    If you are like most people,your intelligence varies from season to season.You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.A noted scientist,Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1947),concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
    He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat.This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year.It does mean,however,that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
    Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking.One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.

    问答题
    Why does the author dwell upon the concept of science in this article?

    正确答案: He wants to make the concept clear so that people can have the right education.
    解析:
    态度题。作者在文中给出了科学的真正定义,并对此进行了充分的论证,驳斥了很多人对于科学的含混概念。但作者的最终意图并不是要明确科学的概念,他在文中一再提到教育问题,就是不希望错误的科学概念导致教育方向的偏差,故答案为D项。选项A、B、C都不是作者的主要意图,皆可排除。

    Why does the author say at the beginning “The miserable fate of Enron’s employees will be a landmark in business history…”?
    A

    Because the company has gone bankrupt.

    B

    Because such events would never happen again.

    C

    Because many Enron workers lost their retirement savings.

    D

    Because it signifies a turning point in economic security.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    推断题。既然题干中提到“Enron职工的悲惨命运将是商业史上标志性的事件”,可见此事对整个商界产生了巨大的影响。公司的破产或员工失去退休积蓄并不会对整个商界产生影响,而是其产生的影响构成了标志性事件,排除A、C项。文中并未提及这种事情将不再发生,B项说法过于绝对,故排除。从文章第二段可知,20世纪的一个audacious promise就是经济安全:政府的福利制度、劳工组织的保障、以及大企业财团的产生,让职工们普遍认为他们的工作是终身的,并且退休后肯定也有退休金。然而,从第三段开始,作者指出了这个保险体系的decline,以及由此引发的一系列政府、企业等政策的改变,进而最终导致的职工们一无所有的惨状。因此可以说这次事件体现了经济安全方面的转变。故D项符合。

    D

    Harvard had a good reputation in conducting research.


    正确答案: A
