17、this section.Each passage is followed by some questions.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark on answer sheet.Passage 1 Baekeland and Hartmann report that the short sleepers had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the m

18、en were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines. In g

19、eneral, these short sleeps appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear normal or accepta

20、ble to their friends and associates. When asked to recall their dreams, the short sleepers did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the

21、hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the short sleepers were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic. The long sleepers were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy s

22、leeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the short sleepers. Many of the long sleepers were shy, anxious,

23、introverted, inhibited, passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.26. According to the report,_.A. many short sleepers need less sleep by natureB. many short sleepers are obliged t

24、o reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their workC. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the dayD. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood27. Many short sleepers are likely to hold the view that _.A. sleep is a withdrawal fro

25、m the realityB. sleep interferes with their sound judgementC. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine programD. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles28. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers _.A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of lifeB.

27、hich of the following is NOT included in the passage?A.If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakenedB. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the same as those shown by many mental patientsC. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleepD.

28、Short sleepers would be better off with more restPassage 2 There are three kinds of goals: short-term,medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities,which we can apply on a daily basis.Such goals can be achieved in a week or less,or two weeks,

29、or possible months.It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation ,out long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals.Upon completing our short-term goals,we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals t

30、hat will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals.They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year,or they could even extend for several years.Any time you move a step at a time,you should never allow yours

31、elf to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step,you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed.And as your list of completion dates grow,your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five y

32、ears or more. Life is not a static thing.We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.31.Our long-term goals mean a lot_.A.if we complete our short-range goalsB.if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC.if we write down the datesD.if we put forward some plans32.New sho

35、g-term goals will succeedB.writing down the dates may discourage youC.the goal is only a guide for us to reach our destinationD.every should have a goalPassage 3 One of the most interesting paradoxes in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United

36、 States, is now engaged in a serious debate about what a university should be, and whether it is measuring up. Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions, it is asking - still in private rather than in public - whether its past assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, cou

37、rses of study, are really relevant to the problems of the 1990s. Should Harvard or any other university be an intellectual sanctuary, apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions; or even an en

38、gine of the revolution? This is what is being discussed privately in the big clapboard houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard. The issue was defined by Waiter Lippmann, a distinguished Harvard graduate, several years ago. If the universities are to do their work, he said, they must be ind

39、ependent and they must be disinterested They are places to which men can turn for judgements which are unbiased by partisanship and special interest. Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a h

40、and in politics and the leadership of government, their value as independent and disinterested sources of judgement is impaired. This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the argument of the militant and even many moderate students: that a university is the keep

41、er of our ideals and morals, and should not be disinterested but activist in bringing the nations ideals and actions together. Harvards men of today seem more troubled and less sure about personal, political and academic purpose than they did at the beginning. They are not even clear about how they

42、should debate and resolve their problems, but they are struggling with them privately, and how they come out is bound to influence American university and political life in the 1990s. 36. The issues in the debate on Harvards goals are whether the universities should remain independent of our society

43、 and its problems, and whether they should . A. fight militarism B. overcome the widespread drug dependency C. take an active part in solving societys ills D. support our old and established institutions 37. In regard to their goals and purposes in life, the author believes that Harvard men are beco

44、ming . A. more sure about them B. less sure about them C. more hopeful of reaching a satisfactory answer D. completely disillusioned about ever 38. The word paradox in paragraph 1 is .A. a parenthetical expression B. a difficult puzzle C. an abnormal condition D. a self-contradiction 39. The word sa

45、nctuaryin paragraph 3 is . A. a holy place dedicated to a certain god B. a temple or nunnery of middle age C. a certain place you can hide in and avoid mishaps D. an academy for intelligent people 40.In the authors judgement, the ferment going on at Harvard .A. is a sad symbol of our general bewilde

46、rment B. will soon be over, because times are bound to change C. is of interest mostly to Harvard men and their friends D. will influence future life in America Passage 4 There are two factors which determine an individuals intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains d

47、iffer considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual-the sort of environment in which he is reared

48、. If an individual is handicapped environmentally ,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable. The importance of environment in determining an individuals intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the ident

49、ical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old , their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated c

50、ommunity with poor educational opportunities.Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child , sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their

51、late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Marks I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities , the twins , having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.41.This selection can best be titled_.A.Measuring Your IntelligenceB.Intelligence an
