You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other men‘s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a different effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man‘s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.31.According to this passage, your intelligence probably _______.A) stays the same throughout the yearB) varies from day to dayC) changes with the seasonsD) changes from year to year32.Ellworth Huntington drew the conclusion that climate and temperature have _______.A) a great effect on everyone‘s intelligenceB) some effect on most people‘s intelligenceC) some effect on a few persons‘ intelligen ceD) no effect on most people‘s intelligence33.It seems that the cold winter ______.A) is the worst season for thinkingB) is the best time for thinkingC) is better for thinking than in very warm weatherD) increases the ability to think34.One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ______.A) all nature, including man, is growing thenB) it lasts longer than the other seasonsC) it is cooler than the other seasonsD) both B and C35.According to the passage, any vacations from thinking should be taken ______.A) several times throughout the yearB) during spring and fallC) as seldom as possibleD) during the summerQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see the beauties of the countryside. This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.In 1907, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory (宿舍) for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle (城堡) nearby. This was the first Youth Hostel.Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each other. When young people arrive at a hostel, they have only to show their card of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permit them to use the facilities (设备) in hostels all over the world for a very low price.Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or the world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal, with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just by meeting people who come from those places. For this reason, a few weeks spent "hosteling" can be just as useful a part of one's education as classes in school.36. The word "hostel" is closest in meaning to _____.A) school B) schoolhouse C) hospital D) dormitory37. The first youth hostel was opened in _____.A) America B) Australia C) Europe D) Asia38. The price of hostels was low because _____.A) people brought their own equipmentB) the hostels were in old buildingsC) an old castle did not cost anythingD) hostels received money from the government39. According to the passage, young people can pay less for their stay in a hostel if they _____.A) arrive early enoughB) have enough equipmentC) have a card of membership in the hostel where they are stayingD) have a card of membership in the hostels of their country40. From the passage we may see that hostels are important mainly because they _____.A) do not cost very muchB) are nice places to spend the nightC) get people from different places to meet each otherD) offer good serviceQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected---much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities. Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize American schools," he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."41. This year _____teen-agers will take part in the exchange program between America and othercountries.A) twenty three hundred B) thirteen hundredC) over three thousand D) less than two thousand42.
