第3题

The first practical measure of intelligence, and in its modem form. still widely used, was

developed by the French psychologist Alfred Binet, His study of children's mental abilities began when he noticed that his two daughters walked differently and wondered whether they might also think differently. He and his co-worker set about devising a way to test their intellectual performance. Binet's method was based on the simple observation that the intellectual performance of a child increases with age. By testing children of various ages, he could discover the intellectual milestones that marked each age.

In 1905, at the request of the Paris school authorities who wanted a means of identifying children who were slow learners, Binet prepared the forerunner (雏形) of the modem intelligence test. Binet's test consists of 30 questions corresponding in difficulty to the varying abilities of children between the ages of 3 and 13. The questions ranged from simple tasks, such as asking children to identify their eyes, nose, and mouth, to more complex activities, such as constructing a sentence around certain words. The questions were arranged so that a three-year-old child would be expected to answer progressively more difficult ones.

Binet was able to establish standards of performance by first giving the test to a sample composed of children of varying ages. He then carefully recorded their scores and specified norms—the distribution of scores obtained by children at different ages. Thus, a child's intelligence was operationalized(转化为) as the number of items he or she was able to answer correctly. The level achieved indicated the child's mental age (MA). For example, if a child successfully completed all those items typically answered by the average five-year-old and none above that level, the child's MA was said to be five years.

Binet's idea of intelligence measurement was based on his discovery that ______.

A．his daughters walked and thought differently

B．some children were slower learners

C．children's intelligence increased with age

D．intellectual milestones marked each age

Architecture

1 Architecture is to building as literature is to the printed word. The best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use. They then survive not only as beautiful objects, but as documents of the history of cultures. These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals. Architecture is a social art.

2 The renaissance brought about an entirely new age, not only in philosophy and literature but in the visual arts as well. In architecture, the principles and styles of ancient Greece and Rome were brought back to life and reinterpreted. They remain dominant until the 20th century.

3 Many kinds of stone are used as building materials. Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are not burnable and can be expected to endure. Stone architecture was often blended with stone sculpture. The use of stone has declined, however, because a number of other materials are more adaptable to industrial use.

4 The complexity of modem life calls for a variety of buildings, More people live in mass housing and go, to work in large office buildings; they spend their income in large shopping centers, send their children to many different kinds of schools, and when they are sick they go to specialized hospitals and clinics. All these different types of buildings accumulated experiences needed by their designers.

5 By the middle of the 20th century, modem architecture, which was influenced by new technology and mass production, was dealing with increasingly complex social needs. Important characteristics of modem architectural works are expanses of glass and the use of reinforced concrete. Advances in elevator technology, air conditioning, and electric lighting have all had important effects.

A Building Materials

B Need of Greater Building Varieties in Modem Life

C Restoration of Ancient Civilizations

D Evolution in Style

E Factors Affecting Modem Architecture

F A Social Art

Paragraph 2 ______ .

第5题

People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctor's office. At least they expect

their blood pressure and temperature to be measured. However, as recently as two hundred years ago, a doctor's treatment depended on talking with patients. In general, the communication between doctors and their patients was the most important part of medical methods. The modem age of medicine began with the stethoscope, an instrument for listening to patients' heartbeat and breathing. Before that, a doctor did not touch a patient. In fact, there was no such thing as a medical examination. The stethoscope-with all other medical instruments-has a serious effect on the practice of medicine. Doctors become better at finding the medical problems. More lives are saved. At the same time, doctors give less importance to the communication between patients and doctors. Some doctors actually stop talking to their patients. It is easy to understand why some sick people thought themselves as broken machines.

A stethoscope can be used to______.

A．check health conditions

B．cure some illnesses

C．measure temperature

D．treat heart disease

听力原文：W: Did you go to a State primary school？M: Yes, I did. I went to a nursery school

听力原文：W: Did you go to a State primary school？

M: Yes, I did. I went to a nursery school first at the age of four, but this was purely voluntary.

W: Can you still remember it？

M: Yes, I have faint, but very pleasant memories of it. It was a delightful place, full of fun and games.

W: You probably don't remember but you must have missed it when you left.

M: Yes, but you know, before seven, school life was very pleasant. It was only later in the Junior School we began to have more formal lessons and even worry about exams.

W: Really？ Did you have to do exams at that age？

M: Yes, we used to then. We had to take an exam at the age of eleven called the "eleven- plus" to see what kind of secondary school we would get into. But this exam is slowly disappearing nowadays.

W: There are four main types of secondary school, aren't there？

M: Yes. Most of the brighter children go to a grammar school, some go to a technical school, and the majority go to a secondary modem school. And then there are the comprehensive schools which cater for all levels of academic ability. These are becoming more and more important.

W: I must say I find your educational system rather complicated, 'and to make matters worse, you call your private schools public schools!

M: Yes, I suppose it is all rather confusing. But like so many other things in Britain our educational system is deeply rooted in tradition and .yet it's changing all the time.

W: Really？ In what ways is it changing？

M: Well, in nearly every way. There is a strong movement towards comprehensive schools, where all children go for secondary education no matter what their ability or background. And they are no longer tested by examination at the age of eleven.

W: But won't the wealthy always be in a privileged position？ They'll always be able to send their children to the best private schools in the country.

M: Not necessarily. If independent schools join the State system and we do away with the idea of grammar schools for the clever and secondary modern schools for the less bright, then every child should have an equal opportunity to do well and go on to higher education.

(23)

A．At the age of 4.

B．At the age of 6.

C．At the age of 7.

D．At the age of 11.

第8题

The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth c

entury there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a woman's life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modem living conditions.

This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left schools at the first chance, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with the both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to file abilities and interests of each of them.

According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married ______.

A．at about twenty-five

B．in their early fifties

C．as soon as possible after they were fifteen

D．at any age from fifteen to forty-five

听力原文： There are several places in the world that are famous for people who live for a very long time．Theses places are usually mountainous areas，far away from modem cities．Doctors，scientists and public health experts often travel to these regions to solve a mysterious long healthy life；the expertshope to bring to the modem world the secrets of longevity．

Hunza is high in the Hymalayan Mountains of Asia．There，many people over one hundred years of age are still in physical health．Men of ninety are new fathers．and women of fifty still have babies．What are the reasons for this good health？ Scientists believe that the people of Hunza have these three benefits：first，physical work，usually in the fields or with animals；second，a health environment with clean air and water：and what's more, a simple diet high in vitamins and nutrition but low in fat，cholesterol，sugar and chemicals．

People in the Caucasus Mountain in Russia are also famous for their longevity．In this area，there are amazing examples of very long-lived people．Birth records are not usually available．but a woman called Tsurba probably lived until age 160; a man called Shirali probably lived until 168．His widow was 120 years old．In general，people not only live a long time，but they also live well．They are almost never sick，and when they die，they have not only their own teeth but also a full head of hair and good eyesight．

Vilcabamba，Ecuador，is another area famous for the longevity of its habit ants．This region—like Hunza and the Caucasus—is also in high mountains．far away from cities．In Vilcabamba．too．there is very little disease．One reason for the good health of the people might be the clean，beautiful environment：the temperature is about 70 Fahrenheit all year long；the wind always comes from the same direction；and the region is rich in flowers，fruits，vegetables and wildlife．

In some ways，the diets of the habitants in the three regions are quite different．Hunzukuts eat mainly raw vegetables，fruit(especially apricots)，and chapattis—a kind of pancake；they eat meat only a few times a year．The Caucasian diet consists mainly of milk，cheese，vegetables，fruit and meat；most people there drink the local red wine daily．In Vilcabamba，people eat a small amount of meat each week，bat the diet consists largely of grain，corns，beans，potatoes and fruit．

Experts find one surprising fact in the mountains of Ecuador．Most people there，even the very old，consume a lot of coffee，drink a large amount of alcohol，and smoke forty to sixty cigarettes daily．

However，the diets are similar in two general ways：first，the fruits and vegetables that the inhabitants of the three areas eat are all natural；that is，they contain no chemicals and second，the people consume fewer calories than people do in the other parts of the world．A typical North American takes in all average of 3,300 calories every day；a typical inhabitant of these mountainous areas between 1,700 and 2,000 calories．

Inhabitants in the three regions have more in common calories, natural food，their mountains and their distance from modem cities．because these people live in countryside and are mostly farmers，their lives are physically hard．Thus，they do not need to go to health clubs because they get a lot of exercise in their daily work．In addition，although，their lives are hard，the people do not seem to have the worries of city people．Their lives are quiet．Consequently，some experts believe that physical exercise and freedom from worry might be the two most important secrets of longevity．

Some modem cities are usually famous for people who live a very long time.

A．Right

B．Wrong
