Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .

Passage 1

Throughout the world, boys and girls prefer to play with different types of toys. Boys typically like to play with cars and trucks, while girls typically choose to play with dolls. Why is this? A traditional sociological explanation is that boys and girls are socialized and encouraged to play with different types of toys by their parents, peers, and the “society”. Growing scientific evidence suggests, however, that boys? and girls? toy preferences may have a biological origin.

In 2002, Gerianne M. Alexander of Texas A&M University and Melissa Hines of City University in London surprised the scientific world by showing that monkeys showed the same sextypical toy preferences as humans. In the study, Alexander and Hines gave two masculine toys (a ball and a police car), two feminine toys (a soft doll and a cooking pot), and two neutral toys (a picture book and a stuffed dog) to 44 male and 44 female monkeys. They then assessed the monkeys? preference for each toy by measuring how much time they spent with each. Their data showed that male monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the masculine toys, and the female monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the feminine toys. The two sexes did not differ in their preference for the neutral toys.

If children? s toy preferences were largely formed by gender socialization, as traditional sociologists? claim, in which their parents give “genderappropriate” toys to boys and girls, how can these male and female monkeys have the same preferences as boys and girls？They were never socialized by humans, and they had never seen these toys before in their lives.

61．Traditional sociologists believe boys? and girls? toy preferences ________. A. are passed down from their parents B. have a biological origin

C. have nothing to do with gender socialization D. are largely formed in later life

62．The study by Alexander and Hines shows that monkeys________. A. also play toys as humans do

B. also have a sextypical toy preference C. have no toy preferences

63．Alexander and Hines carried out the study to ________. A. find out why boys and girls prefer different toys B. test the intelligence of monkeys

C. test whether monkeys like to play toys

D. find more evidence for traditional sociology

64．According to the study, if given a stuffed dog, ________.

Passage 2

When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a hightech job — but he couldn?t balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip，” says the 45yearold father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement.”

One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us avoid investing because we just don?t get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn?t understand this stuff，” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (能手) I knew to explain things to me.”

He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars，cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they went for an expensive vacation. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.

Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, ?I need to refinance my house — what should I do? ?A lot of times，I wouldn?t know the answer, but I?d go to find it and learn something in the process，” he says.

In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars (研讨会) for employees of corporations like WalMart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it?s paid off: He now owns $ 30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.

“I was an engineer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little selfeducation，” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”

66. When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he________. A. couldn?t balance his work and life

B. made up his mind to become a millionaire C. didn?t know how to manage his money D. often went to banks to borrow money

67. The underlined part “live below their means” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “________”．

A. take effective measures B. live a miserable life

C. spend more money than they had D. spend less money than they had

68. Since Steve Maxwell became a millionaire, he________. A. has been unwilling to help others B. hasn?t stopped learning from practice C. has been willing to follow others? advice D. has stopped to invest in houses

69. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A selfmade engineer

B. How to balance your checkbook C. Don?t avoid investing

D. Educate yourself to become a millionaire

70. It can be inferred from the passage that________. A. selfeducation is very important to one?s life B. everyone should learn how to invest in their life

C. Steve Maxwell was quite interested in finance classes in college D. Steve became rich because he saved every penny he had earned
