II.Reading comprehension (40%)
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. 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 year
B) varies from day to day
C) changes with the seasons
D) changes from year to year
32.Ellworth Huntington drew the conclusion that climate and temperature have _______.
A) a great effect on everyone‘s intelligence

33.It seems that the cold winter ______.
A) is the worst season for thinking
B) is the best time for thinking
C) is better for thinking than in very warm weather
D) increases the ability to think
34.One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ______.
A) all nature, including man, is growing then
B) it lasts longer than the other seasons
C) it is cooler than the other seasons
D) both B and C
35.According to the passage, any vacations from thinking should be taken ______.
A) several times throughout the year
B) during spring and fall
C) as seldom as possible
D) during the summer
Questions 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) dormitory
37. The first youth hostel was opened in _____.
A) America B) Australia C) Europe D) Asia
38. The price of hostels was low because _____.
A) people brought their own equipment
B) the hostels were in old buildings
C) an old castle did not cost anything
D) hostels received money from the government
39. According to the passage, young people can pay less for their stay in a hostel if they _____.
A) arrive early enough
B) have enough equipment
C) have a card of membership in the hostel where they are staying
D) have a card of membership in the hostels of their country
40. From the passage we may see that hostels are important mainly because they _____.
A) do not cost very much
B) are nice places to spend the night
C) get people from different places to meet each other
D) offer good service
Questions 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 other
countries.
A) twenty three hundred B) thirteen hundred
C) over three thousand D) less than two thousand
42. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____.
A) help teen-ages in other countries know the real America
B) send students in America to travel in Germany
C) let students learn something about other countries
D) have teen-agers learn new languages
43. Fred and Mike agreed that _____.
A) American food tasted better than German food

C) Americans and Germans were both friendly
D) There were more cars on the streets in America
44. What is particular in American schools is that _____.
A) there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
B) there are a lot of after-school activities
C) students usually take fourteen subjects in all
D) students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car
45. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____.

D) the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, an old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child –things that have lost their interest for older people。
