These the teacher thought would be the 39 of most of her students art And they were 40 Douglas made a different kind of picture Douglas was a special kind of boy He was the teacher s true child of misery 41 and unhappy As other children played at break Douglas was likely to stand close by her side One could only guess the pain Douglas felt 42 those sad eyes Yes his picture was different When 43 to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful he drew a hand Nothing else Just a n 44 hand His abstract image captured the 45 of his classmates whose hand could it be One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer because farmers 46 turkeys Another suggested a police officer because the police protect and 47 people And so the discussion went until the teacher 48 forgot the young artist himself When the children had gone on to other tasks she 49 at Douglas desk bent down and asked him whose hand it was The little boy looked away and 50 It s yours teacher She 51 the times she had

would really be uncomfortable But there are some people who seem able to fast for very long periods Various records are claimed for long fast but in most cases there is no medical proof and so the records are doubtful One South African woman claimed that she lived for 102 days on nothinig but water and soda water There are great differences among living things in the ability to survive without food For example a tick 扁虱 which lives on animals may survive a whole year Warm blooded animals use up their stores of food in the body more quickly In fact the smaller and more active the animal the more quickly it uses up its reserves A small bird starves to death in about five days a dog in about twenty In general we can say that a warm blooded creature will die when it has lost about half its normal weight This matter of weight is important Man and other creatures live in a state of metabolic equiplibrium 新陈代谢的平衡 which means maintaining the body weight once a certain point has been reached This regulation of body weight is done by thirst hunger and appetite When your blood lacks nutritional materials this registers 记录 in the hunger center of the brain and you feel hungry The body is crying out for any kind of fuel food And it is our appetite that sees to it hat we chooose a mixed diet which is the kind the body needs 56 According to this passage a man will die A when a certain point in losing weight has been reached B when his blood lacks nutritional material C when his normal weight is lost D when he goes without food for more than 12 hours 57 The word fast in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by A eat no foodB live merely on water and soda water C live on nothingD remains alive for a long time without food 58 A tick can survive much longer than a bird because A a tick lives on animalsB a tick is much smaller C a bird is more activeD both B and C 59 A person feels hungry A if he doesn t choose a mixed diet B because his body cries out for food C when soemthing is wrong with regulation of body weight D if there are not enough nutritional in his blood 60 From the passage we can infer that the author A believes the South African woman very firmly B does not believe the South African woman at all C is not certain whether the South African woman s claim was true D is doubtful whether there was such a South African woman B It might sound ridiculous that goal setting could actually hold you back from completing tasks and dreams you may have But it seems like everyone tells you should be setting goals for everything you want to accomplish short term and long term Goals can help you sometimes but in some cases they just lead to constant frustration and they actually bring you down Let s look at this a little closer with an example A lot of people might set forth as a goal Many people jump online and are looking to start a business online as a way to make money from home and let s say they set a goal to make 10 000 in their first month They do this because they seem tons of people making large sums of money in very little time so they think 10 000 a month that shouldn t be too hard But what happens when you only bring in 1 000 in your first 30 days online If this is pure profit you might still be happy but this is nowhere near reaching the goal you originally set out to meet So naturally you would feel like you failed to reach your goal and you may be a little disappointed in yourself If you continue not to reach this goal month in month it starts to add up and really weighs on you I m not saying that they are bad and you shouldn t set them but you need to realize that you should not be emotionally attached to your goals An alternative approach would be to set certain milestones for when you want to accomplish things and start out small Build your confidence by accomplishing smaller feats and if you overproduce then it will be a nice surprise You have to have some sort of end result in mind but break it down in to a day by day task It makes it a lot easier for you to handle by just knowing everyday you have to complete a few small tasks and over time the snowball will roll into great things 61 The purpose of the passage is to A show that it s necessary to set goals B prove the disadvantages of setting goals C suggest way of setting goals to reach success D introduce how to reach success by setting high goals 62 In Paragraph 2 the writer used the example to A persuade readers not to be greedy for money B prove that goals often result in frustration C show goal setting sometimes stops you realizing your dreams D advise readers not to set goals to avoid frustration 63 According to the passage always sticking to our goals is A important B unnecessaryC ridiculousD natural 64 What belief does the writer most probably hold A The higher goals we set the more success we ll achieve B Goal setting is not always necessary and helpful C We shouldn t set higher goals than other people D Goals should be set for short term and long term 65 What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph A Another helpful tip for setting goalsB Benefits of setting small goal C Side effects of goal settingD Success achieved without goal setting C Are some people born clever and others born stupid Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences Strangely enough the answer to both questions is yes To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence On the other hand a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings Thus the limits of a person s intelligence are fixed at birth but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment This view now held by most experts can be supported in a number of ways It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with The closer the blood relationship between two people the closer they are likely to be in intelligence Thus if we take two unrelated people at random 随意地 from the population it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different If on the other hand we take two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other Relations like brothers and sisters parents and children usually have similar intelligence and this clearly suggests that integigence depends on birth Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments We might send one for example to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring We would soon find differences in intelligence developing and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence 66 Which of the following best describes the writer s point in Paragraph One A To some extent intelligence is given at birth B Intelligence is developed by the environment C Some people are born clever and others born stupid D Intelligence is fixed at birth but is developed by the environment 67 In the first paragraph no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence suggests that A no environment can change the least able into the most able B the difference in men s intelligence depends on the amount of their education C if a person is born clever he is certain to be a genius D if a person is born stupid nothing can change him into an educated person 68 The last paragraph mainly shows A the importance of education B the relationship between environment and birth C the writer s final conclusion D the relationship between intelligence and environment 69 The best title for this passage would be A Dependence on Education B Intelligence C Surroundings D Effect of Education 70 Which statement about the passage is true A All twins have similar degrees of intelligence B A man who is educated in university must make greater achievements than a man who works in a boring factory C Proper education can change one s intelligence at some degree D Education can t make a child born with low intelligence cleverer D A team of US psychologists have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory Socializing is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual performance Oscar Ybarra a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research said in a statement In one investigation they analyzed data on 3610 people aged 24 to 96 They found that the higher their level of social interaction 交流 the better their cognitive 认 知的 functioning Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives freinds and neighbors In another experiment the researchers conducted lab tests on 76 college students aged 18 to 21 to evaluate how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests The students were divided into three groups the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests the intellectual activities group completed three tasks including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle before the tests and a control group 对照组 watched a 10 minute clip 电源片段 of the Seinfeld television show We found that short term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants intellectual performan
