Passage 1
If you are like most
people, your intelligence varies from season to
season. You are probably a lot sharper in the
spring than
you are at any other time
of
the year. A noted
scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1974),
concluded from ot
her men‘s work and
his own among peoples in different
climates that climate and temperature have a
definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather
is much more favorable for creative thinking than
is summer heat. This does not mean that all
people are less intelligent in the
summer than they are during the rest of the year.
It does mean, however, that the mental abilities
of
large numbers of people tend to be
lowest in the summer.
Spring
appears
to
be
the best
period
of
the
year
for
th
inking. One
reason
may
be
that
in
spring
man‘s
mental
abilities
are
affected by the same factors that bring
about great changes in all nature. Fall is the
next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it
seems to be good time to take a long
vaction from thinking!
1.
According to this passage, your
intelligence probably _________.
A.
stays the same
throughout the year
B.
varies from day to day
C.
changes with
the seasons

changes from year to year
2.
Huntington
based his conclusions on __________.
A.
records of
changes in his own intelligence
B.
work with
peoples in different climates
C.
records of
temperature changes
D.
all of the above
3.
It seems that
the cold of winter _________.
A.
increases the
ability to think
B.
is the best time for thinking
C.
is better for
thinking than is very warm weather
D.
decreases the
ability to think
4.
One possible reason why spring is the
best season for thinking is that _____.
A.
all nature,
including man, is growing then
B.
it lasts
longer than the other seasons
C.
it is not too
warm and not too cold
14
D.
both B and C
5.

spring and fall
B.

Passage 2
Why
don‘t birds get lost on their long flights from
one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over
this question for many
year
s. Now they‘re beginning
to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago, experiments showed that
birds rely on the sun to guide them during
daylight hours. But what about birds that fly
by night? Tests with artificial stars
have proved that certain night-flying birds are
able to follow the stars in their long-distance
flights.
A dove
had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never
flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn
ability to use the stars
for guidance.
The bird‘s cage was placed under an artificial
s
tar-filled sky. The bird tried to fly
in the same direction as that taken
by
his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of
the artificial stars caused a change in the
direction of his flight.
But the stars are apparently their
principal means of navigation only. When the stars
are hidden by clouds, they seemingly find
their way by such landmarks as mountain
ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when
it‘s too dark to see these, the dove
s
circle
helplessly, unable to find their
way.
1.
The
reason why
birds don‘t get lost on long
flights ________.
A.
have been
known to scientists for years
B.
have only
recently been discovered

are known by everyone

will probably
remain a mystery
2.
During daylight hours, birds
__________.
A.
wheel back and forth for nothing
B.
do not fly
long distances
C.
use sun for guidance
D.
are quite
likely to get lost
3.
By ―his outdoor cousins‖ the author
means _________.
A.
other
experimenters
B.
the other doves of the same brood (n.
窝
)
C.
doves under the natural sky
D.
other birds in
general
4.
The
experiment with the dove indicated that
__________.
A.
birds have to be taught to navigate
B.
a bird that
has been caged will not fly long distances
C.
some birds
cannot fly at night
D.
some birds seem to follow the stars
when they fly at night
5.

A.
use landmarks
to find their way
B.
don‘t know which way to fly
C.

Passage 3
Parents have to do much less for their
children today than they used to do, and home has
become much less of a workshop.
Clothes
can be bought ready made, washing can go to the
laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or
preserved, bread is baked
and delivered
by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals
can be had at the restaurant, the works‘ canteen,
and the sch

dining room.
It is unusual now for father to
continue his trade or other employment at home,
and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his
place of work. Boys are therefore
seldom trained to follow their father‘s
occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly
wi
de
choice of employment
and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns
good money, and soon acquires a feeling of
economic
independence. In textile areas
it has long been customary for mothers to go out
to work, but this practice has become so
widespread
that the working mother is
now a not unusual factor in a child‘s home life,
the number of married women in employment having
more than doubled in the last twenty-
five years. With mother earning and his older
children drawing substantial wages, father is
seldom the dominant
(
支配的
) figure that he still
was at the beginning of the century. When mother
works, economic advantages
increase,
but children lose something of great value if
mother‘s employment prevents her from being home
to greet them when t
hey
return from school.
1.
The writer
compares home to a workshop because _________.
A.
fathers often
pursue employment at home
B.
parents have to make food and necessity
C.
many families
produce goods at home for sale
D.
both fathers
and mothers in most families are workers
2.
The writer
says that home has become much less of a workshop.
He means _____________.
A.
in the past, home was more like a
workshop
B.
home
is much more of a workshop now
C.
home-workshops
are becoming fewer and fewer and fewer
D.
home was less
like a workshop in the past
3.
The chief
reason that boys are seldom trained to follow
their father‘s occupation is
__________.
A.
that children nowadays rarely see their
fathers at their place of work
B.
that fathers
do not like to pursue employment at home any more
C.
that there is
a wide choice of employment for children
D.
that children
also like to have jobs outside
4.
What makes
father no longer be the only dominant person in a
family?
A.
With
their earning, mother and children do not need to
depend on father for their life.
B.
There are many
choices of employment for mothers and children.
C.
Father does
much less for his children today than he used to.
D.
The number of
married women in employment has increased greatly
now.
5.
It is
implied in this passage that ___________.
A.
mothers have
the practice to go to work
B.
working
mothers have no time to stay with their children
at home
C.
young
wage-earners are economically independent
D.
mother‘s
position in a family has been raised
Passage 4
Modern mass-production methods lower
the cost of making goods, and thus give us better
values. At the same time, American
ingenuity
(
独创性）
and science are
constantly at work improving the quality of
products. In this way, better quality products at
good values are continually being
brought to the people of all income groups.
As an example how this
works, when facial tissuess
(
擦面用的薄纸
) were first put on
the market 1924, they were made in
limited quantities and sole at 65 cents
per box of 200. People like these facial tissues
immediately and began asking for them when
they went into different stores.
Because there was such a demand for the product,
manufacturers began making tissues in larger
quantities. Because the manufacturers
were making tissues in greater quantities, their
production costs were lowered, so that the
cost of tissues went
down.
In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues
was constantly improving, because more
manufcturers‘
went into business of
making tissues, and each manufacturer strove to
make his product better than his competitors.
Today instead
of costing 65 cents, a
box of 200 facial tissues costs around one-third
of that price, and they are both softer and
stronger.
When people are
free to compete-when they are free to make more
things and make them better-everyone benefits.
1.
In regard to
the production of goods in greater quantities, the
author states that the ___________.
16
A.
price of the goods should drop
B.
price of the
goods should rise
C.
quality and price should both rise
D.
quality should
rise and the price should drop
2.
When the
demand for facial tissues increased, the supply
was ________.
A.
quickly exhaused
B.
rationed to
the consumers
C.
unchanged
D.
increased to keep up with the demand
3.
When
manufactruers of facial tissues discovered how to
produce tissues for less money, they reduced the
__________.
A.
quality so as to earn even greater
profits
B.
profits they anticipated from sales
C.
price a
consumer must pay for their product
D.
standards of
the entire industry
4.
From this article, we can see that
lower prices and improved quality occur ________.
A.
as a result of
the effect of one on the other
B.
always at the
same time
C.
independently of each other
D. through the kindness of
manufacturers
5.
The author believes that in a nation
where free enterprise exists, manufacturers will
produce _________.
A.
as much as they like
B.
better quality
goods
C.
more
than they are able to sell
D.
both A and B.
Passage 5
When an art museum wants a new exhibit,
it buys things in finished form and hangs them on
its walls. When a natural history
museum wants an exhibit, it often must
build it realistically
—
from
a mass of material and evidence brought together
by careful
research.
An animal, for example, must first be
skinned. Photographs and measurements are used to
determine the animal‘s structure in
a
natural position
—
fighting,
resting, or feeding. Then muscles forms are built
and a plaster shell is made. Finally the skin is
pulled
over the shell like a wet glove.
This completes the animal subject.
Displaying such things as stone heads,
giant trees and meteorites
（陨石）
is basically
mechanical. Most other natural history
exhibits present more difficult
problems. For instance, how can a creature be
exhibited when it is too small to be seen clearly?
In
these
cases,
larger-than-life
models
are
built.
The
American
Museum
of
Natural
History
has
models
of
fleas,
houseflies,
and
numberous
other
insects
enlarged
up
to
seventy-
four
times.
The
models
show
the
stages
of
the
insects‘
development
and
the
working of their bodies.
1.
Natural
history exhibits differ from art exhibits in that
they __________.
A.
are never borrowed
B.
are not
displayed to the public
C.
often must be constructed
D.
do not require
research
2.
The
last step in constructing and animal exhibit is
_________.
A.
building muscle forms
B.
making a
plaster shell

Passage 6
What
is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we
know is untrue? Or is it something more than that?
For example, suppose
a friend wants to
borrow some money from you, you say: ?I wish I
could help you but I‘m short of money myself.‘ In
fact, you are
not short of money but
your friend is in the habit of not paying his
debts and you don‘t want to hurt his feelings by
remindi
ng him
of this. Is
this really a lie?
A
scientific
study
of
lying
shows
women
are
better
liars
than
men,
particularly
when
telling
a
?white
lie‘,
such
as
when
a
woman at a
party tells another woman that she likes her dress
when she really thinks it looks terrible. However,
this is only one side
of the story.
Other researches show that men are more likely to
tell more serious lies, such as making a promise
which they have no
intention of
fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians
and businessmen are supposed to be particularly
skilled at: the
lie from
which the liar hopes to profit or gain
in some way.
Research has
also been done into the way people‘s behavior
changes in a number of small, apparently
unimportant ways when
they lie. It has
been found that if they are sitting down at the
same time, they tend to move about in their chairs
more than usual. To
the trained
observer they are saying ?I wish I were somewhere
else now.‘
