14、nswer Sheet.35 The exact year of Christs birth is not recorded, but the calendar began on the supposed date divides time into B.C. (before Christ) and A.D. (in the year of our Lord). Nor was the exact day of his birth known. For the first 300 years his birthday was celebrated on different days. It w
15、as not until the year 354 that December25thwas chosen.Christmas music is loved by all who hear and sing it every year. Carols, bells, and merry music have been a part of Christmas for centuries. Every Christmas Eve the bells ring to call people to church services. The most famous sleigh bells in the
16、 world belong to Santa Claus.Christmas is a family festival. In the United States, no distance seems too great if it enables one to join the family circle for the holiday. All schools close for two weeks, parents welcome home their children and grandchildren and often open their doors to friends and
17、 strangers.36 The calendar began _.（A）in the exact year of Christ birth（B） on the exact date which divides time into B.C.and A.D.（C） on December 25th（D）on the chosen date 37 Before 354, Christs birthday was celebrated _.（A）on December 25th（B） on different days（C） in December, 300（D）in the year of ou

19、, at Christmas, schoolchildren have _ for holiday.（A）a month（B） a week（C） two weeks（D）three weeks 40 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
20、 how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual 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 t
21、hat his brain will fail to develop and he will never 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 identic
22、al brains at birth, and their growth processes were 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
23、 the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. 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 intelli
24、gence. Marks IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher 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.41 This selection can be titled _.（A）Measuring Your Intelligence（B）
25、 Intelligence and Environment（C） The Case of Peter and Mark（D）how the Brain Influences Intelligence 42 The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _.（A）human brains differ considerably（B） the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence（C） environment is c
26、rucial in determining a persons intelligence（D）a person who is handicapped environmentally will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable 43 According to the passage, the average IQ is _.（A）85（B） 100（C） 125（D）unknown 44 The case history of the twins appears to support the conclus
27、ion that _.（A）individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same level（B） an individuals intelligence is determined solely by his environment（C） children reared under average conditions possess average intelligence（D）lack of opportunity hinders the growth of intelligence 45 This passage sugge
28、sts that an individuals IQ _.（A）can be increased by education（B） can be predicted at birth（C） is inherited from his parents（D）is determined by his childhood 45 To a philosopher, wisdom is not the same as knowledge. Facts may be known in enormous numbers without the knower of them loving wisdom. Inde
29、ed, 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 orderl
30、iness 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 scienc
31、e, 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. Th
32、e 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. 46 The title below that best expresses
33、 the idea of this passage is _.（A）The Potential Philosopher（B） The Philosophy of Plato（C） The Philosopher Versus the Scientist（D）The Philosopher Defined 47 According to the author, which statement concerning philosophers is most nearly accurate?（A）They are impractical.（B） They are too radical.（C） Th
34、ey are a thoughtful group.（D）They have contempt for humanity. 48 The author indicates that a philosopher is a person who _.（A）disregards facts（B） loves wisdom（C） desires technical knowledge（D）collects all types of data 49 A philosopher wishes to _.（A）systematize facts（B） work by himself（C） show his
35、contempt for knowledge（D）be all of the above 50 The author suggests that a man becomes a philosopher when he _.（A）studies philosophy as a subject（B） collects all the facts（C） realizes obvious truths（D）seeks a meaning for life 50 After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is nec
36、essary 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 deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles re
37、lax 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. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming o
38、ccurs, 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 deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk wil
39、l help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!51 A good title for this passage is _.（A）Sleep（B） Good Health（C） Dreams（D）Work and Rest 52 The word “drowsy“ in the last paragraph means _.（A）sick（B） stand up（C） asleep（D）a little sleepy 53 This passage
40、 suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _.（A）dream more often（B） have poor health（C） nervous（D）breathe quickly 54 During REM, _.（A）your eyes move quickly（B） you dream（C） you are restless（D）both A and B 55 The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is _.（A）approximately s
41、ix hours（B） around ten hours（C） about eight hours（D）not stated here 55 In every language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, consist of the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, fr
42、om 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 in trade of all those who speak the language. Such words may be called “popular“, since they belong to the
43、 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 conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little occasion to use them at home or
44、 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 formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style raised abov
45、e 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. 56 One class of words can be learned _.（A）through everyday life（B） without too much practice（C） from popular s
46、ongs（D）with a dictionary in ones hand 57 The words concerning everyday life are _.（A）in the possession of each individual（B） something exchanged for money（C） not familiar to highly educated people（D）not included in a book 58 In this passage, “learned“ is used _.（A）as a word equal to “educated“（B） as
47、 a word similar to “informed“（C） as a word close to “acquired“（D）as a word opposite to “popular“ 59 According to the passage, both “popular“ words and “learned“ words _.（A）seem to be of no use（B） can help people to get a better comprehension of the language.（C） are easy to master（D）have gone beyond
48、our mothers reach 60 From the passage, we can infer that “popular“ words are _.（A）essential to daily life（B） not regular in usage（C） convenient to use（D）not standard enough to be used 四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.
