阅读理解     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 Intelligence2. 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 intelligence3. According to the passage, the average I. Q.is________.A. 85       
B. 100       
C. 110     
D. 1254. 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 brain5. 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

阅读理解     The neglected baby is crying alone.The young man, suffering from a lack of sleep, threatens with
suicide (自***). The marriage fails because of the husband"s obsessive (沉迷的) behaviour.
      Is this just another story of social breakdown in the modern age?Not really.But they are the effects
of a real social problem--Internet Addiction (上瘾). Or, Internet Addiction disorder.
     There have been few long-term studies of this very 21st century illness.
     But the extension of the obsession is obvious from the popularity of one game alone:"Halo 2". It"s a
first-person shooter developed by Budgie Studios for the Xbox video game console.By early 2005,1
million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game.
     China has about 94 million regular Internet users.Of these, a survey suggested,4.4 million are
teenagers so addicted to it that they neglect everything else.
     Video gamers who have gone too far display symptoms similar to those of alcohol and drug abusers.
"The real world meant nothing to me when I was fully involved with online games.I lost track of time,
space, hunger, pain, everything, " explained Liu Pinyi, a 19-year-old college dropout.She has had
treatment in Beijing for her addiction.
     What makes it similar to drugs is that online game addicts also develop a chemical imbalance in the
brain.Gaming stimulates (刺激) the production of a chemical compound that produces euphoric or
pleasant feelings.When they"re away from the screen, their levels of chemicals produce this" high" drop.
And the addict suffers feelings of anxiety and headaches.
     Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are thrust right into the
centre of the action.This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can
often suffer from.
     But, addiction is not the only problem.A Harvard University survey of 81 video games in 2004 found
that 98 percent contained violence for 36 percent of the total playing time.
     China strengthened controls on computer games again this week, with the Ministry of Culture banning
nine online games.The ministry said it would also force game operators to technically filter out content that could cause addiction.1. By the first paragraph, the author means to________.A. warn some Internet users of their problems
B. show how serious the problems are if we use the Internet too much
C. direct the readers to the topic of the passage
D. show his worries about the problems in the modern age2. The example of "Halo 2" is given to show________.A. how popular online games are
B. online games are really harmful
C. game players are worldwide
D. game players are easy to be obsessive3. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Web Produces Addict Disorder
B. Web Brings About Serious Social Problems
C. The Internet and Its Disadvantages
D. Online Games and Their Harm4. Experts think that young people are attracted to video games because they________.A. forget everything else
B. lack of confidence in reality
C. have no other interests
D. want to avoid the real world5. The underlined phrase"filter out"in the last paragraph probably means________.A. clear away            
B. cover up
C. reduce                  
D. control

完形填空。      For many people today,reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must
read letters,reports,trade publications,interoffice communications,not to mention newspapers
and magazines;a never-ending flood of words.In  1 a job or advancing in one,the ability to
read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate
fact is that most of us are 3 readers.Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age,and never
get over them.The main deficiency(缺陷)5 in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken
individually,words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrases,sentences and
paragraphs.7 however,the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He laboriously reads
one word at a time,often regressing to 8 words or passages.Regression,the tendency to look back
over 9 you have just read,is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which 10 down the
speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads.
     To overcome these bad habits,some reading clinics use a device called an 12,which moves a
bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the
reader finds comfortable,in order to "stretch" him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,14
word-by-word reading,regression and subvocalization,practically impossible.At first 15 is sacrificed
for speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts you will not only read faster,16 your
comprehension will improve.Many people have found 17 reading skill greatly improved after some
training.18 Chalice Au,a business manager,for instance,his reading rate was a reasonably good 172

阅读理解。     By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular
concentrated work.This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan
and have no regular routine of study.Many students muddle along(无计划地进行),
doing a bit of this subject or that,as the mood takes them,or letting their set work pile
up until the last possible moment.
     Few students work to a set timetable.They say that if they did work out a timetable
for themselves they would not keep to it,or would have to change it frequently,since they
can never predict(foresee)from one day to the next what their activities will be.
     No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others.There
are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable,and dislike being tied
down to a fixed program of work.Many able students state that they work in cycles.When
they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time.
On other days they avoid work completely.It has to be admitted that we do not fully
understand the motivation to work.Most people over 25 years of age have become used
to a work routine,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for
the more important areas of their work.The "tough-minded" school of workers doesn"t fully
accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally,under the influence of inspiration.
     Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken
belief either in their own talent or in the value of "freedom".Freedom from control and discipline
(纪律)leads to unhappiness rather than to "self-expression" or "personality development".Our
society insists on regular habits,timekeeping and punctuality,and whether we like it or not,if we
mean to make our way in society,we have to meet its demands.1.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is _________.A.changing from one subject to another
B.the failure to keep to a set timetable of work
C.the unwillingness to follow a systematic plan
D.working on a subject only when one feels like it2.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.
B.Many students don"t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.
C.Most people over 25 years of age don"t work to set timetable.
D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.3.The underlined part "as the fit takes them" in Paragraph 4 means ________.A.when they have the energy
B.when they are in the mood
C.when they feel fit
D.when they find conditions suitable4.A suitable title for the passage might be _________.A.Attitudes to Study
B.A Study Plan
C.The Difficulties of Studying
D.Study and Self-discipline

     Not long ago, I opened an e-mail from Jennifer, a lady I knew through business in Guelph, Ontario,
Canada, "I have been seeing how I feel after interacting with different people and thinking who I feel good about,   1  "
     Then she invited me and eleven other women to a "Movie Night" to be held every six weeks at her
house. She promised we were sure to enjoy a good time.   2  She made it clear in her invitation that there was no pressure to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful!   3  I gratefully accepted her kind
invitation.
       4  Although all the women were eager to participate, some said they didn"t see themselves as
optimistic people. "I told them they didn"t have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them
because they made me feel happy," she says.
       5  In a US study, researchers measured the happiness of 4739 people at regular interval over 20
years. The study found that a person"s happiness depends on the happiness of people they connect with.

     John Steinbeck once said,"All Americans believe they are born fishermen.For a man to
 admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing(公开谴责)mother-love or hating
 moonlight."
     I can"t say that I"m the biggest John Steinbeck fan.Actually,the only thing I can remember 
reading by him was "The Pearl" when I was in middle school,but I couldn"t agree more with 
the man when it comes to fishing.Whether I am on a boat in the middle of Lay Lake,fishing 
off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon(大海鲢)or catching rainbow trout(虹鳟鱼)in
 the Shoshone River of Wyoming,fishing is my life.
     According to the American Sportsfishing Asso ciation,the fishing industry brings in more
 than $116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.
      Though a beautiful picture to imagine,fishing is much more than that.Fi shing is a way 
of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress.Being a fisherman makes me
 a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life.Even President 
Bush can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when 
the job gets too stressful.
      I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake
 Mitchell.Although I didn"t understand what I was doing,I did know that my grandfather was
 happy and that made me happy.Since then I have spent the past 16 years on the rivers and
 lakes of Alabama.
     After years of practice,before and after work,I slowly developed an understanding of 
fishing.My boss,Ric Horst,took me back to the Shoshone,and I managed to bring in a 
19-inch cutthroat trout.Fishing with Ric was a life-changing experience for me.He not only 
showed me how to fish correctly,but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape 
your problems.
      Since then,prime-time(黄金时间)season seems to take forever to arrive.
      Now,with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight,the excitement of 
heading out to Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something 
has finally returned. 


1.What John Steinbeck said in the first paragraph implies(暗示)that ______. A.Americans are believed to be the descendants of fishermen
B.it is unthinkable for an American to admit his dislike of fishing
C.all Americans are expert at fishing
D.those who dislike fishing would not love their mothers 2.The writer came to understand the real meaning of fishing ______. A.when he was reading "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck
B.when he went fishing with his grandfather at Lake Mitchell
C.after he had spent 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama
D.after he went fishing with his boss,Ric Horst on the Shoshone 3.What can be inferred from the text?_______.A.The author is at most 21 years old.
B.The author regards fishing as a very important part in his life.
C.The author agreed with John Steinbeck the most when he was in middle school.
D.President Bush often goes fishing in public in order to collect ideas for his job. 4.What is the purpose of the writing? A.To describe the writer"s experience and understanding of fishing.
B.To explain the reason why so many Americans like fishing.
C.To make others understand the industry of fishing.
D.To express his opinion about fishing in different time of the year.
