第三节 阅读理解((共15小题，每小题2分；满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.

Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a “nature and nurture”.

Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.

Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B.F.Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans’ respond to environmental stimulus（刺激） as the basis of their behavior.

Socially and politically, the consequences of these two theories are far-reaching. In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites. Behaviorists, on the contrary, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.

Either of these theories cannot yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain. .

A. relation between personality and behavior C. different accounts of patterns of human behavior A. creators

B. advisors

B. relation between behavior and environment

D. different theories of the formation of human behavior C. advocates

D. judges

. .

A. the considerable influence of the two theories C. racial discrimination in the United States 54. What’s the author's purpose in writing the passage? A. To call our attention to the changes of human behavior. B. To urge scientists to do more research in social science.

B. differences between the blacks and whites D. different responds to intelligence tests

C. To give us a detailed explanation of human behavior. D. To present an argument in the field of social science.

B

This is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store I am employed as a shop assistant.

When you took my bag, I don't know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you .I have informed the social security office so you won't be able to cash the child benefit next week .I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be much use to you.

Actually I don't mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash .However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!

I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?

Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn't even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.

I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged（耸）their shoulders.” It happens all the time," they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I've lost just a little more faith in human nature.And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, "Why? Mummy, why us?" I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can.

. A. describe the contents of the bag in detail. C. tell the thieves hardly any money was available 56. Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer? A. The cash in her bag. C. The handbag itself.

57. What can we conclude about the police? A. They have doubts about human nature. C. They think the case quite common. 58. Why does the author write the letter? A. To give the thieves a serious warning. C. To call people’s attention to their belongings.

B. give some suggestions to the three thieves D. state the fact that she was careless with the money B. The papers and notes in the bag. D. The check books in the bag. B. They show sympathy for the woman. D. They are unable to find the thieves. B. To complain about the fall of morality. D. To express her affection for her valuable bag. C

Dear friend,

As the anniversary of your membership approaches, I'd like to express a heartfelt “Thank you" from everyone here at the National Geographic Society for your valuable support. We appreciate having you as a member, which is why we’re asking you for help.

One of the Society's long-standing goals is to keep membership costs as low as possible. To do this, we ask members to post their fees early. This keeps renewal(续订)printing and postage costs down (you save the expense of sending renewal reminders to you repeatedly and help us save paper)and allows us to pass the savings on to you.

Member's cooperation is why we can afford to send you 12 colorful issues of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine at such a low price. As you know, this rate is extraordinarily low for an award-winning publication filled from cover to cover with full-color photographs, pictures and wall maps created by our world-famous photographers.

Plus, your fee helps enrich the world. Part of the payment I hope that you will send today helps support the Society’s research, exploration, and educational projects around the globe. In the past ten years alone, your Society has helped sponsor more than 2, 700 scientific and environmental researches.

And, of course, posting your fee now guarantees that you won’t miss a single issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine. I hope that you’ll commit yourself again to the pleasure that membership brings. Thank you in advance for your early renewal. I' m looking forward to hearing from you.

John Griffin

President, Publishing Department

A. ignore

60. According to the Society, why is it cheaper to renew for two years?

A. The Society is a nonprofit organization. C. The discount is offered for readers' contribution. 61. This letter is intended to ______.

Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves directly to assist a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable prices, thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labour, and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television license would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or tube would cost 20 per cent more.

And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the products and services you buy. Apart from the fact that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the low-quality article more than once. If you see an article consistently advertised, it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it, and that it represents good value.

What’s more, advertising does more for the material benefit of the community than any other force I can think of. There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television personality declare that

B. The Society highly appreciates readers' support. D. It can save the money for renewal reminders and papers.

he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was drawing excessively fine distinctions course advertising seeks to persuade.

If its message were restricted merely to information, which would be difficult to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the colour of a shirt is subtly persuasive, advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants. 62. By the first sentence of the passage the author means that ____. A. he understands the cost of advertising well C. it is worthwhile to spend money on advertising A. forces his own views on the public C. can't tell persuasion from information

B. advertising costs money like everything else D. everyone knows advertising is money consuming B. holds one-sided views on advertising

D. is interested in nothing but the buyers' attention

63. The author thinks that the well-known TV personality ____.

64. Which of the following opinions does the author probably accept? A. There is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading buyers. B. Advertising can prevent low-quality articles from entering markets. C. Advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over. D. Buyers are not interested in getting information from advertisements. 65. What is the passage mainly about? A. Advertising and promotion.

C. Advantages and disadvantages of advertising.

B. Informative function of advertising. D. Benefits of advertising and its characteristics.

第八节 书面表达 Dear Tom

I’m glad that we’re both interested in fantasy novels, since we can now talk much about them. I am writing the letter to share my ideas about it.

Actually, I’ve had an interest in fantasy novels since I was a child. I love them, especially those that are well-written. There’s nothing better than dropping into the pages of a well-written fantasy novel and finding a world of wonder to explore.

I think the plots of good fantasy novels are very odd and entertaining. I usually never know what will happen next. These unexpected plots always excite me. They usually leave a lot to the imagination, which I think will help me develop the ability to create novels of my own.

However, each coin has two sides. It is useful to read a proper amount of fantasy novels, but don’t become addicted to it, or you may not adapt yourself to reality.

Which novels have you been reading recently? Please recommend some to me in your next letter. Best wishes！ Yours, Li Hua
