7.There are two factors which determine an individual"s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual the sort of environment in which he is reared (撫養(yǎng)). If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
  The importance of environment in determining an individual"s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster (收養(yǎng)) homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark"s IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.

This selection can be titled ______.

A．Measuring Your Intelligence
B．Intelligence and Environment
C．The Case of Peter and Mark
D．how the Brain Influences Intelligence

8.
The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that ______.

A．human brains differ considerably
B．the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence
C．environment is crucial in determining a person"s intelligence
D．a(chǎn) person who is handicapped environmentally will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable

9.
According to the passage, the average IQ is ______.

A．85
B．100
C．125
D．unknown

10.
The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that ______.

A．individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same level
B．a(chǎn)n individual"s intelligence is determined solely by his environment
C．children reared under average conditions possess average intelligence
D．lack of opportunity hinders the growth of intelligence

11.

A．can be increased by education
B．can be predicted at birth
C．is inherited from his parents
D．is determined by his childhood

13.To a philosopher, wisdom is not the same as knowledge. Facts may be known in enormous numbers without the knower of them loving wisdom. Indeed, the person who possesses encyclopedic (學(xué)識(shí)淵博的) information may actually have a genuine contempt (輕視) for those who love and seek wisdom. The philosopher is not content with a mere knowledge of facts. He desires to combine and evaluate facts, and to examine beneath the obvious to the deeper orderliness behind the immediately given facts. Insight into the hidden depths of reality, perspective (洞察) on human life and nature in their entirety, in the words of Plato, to be a spectator of time and existence--these are the philosopher"s objectives. Too great an interest in the small details of science, may, and often does, obscure these basic objectives.
  Philosophers assume that the love of wisdom is a natural gift of the human being. Potentially every man is a philosopher because in the depths of his being there is an intense longing to penetrate to the meaning of the mysteries of existence. The inner deep longing expresses itself in various ways prior to any actual study of philosophy as a technical branch of human culture. Consequently every human being in so far as he has ever been or is a lover of wisdom has, to that extent, a philosophy of life.

The title below that best expresses the idea of this passage is ______.

A．The Potential Philosopher
B．The Philosophy of Plato
C．The Philosopher Versus the Scientist
D．The Philosopher Defined

D．seeks a meaning for life

19.After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
  There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
  Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
  If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!

25.In every language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, consist of the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use even if we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the goods in trade of all those who speak the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the whole people; and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.
  On the other hand, our language includes a large number of words which are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little occasion to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother"s lips or from the talk of our school-mates, but from books that we read, lectures that we bear, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style. raised above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called "learned". And the distinction between them and "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of the language.

One class of words can be learned ______.

A．through everyday life
B．without too much practice
C．from popular songs
D．with a dictionary in one"s hand

26.
The words concerning everyday life are ______.

A．in the possession of each individual

27.
In this passage, "learned" is used ______.

A．a(chǎn)s a word equal to "educated"
B．a(chǎn)s a word similar to "informed"
C．a(chǎn)s a word close to "acquired"
D．a(chǎn)s a word opposite to "popular"

28.
According to the passage, both "popular" words and "learned" words ______.

A．seem to be of no use
B．can help people to get a better comprehension of the language.
C．a(chǎn)re easy to master
D．have gone beyond our mother"s reach

29.
From the passage, we can infer that "popular" words are ______.

A．essential to daily life
B．not regular in usage
C．convenient to use
D．not standard enough to be used

四、4.Cloze

Part IV  Cloze
Directions: There are some blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.The aim of a letter of application(求職信) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state【21】the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have【22】. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without【23】out any necessary facts. In writing a letter of application, keep in【24】that the things a possible employer is most【25】to want to know about are your qualifications(條件), your achievements(成績(jī)) and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.【26】the first few sentences fail to【27】the reader"s attention, the rest of the letter may not be【28】at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not【29】your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your【30】in today"s newspaper," you might say "I have made a careful【31】of your advertising during the past six months." or "I have made a survey(調(diào)查) in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives【32】your product and why they like it."
  Try not to look ordinary. Be clear【33】the kind of job for which you are now【34】. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask, "What can I【35】in a letter? Employers want experience--which, naturally, no【36】has." The answer is that everything you have ever done is【37】
  It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.【38】a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something certain to do or expect. An excellent【39】is to enclose(內(nèi)附) a stamped, self- addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it【40】for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
