第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these 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, 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 degree 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 intelligence 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 should soon find differences in 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 related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
41. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him ______.
A. at birth B. through education
C. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth nor through education
42. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can _____.
A. become a genius
B. still become a genius if he should be given special education
C. go beyond his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
D. never reach his intelligence limits in his life
43. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows ______.
A. the importance of their intelligence
B. the role of environment on intelligence
C. the importance of their positions
D. the part that birth plays
44. The best title of this passage can be ______.
A. Surroundings B. Intelligence
C. Dependence on Environment D. Effect of Education
B
China called its second manned space flight a perfect success that will improve national unity after the spacecraft and two astronauts aboard returned safely to Earth. The Shenzhou 6 spacecraft spent five days in orbit while astronauts performed tests which China says will improve its future space exploration efforts.
A celebration of national pride swept the country as the Shenzhou 6 spacecraft touched down safely early Monday in Inner Mongolia Province.
Speaking hours after the landing, the director of the Manned Space Engineering Office, Tang Xianming, said the success demonstrates China is among the best in the world in science and technology.
“We believe this great achievement will inspire greater patriotic passion(爱国热情), national pride and unity, stimulate（激发）our enthusiasm for scientific exploration and creation, advance a giant leap in science for our country, improve China’s overall national strength, and achieve the prosperity of the whole Chinese nation,” said Tang Xianming.
He said China hopes to train female astronauts in the future and to build a space station, but the next step is a space walk by 2007.
State media quoted China’s top legislator, Wu Bangguo, as saying the mission's success would improve China's international status and national strength and help to mobilize(调动) people around the Communist Party.
Officials say the mission also will boost China’s commercial satellite launching business as confidence in its rockets increases.
China’s second manned space launch comes two years after it first sent a man into orbit, joining the former Soviet Union and the United States as the only countries to have sent people into space. Both did so more than 40 years ago.
45. Which of the following is TRUE about the Shenzhou 6 spacecraft?
A. It landed safely in Mongolia.
B. It is China’s second successful launch of manned spacecraft.
C. One of the astronauts is a female.
D. The astronauts did a space walk.
46. The success will contribute to the following EXCEPT ______.
A. the demonstration of China’s highly developed science and technology
B. the improvement of China’s status in the world
C. the unity of the nation around the Communist Party
D. the boost of China’s national and international trade
47. China is ______ country that has launched manned spacecraft.
A. the only B. the first C. the second D. the third
48. Where can you most probably find this passage?
A. In a research paper
B. In a history book.
C. In a newspaper.
D. In a textbook.
C
Last week, I bought an alarm system for about $ 450. It consisted of a control unit with three small units. I put the control unit in the sitting-room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 4, 9 and 1, the last three numbers of our telephone number.
Now I must explain how the alarm works:
l There is a power siren(警报器) in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.
l Each of the small units sends out beams or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal to the control unit. The siren makes a noise which you can hear 50 meters away.
l When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work.
That night I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar(夜贼) could get into our house.
However, at about 2:10 a. m., I woke up and heard the siren.
“There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said. “What shall we do?”
“I’ll go and see who’s there,” I said. “Stay here. Don’t make a noise.”
I went downstairs quietly. When I reached the living-room, I switched on my torch and looked round the room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, reset the alarm and went back to bed.
About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch. “Hey! Wait a minute!” I whispered. “It’s only me. I’m going downstairs to see what’s wrong.”
I went down into the living-room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear was the siren. I turned on the light and then switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard(a kind of small animal) disappear behind the curtains.
“Oh!” I said to myself. “That’s our burglar. ”
When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed that the alarm had been made in Europe, where there are no house lizards.
Well. I won’t finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know. I’ll send you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar.
49. The writer bought an alarm system to ________.
A. make sure that he got up early every day
B. warn him when there were lizards in his house
C. frighten burglars and tell him that somebody had got into the house
D. make Mary feel safe to live in the large room
50. The purpose of the three units was to________.
A. send a message to the control unit and start the siren
B. sound their own sirens when the control unit told them so
C. check that the control unit worked properly all the time
D. give them enough light
51. If the writer set the alarm and remained in the room for more than half a minute, _______.
A. nothing would happen
B. the control unit would not work
C. the siren would make a noise
D. the dog would bark
52. The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is to _______
A. tell us that the alarm system doesn’t work
B. tell us an interesting experience
C. show us how the alarm system works
D. make it clear that he wants to give away his alarm system
D
