A
There are two factors which determine an individual's 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 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.If an individual is handicapped environmentally，it is likely that 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 individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins，Peter and Mark X．Being identical，the twins had identical 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 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 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 intelligence.Mark's I．Q.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.
1．This selection can best be titled________.
A．Measuring Your Intelligence
B．Intelligence and Environment
C．The Case of Peter and Mark
D．How the brain Influences Intelligence
2．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 vital to determine a person's intelligence
D．persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence
3．According to the passage，the average I．Q.is________.
A．85 B．100
C．110 D．125
4．The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that________.
A．individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
B．an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environment
C．lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
D．changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain
5．This passage suggests that an individual's I．Q.________.
A．can be predicted at birth
B．stays the same throughout his life
C．can be increased by education
D．is determined by his childhood
B
The reasons for going to college has been accepted without question for more than a generation.All high school graduates ought to go，says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence，because college will help them earn more money，become “better” people，and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone.And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending，those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous，and more obvious.College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis；college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school.Others find no stimulation in their studies，and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.
Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much.But that's a criticize of the students as a whole，and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness.Others blame the state of the world，and they are partly right.We've been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-old either.
Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best，the proper，the only place for every young person after the completion of high school.We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down，it seems，and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences.Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，or quick to learn things—maybe it's just the other way around，and intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place.And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not.This is heresy(异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good，more has to be much better.But contrary evidence is beginning to gradually increase in amount.
6．What does the author believe according to the passage?
A．People used to question the value of college education.
B．People used to have full confidence in higher education.
C．All high school graduates went to college.
D．Very few high school graduates chose to go to college.
7．In the second paragraph，“those who don't fit the pattern”refers to________.
A．high school graduates who aren't suitable for college education
B．college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxis
C．college students who aren't any better for their higher education
D．high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college
8．Why does the drop out rate of college students seem to go up?
A．Young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at college.
B．Many young people are required to join the army.
C．Young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher education.
D．Young people don't like the intense competition for admission to graduate school.
9．According to the passage，the problems of college education partlyarise from the fact that________.
A．society can not provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduates
B．high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education
C．too many students have to earn their own living
D．college administrators encourage students to drop out
10．In this passage the author argues that________.
A．more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduates
B．college education is not enough if one wants to be successful
C．college education benefits only the intelligent，ambitious，and quick-learning people
D．intelligent people may learn quicker if they don't go to college

III. 阅读理解
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The A-level question Have 22 continuous years of rises in A-level pass rate made the exam worthless? David Miliband, the minister for School Standards, insists the answer is a firm “no”. And he said it was wrong that “more will mean worse and more educa tion for more people will mean lower standards”. Figures show that — despite the rise in A-grades to 21. 6 per cent — only 22,000 out of 600,000 18-year-olds gain three A-grade pas ses. Put another way, that means — in a primary class of 30 pupils — only one will get three A-grades. The center right Bow Group, in a pamphlet published today, however, says nine out of ten scholars believe A-grades have been devalued over the past ten years.
Two inquiries (调查) — both set up by the Government's exams watchdogs — one of which included in dependent teaching experts, refused to accept that there had been any “dumping down” of A-level standards. But while they conclude that the exam questions have not become easier, changes in examining methods have almost certainly made it easier to gain top-grade passes.
As a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000, students sit six different types of exams to make up an A-level during the course of their two years of study. Only 20 per cent of the marks are set for the end-of-term exam. This makes it easier for teachers to help their pupils with the right answers.
Mr Miliband said yesterday, “My argument is not that to day's generation of pupils are cleverer than their parents; it is that schools and teachers are getting better at getting the best out of them.”
46. From the writer's point of view, the rise in A-grades to 21. 6 per cent shows ______.
A. it is generally thought more education means lower standards
B. the rise in the A-level pass rate has made the exam worthless
C. the quality of the 18-year-olds has become lower
D. it is still hard for the general pupils to get three A-grade passes
47. The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. the exams watchdogs B. the independent teaching experts
C. the A-level standards D. the two inquiries
48. As a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000 ______.
A. the pass rate for A-levels was set to rise continuously
B. the exam became easier than it had been before 2000
C. pupils could have many more choices of test after 2000
D. it soon became popular with teachers and pupils
49. What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. How reliable and effective the A-level grading system is.
B. How the A-level system helps universities select pupils.
C. How the pass rate has been increased in recent years.
D. How the A-level grading system has changed over the years.

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — 54____________— replied. “Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind 55_____. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.
56_______. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, 57________.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. 58_____. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
A. we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders
B. who could not have been more than seven or eight years old
C. It is called television
D. Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years

I ever worked as a tour guide. One day I saw advertisement in the newspaper. I rang up the company, but I was given the job immediate. They asked me to take a tour around the city next morning. The manager just told me to say anything that I could think about the city. My first tour is terrible. The old bus was not air-conditioned, because it was the middle of summer. It was uncomfortable inside the bus. The tourist soon became very hot and angry. I owned a very hard time. I stayed there for a few weeks, and then left and joined in a better company.

Global Shortage of Fresh Water
Many people believe that the world's supply of fresh water will never be used up .They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use .Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.
As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore ,with the rapid growth of the world's population ,the rising demand for water by industry ,and the serious pollution of our surroundings ,the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water .Actually ,in some big cities ,fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.
Therefore ,to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First ,we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second ,scientists must work even harder to purify sea water and polluted water ,and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项。
A
Finland is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious(神秘) of the countries of northern Europe. Two-thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests and among them lie lakes, connected with rivers and canals. The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle, where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer for transport, clothing and food.
Then Finish history began in the Middle Ages. In about 1155, Finland was conquered by its western neighbouring Sweden. After a period of rule by Denmark in the 14th century, the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king. During the Napoleonic Wars(1814-1818) Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia. The opportunity came in 1917, when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end. Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany, 1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.
The years between the First and Second World War were years of progress and growing development. Finland has no coal or oil, and the nation's wealth lies in the timber(木材) from its forests, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and it the electric power from its water.

A. lies inside the Arctic Circle
B. is next to the countries of northern Europe

Mauritius, an island country, lies 1, 200 miles off the southeastern coast of Africa, and just east of Madagascar, another African island country, which is larger by far than Mauritius. It covers 788 square miles and has a population of 1, 100, 000, about 750, 000 Indians, 300, 000 Clioers, 30, 000 Chinese and 20, 000 Whites included. They are living together peacefully.
The country can be divided into many parts with different climates all because of its peculiar terrains（地形）. In the center there are volcanoes several thousand feet high, and 90 percent of its arable land is covered with sugarcane.
There were no people living on the island before the Dutch landed on it in 1638. The Dutch abandoned it in 1710, and five years later, the French came and succeeded in planting sugarcane there. It was conquered by Britain in 1810.
Mauritius was extremely poor when it declared its independence in 1968. In the past ten years, obvious economic prosperity（繁荣）has shown itself in this island country.

The USA is a land of immigrants. Between 1815 and 1914, the world saw the great peaceful migration in its history: 35 million people, mostly Europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in America. Why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?
First, one major cause of the departure among European peasants was the rise in population which in turn led to hunger. Another was politics. Many young men fled eastern Europe to avoid being forced to join the army.
Physical hunger provided another pressing reason. Following the failure of the economy of southern Italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to make a new start in America.
Religion also encouraged millions to leave the Old World.
In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. As a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born Americans.
But what were the attractions? First of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in Europe. Next, factories were calling out for labour, and pay and conditions were much better than back home. Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and settlers were needed to populate new towns and develop commerce. There was the space for religious communities to practice their faith in peace.
As we know, there were losers. To start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour. Nor should we forget the equally awful fate of the American Indians. By 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a only 488000 free blacks.
Nowadays, the USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land. As always, it remains an attractive place to the ambitious and the energetic who are ready to commit themselves to the land that gives them a second chance.
67. What is not given as a reason for emigration in the passage?
A. The search for religious freedom. B. The search for adventure.
C. Avoidance of military(军事的) service. D. Economics.
68. The lives of 19th Century European peasants were difficult because ______ .
A. there was no shortage of land B. there was no peace
C. the population had gone down D. there were too many of them
69. Which of the following can best summarize the whole passage?
A. The USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land.
B. The USA is a land of immigrants.
C. Religion encouraged millions to leave the Old World.
D. About one-eighth of non-native born Americans live in the USA in 1890.
70. We know from the passage that ______ __.
A. All people coming to the New Land was successful.
B. All people came to the USA out of their willingness.
C. Some people were forced to be brought to the USA.
D. the story of the Native Americans was the saddest one.

London— A morning's train ride away, across the Channel, English kids about Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub.
Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.
In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival cities, London and Paris, in “A Tale of Two Cities. ” These days, it might be A Tale of One City.
Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English.
As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250, 000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.
“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive, ” said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.
Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I'll stay in London. ” She said.
There is, of course, the other view, Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more Paris, ” she said.
In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.
“Both cities have changed beyond recognition. ” Said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.
Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.
“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place, ” Collins said.
“but if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better. ”
But certainly not cheaper.
In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.
Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.
Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose.
“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a center, but life is so structured, ” she said. “ In London, you can be who you want. No one cares. ”
71. The best title for this passage is _____.
A. Londoner and Parisians. B. A modern Tale of Two Cities.
C. The Similarity of Two cities. D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris.
72. We can infer from the text ____.
A. Paris and London has become perfect partners.
B. London feels more full of life.
C. life in Paris is structured.
D. Paris and London have become fierce competitors.
73. The underlined word “flocked” probably means ____.
A. came in large numbers. B. flew a long way.
C. rushed hurriedly. D. drove long distance.
74. Living in Paris, you may find ___.
A. life is better. B. things are cheaper.
C. more attractive people D. a job easily.
75. From the passage we can know ___.
A. the two cities have developed very fast.
B. London is better than in Paris.
C. Paris is a favorite place for all journalism students.
D. people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life.
