从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Like fingerprints, no two faces are exactly the same. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the characters that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child---even an animal, such as a bird ------ can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell two people apart by how they behave. A person’s personality means the ways in which he acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make him different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing a person’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face, if you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looks like, you would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who is kind, thoughtful, warm, and so on.
There are many words that can be used to describe how a person thinks, feels, and acts. Gordon Allport, a U.S. scientist who studies the human mind, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in human behavior. And many of us use these words to describe different types of people ---- bookworms (书呆子), fools, workaholics(工作狂).
21. According to the passage, a very young child can _______.
A. learn to recognize faces
B. describe how a person thinks
C. learn to recognize fingerprints
D. describe what a “nice person” is like
22. According to the passage, we can tell two people apart by ________.
A. their behavior
B. their names
C. their hands
D. their clothes
23. Describing a “nice face” _________.
A. is quite easy
B. is a difficult task
C. is not as difficult as describing a “nice person”
D. may remind you of someone who was kind, thoughtful and friendly
24. It can be concluded from the passage that _________.
A. a “nice person” is very complex
B. it’s hard to describe a “nice person”
C. a “nice person” is considerate and kind
D. when we tell one person from another, we often refer to their face
25. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Gordon Allport?
A. He describes himself as a bookworm.
B. He does research on the human mind.
C. He found about 18,000 English words to describe human behavior.
D. The words he found are being used by many people to describe a person.
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Although April did not bring the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the atmospheric (大气的) sound and lightning that can accompany those rains, it is still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.
The reason that these that these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, did you know that the lighting we see flashing(闪烁) down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes cheat us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way round. But then, if we believe only what we think we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.
Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between the earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on the earth every second.
Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashes reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval between the flash and the crash to learn how close they are to the actual spark.
26. According to the first paragraph, in the Central Valley area, rains come _____.
A. when it is April B. when the field is dry
C. when people all hope for it D. usually without thunder and lighting
27. We tend to think that lighting moves downward because_____.
A. our eyes play a joke on us B. we take it to be true scientifically
C. we cannot see it clearly most of the time D. it always runs down from a cloud to the earth
28. Which of the following is NOT true about lighting according to the passage?
A. Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud.
B. About 2,000 thunderstorms occur above the earth every minute.
C. People can seldom see lightning flashes running between two clouds or between the earth and a cloud.
D. The thunderstorms happening above the earth can provide enough power to produce about 100 lightning strikes every second.
29. What does the word “ spark” in the last paragraph probably refer to ?
A. Cloud B. Rain C. Thunderstorm D. Lightning flash
30. What does the passage imply?
A. Seeing is believing.
B. We should never trust what we see or hear.
C. People may easily make mistakes in their understanding of nature.
D. Children sometimes know more about nature than their parents do.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The year at an American college is divided into 2 semesters or 3 quarters. Semesters are 15 weeks; quarters are 10 weeks. American college students usually attend school from September to May. They can also study during the summer.
Students choose their classes a few weeks before the start of each term. Universities offer a great many classes in the students’ main area of study and in other areas as well. Students must take both. These include science, mathematics, computer, history and English. Other classes may be just for fun, like dance, theater or sports. Tests usually are given in the middle of the term and at the end. The final examinations are extremely important. In some classes, the professor asks the students to write a research paper or complete a certain task instead of taking a test.
Classes usually are organized through lectures. For example, a student may attend 2 or 3 lectures a week by the professor. As many as several hundred students sit at each lecture. Sometimes they also attend a smaller class to ask questions and discuss what the professor says. These small classes are taught by professor’s assistants. In science classes, students also have a long laboratory class each week.
31.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Semesters are 15 weeks and quarters are 10 weeks.
B. American students can also study during the summer.
C. American students attend school from autumn to summer.
D. The year at an American college is divided into 2 semesters or 3quarters.

将下列短文已成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”
“When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy (妒忌) my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And is we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.”
Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy (小伙子)”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.参考答案

任何年龄的人都可能犯错误。我们犯的错误有时是在钱方面，但多数错误则是与有关。“我和海伦分手，杰瑞是否真的在意?” “我有了这份好工作，作为朋友，吉米是否真的高兴?还是他会妒忌我的好运?” 当我们回过头来看已经发生的事时，像这样的疑问会使我们感觉心情不好。但此时回想，为时已晚。
有时候人们说的话隐藏了他们真实的含义。如果我们没能仔细听，就无法感受话语之外的意思。假设某个人告诉你说：“你是个幸运的家伙。”他真是站在你一边赞扬你吗?如果他说：“你是个幸运的小伙子。” 这是对你表示友好。但是“幸运的家伙”这句话时友好吗?这些词语中就有妒忌的含义。他可能想说的是他认为你不该如此幸运。
