2、ing letter on the Answer Sheet. 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 to us at birth, and no amount of special education

3、 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 persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches th

4、ose 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 are likely to be in intellige

5、nce.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

6、 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

7、 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 not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelli

8、gence. 1. The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to himA.at birthB.through educationC.both at birth and through educationD.neither at birth nor through education答案:C本題為細節辨別題。文章第一段的前三句話就回答了這個問題，即：聰明才智可以是天生的，也可以是后天培養的。2. If a child is born with low intelligence, he canA.bec

9、ome a geniusB.still become a genius if he should be given special educationC.exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD.not reach his intelligence in his life答案:C本題為細節推理題。由文章第一段倒數第二句可知：盡管人的智力發展極限在出生時就已決定，但是否能達到這個極限還取決于他所處的環境。3. In the second paragraph .if we take two unrelated people at ra

10、ndom from the population means if we _.A.pick any two personsB.take out two different personsC.choose two persons who are relativesD.choose two persons with different intelligence答案:A本題為細節推理題。第二段中“On the other hand”連接的是前后兩個相對的概念，緊接著的后一句說選擇一對雙胞胎作為實驗對象，由此可判斷選項B，C，D在意思上和 two identical twins 表達的概念不存在相對的

11、意義。at random：隨意地。4. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately showsA.the importance of their intelligenceB.the role of environment on intelligenceC.the importance of their positionsD.the part that birth plays答案:B本題為細節辨別題。第三段第三句就指出：實驗表明，環境和先天因素一樣影響著智力發展。5. The best ti

12、tle of this passage can be _.A.SurroundingsB.IntelligenceC.Dependence on EnvironmentD.Effect of Education答案:B本題為主旨概括題。文章第一段講智力水平是由先天和后天環境兩個因素決定的，第二段講先天因素的影響；第三段講環境的影響。所以話題一直圍繞 intelligence 展開。 Strong bonds can exist in dating relationships. My cousin Candice and her friend Louis started dating casua

13、lly last year. As the months passed, they began seeing only each other, and now they enjoy a close relationship. They are neither married or engaged but are constant companions and consider each other best friends. Candices friends think of them as a couple and recognize their special relationship.

14、Both Candice and Louis have made commitments to each other. They think of themselves as couple. However, each has the freedom to develop new friends, to seek separate social activities, to build separate careers, and to have his or her individual needs fulfilled. Living together can be the transitio

15、n from extended dating to marriage. Just recently, Louis and Candice decided to live together. They are not sure about marriage and want to try living together first. Louis has many divorced friends who had rushed into marriage. He doesnt want to make a similar mistake. He knows that living together

16、 will not be easy, but feels he has few alternatives. Friends and family will exert pressure on the couple to get married. Louis knows that this is the worst reason to get married. He believes that living together will provide Candice and him with an opportunity to see how well each can adjust to th

17、e others feelings and living styles.He hopes they will discover whether they are compatible. Louis moved into Candices apartment this weekend. Books, records, and clothing fit in nicely.

The special relationship between Candice and Louis prevents them from _.A.having new friendsB.developing individual careersC.having their social activ

19、ities together all the timeD.realizing separate needs答案:C本題為細節推理題。第二段最后一句 “each has the freedom to develop new Mends，to seek separate social activities，to build separate careers，and to have his or her individual needs fulfilled” 中指出他們可以有各自的社交活動，由此推斷選項 B 是正確的。7. Living together _.A.is practiced by re

20、latively fewB.is guiltyC.is pretty common among singlesD.will involve both good and trying times答案:D本題為細節推理題。文章第三段暗示同居可以避免 Louis 那些朋友在婚姻問題上所犯的錯誤，但同時又指出“living together will not be easy”，因為有來自各方面的壓力 (Friends and family will exert pressure on the couple to get married)。這正好符合選項 D 中的 “good” 和 “trying” (

21、使人痛苦的，考驗人的)兩個詞的含義。8. The word compatible (in the last paragraph but one) can be replaced by _.A.harmoniousB.consistentC.understandingD.particular答案:A本題為上下文理解題。第三段倒數第二句 “He believes that living together will provide Candice and him with an opportunity to see how well each can adjust to the others fee

22、lings and living styles” 即：同居可以給他們提供一個機會，看他們能否相互適應對方的情感和生活方式。這就解釋了下一句中 compatible (協調的，一致的，兼容的)的含義。選項B意思是“符合的，一貫的”。9. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Louis and Candice are best friends.B.Louis moved into Candices apartment after they started dating last year.C.Although they live toge

23、ther, they are not married or engaged.D.Louis doesnt want to follow the step of his divorced friends.答案:B本題為細節是非判斷題。最后一段第一句“Louis moved into Candices apartment this weekend” 指出本周他們才住在一起，顯然選項B是錯的。10. What can be the best title of the passage?A.A Happy Couple.B.My Cousins Boyfriend.C.The Newlywed.D.An

24、 Unmarried-married Couple.答案:D本題為主旨概括題。全文講的是 Candice 和 Louis 雖然沒有結婚，但像結婚的夫婦一樣生活著。 A fine piece of music, a masterpiece of painting, or a first-rate play has the power to capture and hold out fullest and most concentrated attention. We are completely wrapped up in it, and everything works out right.

25、The music comes to the right close at the right time and in the right way. The play ends, not necessarily on a happy note, but in a way that seems inevitable (不可避免的) and appropriate. As we grow more and more aware of the painting, its parts seem to belong together and to be made for each other. We p

26、erceive harmony (和諧) in the object and feel harmony within ourselves. When the aesthetic (美學的) experience has ended, we often feel uplifted and refreshed. Our eyes and ears, our insight into other persons, or our understanding of moral values may be sharpened and refined. We may feel more at home wi

27、th ourselves. Works of art have value for use in all these. It is this value that marks the difference between great art and simple entertainment. A work that is fairly easy to understand and appreciate takes little effort on our part. It may give us pleasure. But it does not involve our emotions or

28、 our attention at a deep level. It may take our minds off our troubles for a time, but it does not give us the spiritually enriching experience of vital and orderly design. To enjoy the value of works of art, we must be ready to give a great deal to them. The greatest works of music and poetry often

29、 present difficulties. We cannot expect to master them all at once, and we cannot always find what is worthy in them at a glance. It is possible to get some satisfaction out of music while reading a newspaper or peeling (削皮) potatoes. But we must listen with full attention before we can find the ric

30、hes in great works of music. 11. Which of the following is nearest in meaning to We are completely wrapped up in it (Paragraph One)?A.We are totally absorbed by such fine piece of art.B.We feel that the music seems to be around us.C.Something wraps us when we are appreciating such a fine piece of ar

31、t.D.Such a fine piece of art makes us feel very excited.答案:A本題為上下文理解題。第一段第一句“A fine piece of music，a masterpiece of painting，or a first-rate play has the power to capture and hold out fullest and most concentrated attention”解釋了這句話的意思，即：一部優秀的音樂作品、繪畫杰作或是一部一流的劇作，都具有一種能完全征服我們、吸引我們所有注意力的力量。12. Which of t

32、he following may NOT be an advantage of the aesthetic experience?A.People may feel raised up spiritually.B.It may help people understand moral values.C.It make people feel that they are at home with their family members.D.It can help people understand others better.答案:C本題為細節辨別題。文章第二段的 “feel uplifted

33、 and refreshed”(感覺得到升華和清新)和 A 的意思相同；“our insight into other persons or our understanding of moral values may be sharpened and refined”(對其他人以及對道德觀的理解得到加深)和 B，D 的意思相同。文中 feel at home with 意為“感覺自在，無拘束”，選項 C 顯然不符題意。13. Which of the following is true about the difference between great art and simple ente

34、rtainment according the author?A.Great art is easy to understand while simple entertainment is not.B.Simple entertainment gives us pleasure while great art never does.C.Great art can sharpen ones insight into life and other people while simple entertainment can not.D.Simple entertainment can make a

35、person forget his trouble while great art can not.答案:C本題為細節推理題。第三段講的是偉大的藝術作品和普通的文藝作品的區別。第一句“It is this value that marks the difference between great an and simple entertainment”即：藝術杰作正是具有這樣的價值才使它不同于一般的文藝作品。句中的 this value就是上文提到的特點，所以只有選項 C 在上文中提到。14. We may conclude from reading the passage that the

36、right attitude of enjoying works of art is toA.try to master the value all at onceB.enjoy them while doing other things in order to get some satisfactionC.expect great difficulties and give up when it is too hard to understand themD.be aware of its difficulties and enjoy them with full attention答案:D

37、本題為綜合概括題。總結最后一段的內容，第二句“The greatest works of music and poetry often present difficulties”指出：藝術杰作往往不容易理解。最后一句“we must listen with full attention before we can find the riches in great works of music”又指出：我們只有全神貫注地欣賞才能理解杰出的音樂作品中所表達的深刻內涵。選項 A，B指的是對一般文娛作品的欣賞。15. In which of the following magazines would

38、this passage most probably appear?A.Fashion.B.Science Today.C.The World of Literature.D.Art and Aesthetics.答案:D本題為主旨概括題。全文講的是藝術杰作的價值及其它們帶給我們的藝術享受。只可能在藝術和美學雜志上才會有相關話題。 Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excess

39、ively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely.

42、may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one, Youre just saying that to make me feel good. I know its not true. It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated (消除), or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can

43、overcome shyness with determined and patient effort in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Peoples expectations of themselves must be realistic. Living on the impossible l

44、eads to a sense of inadequacy. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual. We are interested in our own personal ways.
