【题目】Directions : Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. 1 The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to dobut how we behave when we don’t know what to do.

The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. If he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. 2 Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, out of entirely set of attitudes.

Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-brightor less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, unite himself with it. 3 On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim that there is more than one way to skin a cat. 4 The dull child is usually afraid to try at all, It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once if that try fails, he is through.

A. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life.

B. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another.

C. He takes it for granted that he is the most intelligent guy in the world.

D. He continues his pursuit until he finally succeeds.

E. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations.

F. There is no wall between himself and life.

【答案】

1E

2A

3F

4B

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。本文讲述了我们所谓的智商(intelligence)并不是指能够在某种测试中获得高分或在学校成绩优秀。而是指一种生活或行为的方式,特别是当处在一种全新或混乱的情形下时,要想测试一个人的智商,就必须看他的行为而不是看他懂多少。

1根据第一段第一句When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. 并不是指能够在某种测试中获得高分或在学校成绩优秀,由mean可知,指一种生活或行为的方式,选E最贴切。

2根据本段下一句Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it.可知句式相似,选A合适。

3根据上一句The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, unite himself with it. 聪明的孩子对生活和现实充满好奇,渴望与之接触,与之融为一体。此处it指代life,同时himself反复出现,故选F

4根据上文He lives by the maxim that there is more than one way to skin a cat. 他的格言是:剥去猫皮的方法不止一种。可知,聪明的小孩会不断尝试别的方法,故本题选B

【题目】 If you’ve done your last year of school but are not yet ready to settle down to life at university or college, why not think about taking a break and having a gap year? Over 200,000 people between the ages of 18 and 25 did this last year.

1 You will become more confident and independent and learn to get on with all sorts of different people during the year, which will help you when you go to university or college. 2 Students who have had a gap year are more likely to be satisfied with their chosen courses and, therefore, are more likely to finish them.

3 Doing voluntary work overseas is one of the most rewarding ways of spending your gap year. If you don’t want to work, there are plenty of other exciting educational possibilities to consider. How about studying art history in Italy? Perhaps you would like to take up acting and want to try a drama course in your gap year. 4 Maybe it has always been your dream to visit China, or India or even Australia.

Of course, you don’t have to leave home. The key to a constructive gap year is to learn new skills and work out what you want to do with your life. You can do this just as easily in your own country as you can on the other side of the world. 5.

A. There are many reasons to take a gap year.

B. The universities actively encourage gap year.

C. What are the most common types of gap year?

D. Having a gap year can help gain relevant work experience and key skills.

E. There are plenty of established volunteering project you can research online.

F. Perhaps you would rather just fill your backpack and go off on an adventure.

G. Employers will often ask you what you gained from the year, not where you went.

【题目】Ways to save time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

1But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

Get Out of Bed Earlier.

If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m. try getting up at 7:00 a.m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.2

Do the Important Tasks First.

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). 3If you work like this, you’ll usually save time. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

Reduce Interruptions.

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter.4

5

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work.

B. Take Breaks When Necessary.

C. Would you want me to make your day longer?

D. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.

E. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

F. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

G. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

【题目】A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋), may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.

Dr.Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.

Parents should watch for signs of depression-eating or mood changes-and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.

1What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.

B. Puppy love may bring young people depression.

C. Parents should forbid their children’s love.

D. Romance is good for young people.

2Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

A. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.

B. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.

C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.

D. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.

3What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.

B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.

C. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.

D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.

4What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?

A. Confused B. Neutral

C. Scared D. Disapproving

【题目】Sitting is an art that isn't getting passed along. People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf to guard against illnesses, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies -- or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn't sitting -- it's watching.

People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go to the grocery to buy some garlic or some fruits and vegetables and sit on the bench out front m the summer or around the fire in the winter. You could go down to the store to buy an outer garment, an electric grill or anything else. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.

Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown-ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would gather round, sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel’s illness, and how well the minister did today. They may just talk a load of garbage and even gesture with their hands when they become excited. Outside, the younger generation, the children would play on the ground, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze( 悠闲的氛围).

That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正充电的电池) doesn't look as if it's doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life, don't just do something--sit there.

1What message does the author try to get through to us?

A. People should make better use of their sitting room.

B. People should spend less time watching TV.

C. People should pass down their good habits.

D. People should take things easy for their own good.

2We can learn from the second paragraph that__________.

A. people lived a more restful life in the past

B. towns were built to make living convenient

C. small town garages had a lot to offer

D. people enjoyed going out for a drive

3The sitting room mentioned in the text used to be a place for___________.

A. eating food B. watching TV

C. gathering together D. playing with children

4From the text we know the writer believes____________.

A. sitting has a good spiritual effect

B. sitting helps people remember the past

C. a sitting room may have different purposes

D. a sitting room is important for the old
