Part II Reading Comprehension(40%)

　　Directions : There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or un-finished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best oneand mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

　　Passage 1

　　The old idea that child prodigies(神童)"burn themselves" or "overtax their brains" in the ear-ly years, therefore, are prey to failure and (at worst)mental illness is just a myth. As a matter of fact,the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very likely to grow intobright adults.

　　To find this out,1,500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with these re-suits.

　　On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they did as children. They were, as a group,in good health, physically and mentally. Eighty-four percent of their group were married and seemedcontent with their life.

　　About 70 percent had graduated from colleges, though only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had even flunked out (退學) , but nearly half of these had returned to graduate.

　　of the men,80 percent were in one of the professions or in business, managers or semi-profes-sional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or professional oceupatians.The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary maga-zines and had collected more than 100 patents(專利權).

　　In a material way they didn't do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among thegifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youthwhen last surveyed.

　　In fact, far from being strange, maladjusted(難以適應) people locked in an ivory tower, most of the gifted were turning their early promises into practical reality.

　　16. The statement that child prodigies" burn themselves" or"overtax their brains" are prey to failure is_________.

　　A. exactly reasonable

　　B. doubted by the author

　　C. an idea of old men

　　C. Most of the bright children became white collars.

　　D. Bright men got higher income than bright women.

　　18. The adult intelligence tests showed that_________.

　　A. bright children do not become bright adults

　　B. between childhood and adulthood there is a considerable loss of intelligence

　　C. bright children were mostly also bright adults

　　D. as adults the gifted make much lower scores on intelligence tests

　　19. The underlined part " turning their early promises into practical reality" most probably means_________.

　　A. earning their living and keeping promises

　　B. realizing what they were expected

　　C. doing what they have promised

　　D. doing practical jobs and facing reality

　　20. The main idea of the passage is_________.

　　A. that gifted children were most likely to become bright grown-ups

　　B. that bright children were unlikely to be physically and mentally healthy

　　C. how many gifted children turned successful when they grew up

　　D. that when the bright children grew up, they would become ordinary

　　Passage 2

　　It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth ( 收費站 ). "I'mpaying for myself, and for the six cars behind me," she said with a smile, handing over seven tick-ets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, "Some lady upahead already paid your fare.

　　It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator:"Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. " The phrase impressed her so much that shecopied it down.

　　Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayedon her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. "I thought it was beau-tiful," she said, explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, "like a mes-sage from above. " Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroomwall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice putit in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn't know where it came from or what itreally meant.

　　Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restau-rant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind fordays.

　　"Here's the idea," Anne says. "Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly. "Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables inthe poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, "Kindness can buildon itself as much as violence can. "

　　The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!

　　21. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?

　　A. She knew the car drivers well.

　　B. She wanted to show kindness.

　　C. She hoped to please others.

　　B. Natalie Smith.

　　C. Alice Johnson.

　　D. Anne Herbert.

　　24. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?

　　A. Kindness and violence can change the world.

　　B. Kindness and violence can affect one's behavior.

　　C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.

　　D. Kindness and violence can shape one's character.

　　25. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

　　B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.

　　C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.

　　D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.

　　Passage 3

　　Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. There are not very manypeople who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people read only the sports pages, the advice orthe gossip columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people don't take thetime to read the real news. Newspaper editors say that their readers are lazy. They say they have totrick people into reading the news. They attempt to catch the reader's interest with pictures and excit-ing headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see whenyou pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through therest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headline to make themstop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps theywill go on to read the front page. However, they may just read the headlines, but that is all, then theytttrn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from anewspaper anymore. They say they get the news on the television now.

　　More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a news-paper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you think it is easier to get the newsfx~m television? Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there was no news?

　　Passage 4

　　Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Althoughwe were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed (緊抱的 )flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader andI could not do mental arithmetic.

　　Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of thehouse we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, thefarm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.

　　I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasmhas led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the mid-night oil, reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens thatbrings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to theriddle (迷), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers andbooks, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.

　　But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do notmake a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality Ilack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best ofborn worlds.

Part I Dialogue Completion

　　1.D 【解析】父親叫兒子去商店買東西，兒子表示樂意去買。A、C的回答答非所問;B的回答也不切合問題，因此只有D是正確答案。

　　2.A 【解析】A的Mary對Susan會做刺繡表示驚奇與意外，這與Susan的回答“我并不常做，只是在特殊場合才做”語義相關。其他選項與本內容都不相關。

　　3.D【解析】雖然對話的前者實際上是提出請求，應答者依然要把它作為問題來回答。如果表示介意就要用肯定回答，不分意就用否定來表示。

　　4.C 【解析】當正在一個陌生場合介紹自己時，對話的另一方就應該用客氣的語言表示問候。A的回答唐突無禮;B的回答是用于熟人之間;D的回答是在對話結束時的習慣說法，以上三種均不合此種場合。

　　5.D 【解析】本題空當在句首，填起來比較困難。碰到這種情況，應設法統(tǒng)觀全局。 Student一開始就說：“about missing some classes?”咨詢人說的The big deal is that you’re here on a student visa.應是接學生說的一句中的What’S the big deal說出的。這就是語法學中所講述的“前后照應”原則的體現(xiàn)。

　　6.B【解析】Visitor問去銀行怎么走法?警察告訴他：“……，穿過馬路左拐。再走100米，銀行就在左邊。”選項A，Continue you walkin9語法有問題。選項C，Go along(朝前走)和 D，Go on walking(繼續(xù)走)均無方向感。故只有B，Keep going straight(一直往前走)正確。

　　7.B【解析】說話者A對說話者B謊：“我上星期二把腳踝給崴了。我得拄拐杖走6個星期。”聽到這個壞消息，說話者B的回答應當表示惋惜。故應選B。

　　8.A 【解析】說話者A對說話者B說：“生物學研討會將于8月21日開始。”說話者B答道：“可終于定下來了。”后面的補充應是把開研討會的事定下來不容易，“我還以為還得幾天才能定下來呢。”故A對。

　　9.D 【解析】四個答案里只有paper才是可以寫了又修改且可以完成的東西。

　　10.A【解析】當不相信某人的話時，我們習慣常說“你開玩笑”，英文的習慣說法就是You’re kiddin9 1

　　11.B 【解析】這是打電話的常用套語。應該報出接電話人的名字。這里的speakin9意思是“我就是。請講。”其他選項均不合這種場合。

　　17.C【解析】細節(jié)推理題。(根據(jù)短文，下列哪項是正確的?)選項A(每位天才至少發(fā)表過一篇文章)支持不充分，根據(jù)文章第五段“The group had published 90 books and l，500 ar- ticles in scientific，scholarly，and literary magazines…”但未說每位都發(fā)表過;選項B(受調查人 當中只有一半取得了大學畢業(yè)文憑)與原文第三段“About 70 percent had graduated from col— leges”描述不符;選項D(聰明的男性比聰明的女性收入要高)在原文中并沒提及;而選項C (大多數(shù)神童長大后成為了白領階層中的一員)可以根據(jù)第四段“0f the men，80 percent were in one of the professions or in business，managers or semi-professional jobs.The women who had remained single had omces，business，or professional occupations.”推出，因為上述職業(yè)基本都屬 白領階層，所以正確答案為C。

　　58.B【解析】本題考查句子結構以及worth和worthwhile的區(qū)別。it在本句中是形式賓語，worthwhile是賓語補足語。 worth一般不單獨使用，往往構成“worth 4-錢”或“worth d0— in9”的結構中，表示“值……錢”或“某事值得被做”，因此在本句中不合適。worthy在“worthy to d0”或“worthy of sth./doing sth.”的結構中表示“值得做的”，做定語修飾名詞時表示“可敬的，相稱的”，所以也不符合題意。只有worthwhile“值得做的，值得出力的”在 語法和含義上都符合。句意：他們覺得為可能遇到的最壞情況做準備不值得。

　　67.B 【解析】本題考查動名詞的用法。介詞之后出現(xiàn)動詞，應將動詞改為“in9”形式，即動名詞形式。本題中由于強調“先讓你等”才“感覺抱歉”的，即存在動名 詞短語和謂語動詞之間的先后順序，所以要用動名詞的完成時。句意：讓你到達之后等了那么久，我們都感到很抱歉。

　　68.B【解析】本題考查獨立主格的用法。獨立主格的構成是“邏輯主語+分詞”，所以選B。句意：這所大學有四個系，每個系都有500多名學生。

　　A Survey on Choice of Courses and Universities

　　Recently,a survey was done to study Chinese high school graduates' opinions on how to choose courses and universities. The results are as follows:

　　About 35% of the graduates believe choices should be based on their own interest. They say interest is the mother of success. Besides, it is a miserable thing to have to spend most of the time studying what one has no interest in.

　　More students (around 4t5 % ), however, insist that their main consideration should be given to the needs of the society, for not everyone can find the job he likes best. What's more, interest can be born and changed.

　　Interestingly,about 20% of the graduates find it difficult to make a choice and would rather　depend on their parents or teachers for the decision.
