B

2、y intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.(76) For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation

3、 not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he cant make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he failed;

4、 he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, youll see great difference between what we call “bright“ children and “notbright“ children.

5、They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life: he tries to get in touch with everything around him. (77) But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own d

10、Human needs seem endless. (78) When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one

11、 level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third l

12、evel appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs had fairly well been satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “life-enriching“ level. (79) While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the

13、 feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It ineludes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury“ items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also

14、 included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand lu

15、xuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes cl

16、osets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when_.（分数：2.00）A.he has s

17、aved up enough moneyB.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC.he has satisfied his hungerD.he has learned to build houses(2).It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans_.（分数：2.00）A.were very richB.lived in povertyC.had the good things on the first t

18、hree levelsD.did not own automobiles(3).Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction“?（分数：2.00）A.A successful career.B.A comfortable home.C.A good meal.D.A family ear.(4).What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?（分数：2.00）A.The more goods the better.B.The more mental sat

20、e attainable before the government takes actions四、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means

21、the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavi

22、or patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. (80) In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble“ suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide“

23、is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese “surprise“ can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!“ Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in abi

24、lity to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people
