Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 35 Psychology is the study of the mind and mental activities. For example,
13、 psychologists are interested in why some things make you sad, but others make you happy. They want to know why some people are shy, but others are quite talkative. They also want to know why people do the things that they do. They test intelligence. Psychologists deal with the minds and behavior of
14、 people. Your mind consists of all your feelings , thoughts, and ideas. It is the result of one part of the brain called the cerebrum. Your behavior is the way you act or conduct yourself. Examples of behavior include shouting, crying, laughing, and sleeping. Several people have been instrumental in
15、 the field of psychology. Wilhelm Width set up the first psychological laboratory in Leipzig, Germany, in 1879. Ivan Pavlov, a Russian, is noted for his experiments with dogs in which he studied their reflexes and reactions. Around 1900, Sigmund Freud stated his theory that people try to hold back a
16、ny memories or thoughts that they believed were not good. Psychologists should not be confused with psychiatrists. Psychiatrists deal only with mental illness. They are medical doctors who treat people. 36 A good title for this selection is_. （ A） Studying the Mind （ B） Psychology and Psychiatry （ C
17、） Feelings and Behavior of Human Beings （ D） Famous Psychologists 37 The sentence “ Some people are shy. “ means_. （ A） they are modest （ B） they are quiet （ C） they never say a word （ D） they are ashamed 38 We may conclude that psychologists_. （ A） study physical diseases as well （ B） deal with ani

19、ogy 40 A subject that seems to have been insufficiently studied by doctors and psychologists is the influence of geography and climate on the psychological and physical health of humankind. There seems no doubt that the general character of landscape, the relative length of day and night, and climat
20、e must all play a part in determining what kind of people we are. It is true that a few studies have been made. Where all the inhabitants of a particular area enjoy exceptionally good or bad health, scientists have identified contributory factors such as the presence or absence of substances like io
21、dine, fluoride, calcium, or iron in the water supply, or perhaps types of land that provide breeding places for pests like mosquitoes or rats. Moreover, we can all generalize about types of people we have met. Those living in countries with long dark winters are apt to be less talkative and less liv
22、ely than inhabitants of countries where the climate is more equable. And where olives and oranges grow, the inhabitants are cheerful, talkative, and casual. But these commonplace generalizations are inadequate: the influence of climate and geography should be studied in depth. Do all mountain dwelle
23、rs live to a ripe old age? Does the drinking of wine, rather than beer, result in a sunny and open character? Is the strength and height of a Kenyan tribe due to their habitual drinking of the cow blood? We are not yet sure of the answers to such questions, but let us hope that something beneficial
24、to humankind may eventually result from such studies. 41 The passage mainly discusses_. （ A） the importance of environmental protection （ B） the influence of geographical environment （ C） different ways to keep healthy （ D） the psychological and physical health of humankind 42 We may infer that “ io
25、dine, fluoride, calcium. “(Para. 2)are_. （ A） substances which act positively or negatively on human health （ B） harmful substances in the water supply （ C） substances which help provide breeding places for pests （ D） substances contributory to the height and strength of a person 43 From Paragraph 3
26、 we know that geography and climate play an important role in determining the inhabitants _. （ A） health condition （ B） life-span （ C） social habits （ D） diet 44 According to the author, research into the influence of geography and climate should （ A） focus on some unknown aspects （ B） be pursued on
27、 a larger scale （ C） be carried out among remote tribes （ D） be more in depth 45 The author hopes that the studies mentioned in the passage will enable us to_. （ A） generalize better about types of people in the world （ B） find better water supplies for inhabitants in some dry areas （ C） gain insigh
28、t into the influence of geographical environment on humankind （ D） live to a ripe old age just like those mountain dwellers 45 A good example of a group of nations working together for the common good is the European Economic Community, or the “Common Market“. As of 1981, ten European countries made
29、 up this organization. In joining the Common Market, each member nation agrees to an overall plan that designed to unify the members economies. There are several key elements to the economic integration in the Common Market. First, such trade barriers as tariffs have been virtually eliminated among
30、member countries. Workers are free to find employment in any of the member countries. Laws that regulate businesses have been made uniform. A common policy on agriculture and fiscal matters is another feature of the Common Market plan. As a result of the Common Market, the economic growth of member
31、countries has sharply increased. Unemployment has been reduced. At the same time, the standard of living in the member nations has become higher. 46 According to the passage, a major purpose for the creation of the Common Market was to （ A） improve the economies of European nations through joint pla
32、nning （ B） provide for the common defense of European nations （ C） protect European economies from competition with the United States （ D） reduce unemployment in member nations 47 Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage? （ A） Europe in the Twentieth Century （ B） Mo
33、dem Economics （ C） The Role of Government in Business （ D） International Cooperation in Economics 48 It can be inferred from the information contained in the passage that_. （ A） nations that did not join the Common Market are controlled by the Soviet Union （ B） the United States has a great desire t
34、o participate in the Common Market （ C） members of the Common Market have stronger political ties than do nonmember nations （ D） there are fewer strikes in Common Market member nations 49 As it is used in the passage, the word “tariff“ in Paragraph 2 means_. （ A） things, events, etc. of little value
35、 or importance （ B） taxes on goods imported or exported （ C） prices asked for goods or services （ D） movement of people and vehicles along roads and streets 50 The authors attitude toward the “Common Market“ can best be described as_. （ A） praise （ B） uncaring （ C） understanding （ D） hostile 50 Once

(10 points) 66 The term “generation gap“ was coined in the 1960s. One concept of the generation gap is that parents and childr
43、en have different values and beliefs. As a result, many parents fear that peer o-pinions will become more highly valued and that they in turn will lose confidence. 67 Adults may think they are protecting children from secondhand smoke when they smoke outside their home or only when the children are
44、not there. But now researchers are warning about what they call “third-hand smoke“. When you smoke, dangerous matter from tobacco smoke gets into your hair and clothing.
