銆€?銆�?   Read the following four passages and answer the questions after each passage. (20%锛� 2 points for each question)

銆€銆€Passage One

銆€銆€Intelligence tests have been involved in the promotion of eugenics, the idea that you could control the human race by selective breeding. Francis Galton---one of the pioneers of intelligence tests-was also a founding member of the Eugenics Society in the UK. The belief that intelligence is biologically determined in the make-up of the brain, and therefore to some extent genetically determined, is widely accepted. But a number of researchers over the years have used this idea to advocate social change. Using intelligence as one of their factors, Hernstein and Murray鈥檚 controversial book, The Bell Curve(1994) argued that differences in IQ scored between racial groups reflect innate biological differences銆�

銆€銆€The Bell Curve is a graph that plots the range of IQ scores of an average population. However, it can be interpreted in many ways, and when the intelligence of the whole human race is in question, the stakes are high. Critics argue that the way intelligence is measured contains a high level of random variation and therefore it鈥檚 impossible to generalize it all into one graph. However, belief in the Bell Curve and in the genetic, rather than social, basis for intelligence has unfortunately led to the propagation of many racist ideas. Evidence to suggest social factors are important in 鈥� intelligence鈥� is strong. The US military tested recruits to assign rank and found that black applicants scored lower than whites. However, analysis of the recruits were found to be due to educational differences; black recruits scored very low until the 1950s, when an increase in score corresponded to improved educational standards for all銆�

銆€銆€In spring 1998, Robert Plomin claimed to have discovered a gene linked with intelligence. More recently, the Human Genome Project is cautious when approaching areas implying racial differences since research actually shows greater genetic differences within races than between races. However, not all individuals are endowed with the same intelligence and many believe this must have something to do with our genes and the way they interact with the environment. Identical twins are more likely to obtain the same score in an IQ test than twins from two separate eggs that have a different genetic make up銆�

銆€銆€It is important to remember that genes work by interacting with the environment, so social factors will also influence intelligence. Intelligence tests may be more of an assessment of social factors, such as your educational background. Black children adopted into white middle class families score significantly higher on average than those in working class families-implying a cultural slant to tests. It is impossible to devise questions without some cultural of gender bias; boys tend to do better in spatial tests whereas are believed to have influenced improved IQ scores across the board. Good nutrition means an individual is able to function well both physically and mentally. Although many believe this plays a role in intelligence, it is very difficult to assess銆�

銆€銆€What is the text mainly about?

銆€銆€A. The book of The Bell Curve            

銆€銆€B. Factors that determine or influence intelligence

銆€銆€C. IQ intelligence tests

銆€銆€D. Racial difference and racialism

銆€銆€2. According to paragraph 1, it is widely believed that ________ 銆�

銆€銆€A. the human race would be control through different ways of upbringing銆�

銆€銆€B. intelligence is closely related to genes in some degree銆�

銆€銆€C. biological differences contribute a lot to different IQ scores between races銆�

銆€銆€D. eugenics employ IQ tests to promote eugenics銆�

銆€銆€3. The graph in the book of Bell Curve _______銆�

銆€銆€A. introduce genetic factors as well as social ones in intelligence

銆€銆€B. is criticized by critics as unscientific and incomprehensive

銆€銆€C. is obviously meant to advocate racist ideas

銆€銆€D. strong evidence used by US military in analyzing recruits

銆€銆€4. Which of the following is untrue according to the text?

銆€銆€A. Racists employ the idea of genetic determination in intelligence to propagate racialism銆�

銆€銆€B. According to the US military analysis, differences in IQ tests scores are caused by genetic factors銆�

銆€銆€C. Blacks may be more genetically different between themselves than compared with whites銆�

銆€銆€D. It is believed by many people that intelligence is related to our genes and their interaction with social factors銆�

銆€銆€5. According to the author, intelligence tests ________ 銆�

銆€銆€A. can always be impartial

銆€銆€B. evaluate more of the genetic influence rather than social factors

銆€銆€C. may be designed with cultural or gender bias

銆€銆€D. reflect that good nutrition influences intelligence銆�

銆€銆€Passage Two

銆€銆€Climatic conditions are delicately adjusted to the composition of the Earth鈥檚 atmosphere. If there were a change in the atmosphere ----- for example, in the relative proportions of atmospheric gases ----- the climate would probably changed also. A slight increase in water vapor, for instance , would increase the heat ------ retaining capacity of the atmosphere and would lead to a rise in global temperatures. In contrast, a large increase in water vapor would increase the thickness and extent of the cloud layer, reducing the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth鈥檚 surface銆�

銆€銆€The level of carbon dioxide, CO2 , in the atmosphere has an important effect on climatic change. Most of the Earth鈥檚 incoming energy is short-wavelength radiation, which tends to pass through atmospheric CO2 easily. The Earth, however, reradiates much of the received energy as long-wavelength radiation, which CO2 absorbs and then remits toward the Earth. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, can result in an increase in the surface temperature of a planet. An extreme example of the effect is shown by Venus, a planet covered by heavy clouds composed mostly of CO2 whose surface temperatures have been measured at 430鈩�. If the CO2 content of the atmosphere is reduced, the temperature falls. According to one respectable theory, if the atmospheric CO2 concentration were halved, the Earth would become completely covered with ice. Another equally respectable theory, however, states that a halving of the CO2 concentration would lead only to a reduction in global temperatures of 3鈩�銆�

銆€銆€If, because of an increase in forest fires or volcanic activity, the CO2 content of the atmosphere increased. A warmer climate would be produced. Plant growth, which relies on both the warmth and the availability of CO2 would probably increase. As a consequence, plants would use more and more CO2 . Eventually CO2 levels would diminish and the climate, in turn, would become cooler. With reduced temperatures many plants would die; CO2 would thereby be returned to the atmosphere and gradually the temperature would rise again. Thus, if this process occurred there might be a long-term oscillation in the amount of CO2 present in the atmosphere, with regular temperature in creases and decreases of a set magnitude銆�

銆€銆€Some climatologists argue that the burning of fossil fuels has raised the level of CO2 in the atmosphere and has caused a global temperature increase of at least 1鈩�.But a supposed global temperature rise of 1鈩� may in reality be only several regional temperature increases restricted to areas where there are many meteorological stations and caused simply by shifts in the pattern of atmospheric circulation. Other areas for example the Southern Hemisphere oceanic zone may be experiencing an equivalent temperature decrease that is unrecognized because of the shortage of meteorological recording stations銆�

銆€銆€6. The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions?

銆€銆€Why are projections of the effects of changes in water vapor levels on the climate so    inaccurate?

銆€銆€What are the steps in the process that takes place as CO2 absorbs long-wavelength radiation?

銆€銆€How might our understanding of the green house effect be improved if the burning of fossil fuels were decreased?

銆€銆€D. What might cause a series of regular increases and decreases in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere?

銆€銆€7. The author is primarily concerned with

銆€銆€A. explaining the effects that the burning of fossil fuels might have on climate

銆€銆€B. illustrating the effects of CO2 on atmospheric radiation

銆€銆€C. discussing effects that changes in the CO2 level in the atmosphere might have on climate

銆€銆€D. challenging hypotheses about the effects of water vapor and CO2 on climate

銆€銆€8. The passage suggests that a large decrease in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would result in

銆€銆€A. at least a slight decrease in global temperatures

銆€銆€B. at the most a slight increase in short-wavelength radiation reaching the Earth

銆€銆€C. a slight long-term increase in global temperatures

銆€銆€D. a large long-term increase in the amount of volcanic activity

銆€銆€9. The author refers to Venus primarily in order to

銆€銆€A. show the inherent weakness of the greenhouse effect theory

銆€銆€B. show that the greenhouse effect works on other planets but not on Earth

銆€銆€C. show the extent to which Earth鈥檚 atmosphere differs from that of Venus

銆€銆€D. support the argument that the CO2 level in the atmosphere has a significant effect on climate

銆€銆€10. The passage suggests that if there were a slight global warming at the present time, it would be

銆€銆€A. easy to measure the exact increase in temperature because of the abundance of temperature recording stations throughout the world

銆€銆€B. difficult to measure the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere because of local variations in amounts

銆€銆€C. easy to demonstrate the effects of the warming on the water vapor in the atmosphere

銆€銆€D. difficult to prove that the warming was caused by the burning of fossil fuels

銆€銆€11. The discussion of climate in the passage suggests which of the following conclusions?

銆€?銆�? Climate is not perfectly stable, and slight regional temperature variations can be considered a normal feature of the environment銆�

銆€?銆�? We are unable at present to measure global temperature changes precisely

銆€銆€鈪�. The most important cause of regional climatic fluctuations is the change in CO2 levels in the atmosphere銆�

銆€銆€A. 鈪爋nly               

銆€銆€B. 鈪�. Only   

銆€銆€C. 鈪燼nd鈪� only  

銆€銆€D. 鈪nd 鈪�.only

銆€銆€12.  All of the following can be found in the author鈥檚 discussion of climate Except

銆€銆€A. a statement about the effects of increased volcanic activity on the Earth鈥檚 temperatures

銆€銆€B. an indication of the effect of an increase in water vapor in the atmosphere

銆€銆€C. a contrast between two theories about the effects of a lowering of CO2 levels in the atmosphere

銆€銆€D. a generalization of about the efficiency of meteorological recording stations

銆€銆€Passage Three

銆€銆€Americans are probably the most pain-conscious people on the fact of the earth. For years we have had it drummed into us-in print, on radio, over television, in everyday conversation-that any hint of pain is to be banished as though it were the ultimate evil. As a result we are becoming a nation of pill-grabbers, escalating the slightest ache into a searing ordeal銆�

銆€銆€We know very little-about pain and what we don't know makes it hurt all the more. Indeed, no form of illiteracy in the United States is so widespread or costly as ignorance about pain-what it is, what causes it, how to deal with it without panic. Almost everyone can rattle off the names of at least a dozen drugs that can deaden pain from every conceivable cause, there is far less knowledge about the fact that about 90 percent of pain is self-limiting, that it is not always an indication of poor health, and that, most frequently, it is the result of tension, stress, worry, idleness, boredom, frustration, suppressed rage, insufficient sleep, overeating, poorly balanced diet, smoking, excessive drinking, inadequate exercise, stale air, or any of the other abuses encountered by the human body in modern society銆�

銆€銆€The most ignored fact of all about pain is that the best way to eliminate it is to eliminate the abuse: Instead, many people reach almost instinctively for the painkillers-aspirins, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and dozens of other analgesic drugs. Most doctors are profoundly troubled over the extent to which the medical profession today is taking on the trappings of a pain-killing industry. Their offices are overloaded with people who are morbidly but mistakenly convinced that something dreadful is about to happen to them. It is all too evident that the campaign to get people to run to a doctor at the first sign of pain has boomeranged. Physicians find it difficult to give adequate attention to patients genuinely in need of expert diagnosis and treatment because their time is soaked up by people who have nothing wrong with them except a temporary indisposition or a psychogenic ache銆�

銆€銆€The king of all painkillers, of course, is aspirins. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration permits aspirin to be sold without prescription, but the drug, contrary to popular belief, can be dangerous and, on sustained doses, potentially lethal. Aspirin is self-administered by more people than any other drug in the world. Some people are aspirin-poppers, taking ten or more a-day. What they don't know is that the smallest dose can cause internal bleeding. Even more serious perhaps is the fact that aspirin is antagonistic to collagen, which has a key role in the formation of connective tissue. Since many forms of arthritis involve disintegration of the connective tissue, the steady use of aspirin can actually intensify the underlying arthritic condition銆�

銆€銆€Given a modicum of respect, people ought to know that nothing is more remarkable about the human body than its recuperative drive instead of addiction to painkiller, which is also what our government should do銆�

銆€銆€13. The underlined phrase escalating the slightest ache into a searing ordeal (line 4, paragraph) is most probably mentioned to denote that锛� 銆�

銆€銆€A.American people cannot endure even the tiniest ache because of the abuse of painkillers銆�

銆€銆€B. American people cannot undergo pain as if it is an ordeal銆�

銆€銆€C.American people have escalated their ability to endure every kind of pain銆�

銆€銆€D.American people have grabbed analgesic drugs of the whole nation銆�

銆€銆€14. According to the 2nd paragraph of the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

銆€銆€Illiteracy in the United States is widespread and causes a great deal of pain and hurt銆�

銆€銆€Even the most illiterate people can name a dozen of drugs that can restrain pain銆�

銆€銆€Sometimes pain is the result of many mental factors, such as tension, worry, stress, etc銆�

銆€銆€A person who cannot restrain pain by oneself is often regarded unhealthy銆�

銆€銆€15. Which of the following statement is true about America or American people?

銆€銆€A. Some American people take overdose of analgesic drugs and become drug addict銆�

銆€銆€B. American doctors are frustrated by the abuse of painkillers銆�

銆€銆€C. American physicians cannot give the patients correct diagnosis and treatment銆�

銆€銆€D.American people go to see doctors once there is a small hint of pain銆�

銆€銆€16. What does the author think about aspirin?

銆€銆€A.It cannot be bought unless one has the doctor's prescription銆�

銆€銆€B  It can be potentially lethal, but it doesn鈥瞭 hurt the body on sustained does銆�

銆€銆€C  It can cure arthritis besides killing pain銆�

銆€銆€D  It will probably lead to arthritis if it is frequently used銆�

銆€銆€17.  What is the author's attitude toward analgesic drug?

銆€銆€A. Negative. B. Positive. C.Critical     D. Prudential銆�

The image has grown so voracious that any child asked to sum up the century will instantly visualize Einstein鈥檚 hair and Hilter鈥檚 mustache, mushroom clouds and moon landings; this despite the fact that each of these visual moments has its aural correlative, from the blast over Hiroshima to the high-pitched staccato ravings of the Fiihrer, to Neil Armstrong鈥檚 static-ridden 鈥済iant leap for mankind鈥�銆�

銆€銆€Passage2

銆€銆€Meanwhile the wineglasses had flushed yellow and flushed crimson; had been emptied; had been filled. And thus by degrees was lit, halfway down the spine ,which is the seat of the soul, not that hard little electric light which we call brilliance, as it pops in and out upon our lips, but the more profound, subtle, and subterranean glow, which is the rich yellow flame of rational intercourse. No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself銆�

銆€銆€銆愬弮鑰冭鏂囥€�

銆€銆€People from Peiping often wonder why Shanghailanders should choose to live in such a lousy place. They say life here is so full of tension, the air so foul, and trees so scarce, and so on and so forth. I wonder if the apparent loss of moonlight might as well be listed among their reasons for staying away from this city. But I would think otherwise, for it doesn鈥檛 make sense to call enjoyment of moonlight one of the requisites of life. Open heart and wide vision do not necessarily come of watching the moon. The same can be achieved in self-cultivation, and that in a more practical way, by looking earthward instead of skyward. Nevertheless, I鈥檓 not opposed to watching the moon. I only mean it doesn鈥檛 matter at all if you see no moon銆�

銆€銆€Language, Literature and Life

銆€銆€No one in the world is luckier than I am, for I am a student of English language and literature. With this privilege, I am able to enjoy the beauty of language, wander in the world of literature, and have a deep understanding of life. The great influence they have exerted on me, in turn, helps me get a close and clear comprehension about the relationship among them銆�

銆€銆€First things first, I can not imagine what the human life would be without language. It is a design figure which distinguishes men from animals, promoting the development of human history and creating the modern civilization. Suppose we went back to the prehistoric age, in which no language was available, the basic communication would become a big problem, let alone talking about the creation of literature or the record of human history. Life, in this period, is just to survive or repeat the simple life circle, which is meaningless and have no difference from that of other creatures. In this sense, no language , no life, no civilization銆�

銆€銆€Secondly, just as language has left significant influence on the human history, so do the literature. Bible, Shakespeare and works of Greek and Roman, the three sources of language, have greatly enriched our language, enlightened our mind and dramatically changed our life. The Adam鈥檚 apple, Pandora鈥檚 box and tit for tat, the language in Bible; the famous characters Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Julia in Shakespeare鈥檚 masterpieces ; the legend of Helen and Achilles Heel in Greek鈥檚 works , all of them are familiar to us as the pulsation in our blood. Therefore, if there were no literature, our language would have been much poorer and our life more colorless and boring銆�

銆€銆€Also, life has provided fertile soil for the language and literature. On one hand, with the advance of society, new terms and idioms have entered our language, such as computer, avian flu, terrorist, long time no see, as rich as Bill Gates, SAS, HINI . By absorbing everything new, language can always be able to keep its pace with the time. On the other hand, life is an exhaustible magic box for literature creation. Fiction, poem, essay, prose or drama, all can be viewed as a recreation of real life in this way or another. Just as an American writer put it:鈥淎ll literature is a kind of reflection of life , a mirror of life銆傗€滺ow can one deny that the purely invented man, Hamlet, is not as vivid as Napoleon or Barack Obama. Once language and literature have lost its ability to accept new things in life, they would have become a pool of still water. Only constant moving can keep their freshness and vitality銆�

銆€銆€It is never too exaggerate to emphasis the close connections among the three. The benefit of language and literature to life is what necessary nutrition is to human beings. Life, in return, contributes a lot to prepare rich and colorful materials for language and literature. As for me, by learning language and literature, I have learnt much more of the logic of life and enjoy my life in the process of appreciating beauty銆�
