Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statemen

15、ts. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 The old idea that child prodigies(神童 ) “burn themselves“ or “overtax their brains“ in the early years

16、, therefore, are prey to failure and ( at worst) mental illness is just a myth. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults. To find this out, 1,500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with

17、these results. On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they did as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. Eighty-four percent of their group were married and seemed content with their life. About 70 percent had graduated from colleges, though only 30 pe

18、rcent had graduated with honors. A few had even flunked out (退学 ) , but nearly half of these had returned to graduate. Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the professions or in business, managers or semi-professional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or professional oc

19、cupations. The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents(专利权 ). In a material way they didnt do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for th

20、e country as a whole, despite their comparative youth when last surveyed. In fact, far from being strange, maladjusted (难以适应 )people locked in an ivory tower, most of the gifted were turning their early promises into practical reality. 16 The statement that child prodigies“burn themselves“or“overtax

21、 their brains“are prey to failure is_. （ A） exacdy reasonable （ B） doubted by the author （ C） an idea of old men （ D） a belief of the author 17 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? （ A） Each of the gifted published at least one article. （ B） Only half of the talented f

22、ollowed up graduated from all the colleges. （ C） Most of the bright children became white collars. （ D） Bright men got higher income than bright women. 18 The adult intelligence tests showed that_. （ A） bright children do not become bright adults （ B） between childhood and adulthood there is a consi

23、derable loss of intelligence （ C） bright children were mostly also bright adults （ D） as adults the gifted make much lower scores on intelligence tests 19 The underlined part “ turning their early promises into practical reality“ most probably means_. （ A） earning their living and keeping promises （

24、 B） realizing what they were expected （ C） doing what they have promised （ D） doing practical jobs and facing reality 20 The main idea of the passage is_. （ A） that gifted children were most likely to become bright grown-ups （ B） that bright children were unlikely to be physically and mentally healt

25、hy （ C） how many gifted children turned successful when they grew up （ D） that when the bright children grew up, they would become ordinary 20 It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站 ). “Im paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,“ she said with a sm

26、ile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare. “ It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friends refrigerator; “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of b

27、eauty. “ The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful ,“ she said, explaining why shed ta

28、ken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “ like a message from above. “ Her husband,Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that

29、 though she liked it, she didnt know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Heres the idea,“ An

30、ne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly. “ Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secredy to a proud old lady. Anne says, “ Kindness can build on itself as much as vi

31、olence can.“ The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours! 21 Why did Natalie Smith pay fo

32、r the six cars behind her? （ A） She knew the car drivers well. （ B） She wanted to show kindness. （ C） She hoped to please others. （ D） She had seven tickets. 22 Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she_. （ A） thought it was beautifully written （ B） wanted to know what it really meant （ C） dec

33、ided to write it on a warehouse wall （ D） wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom 23 Who came up with the phrase according to the passage? （ A） Judy Foreman. （ B） Natalie Smith. （ C） Alice Johnson. （ D） Anne Herbert. 24 Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the unde

34、rlined sentence above? （ A） Kindness and violence can change the world. （ B） Kindness and violence can affect ones behavior. （ C） Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves. （ D） Kindness and violence can shape ones character. 25 What can we infer from the last paragraph? （ A） People should prac

35、tice random kindness to those in need. （ B） People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others. （ C） People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet. （ D） People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver. 25 Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they

36、 were in the past. There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people read only the sports pages,the advice or the gossip columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people dont take the time to read the real news. Newspaper editors say that

37、 their readers are lazy. They say they have to trick people into reading the news. They attempt to catch the readers interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts at

38、tention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headline to make them stop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps they will go on to read the front page. Howev

39、er,they may just read the headlines,but that is all,then they turn to the sports page,or comics,or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. They say they get the news on the television now. More people watch television news because it is easier and more int

40、eresting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you think it is easier to get the news from television? Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there was no news? 26 According to the writer, newspapers are_. （ A） more popular today （ B） less popul

41、ar today （ C） as popular as before （ D） getting more and more popular 27 Editors think the important part of the paper is_. （ A） the headlines （ B） the sports page （ C） the front page （ D） the classified advertisements 28 According to the article, most people read all of the following except_. （ A）

42、the real news （ B） the sports page （ C） comics （ D） advertisements 29 Today more people get news from_. （ A） newspapers （ B） radio （ C） television （ D） both A and B 30 A lot of newspaper readers do not even read the front page anymore because_. （ A） they dont have time （ B） they are lazy （ C） the fr

43、ont page is not attractive enough （ D） the headlines are too horrible and frightening 30 Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed (紧抱的 ) flowers and insects.

44、Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic. Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of gran

45、dparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects. I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigatio

46、ns. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle (谜 ) , because it all seems

47、to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research. But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities require

48、d is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds. 31 According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be_. （ A） full of enthusiasm （ B） self-disciplined （ C） full of ambition （ D） knowledg

49、eable 32 The first paragraph tells us that the author_. （ A） lost his hearing when he was a child （ B） didnt like his brothers and sisters （ C） was born to a naturalists family （ D） was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood 33 The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he_. （ A） just reads about other peoples observations and disc
