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 experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both 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 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 person"s intelligence are fixed at birth, but 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 most closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees 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 where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence 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 related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.

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

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

2.
If a child is born with Iow intelligence, he can ______.

A．never become a genius
B．still become a genius if he should be given special education
C．exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
D．not reach his intelligence in his life

3.
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 two persons who are relatives
C．take out two different persons
D．choose two persons with different intelligence

4.
The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately show ______.

A．the importance of their intelligence
B．the role of environment on intelligence
C．the importance of their positions
D．the part that birth plays

5.
The best title of this passage can be ______.

A．Dependence on Environment
B．Intelligence
C．Surroundings
D．Effect of Education

7.Eye contact is a nonverbal technique that helps the speaker "sell" his or her ideas to an audience. Besides its persuasive powers, eye contact helps hold listeners" interest. A successful speaker must maintain eye contact with an audience. To have good rapport (關(guān)系) with listeners, a speaker should maintain direct eye contact for at least 75 percent of the time. Some speakers focus exclusively on their notes. Others gaze over the heads of their listeners. Both are likely to lose audience interest and esteem. People who maintain eye contact while speaking, whether from a podium (演講臺) or from across the table are "regarded not only as exceptionally well-disposed by their target but also as more believable and earnest."
  To show the potency of eye contact in daily life, we have only to consider how passersby behave when their glances happen to meet on the street. At one extreme are those people who feel obliged to smile when they make eye contact. At the other extreme are those who feel awkward and immediately look away. To make eye contact, it seems, is to make a certain link with someone.
  Eye contact with an audience also lets a speaker know and monitor the listeners. It is, in fact, essential for analyzing an audience during a speech. Visual cues (暗示) from audience members can indicate that a speech is dragging, that the speaker is dwelling on a particular point for too long, or that a particular point requires further explanation. As we have pointed out, visual feedback from listeners should play an important role in shaping a speech as it is delivered.

This passage is mainly concerned with ______.

A．the importance of eye contact
B．the potency of nonverbal techniques
C．successful speech delivery
D．a(chǎn)n effective way to gain visual feedbacks

8.
According to the passage, a good speaker must ______.

A．sell his or her ideas to an audience
B．maintain direct eye contact with listeners
C．be very persuasive and believable
D．be exceptionally well-disposed

9.
The word "target" in the last sentence of the first paragraph can best be replaced by ______.

A．destination
B．goal
C．a(chǎn)udience
D．followers

10.
In daily life, when the glances of two passersby happen to meet, these two persons will inevitable ______.

A．smile to each other
B．feel awkward and look away immediately
C．try to make a conversation with each other
D．none of the above

11.
Eye contact with an audience, according to the author, has all the following benefits for the speaker EXCEPT that it doesn"t ______.

A．help the speaker to control the audience
B．help the speaker to gain audience interest and esteem
C．help the speaker to know whether he is talking too much about a certain point
D．help the speaker to analyze his audience when he is beginning his speech

13.There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (優(yōu)先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.   If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher"s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe." He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That"s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
  I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible (難以辨認(rèn)的) ." It may have a sharp criticism of the pupil"s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child"s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child"s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

Teachers differ in their opinions about ______.

A．the difficulties in teaching spelling
B．the role of spelling in general language development
C．the complexities of the basic writing skills
D．the necessity of teaching spelling

14.
The expression "play safe" probably means" ______."

A．to write carefully
B．to do as teachers say
C．to use dictionaries frequently
D．to avoid using words one is not sure of

15.
Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ______.

A．students will be able to express their ideas more freely
B．teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
C．students will have more confidence in writing
D．students will learn to be independent of teachers

16.
The writer seems to think that the teacher"s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is ______.

A．reasonable
B．foolish
C．unfair
D．careless

17.
The major point discussed in the passage is ______.

A．the importance of developing writing skills
B．the complexities of spelling
C．the correct way of marking compositions
D．the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

19.Modem ideas are beginning to influence the Eskimos, but not enough to make much difference to their way of life. They still spend the winter in igloos, the round huts that are built of snow frozen hard. They still travel on sleds that are pulled by dogs. The winter is too cold for hunting, so during that season they live on the stores of seal meat that they have killed in the summer. But seal meat is not the only kind of food that they eat. In summer they hunt bears and reindeer, a type of deer With long branching horns that is used for its milk, meat and skin. They also fish all the year round. The Eskimos who are hunters in summer are fishermen in winter. In winter they make holes in the ice and catch their fish through the holes that they have made. The Eskimos are adaptable. That is why they are able to live in Arctic regions.
