III Reading Comprehension: (20’)
(A)
What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists(心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are them more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children such as “ That was a very clever thing you did” or “ you are such a smart child/”
51. The words “ intelligent’ and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _____ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _______.
A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding
B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C. great and important; common
D. hopeful and helpful; careless
52. According to the context we can guess that a genius is _____ while an idiot is ____.
A. a normal person; a funny person
B. a strong person; a weak person
C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person
D. a famous person; an ordinary person
53. A person _____ is more likely to become a genius.
A. whose parents are clever
B. often thinking about difficult problems
C. often helped by his parents and teachers
D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use
54. It is better for parents____.
A. to praise and encourage their children more often
B. to be hard on their children
C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D. to give their children as much help as possible
55. Which of the following is Not true according to the article?
A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.
B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.
(B)
How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not todo things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expert others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If , however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
56. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that_____.
A. life for a child is comparatively easy.
B. a child is always loved whatever he does
C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D. only children are interested in life
57. After a child grows up, he _____.
A. will have little time playing
B. has to be successful in finding a job
C. can still ask for help in time of trouble
D. should be able to take care of himself
58. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People are often satisfied with their life.
B. Life is less interesting for old people
C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.
D. Adults should no longer rely on others.
59. The main idea of the passage is _____.
A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life
D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
60. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss ____.
A. examples of successful young men
B. how to build up one’s position in society
C. joys and pains of old people
D. what to do when one has problems in life
(C)
In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike.
Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed their feelings, like other kinds of art.
61. The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of _____.
A. his business
B. his house
C. his garden
D. his window
62. The Daguerro type was _____.
A. a Frenchman
B. a kind of picture
C.a kind of camera
D. a photographer
63. If a photographer wanted to take pictures of moving things in the year of 1840, he had to _____.
A. watch lots of films B. buy an expensive camera
C. stop in most cities D. take many films and something else with him
64. Mathew Brady_____.
A. was very lifelike B. was famous for his unusual pictures
C. was quite strong D. took many pictures of moving people
65. This passage tells us _______.
A. how photography was developed
B. how to show your ideas and feelings in pictures
C. how to take pictures in the world
D. how to use different cameras
（D）
Direction: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading, which you do not need.
A.
Reasons why science fiction are popular
B.
A recent new development in science fiction
C.
Writers of the classics of science fiction
D/
Difficulty in keeping ahead of scientific adventure
E.
The origin of science fiction
F.
Themes of modern science fiction
66.
Among the most popular books being written today are those, which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
67.
It is often thought that science is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme that is still often found in modern stories.
68.
Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books written by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just now well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.
69.
Most science fiction writers don’t write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human minds; or in imagining future worlds, which are a reflection of the world, which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones.
70.
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.

III Reading Comprehension: (20’)
(A)
What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists(心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are them more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children such as “ That was a very clever thing you did” or “ you are such a smart child/”
51. The words “ intelligent’ and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _____ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _______.
A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding
B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C. great and important; common
D. hopeful and helpful; careless
52. According to the context we can guess that a genius is _____ while an idiot is ____.
A. a normal person; a funny person
B. a strong person; a weak person
C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person
D. a famous person; an ordinary person
53. A person _____ is more likely to become a genius.
A. whose parents are clever
B. often thinking about difficult problems
C. often helped by his parents and teachers
D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use
54. It is better for parents____.
A. to praise and encourage their children more often
B. to be hard on their children
C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D. to give their children as much help as possible
55. Which of the following is Not true according to the article?
A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.
B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.
(B)
How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not todo things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expert others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If , however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
56. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that_____.
A. life for a child is comparatively easy.

A. will have little time playing
B. has to be successful in finding a job

(C)
In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike.
Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed their feelings, like other kinds of art.
61. The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of _____.
A. his business
B. his house
C. his garden
D. his window
62. The Daguerro type was _____.
A. a Frenchman
B. a kind of picture
C.a kind of camera
D. a photographer
63. If a photographer wanted to take pictures of moving things in the year of 1840, he had to _____.
A. watch lots of films B. buy an expensive camera
C. stop in most cities D. take many films and something else with him
64. Mathew Brady_____.
A. was very lifelike B. was famous for his unusual pictures
C. was quite strong D. took many pictures of moving people
65. This passage tells us _______.

Direction: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading, which you do not need.
A.
Reasons why science fiction are popular
B.
A recent new development in science fiction
C.
Writers of the classics of science fiction
D/
Difficulty in keeping ahead of scientific adventure
E.
The origin of science fiction
F.
Themes of modern science fiction
66.
Among the most popular books being written today are those, which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
67.
It is often thought that science is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme that is still often found in modern stories.
68.
Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books written by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just now well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.
69.
Most science fiction writers don’t write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human minds; or in imagining future worlds, which are a reflection of the world, which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones.
70.
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.
