James was particularly devoted to the cat, and when he had to leave town for several days, he left Herbert careful instruction s about the pet’s care. At the end of his first day away, James telephoned his brother, “How is Edgar?”“Edgar is dead.” Herbert answered. There was a pause. Then James said, “Herbert, you’re insensitive (漠然的). You know how close I was to Edgar. You should have broken the news to me slowly. When I asked about Edgar tonight, you should have said, ‘Edgar’s on the roof , but I have called the fire department to get him down.’ And tomorrow when I called, you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting Edgar down, but you were hopeful they would succeed. Then when I called the third time, you could have told me that the firemen have done their best, but unfortunately Edgar had fallen off the roof and was at the veterinarian’s (兽医站). Then when I called the last time, you could have said that although everything possible had been done for Edgar, he had died. That’s the way a sensitive man would have told me about Edgar. And, oh, before I forget,” James added, “how is mother?”“Oh,” Herbert said, pausing for a moment, “She’s on the roof.”41. James telephoned his brother at the end of his first day away because he wanted to know _____.A. what he was doingB. whether he was goodC. whether the cat was goodD. where his mother was42. Why did James say his brother was insensitive?A. Because he told him the news directly.B. Because he killed their pet.C. Because his mother was on the roof.D. Because he missed the truth about the cat.43. From the last paragraph of the passage, we can know that the mother was probably _____.A. on the roofB. ill or even deadC. repairing the houseD. playing gamesBIn some countries, students may have to take out a bank loan (贷款) to pay for tuition fees. However, not in Australia. There, students get help from HECS-HELP (Higher Education Contribution Scheme-Higher Education Loan Program).HECS-HELP is a loan system in which the government covers part or all of the tuition. It pays directly to the university on the student’s behalf.HECS is an Australian invention. Since it was introduced in 1989, it has been copied in other countries including Britain, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and Thailand. “It’s one of the best things about Australia,” exclaimed Justine Davies, 26, an Australian girl. “Without it, I simply wouldn’t have been able to get tertiary (三等的) education. It makes university education in reach of everybody who wants it.”Davies said she paid only about A$400 each term for her tuition which was “several thousand dollars a year”.One HECS-HELP advantage is that students don’t have to begin repaying until their income is above a certain amount (A$38,148 in 2006-2007), according to the government website. So, a person making A$39,000 in 2006-2007 would pay 4 percent of their income, or A$1,560.The size of repayments rises with income. If the person’s income falls below A$38,000, the repayments stop until they are gainfully employed.44. The aim of HECS-HELP is to _____.A. help students get a higher scoreB. make everybody receive university educationC. improve students’ ability of earning moneyD. make students live a better life45. Which of the following countries does NOT carry out HECS-HELP?A. Australia.B. New Zealand.C. South Africa.D. India.46. One advantage of this program is that _____.A. students needn’t pay off the loan from the governmentB. students don’t have to repay until they get a certain incomeC. it will help students to get a good jobD. it is widely carried out all over the world47. If a person’s income is A$35,000 in 2007, the repayment should be _____.A. A$1,560B. A$1,650C. A$1,400D. zeroCPeople in the United States honor their pare nts with 2 special days: Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May and Father’s Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respectfor parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible c itizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers an d fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with childcare.These two special days are celebrated in many diff erent ways. On mother’s Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It’s also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(grave). On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than thos e bought in stores. It’s not the value of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.48.

I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in theevening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me.I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with c hildren. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.53. What is the author’s present job?A. Working part-time in a college.B.

Researchers have excavated tiny bones that they believe belong to an entirely new human species. If that’s true, it will change how we think about our ancestors.Clues that the little people may have lived long ago were first issued last year in the scientific journal Nature. Scientists said that they had found the bones of a three-foot-tall female on the island of Flores in Indonesia. When they looked more closely, they saw that the nearly complete skeleton(骨架) belonged to a full-grown adult. Researchers named her Hobbit after the tiny heroes of the Lord of the Rings books.Now the team is saying it has excavated even more pieces of the puzzle, including a jawbone and parts of arms, legs and hands from several individuals, as well as stone tools. They reported their find in Nature this month. “The new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species, distinct from modern humans.” Peter Brown, a scientist on the team, said. They named these ancient humans Homo floresiensis.Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. If Homo floresiensis was a different species from modern humans, that would make our family tree bigger than we knew, It means, says Brown, that “until recently a relative shared the planet with us.”Many scientists think a new species is unlikely. Some argue that the bones must have belonged to modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.Daniel E. Lieberman, a scientist at Harvard University, thinks that the debate over the discovery is healthy. He believes that the questions and arguments raised by critics will help us learn more about these unusual skeletons. “Disagreement is an important part of the scientific process,” Lieberman said, “As far as I’m concerned, the story’s only just begun.”57. Researchers name the skeleton Hobbit because________.A.it is a figure described in the Lord of the RingsB.it resembles the tiny heroes in a set of booksC.it proves to be a full-grown adultD.it belongs to an ancient human species58. Small discoveries in Indonesia are important because_______.A. they are issued in the scientific journal NatureB. they are made by Peter Brown, a famous scientistC. they are about ancestors of modern humansD. they might provide new evidence for human study59 According to Daniel E. Lieberman_________.A. Homo floresiensis doesn’t existB. disagreement leads to further researchC. the research hasn’t begun yetD. our family tree is bigger than we know60. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Comparison Between Different PeoplesB. Arguments Over Human OriginC. Discovery of a Possible New Human SpeciesD. History of Indonesian People四、完成下列英语智力题。
