10、Passage OneI had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric（古怪的） farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I
11、 could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadnt the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.It had been snowing heavily that day and I didnt know the day. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, wa
12、iting for me. It seemed Milly had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal（丑闻）. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn. “I wouldnt leave her out in the cold!” he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell hi
13、m he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldnt let anyone but a doctor touch her!” he said, and burst into tears again.21. The underlined phrase “make out “in the first paragr
14、aph means _B_.A. expect B. understand C. see clearly D. hear clearly22. Before he arrived at the farmers house, the writer expected to see Milly lying _C_.A. on the ground of a barn B. on the floor of a room C. in bed in a room D. in bed in a barn23. What do we know about Milly from the story? AA. S
15、he had met with an accident. B. She had caused a scandal.C. She was seriously ill. D. She was hidden somewhere.24. The farmer wished that the writer might _B_.A. look into the matter B. bring Milly back to life C. free him from a scandal D. keep the whole thing a secret25. The person who told the st
16、ory is probably a _C_.A. farmer B. policeman C. Country doctor D. newspaper reporterPassage TwoAre some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence(智力) developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both questions is yes. To some extent our intell
17、igence 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 pers
18、ons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reached 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, to some extent, is something we are born with. The closer the blood relation
19、ship between two people, the closer they are likely to in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random 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（双胞胎） they will very likely be as
20、intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, t
21、o university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not relate
22、d at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.26. The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him_C_.A. at birth B. through education C. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth nor through education27. If a child is born with low intelligence,
23、 he will_C_.A. never become a genius B. still become a genius if he is given special educationC. exceed（超过） his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not reach his intelligence limits in his life28. In the second paragraph, “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population” means i
24、f we _D_.A. pick up any two persons B. choose two persons who are relativesC. take out two different persons D. choose two persons with different intelligence29. The example of the twins put in different environments is to show_B_.A. the importance of their intelligence B. the influence of environme
25、nt on intelligence C. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays30. The best title for this passage is _B _.A. Surroundings B. Intelligence C. Dependence on Environment D. Effect of Education Passage ThreeMusic, we may say, is the art of organizing sounds. Music is a rhythmic poe
26、m that inspires, a harmonious tone that tranquilizes, and a melody of mystery and beauty.There are many kinds of music. Since we have different ideas of what is beautiful, we have our choices from the magnificent compositions of music masters like Beethoven, Bach, Chopin and Wagner, to the popular s
27、ongs and tunes of the common music hall.Only people of educated musical taste can appreciate the former, and only they find no pleasure in the latter while the common people are bored with what is called classical music, and find pleasure only in what musicians would call vulgar tunes.However, good
28、music often has a wonderful effect upon the feelings of even ignorant people. One poet has said, “Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast.”Soft and sweet music soothes the wearied, the sad, the restless, and grand music will fill strong men with great ambitions: the regimental band puts courage
29、 into the hearts of troops: the solemn hymns fill the worshippers with reverence. Indeed, as the poet Dryden once asked, “What passion cannot music raise and quell?”31. The best title for this passage is _A_.A. Music B. Musical Poem C. Art D. The Effect of Art32. The following persons are all music
30、masters except_C_.A. Wagner B. Chopin C. Shakespeare D. Beethoven33. What does the word “vulgar” mean in the third paragraph?

31、he passage.A. Music has charms make beasts feel calmer B. Music has the effect to comfort the wearied C. Grand music may fill strong men with great ambition D. Music can help the doctor to kill some illness35. Who may find no pleasure in popular songs according to passage? DA. poets in good taste B.
32、 scientists in research fields C. the working people D. people of educated musical tastePassage FourThough they usually have to bear it for at least the first year, most U.S. university students end dorm life as soon as they can.Residence(住校 )choices at U.S. colleges and universities are as differen
33、t as the institutions themselves, but the first-year dorm experience is generally a mandatory rite(仪式)of passage.Students often complain about the space, but compared with most Chinese dorm rooms those in the U.S. are costly and satisfying. Most students spend their first year in a double room, usua
34、lly with an area of somewhere between 12 and 15 square meters.A standard room includes a sink(washbasin), a telephone, a bunk-bed, two desks and two wardrobes. Rooms often come equipped with cable TV and broadband Internet access.Students usually provide other extras for themselves-they buy or rent
35、a mini-refrigerator and bring along a carpet, a computer and audiovisual equipment.Roommates are usually chosen by chance from among all the new students at the university, so its quite likely you wont share any classes with your roommate.Its not only the lack of space, but the many rules that make
36、students feel theyve had enough after a year. Rules on visitors of the opposite sex and alcohol are considered by many as the most bothersome(讨厌的)。Some students put much effort into making their rooms different, especially by using paint, but this can lead to fines.Many students who leave move into
37、an apartment or share a house with friends. This offers more freedom and sometimes even costs less than residence hall living.But a few grow fond of dorm life and stay on for another year or even longer. The most devoted go on to serve as resident assistants, the enforcers(执行者)of rules.36. Students
38、usually have dorm life for at least one year because _A_ .A. they have to B. they like to try something newC. they want to make new friendsD. their dorm life is quite satisfying37.

No one would like to go on with their dorm life after first-year dorm life experience.38. Which of the following is probably NOT the reason why students
40、end their dorm life as soon as possible? BA. Rooms are too small B. Their roommates are not friendly.C. They dont like the many rules there.D. It is more expensive.39. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? CA. All students do enjoy their dorm life.B. Some students become the en
41、forcers of rules.C. Though many students move out, there are some students who stay on.D. Students are allowed to stay on.40. What is the best title for the passage? AA.
