17、two weeksD.three weeks六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：15.00)There are two factors which determine an individuals intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an indivi
18、dual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual the sort of environment in which he is reared (抚养). If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will ne
19、ver attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individuals intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes we
20、re the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster (收养) homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to c
21、ollege. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Marks IQ was 125, twenty-five points highe
22、r than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.（分数：15.00）(1).This selection can be titled _.（分数：3.00）A.Measuring Your IntelligenceB.Intelligence and EnvironmentC.T
23、he Case of Peter and MarkD.how the Brain Influences Intelligence(2).The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _.（分数：3.00）A.human brains differ considerablyB.the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceC.environment is crucial in determining a persons
24、 intelligenceD.a person who is handicapped environmentally will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable(3).According to the passage, the average IQ is _.（分数：3.00）A.85B.100C.125D.unknown(4).The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _.（分数：3.00）A.individ
25、uals with identical brains seldom test at the same levelB.an individuals intelligence is determined solely by his environmentC.children reared under average conditions possess average intelligenceD.lack of opportunity hinders the growth of intelligence(5).This passage suggests that an individuals IQ
26、 _.（分数：3.00）A.can be increased by educationB.can be predicted at birthC.is inherited from his parentsD.is determined by his childhood七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：15.00)To a philosopher, wisdom is not the same as knowledge. Facts may be known in enormous numbers without the knower of them loving wisdom.
27、Indeed, the person who possesses encyclopedic (学识渊博的) information may actually have a genuine contempt (轻视) for those who love and seek wisdom. The philosopher is not content with a mere knowledge of facts. He desires to combine and evaluate facts, and to examine beneath the obvious to the deeper or
28、derliness behind the immediately given facts. Insight into the hidden depths of reality, perspective (洞察) on human life and nature in their entirety, in the words of Plato, to be a spectator of time and existence-these are the philosophers objectives. Too great an interest in the small details of sc
29、ience, may, and often does, obscure these basic objectives.Philosophers assume that the love of wisdom is a natural gift of the human being. Potentially every man is a philosopher because in the depths of his being there is an intense longing to penetrate to the meaning of the mysteries of existence
30、 The inner deep longing expresses itself in various ways prior to any actual study of philosophy as a technical branch of human culture. Consequently every human being in so far as he has ever been or is a lover of wisdom has, to that extent, a philosophy of life.（分数：15.00）(1).The title below that
31、best expresses the idea of this passage is _.（分数：3.00）A.The Potential PhilosopherB.The Philosophy of PlatoC.The Philosopher Versus the ScientistD.The Philosopher Defined(2).According to the author, which statement concerning philosophers is most nearly accurate?（分数：3.00）A.They are impractical.B.They
32、 are too radical.C.They are a thoughtful group.D.They have contempt for humanity.(3).The author indicates that a philosopher is a person who _.（分数：3.00）A.disregards factsB.loves wisdomC.desires technical knowledgeD.collects all types of data(4).A philosopher wishes to _.（分数：3.00）A.systematize factsB
33、work by himselfC.show his contempt for knowledgeD.be all of the above(5).The author suggests that a man becomes a philosopher when he _.（分数：3.00）A.studies philosophy as a subjectB.collects all the factsC.realizes obvious truthsD.seeks a meaning for life八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：15.00)After a busy day
34、 of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little de
35、eper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream
36、 Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very d
37、eeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!（分数：15.00）(1).A good title for this passage is _.（分数：3.00）A.SleepB.Good HealthC.DreamsD.Work and Rest(2).The word “drowsy“ in the last paragraph me
38、ans _.（分数：3.00）A.sickB.stand upC.asleepD.a little sleepy(3).This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _.（分数：3.00）A.dream more oftenB.have poor healthC.nervousD.breathe quickly(4).During REM, _.（分数：3.00）A.your eyes move quicklyB.you dreamC.you are restlessD.both A and B(5).Th
39、e average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is _.（分数：3.00）A.approximately six hoursB.around ten hoursC.about eight hoursD.not stated here九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：15.00)In every language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, consist of the whole vocabulary. First, ther
40、e are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use even if we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the goods
41、 in trade of all those who speak the language. Such words may be called “popular“, since they belong to the whole people; and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.On the other hand, our language includes a large number of words which are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversat
42、ion. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little occasion to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mothers lips or from the talk of our school-mates, but from books that we read, lectures that we bear, or the more form
43、al conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style raised above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called “learned“. And the distinction between them and “popular“ words is of great importance to a right understanding of the language.（分数：

46、00）A.seem to be of no useB.can help people to get a better comprehension of the language.C.are easy to masterD.have gone beyond our mothers reach(5).From the passage, we can infer that “popular“ words are _.（分数：3.00）A.essential to daily lifeB.not regular in usageC.convenient to useD.not*standard en
47、ough to be used十、 Daily Conversation(总题数：1，分数：10.00) A. I think so. B. With pleasure. C. Please take it easy. D. Yes, but why? E. Sure you can. F. Its very kind of you! G. Never mind. H.
