Directions: There are two passages below. Each of the passages is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.（20%）
（1）Fast reading（10%）
Similarly, Einstein would not let go a problem unsolved, he would keep at it. He could concentrate on his work with such single-mindedness and for such long hours that it was surprising. When tackling a problem which was difficult to solve, he attacked it as an animal chases and frightens another animal it preys upon.
His engrossment in ideas was incredibly intense and deep. When attacking a problem difficult to solve, he kept attempting to deal with it with great effort, just as an animal chases and bites a weaker animal it preys upon until the latter gives in.
Even when he was thinking hard on a difficult problem, Einstein would still appear to be calm and relaxed with no facial signs showing he was thinking hard --- only calm and untroubled streams of thought going on in his mind.
He would look lost in thought, thinking about something distant, and yet meditating within himself. He did not seem to be in deep thought, nor did he knit his brows --- he was just in self-contained peaceful contemplation.
As a simple man, Einstein takes it that beauty exists in the Universe. Such beauty is natural, pure, and simple. Beauty found is even greater and more admirable than beauty created.
Science is like a house of cards, with concepts like time and space at the lowest level. Tampering with time brought most of the house tumbling down, and it was this that made Einstein’s work so important --- and controversial.
Einstein’s work, performed quietly with pencil and paper, seemed remote from the turmoil of everyday life. But his ideas were so revolutionary they caused violent controversy and irrational anger.
1. What, according to the author, is Einstein’s most outstanding trait as a scientist?
A. Einstein’s most outstanding trait as a scientist is his concentration on his work.
B. quietly with pencil and paper
C. caused violent controversy
D. seemed remote from the turmoil
2. Why did Einstein insist on working hard when he was so badly shaken by his wife’s death?
A. Because hard work can divert h is attention away from his wife’s death.
B. a simple man
C. Beauty found
D. like time and space
3. Summarize this paragraph.--- difficult to describe Einstein; simplicity about himself and about the world, but deeper beauty.
A. simplicity
B. quiet
C. kind
D. angry
4. At the beginning of the article, Hoffmann chooses the word ‘simplicity’ to convey what he thinks is the essence of Einstein. And ‘simplicity’ is emphasized at the end of the writing. What is the writing skill of the text?
A. echo
B. Contrast
C. rendering
D. lyric
5. What was the treatment Einstein received from the Nazis?
A. false theories
B. property deprived of
C. reward for his capture or death
D. All above
Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.
In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And m any of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.
When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of
dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).
The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”
Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.
6. According to the report,______.
A. many short sleepers need less sleep by nature
B. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their work
C. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day
D. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood
7. Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that _____.
A. sleep is a withdrawal from the reality
B. sleep interferes with their sound judgments
C. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine program
D. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles
8. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers _____.
A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of life
B. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleep
C. do not know how to relax properly
D. are more unlikely to run into mental problems
9. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might ____.
A. appear disturbed
B. become energetic
C. feel dissatisfied
D. be extremely depressed
10. Which of the following is Not included in the passage?
A. If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened
B. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the sane as those shown by many mental patients
C. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep
D. Short sleepers would be better off with more rest

练习1：什么是考试信度？什么是考试效度？两者之间存在怎样一种关系？试举例说明。

答：1.考试信度,是指考试测量其所要测量的东西前后一致的程度。

考试信度简单的说就是考分的一致性。

着重强调测验结果的可靠性、稳定性，即测验结果是否反映了被测者的稳定的、一贯性的真实特性。

2.考试效度更多地反映出考试者预期目的语被测试者实际完成任务之间的关系，考试效度的各个方面：表面效度、内容效度、结构效度、关联效度都涉及到了被测试者的情况。

它更多地试图探索教师的“教”与学生的“学”的一种直接关系，具有很强的现实意义。

3.两者之间的关系：考试信度与考试效度体现一种既各有侧重、又相辅相成、密切联系的关系。

考试信度侧重于考试考分的一致性，考试效度则强调考试达到其预期测试意图的程度。

考试的高效度只能以考试的高信度为基础。

离开信度，效度就无法实现。

同时唯有充分考虑到了影响效度的因素，才会有效地增加考试的信度值，否则信度也就失去了实际意义。

练习2：以下是一个班级的期末考试成绩，计算其频数分布、平均分、中位数、众数、全距和标准差。

57，62，62，66, 68, 69, 69, 70，70, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73，75, 76, 77, 77,
77, 77, 80, 80, 80, 81, 81, 82, 83, 85, 85, 91
然后根据所得的平均分、中位数和众数对分数分布状况做粗略判断：位于班级平均分以上的分数是多还是少。

答：1.频数分布：频数分布的定义：在分组的基础上，把总体的所有单位按组归并排列，形成总体中各个单位在各组间的分布，称为频数分布。

取组距为5，所有数据可分7组：[57,62)，[62,67)，[67,82)，[82,87)，[87,92)，
频数分布如下图：
2．平均分：各个数相加的和，再除以数的个数。

根据题意，各个数加起来为2239，除于30，得74.63.
3.中位数：是位于中间的值，若个数是奇数，中间那个就是中位数。

若个数是偶数，中间两个数的平均值是中位数。

由于是偶数个，所以本题的中位数为75.5
4、众数：出现频率最高的数值，所以本题出现最多的是77
5.全句组距的含义：每组的最高数值与最低数值之间的距离。

全局就是极差。

最直接的方法是最大值减去最小值。

6.标准差：标准差是用来反映一个估计值的可能变动范围。

先求平均数，再用每项减去平均数，再平方，再加起来。

这个和除以项数。

再开根号。

= 7.52
即（57-74.63）的平方+（62-74.63）的平方+……(91-74.63）的平方，得出结果除于30，再开根，结果为7.52
7. 位于班级平均分以上的分数的有16个，剩下为14个。

所以位于班级平均分以上的分数较多。
