第2题：
EXTENDED FAMILY In an extended family, all the people share one household. Apart from parents and children, there may be other family members grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. That is to say, a large family may have more than two generations, and often there are more than two adults from different generations of a family. The family members live together for many reasons. They may help to bring up children or to take care of an ill relative. They may also help with saving money. Sometimes children are brought up by their grandparents, for their parents have died or can never take care of them. Many grandparents look after the children,particularly when both parents are busy working. This large family is called extended family. It can be found all over the world. The number of these families has increased by 40 percent in the past ten years. Most of such families live happily together.

第3题：
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 well-known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1937), concluded from other men's work and his own among people 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 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. Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!
1). Huntington based his conclusions on ___________.
A. work with people in different climates
B. records of temperature changes
C. records of change in his own intelligence
D. all of the above
2). Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _________.
A. a great effect on everyone's intelligence
B. no effect on people's intelligence
C. effect on only a few people's intelligence
D. some effect on most people's intelligence
3). One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ___________.
A. there are some things making all nature different from before
B. it is neither too warm nor too cold
C. it is more natural for the development of mental abilities
D. it lasts longer than the other seasons
4). The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _____________.
A. winter and summer
B. fall and winter
C. spring and fall
D. summer and spring
5). According to the passage above, vacations from thinking should be taken ___________.
A. as seldom as possible
B. during spring and fall
C. several times throughout the year
D. during the summer

第5题：
Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to protnote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.
In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.
Within a society, social changes is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp difference. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.
One of the factors that tend to promote social change is__________.A.joint interest
B.different points of view
C.less emotional people
D.advanced technology答案：B解析：根据第一段“The simple reasonforthisisthatthere aremore differentways oflooking atthings．．．There are more ideas．．．In addition，there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies…A儿these factors tend to promote social change”可知，有很多因素能推动社会变革．B项是其中一个因素。 -

Approaches to Understanding Intelligences
It pays to be smart,but we are not all smart in the same way.You may be a talented musician,but you might not be a good reader.Each of us is different.
Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abilities.Psychologists have two different views on intelligence.Some believe there is one general intelligence.Others believe there are many different intelligences.
Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured with IQ tests.These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests.They do well on tests using words,numbers,or pictures.They do well on individual or group tests,and written or oral tests.Those who do poorly on one test,do the same on all tests.
Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence.The brains of intelligent people use less energy during problem solving.The brain waves of people with higher intelligence show a quicker reaction.Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from differences in the speed and effectiveness of information processing by the brain.
Howard Gardner,a psychologist at the Harvard School of Education,has four children.He believes that all children are different and shouldn't be tested by one intelligence test.Although Gardner believes general intelligence exists,he doesn't think it tells much about the talents of a person outside of formal schooling.He thinks that the human mind has different intelligences.These intelligences allow us to solve the kinds of problems we are presented with in life.Each of us has different abilities within these intelligences.Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.
Gardner says that his theory is based on biology.For example,when one part of the brain is injured, other parts of the brain still work.People who cannot talk because of brain damage can still sing.So,there is not just one intelligence to lose.Gardner has identified 8 different kinds of intelligence:linguistic, mathematical, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal,body-kinesthetic （身体动觉的）, and naturalistic.Which of the following statements is true concerning general intelligence?
A:People doing well on one type of intelligence test do well on other tests.
B:Most intelligent people do well on some intelligence tests.
C:Intelligent people do not do well on group tests.
D:Intelligent people do better on written tests than on oral tests.答案：A解析：本文主要讲述了心理学家们对如何理解智力的不同见解，提出了对智力理解的两种观点——一般智力和多种智力，以及Gardner对智力的观点和看法。
文章标题即为理解智力的方式。第二段也明确地表明心理学家对于智力、天赋以及个人能力的观点各抒己见。对此主要有两种不同观点，一些人认为只有一种普遍存在的智力，还有一些人认为存在许多不同种类的智力。故选C。
由文章第三段第二句话“…concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests.”可知，坚持一般智力观点的一些心理学家认为，做好一类智力测试的人同样能做好其他测试。故选A。
根据第五段第二句话“He believes that all children are different and shouldn' t he tested by one intelligence test.”可知，Gardner相信所有的孩子都是不同的，不应该用同一种测试来检测他们的智力，也就是说他认为孩子们的智力各不相同。故选D。
由文章第五段最后一句话“Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.”可知，Gardner认为学校的目标应该是鼓励孩子们全方位地开发智力。故选A。
由文章第六段第一句话“Gardner says that his theory is based on biology.”可知，Gardner 的理论有生物学的基础。故选B。 -

Personality and Career
1.When you select your career,there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position.If you ignore your personality,it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay.There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job.
2. There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy.Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
3.Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them,but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life,you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often.Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
4.There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer,while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day.Again,these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
5.Some people prefer a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly to being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately.
6.Anyway,these are a great starting point for you.I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love.It may take you a little longer,but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.If you like a lot of human interaction,you may________.
A:find a job with many elements of change
B:try different areas and fields
C:consider your skills and personality
D:prefer a smaller setting

Some Things We Know About Language
Many things about language are a mystery,and many will always remain so.But some things we do know.
First , we know that all human beings have a language of some sort.There is no race（种族）of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language,no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another.Furthermore,in historical times,there has never been a race of men without a language. Second,there is no such thing as a primitive（原始的）language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped,who are,as we say,uncivilized,but the languages they speak are not primitive.In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood;indeed,the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate.Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises.Study has proved this to be nonsense.There are,or were, hundreds of American Indian languages,and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old.They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with,but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.
A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate.That is,each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language. Finally,we know that language changes.It is natural and normal for language to change;the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language.Grammatical features change as do speech sounds,and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly.Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A:A language is a means of expressing a particular culture.
B:All languages can well express their respective cultures.
C:American Indian languages are as complex as English.
D:Some languages are better than others.答案：D解析：根据第二段第一句中的“First"，第三段第一句中的“second，第五段第一句中的“Athird thing"，以及第六段第一句中“Finally”可知，作者主要从四个方面来淦释语言的特征。
根据第三段最后一句可知，所有已知的语言无不经过了数万年的充分发展。
第四段第一句中的“This”指的就是第三段所诊释的内容，再结合第三段第一句" Second , there is no such thing as a primitive language.”可知，A项正确。
由第五段可知，A、B两项表述正确。根据第四段最后一句可知，作者认为不同的语言没有发展水平上的差别，美国的印第安语和英语一样复杂，故C项表述正确，D项表述不正确。
根据第六段最后一句可知，词汇是所有语言中最不稳定的部分，即它最容易发生变化。 -

单选题Passage1Laziness is a sin，everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be paralyzed by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals or fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever "lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating-rescheduling their day.Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators, some people may look lazy when they are really thinking, planning, contemplating, researching. We should all remember that great scientific discoveries occurred by chance. Newton wasn't working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy"were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being lazy that is, taking time off for a rest is good for the overworked students or executive.Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard or the doctor who's simply working himself overtime too many evenings at the clinic. So be careful when you' re tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, and planning his or her next book.We can learn from the passage that_______.Alaziness is a disease
Blaziness is more beneficial than harmful
Ca good definition of laziness is emotional illness

【录音原文】
The five million dollar prize financed by the African businessman Mo Ibrahim is designed to encourage better leadership on a continent where until recently dictators were almost the norm. The former leader of Mozambique, Joaquim Chissano, won the award because he steered his country out of civil war and oversaw the introduction of multi-party democracy. Mozambique, which is sandwiched between South Africa and the Indian Ocean, also plays a key role in the downfall of the white supremacist apartheid regime in South Africa. Mr. Chissano wasn’t at the ceremony in London where the prize was announced, but I met him in Mozambique a few weeks ago. When I asked him what he would do with five million dollars, he laughed and said, “I wouldn’t be shy. I would live better and also help those around me. ”
