6、       It was Christmas Day 1999．On CNN, talk show host Larry King was interviewing Stephen Hawking．

       “What, professor, puzzled you the most?” King asked． “What do you thing about the most?”

       Hawking immediately replied, “Women．”

       It’s a comfort that Hawking, one of the smartest men in the world, is puzzled by the opposite sex．But, that’s not surprising, according to Satoshi Kanazawa．Bright people are no better than anyone else at making smart decisions about common things, he says．These include finding a mate, maintaining family relationships, raising children, finding the way home, and handling a variety of basic life needs．

       That’s because there are several kinds of formal “intelligence”, Kanazawa argues．Being smart one way does not necessary mean smart in another way．This view is sure to cause arguments among scientists who think about thinking．That is because it disagrees with the common view that general intelligence is a single thing．In that view, it is not, as Kanazawa and others say, set of independent mental areas．

       Kanazawa says that some kinds of intelligence developed slowly over time．Many people have heard about what is called “emotional intelligence”．Now, psychologists have discovered several other types of intelligence．These include the ability to learn a language, find a mate, recognize faces, and locate oneself in a new environment．

       But, is there evidence to support the theory that intelligence comes in many forms? “Actually, there is quite a lot of evidence”, Kanazawa says．“If there were only one type of intelligence”, he adds, “Then people with high IQs should be ‘smart’ in every way．”

       In one test, a psychologist took a group of subjects on a bike, walking into the forest．He then told them to find their way back．The high IQ people were no more likely to be able to find out where they were．In another experiment, a researcher asked people to find their way to a specific location in a computer maze(迷宮)．Once again, high IQ did not give them any edge．

1．Which of the following state is true according to the text?

       A．It’s surprising that the opposite sex puzzles Hawking．

       B．It’s natural that the opposite sex puzzles Hawking．

       C．People with high IQ have more advantages in daily life．

       D．People with high IQ have more emotional intelligence．

2．What are smart people according to Satoshi Kanazawa?

       A．They are better than the other people at making smart decisions about common things．

       B．They are as bad as the other people at making smart decisions about common things．

       C．They are more likely to be able to find the way back than the other people．

       D．They are more likely to be able to find a friend of the opposite sex．

3．The underlined word “edge” in this passage probably means        ．

       A．corner                    B．intelligence              C．a(chǎn)dvantage               D．proof

4．What does the writer mainly tell us in this passage?

       A．Anyone who has high IQ is always smart in doing everything．

       B．Anyone who has high IQ has higher emotional intelligence．

       C．Those who have high IQ do better than those who don’t in everything．

       D．Those who have high IQ can’t do better than those who don’t in something．

5．What does the last paragraph play in the text?

       A．Drawing a conclusion．                              B．Supporting the theme with facts．

       C．Stating the fact．                                       D．Expounding the theme．

5、       Recently, in the hope of getting both money and social experience I became a door-to-door salesman．I once read a saying: “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t, you may be treated as coldly as winter．” You may consider this an exaggeration(夸張), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct．

       You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman．You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentence over again; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike……．

       I did this work for a month; then I decided to give it up．Apart from the above reasons, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time．The latest test result proved that my grades are getting lower．Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my classmates in college activities．Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job．Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing even though I was earning money at great cost．

       Newspaper and magazines often publish stories about good students who do part-time work and keep high scores in class．But according to my experience, part-time work can have some strong ban effects on study．

       Most students don’t see the relationship between study and work in a correct way．In my opinion, if it isn’t a must for financial reasons, students should be cautious about taking up a part-time job．

1．What caused the author to give up his part-time job?

       A．Too much attention to it and his grades getting lower．

       B．He often miss some colleges activities．

       C．Sometimes he felt tired an unhappy．

       D．All the above．

2．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”?

       A．Losing．                B．Saving．                 C．Using．                  D．Getting．

3．The writer thought            ．

       A．to do part-time job is unnecessary

       B．part-time job had good effects on study

       C．it was hard to plan study and work correctly

       D．part-time jobs were good for students

4．Who should take part-time jobs according to the text above?

       A．Every college students．                      B．Those who want to get study experience．

       C．Those in great need of money．            D．Those from very rich families．

5．What kind of person is salesman according to the write?

       A．Those who are treated as warmly as spring．

       B．Those who only nods to the customers．

       C．Those who are strong-willed and satisfy the customers．

       D．Those who only purpose is to earn enough money．

4、       American colleges and universities consider a number of things about a student who wants to be admitted．Admission officers look not only at the grades that the student has earned．They also look at the level of difficulty of the classes．

       A student’s interests and activities may also play a part in getting accepted．But in most cases another consideration is how well the student did on college entrance exams．The SAT(Scholastic Assessment Tests) measures reasoning(推理) skills in mathematics and language．Students have almost four hours to complete the SAT．The newest part is an essay．Students have twenty-five minutes to write an answer to a question．

       The SAT costs forty-one dollars and fifty cents．The international processing charge is twenty-two dollars more．And test-takers in India and Pakistan must also pay a twenty-one dollar and fifty cent security charge．

       Students may also need to take SAT subject tests in areas like history, science and foreign language．Subject tests cost eighteen dollars each．

       The ACT is an achievement test．It is designed to measure what a student has learned in school．Students are tested in mathematics, English, reading and science．A writing test is offered but not required．Without it, the ACT takes about three hours to complete．The essay part adds thirty minutes．The ACT costs forty-nine dollars to take outside the United States．The writing test costs an additional fourteen dollars．

       Recent Chinese news reports suggested that ACT testing would be expanded in China next year．But an ACT spokesman denies those reports．He tells us they were based on a misunderstanding．He says there are no plans to increase the number of testing centers in China．Ten centers there offer the ACT, but students must first take training classes at those centers．The only place in China where the SAT is offered for Chinese students is in HongKong．International students living in China have more choices．

1．If a student from India wants to take the SAT, how much should he pay?

       A．41.5 dollars．         B．63.5 dollars．          C．63 dollars．            D．85 dollars．

       A．The ACT test centers in China will be expanded next year．

       B．There are ten ACT testing centers in China．

       C．A student can’t take the ACT test without taking training classes in the testing center．

       D．A student should pay 49 dollars to take ACT if he doesn’t take the writing test．

4．Which of the following is not considered as the admissions to the university?

       A．A student’s activities

       B．A student’s high school record．

       C．A student’s interests．

2、       America is a country on the move．In unheard-of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health．According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly——up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago．Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active．
