20、 followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One 30 The other day I announced that I wo

21、uld go abroad for further studies right after my college education. My decision evoked(引起的 )the immediate objection of my family: Why? Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas studies while I might receive the same education at home at a relatively low cost? My answer is: In addition to

22、knowledge, I can gain experience that those who stay at home will never have. First, experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home, the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in academic and every

23、day life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Living in English-speaking countries such as America and Australia for several years, for example my English will be as perfect as native speakers. Second, living and studying

24、 abroad offers me a different perspective on the world. On a university campus, foreign students are likely to encounter their counterparts(对应的人或物 )from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values. This helps me to have a meaningful understanding of different societie

25、s and inevitably sees my own country in a new light. Third, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficultiesdifficulties in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone. Yet, the diffic

26、ulty, coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock, is a rewarding experience for ones future life and development of personality. Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained, but the experience desirabl

27、e in ones personal life. 31 The reason why the author wants to go abroad for further studies is that_. （ A） the author can receive different education abroad （ B） it is cheaper to receive education abroad （ C） the author can have different experience abroad （ D） the author can have the knowledge tha

28、t people cant get at home 32 People can make their English as good as a native speaker if they_. （ A） often listen to tapes （ B） can live in England or Canada （ C） try their best to study that home （ D） often visit the foreign websites 33 Apart from the education, what can people get from living abr

29、oad? （ A） A huge sum of scholarship. （ B） A new knowledge of the world. （ C） An opportunity to meet superstars. （ D） A new perspective on the university campus. 34 According to the author, the main trouble people encounter in overseas study is to_. （ A） be accustomed to the new life there all by the

30、mselves （ B） experience frustration and pain （ C） cope with all kinds of difficulties （ D） get reward from the culture shock 35 In the authors opinion, what is the advantage of going abroad? （ A） It is to get the knowledge people need only. （ B） It is to deepen the study as well as enrich the experi

31、ence. （ C） It is to satisfy people and relieve the pain. （ D） It is to get what people need in their life. Passage Two 35 The people who multitask(同时执行多项任务 )the most are the ones who are worst at it. Thats the surprising conclusion of researchers at Stanford University, who found multitaskers are mo

32、re easily distracted and less able to ignore irrelevant information than people who do less multitasking. In a telephone interview, Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanfords communications department, said that the huge finding is that the more media people use the worse they are at using any media. T

33、he researchers studied 262 college undergraduates, dividing them into high and low multitasking groups and comparing such things as memory, ability to switch from one task to another and being able to focus on a task. Their findings were reported in Tuesdays edition of Proceedings of the National Ac

34、ademy of Sciences. In the study, the researchers first had to figure out who are the heavy and light multitaskers. They gave the students a form listing a variety of media such as print, television, computer-based video, music, computer games, telephone voice or text, and so forth. When it came to s

35、uch essential abilities, people who did a lot of multitasking didnt score as well as others, Nass said. Still to be answered is why the folks who are worst at multitasking are the ones doing it the most. Its sort of a chicken-or-egg question. Nass wanted to find out multitasking is causing them to b

36、e lousy(差劲的 )at multitasking, or their lousiness at multitasking is causing them to be multitaskers. He also wanted to know it is born or learned. In a society that seems to encourage more and more multitasking, the findings have social implications(影响 ), Nass observed. Multitasking is already blame

37、d for car crashes as several states restrict the use of cell phones while driving. Lawyers or advertisers can try to use irrelevant information to distract and re focus people to influence their decisions. 36 According to the first paragraph, the multitaskers are likely to_. （ A） be worse at doing a

38、ny task （ B） ignore irrelevant information in doing a task （ C） be distracted and pay attention to irrelevant information （ D） do less tasks at a time 37 According to Clifford Nass, the research showed that_. （ A） people should use more and more media （ B） people would use worse media in the future

39、（ C） people would be worse at using more media （ D） people would be shocked at using media 38 What should the scientists do first in the research of the undergraduates? （ A） Find out who are the heavy and light multitaskers. （ B） Divide the students into different groups. （ C） Compare different abil

40、ities of the undergraduates. （ D） Give the students a form to fill out. 39 What did Clifford Nass want to find out in the research? （ A） The relationship between multitasking and multitaskers. （ B） Who are worst at multitasking. （ C） The answer to a chicken-or-egg question. （ D） Social implications

41、of multitasking. 40 Why is the use of cell phones while driving restricted in some states? （ A） It can encourage more and more multitasking. （ B） It can cause car crashes. （ C） It can have social implications. （ D） It can distract and refocus people. Passage Three 40 Are some people born clever and

42、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 to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligenc

43、e. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than a child who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This vie

44、w, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that ntelligence 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 intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random

45、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,

46、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 could soon find differences in intelligence devel

47、oping, 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 degrees of intelligence. 41 The writer is in favor of the view tha

48、t mans intelligence is given to him_. （ A） at birth （ B） through education （ C） both at birth and through education （ D） neither at birth nor through education 42 If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_. （ A） never become a genius （ B） still become a genius if given special education （ C）

49、exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundings （ D） not reach his intelligence limits in his life 43 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 44 The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_. （ A） the i
