第1题：
When we talk about intelligence we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows to do.
For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can do, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it all works out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook in life, a special feeling about life, and a special way of how he fits into it.
If you look at children, you’ll see a great difference between what we call ”bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life—he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general
1、According to this passage, intelligence is the ability to______.
A、work by oneself do well in any
B、situation
C、know what is right and wrong
D、adapt oneself to a new situation
2、In a new situation, an intelligent person ____________.
A、knows more about what might happen to him
B、is well-prepared for his action
C、pays greater attention to the situation
D、completely ignores himself
3、If an intelligent person failed, he would ________
A、feel ashamed about the failure
B、learn from his experiences
C、find out what he can’t do
D、make sure what’s wrong with
his outlook in life
4、An intelligent child ________
A、learns more about himself
B、shows interest in things around him
C、studies everything that may be interesting
D、looks down upon unintelligent children
5、Why does an unintelligent child seem to have a wall between him and life in general?
A、Because he can hardly see the outside world.
B、Because life is far away from him.
C、Because he knows nothing about life in general.
D、Because he has little interest in things around himself.

第4题：
Text l Recently,the Washington Post published a survey conducted with the Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University on the U.S.economy.Although black and Hispanic families were hurt by the Great Recession,it was the"non-college whites"who held the darkest view of the country.These men used to be the backbone ofan economy built by brawn and rooted in manufacturing jobs.But now,nostalgic and despondcnt in equal measure,more than half said that America's best days were past,and 43 percent said"hard work and determination are no_guarantees of success."lf good,steady,well-paying work is the key to any person's economic satisfaction,there are scveral reasons to be nervous about the upcoming generation.Since 2000,the labor-force participation rate of young men undcr the age of 35 without a college degree has declined more than any other age-and-gender group.Since the turn of the century,the participation rate of 16-to-24-year olds with just a high-school degrce has fallen IO points to about 70 percent.Some of this drop is attributable to rising college attendance.But not all ofit.Nine percent ofAmericans between 20 and 24 are neither in school,work,or training.For the first time since at least the 1940s,young men are more likely to be living with their parents than with romantic partners.It's not the cost ofcollege or the weight of student loans alone that is forcing young people to stay home.Young adults without a high-school or college degree are far more likely to live with their parents.For young black men,this trend is hardly new;even in 1980s,they were more likely to live with their parents than with a spouse or girlfriend.As for what they're doing all day,Erik Hurst,an economist at the University of Chicago,is now conducting research that suggests that non-college men who aren't in the labor market are spending a considerable amount of their time in front of screens.Detached from the labor force,with neither a college degree nor a steady job,these men have little income.But the technological revolution in media and entertainment of the last few decades has made it cheaper than ever to divert oneself on a phone,computer,television,or video-game console.Cheap and abundant entertainment anesthetizes less-skilled and Iess-educated young men in the present.But in the long run,it cuts them off from the same things that provide meaning in middle age,according to psychological and longitudinal studies-a career,a family,and a sense of accomplishment.22.Which ofthe following is true ofAmerican young men?A.More than half of young men under the age of 24 drop out of school.
B.College attendance has rose by 10 percent since the tum of the century.
C.Young men under the age of 35 cannot find jobs without a college degree
D.Most Americans between 20 and 24 are in school or work:ing.答案：D解析：事实细节题。第二段最后一句提到，“9%的20岁到24岁的美国年轻人，既不是在上学、工作，也不是在接受培训”，故可推断出大多数这一年龄段的美国人都在上学或工作，故D项正确。【干扰排除】A项“24岁以下的年轻人中，有超过一半的人辍学”在文中没有提到；B项“自世纪之交以来，大学入学人数已上升10%”，第二段提到“只有高中学历的人的参与率下降了10个点，降至70%左右”，并不是说大学入学人数上升了10%，故不能推断出B项；文中只提到，35岁以下且没有大学文凭的年轻人的劳动力参与率下降得更快，但他们不是完全找不到工作，故C项错误。 -
第5题：
Text 3 How long is too long for young adults to live at home after college?In a recent survey by TD Ameritrade,teenagers on average said it would become embarrassing to still be living at home at age 26.Young adults aging 20 t0 26-probably because they've already been out in the real world-thought the cutoff should be 28,But 27 percent of those surveyed said they wouldn't be ashamed to be living at home even in their thirties or so.Here's the reality:Nearly half of post-college millennials have moved back home.Wages are stagnant,and many graduates with debt find it's hard to live on their own.Survey participants said their debt is causing them to delay saving for retirement,buying a home,getting married and having children.Twenty percent said the education they received wasn't worth the debt they accumulated."ln many cases,people view young adults moving back home as a sign that they were lazy or not doing things'right,'"said J.J.Kinahan,chief strategist at TD Ameritrade."But many people doing it are being fiscally responsible."I've long advocated for young adults graduating with burdensome debt to move back home if they can.I'll go even further.College graduates should make every effort to find a job in the area where their parents live or another relative or friend is nearby.And in exchange for rent-frce living,they should pledge to extinguish as much of their student-loan debt as they can.You may think that living at home is an improper failure to launch or that it delays the all-important lesson of learning to be independent.But may I suggest we all make an effort to remove the stigma of young adults returning home as a financial embarrassment?It is not,especially if parents allowed or encouraged a student to attend a college that necessitated some heavy borrowing.Soon-to-be graduates often ask me for advice on how to pay off their student loans.Some don't even know how much they owe.But they know it's more than they can comfortably handle on their starting salaries.What they're really asking for is a miracle.They ask hoping there's some get-out-of-debt-free card.Although there is a public service debt forgiveness program for borrowers working for the govemment or a not-for-profit group,the vast majority of borrowers won't get the relief they seek.31.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph l?A.Most ofthe young adults want to live at their parents'home.
B.Teenagers wish to move back home at 28.
C.Some young adults still consider living at home an acceptable option.
D.None of the young adults feel embarrassed to be living at home.答案：C解析：推理判断题。第一段最后一句提到“但是，27%的受调查者说即便30岁左右还生活在家里，也不会感到不好意思”，故选C项。【干扰排除】A项，文章第一段并没有提到有多少年轻人想住父母家，可排除；B项，文章中提到数字28的句子大意是，20至26岁之间的成年人认为在28岁时应当脱离家庭．B项信息刚好与文章内容相反，故排除；D项，文章第一段第二句提到“亚美利交易控股公司最近的一项调查发现，大多数青少年表示到了26岁还生活在家里的话会有些尴尬”．D项巾的None说法太绝对了，故排除。 -

第12题：
问答题Practice 8 For most people the word “education” means “school” and “school” conjures up an image of a building with classrooms. But what do people think of when they hear “literacy programmes”? Probably nothing. Living in illiteracy is such an unknown-even a little mysterious-experience. Yet today nearly a billion people are illiterate, not to mendon the 113 million school-aged children who do not attend school. Wonderful progress has been made during the last half of the twentieth century in the field of education. But still the number of adult illiterates, particularly women, rises. This is now the challenge of the twenty-first century-the thorn in the side of efforts to achieve Education for All (EFA). It has become clear that Education for All cannot be possible without Literacy for All. However, tremendous strides have been made in literacy. How has this been possible? Who brought it about? The people behind literacy efforts must be congratulated for working against all odds to bring about this achievement. But where are they? Who are they? What are their tasks like? And their problems, challenges and rewards? What inspires them? What conditions do they work and live under?正确答案： 【参考译文】
对大部分人来说,“教育”就意味着“学校”,而一提到“学校”,他们想到的就是大楼里一间间的教室。但当听到“扫盲计划”的时候,他们会想到什么呢?也许什么也没有。
文盲是怎样生活的?我们不知道;对我们来说,甚至还会感到有些神秘。但即使在今天,世界上还有10亿文盲,这个数字还不包括1. 13亿失学的学龄儿童。当然,20世纪后半叶,教育领域已取得了长足的进步。但成人文盲的人数,尤其是妇女文盲的人数却增加了。这是对21世纪的挑战——对我们实现“全民教育”计划的努力,无疑也是一个巨大的障碍。非常明显,没有“全民扫盲”,就不会有“全民教育”。
当然,扫盲工作已取得了巨大的成就。那么,这些成就是怎么取得的呢?是谁作出了这些成就的?我们必须赞扬那些为扫盲工作做出贡献的人,他们克服了种种困难才取得了这些成就。那么,他们这些人在哪儿呢?他们又是谁?他们是怎样工作的?他们会遇到些什么样的问题扣挑战?他们能取得多少报酬?是什么激励他们从事扫盲工作的?他们的工作条件和生活条件又是什么样的? 解析： 暂无解析 -

B.lack of romantic partners to share the rent of apartments.
C.hardly new trend to live with parents rather than partners.
D.young adults'difficulty in findingjobs without a college degree.答案：D解析：推理判断题。文章第二段提到没有大学文凭的年轻人很难找到工作，第三段继续说年轻人更有可能和父母住在一起，所以可以推断年轻人和父母住在一起的原因是D项“年轻人没有大学文凭很难找到工作”，故D项正确。【干扰排除】第三段第二句提到“并不是大学的花销或学生贷款的压力迫使年轻人待在家里”，故A项错误；文中没有提到B项“没有恋爱对象来分摊公寓的租金”，故B项错误；C项“和父母一起生活”对年轻的黑人来说早就存在，但不是对所有年轻人来说都存在，故C项错误。 -

单选题In the 2nd paragraph, “those who don’t fit the pattern” refers to______.Ahigh school graduates who aren’t suitable for college education
Bcollege graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxis
Ccollege students who aren’t any better for their higher education
Dhigh school graduates who failed to be admitted to college
正确答案： C解析：
fit the pattern意为“符合这个模式”，结合上下文可知人们心目中高等教育的模式指的是“college will help them earn more money，become ‘better’ people，and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.”，所以那些“不符合这个模式的人”没有很高的收入、没有更有教养或更有责任感，是那些接受了高等教育却没有任何进步的人，故C项正确。 -
