三、3.Reading Comprehension

Part III  Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.Are some 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. On the other hand, a child who lives in boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person" s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. 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 likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people 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 intelligence, 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 other the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates the 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.

The writer is in favor of the view that man" s intelligence is given to him ______ ．

A．a(chǎn)t birth
B．both at birth and through education
C．through education
D．neither at birth nor through education

2.

7.It seems to shine unchangingly, pouring out a constant light year after year. But the sun may not be nearly so stable as we suppose. It is now thought to move quickly and irregularly and change in long-term cycles, growing dimmer and then brighter with each passing year. Some even fear that its frequent changing behavior. would have a great influence on the Earth" s climate.
  The source of the sun" s inconstancy is magnetism. Professor William Livingston has developed new theories about its magnetic nature.
  "We don" t yet know what causes sun spots, "he says, "but we now think they " re areas of high level magnetism that come up from the sun" s interior. So strong is their magnetic pull that the highly ionized gas nearby is not able to transmit energy out. "As a result these areas send out less heat and light and thus appear from Earth to be almost dark irregular surface patches.
  Sun spot activity generally fluctuates in steady, 11-year cycled. Scientists have long formed the o pinion that as the size and number of sun spots increased, the overall energy sent out by the sun would de crease. Indeed, recent studies confirmed it, revealing that during peak periods of sun spot activity, the Earth experiences a small drop that can be seen clearly in received solar energy.
  Could such a small drop in energy have an effect here on earth? Perhaps some scientists think the world temperature could fall by" as much as 0.2 during periods of high solar magnetism.., enough to cause significant fluctuations in weather patterns.

According to the passage, it is believed that the sun ______ ．

A．moves in a quick but steady way year after year
B．sends out less and less heat and light with each passing year
C．radiates the same amount of light every year
D．might have a strong influence on the weather patterns

8.
Which of the following is not true of the sun spots?

A．They are caused by the magnetic pull from inside the sun.
B．They are areas of high- level magnetism.
C．They are actually black holes in the sun.
D．They reach their peak in a cycle of 11 years.

9.
Which of the following is true of Livingston?

A．He thinks he has discovered a new possibility in the link between sun spots and the weather on the Earth.
B．He has great doubts about the theory that the sun" s frequent changes have an influenced on the Earth" s climate.
C．He has been recently informed by other scientists of the possibility that more sun spots will appear.
D．He does not think the causes of the sun spots will be fully revealed by scientists in the near future.

10.
Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

A．The sun shines constantly and gives out the same amount of energy every year.
B．The cause of the sun" s fluctuations is its loss of energy with each passing year.
C．It is sure that the energy sent out by the sun will drop when more sun spots appear.
D．Fluctuations in weather patterns are the results of the pull of gravity.

11.
Which of following is the best title for the passage?

A．Fluctuations in Weather Patterns.
B．Magnetism and the Sun Spots.
C．The Size and Number about the Earth" s.
D．Livingston" s New Theory about the Earth" s Climate.

13.How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young a gain. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
  Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good par ents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
  When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison, ff however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that ______ ．

A．life for a child is comparatively easy
B．a(chǎn) child is always loved whatever he does
C．if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D．only children are interested in life

19.In ancient times the most important exams were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
  In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor" s degree.
  Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same into existence with the great increase, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of mod em industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory.
  Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.
  One type of test is sometimes called as "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test, the teacher writes a series of questions each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.

Which of the following statements is true about the students in the Middle Ages?

A．They took objective.
B．They specialized in one subject.

A．before the Middle Ages
B．a(chǎn)round the 19th century

25.In the seventeenth century, European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the western Great Lakes found that several native tribes were living in the area without a formal leadership system. They appeared to be "quite friendly with each other without a formal authority!"
  Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority, but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions. All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by life long familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indian" s rate of social change was slow. Thus, although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders, no real authority was required. Rather than giving direct orders (which were considered rough), members of the tribes would a- rouse others to action by examples.
  It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society. Most of us have grown up under 6ne authority or another for as we can remember. Our parents, our teachers, our bosses, our government all have the recognized fight under certain conditions to tell us what to do. The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it. We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale.
  Of course, the major reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large. The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform. often under tight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system. In modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to achieve any social objectives.

Which of the following sentences is correct according to the passage?

A．From 1710 to 1780, European soldiers came across some Indian groups in the western Great Lakes.
B．European soldiers were quite friendly to the Indian groups.
C．The Indian groups had no leaders.
D．The Indian groups only obeyed their own gods.

26.
The Indians got their brothers to do something by ______ ?

A．telling them what to do
B．showing them how to do it
C．making them obey the order
D．beating them down to lower prices

27.
According to the author, it is hard to imagine a workable society without ______ .

A．a(chǎn) recognized authority
B．enough money
C．examples
D．changes

28.
After reading the passage, you may conclude that ______ ．

A．the Indian system is also suitable for some small towns
B．the Indians were too simple to some small towns
C．our social system is much better than that existing Indian society
D．the Indian social system would be very difficult for our society

29.

A．by learning from Indian" s way of doing things
B．by raising questions time and again
C．a(chǎn)s quickly as we can
D．a(chǎn)s slowly as we can

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.Most dictionaries will tell you a number of【21】about a language. There are three things in particular that【22】important. These three things are spelling, pronunciation, and meanings.
  The first and most obvious thing is that a dictionary will【23】you the spelling of a word. If you"re not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order--a, b, e, and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word "poor"--p, o, o, r--comes before "poverty"--p, o, v, e, r, t, y and the word "poverty" comes【24】the word "power"--p, o, w, e, r. The words are always given in alphabetical order.
  The second thing a dictionary will tell you is【25】. Most dictionaries give the pronunciation of a word in a special kind of alphabet. This special alphabet is called a phonetic, or sound alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you generally【26】a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.
  The【27】thing a dictionary will tell you is the meanings of words. You can【28】a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will explain all of the word"s meanings. For example, in English the common word "get" has over 20 different meanings. The meaning, of course,【29】the sentence in which the word is used.
  These three things--spelling, pronunciation, and meanings--are some of the important【30】that you learn from dictionaries.
