Any amount of noise in the flat quite failed to wake him up if he was sound asleep. If they even rushed into his room shouting his name to the skies, the sleeping Watson would not move. Even so, they were surprised and amused when he told them about his holiday in Norfolk. He had spent nearly a week riding a bike slowly round the long coastline, sight-seeing by day and camping out each night in a different place. He slept in a sleeping bag in a small tent, which he put up usually in a corner of a field near the roadside, with his bike locked ont o one of the tent poles. Well, poor Watson woke up on the fifth morning about ten o’clock and looked about to find not only his bike and the tent pole gone but also the tent and all his clothes. Watson always slept with nothing on, so now he had to walk to the nearest house dressed only in his bed, so to speak, in which he had made two holes for his feet.6.Watson’s one shortcoming was that he____.A. slept a dead sleepB. camped out at nightC. made noise to the skiesD. slept in the field7.In Norfolk, Watson slept in the sleeping bag____.A. which did not belong to himB. he brought with himC. he bought thereD. which he put up8.When Watson woke up, he found____.A. all his clothes were stolen except a short pair of trousersB. everything in the tent was goneC. he was sleeping in the open airD. he had to go to the nearest house with nothing on9.The last sentence of the paragraph tells us that Watson____.A. made two holes and made a long pair of trousers of the sleeping bagB. put his feet out of the bed through the two holes and used the bed as his clothes.C. sent his two feet out because the bed was too small for him to stay inD. made two holes so that he could easily carry the bed to the nearest houseCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists（心理学家） think thatparents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That wa s a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”10. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless11. According to the context we can guess that a genius is ________ while an idiot is ________.A. a normal person; a funny personB. a strong person; a weak personC. a highly i ntelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded personD. a famous person; an ordinary person12. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active useDAmerica is growing older. For fifty years, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the populations will affect aspects of society —education, medicine, housing, and business. The graying of American has made us a very different society — one in which people have quite a different perception (认识) of what kind of behavior is proper at various ages.An adult's age no longer tells you anything about that person's economic or marital status (婚姻状况), lifestyle, or health. There's no longer a particular year, or even a particular decade, in which one gets married or goes to work or goes to school or has children. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to get married, to school, get a job, or retire isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for thefirst time. Public attitudes are changing.Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age." No one says, "Act your age," anymore. We've stopped looking with disagreement at older people who act in youthful ways.13. The best explanation of the expression "acting your age" is ______________.A. acting a part of a play when you are old enoughB. doing the things that people expect you of your age to doC. playing an important role in the society when you are grown upD. working hard and supporting the family when you are an adult14. According to the passage, the population in America is getting older, which will affect all of the following except ______________?A. ho using and businessB. birth rateC. medicineD. education15. Choose the best one to complete the sentence "An adult's age used to tell people something about what person's ______________."A. schooling and interestB. family and housingC. ability to so somethingD. health, lifestyle, economic or marital status第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
