Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings—battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown(推翻) or killed—took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country.

In 1905, Binet was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a way to identify those children in French schools who were too "mentally deficient (不完善的)" to benefit from ordinary schooling and who needed special education. The tests had to distinguish those who were merely behind in school from those who were actually mentally deficient.The items that Binet and his colleague Thephile Simon included on the test were chosen on the basis of their ideas about intelligence. Binet and Simon believed intelligence includes such abilities as understanding the meaning of words, solving problems, and making common-sense judgments. Two other important assumptions (假定) also shaped Binet's and Simon's work: (1) children with more intelligence will do better in school and (2) older children have a greater ability than younger children. Binet's first tests consisted of thirty tasks. They were simple things most children learn as a result of their everyday experience. The tasks were arranged in groups, according to age. Binet decided which tasks were suitable for a given age group by giving them first to a large number of children of different ages. If more than half of the children of a given age passed a test, it was considered suitable for that age.11. The main purpose of this passage is to _____.A. tell the origin of intelligence testsB. explain the basic principle of intelligence testsC. describe the changes in the content of intelligence testsD. state the development of intelligence tests12. What was the purpose of the intelligence test designed by Alfred Binet in 1905?A. To select top students.B. To know who had received ordinary schooling.C. To put students in a right order.D. To make sure who require particular treatments.13. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Intelligence includes word understanding and problem solving.B. More intelligent children usually do better in school.C. The French Ministry of Education was charged with the development of first intelligence tests.D. Intelligence is related with age.14. How did Binet decide which tasks to be included on his first test?A. He first worked out thirty tasks for mentally deficient children.B. He first gave all the tasks to many children both younger and older.C. He first gave the tasks to many children he thought suitable.D. He first gave some of the tasks to different groups of children.15. In the passage, the description of Binet's intelligence test is developed in the order of _____.A. its purpose, basis and contentsC. its purpose, method and resultsB. its purpose, items and tasksD. its background, basis and assumptions第三部分：词汇与结构(5*3)16.

Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials(商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.31. Which of the following statements is not based on the passage?A.Parents are worried about the influence from television ontheir children.B.Television has much influence on children.C.Both parents and their children like watching educationaltelevision.D.Some critics think that television is no good for children.32. In what ways do children suffer from television?A.They become the victims of social violence.B.They spend hours watching television instead of doing schoolwork.C.The programs make the children lose interest in the world.D.The programs make the children spend too much of theirparents’ money.33. Parents would not like their children to see commercials because__________.A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingB. commercials teach children alphabet and numbersC. commercials help to sell productsD.they don’t like commercials34. Educational television is widely appreciated because_________.A.it does have the same commercials as othersB.it offers programs for both children and their parentsC.many parents like the programs it offers for their childrenD.children can learn some school subjects before they go toschool35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Watching Too Much Television Is Harmful to Young Minds.B.Television Is More Harmful than Educational.C.Television’s Influence on Children.D.More Education Television.Passage 2Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important . In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cult down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.36. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most importantof which is that they can_____________.A.keep him from the hot sunshineB.enable him to build warshipsC.make him draw quick profit from themD.protect him from droughts and floods37. It’s a great pity th at _______.A.man is only interested in building empiresB.man is not eager to make profits from treesC.man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to himD.man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees38. Sooner or later the forests will desappear______________.A.unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB.unless people stop cutting down their treesC.unless all people are taught the importance of planting treesD.unless the government punishes those who trees instead ofplanting them39. The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means“__________”.A.to wash awayB.to make wetC.to make stay togetherD.to improve40. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can ________.A.keep rain from falling down to soft groundB.make it possible for the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC.prevent the soil from being washed awayD.make the topsoil stick togetherPassage 3Do you find getting u p in the morning so difficult that it’s painful ? This might be called laziness, but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic （精力充沛） is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the people the peak comes before noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar saying as : “Get up, John! You’re late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling end when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll work better at your low point.Get off to slow start which saves your energy. When you get up, sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the nightbefore. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.41. According to the new findings of Dr. Kleitman, if a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _____________.A.he is a lazy personB.he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC.he is not sure when his energy is lowD.he is at his energy peak in the afternoon or evening42. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A.Unawareness of energy cyclesB.Familiar sayingC. A change in a family member’s energy cycleD.Attempts to control the energy of other family members.43. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ___A.change his energy cycleB.overcome his lazinessC.get up earlier than usualD.go to bed earlier44. You are advised to act slow when you rise in the morning because it will ___A.help to keep your energy for the day’s workB.help you to control your mood early in the dayC.enable you to concentrate on your routine workD.keep your energy cycle under control all day45. Which of the following statements I NOT true?A.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’senergy.B.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at differenthours of day.C.Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycle.D.Children have energy cycles, too.Part IV.

By the seventeenth century ithad stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille’s workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King’s letter could set him free.Over the years the number of arrests by King’s letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions (贪污腐败) of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717-1718, and another 12 days in 1726.For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King’s complete power.31. The Bastille became a prison ___________.A. since the time of Charles VB. since 1370C. in the seventeenth centuryD. since the time of Cardinal Richelieu32. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Anyone who did something wrong could find himself suddenly in theBastille.B. The Bastille was only for those who were opposed to the King.C. Things done in the Bastille were hardly known to people outside.D. Voltaire was twice put in the Bastille.33. At the time of its fall, the Bastille housed _____________.A. a large number of prisonersB. a lot of writers who had been against the governmentC. some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free thinkingD. only a few prisoners34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All prisoners in the Bastille had to stay there for life.B. Over the years the number of prisoners in the Bastille was getting biggerand bigger.C. The King could put people in or let them out of the Bastille as hewanted.D. At the time it was captured, there were so few prisoners in it that itmeant little to the people.35. This passage mainly ________________.A. tells how the prisoners were controlled by the KingB. tells how little was known about the BastilleC. shows the inner workings of the BastilleD. gives a brief history of the BastillePassage 2The resources of the library can be helpful evenwhen we are doing something very informal, such as trying to devise (设计) a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equallyhelpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.The following sections of this chapter will describe specificresources available in many libraries. In some cases you may already be aware ofaresource andmay use it frequently andsuccessfully. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with aresource. Your goal should be to become aware of what is available andto know how touseeach ofthese resources to help you solve theproblem they are designed to solve.When educators have a piece of informationthat they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available inprofessional journals or at professional meetings.It wouldoften be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us tolocate such information.36. The library resources can be helpful when we ______________.A. want to find a better way to measure attitudes toward musicB. are preparing a paper for a professional journalC. are writing a dissertationD. All of the above37. The familiarity of readers with different resources ____________.A. is more or less the sameB. varies slightlyC. differs greatlyD. should not be different38.

The chapter where this passage is taken ______________.A. mainly deals with the ways of dissertation writingB. presents information on publishing papers in professional journalsC. introduces some library servicesD. describes some professional meetingsPassage 3What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity (容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.41. The size of man’s forehead will probably grow bigger because _______.A. he will use his brain more and more as time goes onB. he makes use only 20% of the brain’s capacityC. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesD. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time42. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.C. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.D. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.43. What will be true about a human being in the future?A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.C. His fingers will grow weaker because he won’t have to make use of them.D. He will think and feel in a different way.44. It is implied that __________________.A. human beings will become more attractive in the futureB. body organs will become poorer if they are not used oftenC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable45. The passage mainly tells us that _______________.A. man’s life will be different in the futureB. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesC. future man will look quite different from usD. human beings’ organs will function weakerPart IV Vocabulary and Structure (25 points)Section ADirections: In this section there are 15 incomplete sentences.
