Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. 25 Most young people enjoy physical activi

19、ties, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering. These who have a passion【 C1】 _climbing high and difficult mountains are often【 C2】 _with astonishment. Why are men and women【 C3】 _to suffer cold and hardship, and to【 C4】 _on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the differen

20、ce between mountaineering and other forms of activities【 C5】_which men give their leisure. There are no man-made rules, as there are for【 C6】 _games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to【 C7】_, but it is this freedom from man-made rules【

21、C8】 _makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own【 C9】_. If we【 C10】 _mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is【 C11】 _mountaineering is not a “team work“. However, it is only our misunderstanding.

A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions【 C17】 _in their early twenties. But it is not【 C18】 _for men of fifty or sixty to climb the

24、highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more【 C19】_than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less【 C20】_of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment. 26 【 C1】 （ A） for （ B） in （ C） to （ D） of 27 【 C2】 （ A） looked up to （ B） looked forward （ C） looked into （ D） lo

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on

29、ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Every time we open our mouths and speak we label ourselves I am English, you may be Bulgarian or African. We are all human beings, but sometimes we have communication problems which can lead to suspicion and misunderstanding. If you speak English, you have an advantage. The Englis

30、h language means power and freedom to many. It dominates international relations. It affects nearly all our lives in one way or another, influencing everything from pop music to diplomatic relations. Yet only around 10% of the worlds population are native English language speakers. Many of you who a

31、re reading now will have struggled to learn the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation of this very complicated language. But there could be another solution: learning Esperanto. Esperanto, meaning “one who hopes“, is an artificial language which is said to be the earliest in the world to learn. It w

32、as invented in 1887 by Ludwig Zamnehof, a young Polish optician. The usefulness of Esperanto has been recognized the world over. It is now estimated that around eight million people in over 100 countries have at least some knowledge of it. In Esperanto, we have a language that is easy to learn and f

33、air to all speakers because it belongs not to one nation but to us all. Many people, who have tried to learn other languages and failed, have succeeded in Esperanto because it is so easy. Although it is often seen as a joke and not as an important living language, it has been considered dangerous an

34、d governments are sometimes afraid of it. Your view of the world is largely based on the language you speak. If you are French, you have a French view; if you are Chinese, you have a Chinese view, and so on. Peter Miles, a member of the Esperanto Translation Service in England, says that speaking Es

35、peranto gives you a truly international view of the world. He regards himself as a citizen of the world looking down from a satellite circling the earth, who is able to communicate with people all over the world in Esperanto. A nice thought! 46 What is the best title for the passage? （ A） Esperanto

36、An artificial Language. （ B） Esperanto A Language for All. （ C） A Language Expressing Peoples Dream. （ D） A Language Resulting From a Nice Thought. 47 Esperanto is _. （ A） often taken lightly （ B） Zamnehofs mother tongue （ C） accepted by all people （ D） a favorite of some linguists 48 Implied but no

37、t directly stated is that _. （ A） Zamnehof hated Russian （ B） English is more difficult to learn than Esperanto （ C） Peter Miles is an astronaut （ D） eight million people can speak Esperanto 49 Peter Miles is _. （ A） from the Esperanto Translation Service in Bulgaria （ B） in charge of the Esperanto

38、Translation Organization of Britain （ C） a member of the Esperanto Translation Service in Britain （ D） a member of the Translation Service of Europe 50 The author speaks of Esperanto _. （ A） in an exaggerative way （ B） in a subjective way （ C） in a mysterious way （ D） in a favorable way. 50 Are some

39、 people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with

40、 low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environme

41、nt. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated peop

42、le at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar in

43、telligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intell

44、igence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. 51 According to the passage, if

45、 a child is born with low intelligence, he can _. （ A） never become a genius （ B） exceed his intelligence limit in good surroundings （ C） still become a genius if he should be given special education （ D） not reach his intelligence limit in his life 52 The writer is in favor of the view that mans in

46、telligence is given to him _. （ A） at birth （ B） through education （ C） both at birth and through education （ D） neither at birth nor through education 53 In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population “means“ if we _.“ （ A） pick up any two persons （ B） choose

47、 two different persons （ C） take out two persons who are relative （ D） choose two persons with different intelligence from each other 54 The example of the twins mentioned in the third paragraph shows the importance of _. （ A） the birth （ B） their intelligence （ C） environment on intelligence （ D） t

48、he university 55 The best title of this passage can be _. （ A） Surroundings （ B） Intelligence （ C） Effect of Education （ D） Dependence on Environment 55 People from many countries find it difficult to understand how the majority of Americans live comfortable lives without the support of a public wel

49、fare system. Medical care in the United States is expensive; university education can cost 20,000 per year; living well after a worker retires requires more money than will be paid through the Social Security System. Most Americans prepare for those needs by saving a part of their salaries in saving banks; others invest in industries or service corporations in hopes of receiving greater profits. Most Americans
