　　There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence(个人智力).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 that second factor is what happens to the individual, the sort of environment in which lie is reared. If an individual is handicapped(制约) 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. 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(被隔离的) 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 (刺激) intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's IQ 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.

　　60. The best title for this passage is:________.

　　A. Measuring Your Intelligence

　　B. How Someone's Brain Has an Effect on His Intelligence

　　C. The Case of the Twins, Peter and Mark

　　D. Intelligence and Environment

　　61. The underlined sentence "The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins' means that________.

　　A. the environment one lives in has no effects on intelligence

　　B. one's intelligence can have an important effect on the environment

　　C. the good environment one lives in has a bad effect on intelligence

　　D. whether the environment one lives in is good or bad has an important effect on intelligence

　　62. The best statement of the main idea of the 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 more important in determining a person's intelligence

　　D. identical brains will have the same intelligence

　　63. According to the passage, the average IQ is ________.

　　A. 85 B. 100 C. 110 D. 125

　　64. This passage suggests that an individual's IQ________.

　　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

　　( C )

　　Some people try to protect their children from unpleasant realities like illness, financial loss and death. But therapists(治疗专家) point out that children can often end up feeling left out if they are old enough to understand what's going on, but are not told the truth about family worries.

　　One widowed father told me how deeply he regretted that he and his late wife did not tell their son that she was dying of leukemia (白血病)."For months we kept the truth to ourselves. We thought we were protecting our son from emotional pain, "he recalls. "It was a great mistake. I had time to prepare myself. But my wife's death stunned our boy. It was years before he trusted me again."

　　Says Judith Davenport, a psychotherapist (心理治疗医师)who practises in Santa Monica, Calif."It's important to let children experience the reality of death, if it can be done in an atmosphere of love and caring. A child whose sibling, parent or grandparent is seriously ill can be made to fell helpful by being allowed to run errands (跑腿) or answer the phone. Even a very young child can comfort a sick loved one with a brief cheering visit."

　　In many matters, if children are not told the facts about a financial setback, says Grace W. Weinstein, writer of Children and Money, they may imagine the worst. For example, they might think they'll have no food to eat or will lose their home, when the simple reality may be that luxuries (奢侈品)will have to be taken away.

　　Even the busiest families can arrange to share a relaxed evening meal together at least once or twice a week. Mealtimes are often the only time that families can engage in stimulating (激励人心的) conversations.

　　Says Michael Abrahams, a licensed (得到许可的) clinical social worker in Rockville, MD. "How mealtime is used to argue or talk, discipline or praise is a good barometer (晴雨表) of whether a family is drifting apart or drawing closer."

　　Another way to strengthen family closeness is to encourage your youngsters to invite a friend for dinner from time to time, giving each child a turn at choosing the guest. This makes parent get to know their children's friends, and also helps youngsters feel they are respected members of the family.

　　A joint endeavor can be stimulating if you choose one that everyone enjoys. Try planting and cultivating a garden, or organizing that box of old snapshots into a family album(相册), or learning how to bake bread from scratch.

　　One father recalls the shared sense of success he and his son experienced when they finished building a dining-room table. "We started six months ago with plans and planks," he says. When the job was done, we looked at each other and said, "We did it!"

　　65. The passage is written mainly for______.

　　A. parentsB. children C. social workers D. both parents and children

　　66. Judging from the passage, what does "sibling" in the third paragraph mean?

　　A. friend B. brother or sister C. cousin D. relative

　　67. What does the writer suggest to strengthen family ties?

　　A. Youngsters should invite friends to dinner at home.

　　B. Parents had better plant and cultivate a vegetable garden.

　　C. Make sure to let the child know immediately, no matter how old he is, if somebody in your family is going to die.

　　D. Parents should tell their children of financial setback in the family in order that they get prepared psychologically.

　　68. Why does building a dining-room table give the father and his son a shared sense of success?

　　A. Because building a table is a great pleasure.

　　B. Because others didn't believe that they could finally do it.

　　C. Because a dining-room table is very important to the family.

　　D. Because they achieve something by doing something together.

　　(D)

　　To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class; he stands the whole time for his explanations, and using his face to express his feelings. Listen to him , and you will hear the loudness, the quality(音色)and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.

　　The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to repeat words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words. Each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions natural on the stage.

　　A good teacher works in a quite different way. His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what other people had written.

　　69. A good teacher________.

　　A. knows how to hold the interest of his students

　　B. must have a good voice

　　C. knows how to act on the stage

　　D. stands or sits while teaching

　　70. A teacher's work is different from an actor's in that________.

　　A. the teacher must learn everything by heart

　　B. the teacher knows how to control his voice better than an actor

　　C. the teacher has to deal with unexpected situations

　　D. the teacher has to use more facial expressions

　　71. The main difference between students in class and theatre audience is that______.

　　A. students can move around in the classroom

　　B. students must keep silent while theatre audience needn't

　　C. no memory work is needed for the students

　　D. students must take part in their teacher's play

　　72. Why is it that some good teachers are unable to play well on the stage?

　　A. Because nobody has taught them how to act on the stage.

　　B. Because their audience are different.

　　C. Because it is impossible for them to do much memory work.

　　D. Because they are not used to repeating exactly the same words.

　　(E)

　　Leaving a tip in a restaurant has become a custom in most countries. The word "tip" came from the Latin word "Gratis", meaning free. Tips are defined as small gifts of money for service in addition to the payment due.

　　Believe it or not, the practice of tipping has an interesting history. The custom can be traced back to the Roman era. The Romans were the first civilization to use coins. It is possible that the word "tip" came from the word stipend. Stipend in Latin means gift. A more common belief is tips were first given in 18th century England. A popular coffee house equipped each table with a coin box. The label on each box read, "To Insure Promptness." Dropping a coin into the box would result in quick service. Also, the first letter of each word spells T. I. P.-tip.

　　In America and Europe it is customary to tip anything from 10% to 20%. Taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges, hotel boys, doormen, and disco coat check girls, all expect a little something. People working at these jobs usually receive a low basic salary, Tips are quite necessary to supplement their income. Today most people decide the size of tip according to the quality of the service. If the service and food are not satisfactory, a small tip or possibly no tip will be left. For excellent food and service most people are quite happy to leave a tip.

　　The world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders. Surprisingly, rich people are not"big tippers" unless entertaining guests. It is no use showing off if nobody is there to watch, right? Many throw money around like water to impress a group of friends out an evening"on the town". People who usually cannot afford it are the biggest tippers in front of their friends. It is all part of the show to prove a certain level of social success. Nobody wants to look cheap, stingy, or poor in front of their friends. Or tipping also gives some satisfaction just to see the waiter's reaction.

　　For, whatever reason, tipping will continue to be practised in most countries. Tipping does have its place in our modern society. It will also remain a somewhat personal expression of gratitude.

　　73. What is the meaning of the word "Gratis" according to the passage?

　　A. free of obligation B. free of charge

　　C. plenty in time D. free from tax

　　74. When were tips first given in England?

　　A. In the 17th century.

　　B. In the 18th century.

　　C. In the 19th century.

　　D. In the 20th century.

　　75. Why are people who cannot afford tipping the biggest tippers in front of their friends?

　　A. Because they have a lot of money.

　　B. Because they sympathize with taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges and disco coat check girls, etc.

　　C. Because of their vanity (虚荣心).

　　D. None of the above.

　　第二节到此结束。

　　【参考答案】

　　第一部分:听力

　　1-5 BBACB 6-10 CABAC 11-15 AACCB 16-20 CACBC

　　第二部分:第一节:单项选择

　　21. D。turn down someboy's request表示"拒绝某人的请求",其它三项均与题意不符。

　　22. A。该题主要考查no的用法。No等于not any 或not a / an,故no such后不加冠词。

　　23. A。"that"可以用作副词相当于"so"。不知道"that"的这一用法者,会在选择时进入误区。

　　24. B。本题容易错选A、C。注意:在as...as句型中间用adj. 或adv.的原级,同时要考虑到用adj. 还是adv.,此句作表语,故A、C不对。

　　25. A。根据上下文,空格处的意思应为"做完某事"。错选C、D者,是对短语动词掌握不熟,不知道"carry out"有"开展、进行"之意,而"set about"则是"着手做某事"。

　　26. B。本题考查expect 的词义:"盼望、指望"。从题中的did you ______? 告诉我们"你原来还指望什么呢?"而且下文也有暗示"从未及格过"。

　　27. C。whatever the house cost不论房子值多少钱。其它选项在句法和句意上都不符合题意。

　　28. C。本题考查状语从句的省略问题。错选A者认为as 为"当……时候",而as 强调"一边……一边",而此强调"在……时候(期间)",故先选when;此外,本题考查省略句。当从句与主句主语一致,且从句中的动词为be时,可将从句中主语及be 省略。

　　29. A。从题干第二句"He did very well in all his subjects."看出,他决不是个fool。anything but 意为"决不是"。but为介词"除了"。看不清语境会误选B或C。B表示的是"颇有点像",C表示"只不过",不符合句意。

　　30. B。a ( good) knowledge of English是习语,"懂英语"。如果只知道knowledge 是不可数名词,而忽视了它的特殊用法,就会误选A项。

　　31. D。从对话中可以看得出来,双方谈论的话题是过去的事,故应用ought to have +过去分词,省略时,则须在to之前加上have。错选B者主要是没注意到句中的yesterday,是表过去,而非现在。

　　32. B。本题考查虚拟语气的混合条件句。学生易错选C,是因为没有注意到句中的关键词"now"。

　　33. C。在delay, admit, avoid, suggest, advise, practise, finish, mind, enjoy等动词后,只跟动名词而不跟动词不定式作宾语。错答B者只考虑到kill动作发生在admit之前,但不知admit doing这一用法。

　　34. D。学生易死套would rather后跟动词原形这一语法规则,而忽略了would rather后跟的是一个从句。此题的考查点是would rather接从句,从句中应用虚拟语气,即与现在事实相反从句中谓语动词用一般过去时,与过去事实相反用过去完成时。故正确答案为D。

　　35. C。本题考查与"除……之外,还有……"这一汉语意思对应的英语besides或apart from的用法,题干中other是关键词。误选A者,没有注意到关键词other;误选D者,受汉语的影响。若在D项后加as,D项也就对了。

　　第二节:完形填空

　　作者一家在久无邻居为伴之后,突然有一天来了新邻居,新邻居有5个孩子。本文讲述作者一家与新邻居之间的烦恼与友谊。

　　36. C。长时间没有邻居做伴,突然有一天隔壁门前拖来一大车家具。这里要表示转折之意,根据本句结构只能用副词however,不能用连词but。B、D词义不符。

　　37. A。unload为"卸车",指把家具从车上搬下来。remove词义在此不准确。C、D词义不符语境。

　　38. B。5个孩子,年龄当然不同,of various ages 指不同年龄的。

　　39. A。搬来新家,孩子们自然是"愉快地"欢笑。B、C、D 不符语境和文意。

　　40. D。推开窗子。A、B、C 均有"撞开"之意,不符文意。

　　41. A。place指放置某物的地方。此处指把家具摆放到合适的位置。room则指空间。

　　42. B。introduction意为"认识"、"介绍",本句意为"我们第一次见面就是这样的"。

　　43. C。邻居之间自然是以"朋友"相处。

　　44. C。dress as, 打扮成。邻居的男孩子打扮成牛仔或印第安人。

　　45. D。装扮成牛仔或印第安人的男孩子们用木头枪"指着"(point at )我们。

　　46. B。命令我们举起手来当俘虏。

　　47. D。有的时候他们会饶我们一命。save 为救命,与文意不符;spare one's life,饶某人一命。

　　48. B。这里形容枪声尖利。

　　49. C。箭从篱笆上边飞过来。come sailing over,从……上方飞过来,sailing形容玩具箭飞的速度并不快。

　　50. A。但我们并不总是有这样的烦恼(指孩子们的打闹嬉戏)。

　　51. C。这里表条件。只要邻居在,我们就没有什么可担心的。

　　52. D。have company意为"有人做伴"。

　　53. B。when引导定语从句修饰evenings,在从句中作状语。

　　54. A。drop in 表示过来拜访。

　　55. C。有时候两个父亲靠在篱笆上谈很久。lean over sth.表示"伏在……上面"。

　　第二节:书面表达

　　Recently we made a survey about physical training. Only 35 percent of the surveyed people have taken part in physical activities, but the rest never have. There are many reasons for this.

　　Over half of the people say they haven't got enough time to do exercise. 34.9% of them complain that they don't have places where they can relax and that there are not enough training facilities. 12.9% of the people feel that they live too far away from the training centers. Some of them even don't know how to train.

　　Because of lack of physical training, many people are not in good health. People should realize the importance of it, and measures should be taken to provide people with more training facilities and places.
