( ) as your computer has.The simulation, which runs 100 times slower than an actual cat's brain, is more about watching how thoughts are 48.

( ) computers that rely less on structured data, such as 2 plus 1 equals 4, and can handle ambiguity better, like 52. ide( ) the corporate logo even if the image is blurry. Such computers could also incorporate senses such as sight, touch and 53. ( )(hear) into the decisions they make.One reason that development would be 54.

Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.Situated at the heart of Beijing, the Palace Museum is approached through the Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tian'an men). Because of its centrality as well as restricted access, the palace was called The Forbidden City. It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Yongle Emperor who, upon usurping the throne, determined to move his capital northward from Nanjing to Beijing. The Ming dynasty fell to the Manchu Qing in 1644 and in 1911 the Qing dynasty was overthrown by the republican revolutionaries.56. ( )57. ( ) Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west, it covers an area of 1,110,000 square meters. Each of the four sides is pierced by a gate: the Meridian Gate (Wu men) on the south, the Gate of Divine Prowess (Shenwu men) on the north, theEastern and Western Prosperity Gates (Donghua men and Xihua men). Once inside, visitors will see a succession of halls and palaces spreading out on either side of an invisible central axis. The buildings' glowing yellow roofslevitating above vermilion walls is a magnificent sight. The painted ridges and carved beams all contribute to the sumptuous effect.Known as the Outer Court, the southern portion of the Forbidden City centers on three main halls –Hall of Supreme Harmony (Taihedian), Hall of Central Harmony (Zhonghedian), and Hall of Preserving Harmony (Baohedian).58. ( ) Mirroring this arrangement is the Inner Court comprising the northern portion of the Forbidden City. The Inner Court is comprised of not only the residences of the emperor and his consorts but also venues for religious rituals and administrative activities.59. ( ) These were precisely designed in accordance with a code of architectural hierarchy, which designated specific features to reflect the paramount authority and status of the emperor. No ordinary mortal would have been allowed or would even have dared to come within close proximity to these buildings.60. ( ) The collection, displayed in gallery halls throughout the complex, is becoming increasingly more accessible with digital technologies. The Museum's website, established in 2001, is dedicated to presentinga “Digital Palace Museum”by which the wealth of cultural heritage contained in the Forbidden City may be effectively spread worldwide.Questions 56—60Choose from the sentences A ―G the one which best fits each gap of 56 ―60. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A. It was here in the Ourter Court that the emperor held court and conducted grand audiences.B. During nearly six hundred years, twenty-four emperors lived and ruled from this palace.C. In total, the buildings of the two courts account for an area of some 163,000 square meters.D. The Palace Museum's range of publications has created further interest in domains such as the Forbidden City's history, architecture, and vast cultural holdings.E. The Forbidden City is surrounded by 10-metre-high walls and a 52-metre-wide moat.F. Although the Forbidden City used to be an impenetrable fortress, the imperial palace is now a public museum.G. The Museum's administration launched a policy of comprehensive restoration.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.Like people, each country has unique characteristics. Many countries are known by the products they produce. These products are anything from foods and minerals to plants and buildings. Here are whata few countries are known for.Sri Lanka is well known for its Ceylon tea. The country exports more black tea than any other nation. Ceylon was the country's name when it was a British colony. In the 19th century, Sri Lanka was famous for its coffee. But most of its coffee plantations were destroyed by insects in the 1870s. It was during this time Britain started the tea plantations.When people think of Bulgaria, they often say “Rosova Dolina,”which means “the valley of roses.”During the rule of the turkish Empire, the Bulgarian rose became widely popular. Bulgaria produces 80 percent of the world's roses. Bulgaria also produces rose oil and rose perfume. The country even has rose juice. In fact, people long ago believed that the Greek gods gained immortality by drinking elixir made with roses. To make one 500-milliter bottle of rose juice, 50 roses are needed.Ghana's cacao beans were used to make drinks for the rich during ancient times in Central America. Later,a special kind of cacao was brought to Ghana from Brazil in 1824. Known as the porastero cacao, it made up 80-90 percent of all cacao produced. The cacao is flat and dark purple. It has a bitter and sour taste. Ghana's chocolate has also gained international acclaim.It is difficult to say where cheese first came from. What we do know is that the Swiss made cheese long before Jesus was born. Cheese then was used as currency in Switzerland and represented social status and wealth. In the fourth century, cheese was internationally introduced and quickly became popular. There is an unusual story about how fondue came about. Long ago, the Swissliving on the mountains were confined to their homes because ofa large snowstorm. Cheese, wine and bread were the last food they had left. They melted the cheese with wine and ate the bread with it.Farmlands are plentiful in Argentina, so the country can grow many kinds of crops. The crops are used to feed its numerous livestock. The invention of refrigerator ships has made exporting of meats safer and easier. Argentina jumped at the opportunity to increase meat exports. Without refrigerator ships, the meat could get contaminated while travelling long distances.Questions 61—65Answer the following questions according to the passage.61. What was Sri Lanka well known for in 1800s?62. Why do people call Bulgaria “the valley of roses”?63. What does cacao look like?64. When was cheese well known to the world?65. What is Argentina famous for according to the passage?Section C (10 marks)Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.There is a saying in France that states, “The government could fall, the Louvre could be broken into, or aliens could land on earth, but if any of these things happened during the Tour de France, no one would notice.”The Tour de France is the most famous cycling race in the world. The race, which is held in July every year, consists of twenty one -day stages, plus several rest days.The course follows a clockwise route around France, and often neighboring countries, including Luxembourg, Belgium, and Italy. The winner is the rider who completes all twenty stages of the race in the shortest overall time.The Tour de France first started on July 1, 1903, when sixty cyclists left from in front of The Alarm Clock Cafe, just outside of Paris, and rode 467 kilometers to Lyon. The first race consisted of six legs, each of which was about 400 kilometers long. At that time there were no rest days—the winner was the rider who finished the race in the shortest total time. The winner of the first Tour de France, Maurice Garin, the most popular cyclist in France at that time, received 2,000 francs (about $350). It took him 94 hours and 33 minutes to ride all 2,428 kilometers of the race, three hours faster than the runner-up. Over the weeks during which the race was run, the idea of the Tour de France slowly caught on with the people of France. The race has been held every year since that time, except during the years of World Wars I and II.The Tour de France has developed several special honors for which racers compete. Above all, the highest honor is the “yellow jersey”. Henri Desgranges, the founder of the race, introduced the yellow jersey in 1919 to show the leading racer each day of the Tour de France. Each day, the officials who keep track of all of the rider's times compare each rider's total time up to that point. The racer with the lowest overall time wears the yellow jersey during the following day's race. Other honors include the“green jersey”, which is given to the rider who sprints the best by riding the fastest over shortdistances, and the “polka dot jersey”,a white jersey with red dots, for the best rider in the mountains along the route.Over the years of the race, the competitors have gained a reputation for good sportsmanship. For example, ifa lead rider falls off his bike, it is common for the following riders to slow down to allow the fallen rider to catch up. Some watchers are surprised by this, but as German rider Jan Ullrich, who came in runner-up in 2002 after waiting for winner Lance Armstrong, says, Of course I would wait. If I would have won this race by taking advantage of someone's bad luck, then the race was not worth winning.Questions 66—70Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank.The Tour de France is the most famous 66. ( ) race in the world. The race follows a 67. ( ) route around France, and some parts of the race may go into 68. ( ) countries like Belgium and Italy. The race 69.

Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.71. For hundreds of years, the Sphinx attracted people both as a religious monument and as a work of art. But eventually, the desert sand once again covered the Sphinx, leaving only the head visible. It was not until the 1800s that archaeologists began clearing the sand from the statue and began researching the long history of the Sphinx. At last, in the 1920, all of the sand was finally cleared away and restoration work, which continues to this day, was begun.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following paragraph into English.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Do you use the word "like" too much? That question has become a topic of debate among linguists, writers, and speakers of English. "Like" has undergone a remarkable versatility since the 1980s when it began to show up in new, unexpected places and during a broader range of activities. It's not just teenagers who are using "like" this way, either.Some linguists view "like" as a super-common hedge (掩饰话语) used to soften speech, express uncertainty, or clarify the intended meaning. Christopher Snyder, a linguist at Texas A&M University, puts it this way: "Under this view, you are seeking to leave an escape route in case your listener might disagree or ridicule what you are saying." Bruce Fraser, a sociolinguist at Boston University, adds that "like" can also serve to convey solidarity, especially when speakers fall back on it as a common conversational strategy.Despite its prevalence, not everyone is on board with using "like" as a hedge. Some style manuals and experienced writers discourage its frequent use as an oversimplification and a sign of laziness, especially in more formal writing genres. Furthermore, the use of "like" as a filler word is often controversial in public speech forums, such as interviews or speeches.21. According to some linguists, the word "like" is used mainly as a hedge to _______A) stress intentionsB) soften speechC) express certaintyD) criticize others22. According to the passage, who could possibly object to the use of "like" in speech?A) Teenagers.B) Experienced writers.C) Speakers of English.D) Linguists.23. According to Bruce Fraser, "like" indicates solidarity when _______A) it is used among teenagersB) it is overused by adultsC) speakers want to secure their meaningsD) speakers want to show agreement24. The word "hedge" in the passage most likely means_______A) insecurityB) limitationC) way outD) clarification25. The author suggests that using "like" in public speeches may be deemed _____A) informalB) formalC) controversialD) convincingPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Dyslexia is a common reading disorder that hinders the ability to read. It should be noted that dyslexia does not result from vision problems. People with dyslexia have trouble reading accurately and fluently. They may also have difficulty understanding what they read. Dyslexia is not related to intelligence, yet it often creates challenges for students in school. Learning disabilities such as dyslexia result from neurobiological differences in the brain, not differences in intelligence.It is estimated that one in ten people has dyslexia, with varying degrees of severity. While dyslexia is lifelong, individuals can learn to read and write by mastering a variety of learning methods. Early identification and treatment are essential for people with dyslexia to achieve success in school and later in life.Reading difficulties are often evident in early childhood, such as trouble learning nursery rhymes or playing word games. In school, children with dyslexia may struggle to spell, read aloud, or learn new words. As they grow older, students with dyslexia may have difficulty with more complex language skills such as grammar, understanding textbooks, and writing essays.26. According to the passage, dyslexia primarily affects a person's _____A) visionB) intelligenceC) reading abilityD) listening skill27. The passage suggests that _____ can help people with dyslexia overcome reading challenges.A) intensive exercisesB) vision trainingC) early identification and treatmentD) studying grammar28. It is pointed out in the passage that dyslexia _______A) is caused by brain injuriesB) is related to insufficient intelligenceC) results from neurobiological differencesD) can be cured through eye surgery29. Early signs of dyslexia often involve issues with _____A) mathematicsB) writingC) memorizationD) language30. According to the passage, students with dyslexia may find it hard to _____ as they grow older.A) play sportsB) do well in examsC) memorize poemsD) understand textbooksPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Office workers forced to sit for hours in a poorly ventilated room could soon have the solution to their problems solved through a new smart air conditioning system. Designed to fight the lag in concentration caused by stuffiness, rising temperatures, and sudden spikes in humidity, the system monitors and adjusts the environment without the need for human intervention.Developed by a team at the German Fraunhofer Research Group, one of the sensors in the system measures the rate of carbon dioxide in the air, a key indicator of poor ventilation. If the carbon dioxide levels become excessive, the air conditioning unit adjusts the airflow without human operators having to do anything.Ilias Tsagaris, head of the research program, commented on the extensive application of the system, saying, "Our feedback system can be used in any workplace, home, or vehicle where it alters the environment independently from human interference."In addition to controlling carbon dioxide levels, the smart system can adjust temperature and humidity according topre-set criteria. Ehsan Mohamed, one of the team members, mentioned, "Our objective in developing this system was to create a comfortable and productive environment for workers. The greatest advantage of our system is the degree of autonomy it offers, minimizing the need for environmental management."31. The smart air conditioning system is meant to address _____ in office settings.A) the lack of proper seatingB) temperature and ventilation issuesC) the shortage of office suppliesD) stress related to too much interaction32. The system operates _____ without human intervention.A) in silenceB) flawlesslyC) electricallyD) automatically33. According to the passage, the new system measures _____ to track poor ventilation.A) room temperatureB) carbon dioxide levelsC) humidity changesD) the presence of mold34. The smart system can help create a comfortable workplace by _____.A) responding to workers' preferencesB) maintaining a stable work environmentC) monitoring workers' levels of productivityD) reducing reliance on trained personnel35. Mohamed believes that the new system _____.A) relies on manual controlB) meets home cooling needsC) speeds up work performanceD) ensures environmental comfortPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Popular culture often portrays Western eating habits as unhealthy and fast-paced, emphasizing convenience and instant gratification over healthy choices and traditional cooking methods. While this portrayal is somewhat accurate, it fails to consider the diversity of Western diets and the growing interest in healthy eating that has emerged in recent years.A typical Western diet includes a variety of foods such as meat, dairy products, grains, fruits, and vegetables. Fast food is a significant part of many Westerners' diets, as it provides quick and easy meals for those with busy lifestyles. However, modern health campaigns encourage people to make more nutritiouschoices by consuming less processed food and more fruits and vegetables.The rise of organic supermarkets and health-conscious eateries reflects a shift in Western eating habits towards more sustainable and mindful choices. This trend is driven by concerns about environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and personal health. People are increasingly interested in knowing where their food comes from and how it is produced, leading to a greater demand for locally sourced, organic, and ethically sourced food products.Despite ongoing challenges in promoting healthy eating, Western attitudes towards food are changing as people become more aware of the impact of their dietary choices on their health and the environment. With the rise of organic and plant-based food options, healthy eating is becoming more accessible and appealing to a broader audience.36. According to the passage, Western eating habits are often portrayed as _____ in popular culture.A) slow-pacedB) traditionalC) unhealthyD) diverse37. The paragraph suggests fast food is popular among Westerners because it _____A) is nutritious and affordableB) is rich in vitamins and mineralsC) saves time and energyD) encourages healthy eating habits38. People are turning to organic supermarkets because they want to _____.A) support local farmersB) reduce their food expensesC) follow popular trendsD) make sustainable food choices39. The passage indicates people's growing interest in knowing _____.A) where to find cheap foodB) how to cook traditional dishesC) the nutritional content of their foodD) where food is sourced and produced40. The author suggests that the popularity of organic and plant-based foods _____.A) has made healthy eating less appealingB) represents a challenge in promoting healthy eatingC) responds to a growing demand for sustainable and mindful choicesD) has not affected Western attitudes towards foodPart III: Writing (30 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief introduction that captures the relevance of the topic. You should then analyze the advantages and disadvantages of technological advancements in education. Consider the impact on students, teachers, administrators, and the overall learning environment.You should write at least 250 words but no more than 300 words.Sample Writing:With the rapid advancement of technology, its impact on education has been significant in recent years. On the one hand, technology has brought numerous benefits to the educational sector, enhancing the learning experience for students and providing more efficient tools for teachers and administrators. However, there are also drawbacks that need to be considered when evaluating the role of technology in education.One advantage of technological advancements in education is the increased accessibility to information. With the internet and digital resources, students can access a wealth of knowledge on various subjects anytime and anywhere. This has revolutionized the way students learn and research, making education more personalized and interactive. Additionally, technological tools such as online platforms and virtual classrooms have enabled teachers to create engaging lessons and collaborate with students across borders.On the other hand, the overreliance on technology in education can have negative consequences. For instance, the proliferation of digital devices in classrooms could lead to distractions and reduced attention spans among students. Moreover, technological advancements may widen the education gap between students with access to the latest toolsand those without, creating inequalities in learning opportunities.In conclusion, while technology has revolutionized education in many positive ways, its impact is not without challenges. It is important for educators and policymakers to strike a balance between leveraging technology for educational benefits and addressing its potential drawbacks. By harnessing the power of technology responsibly, the educational sector can continue to innovate and improve learning outcomes for all students.。

Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.The term culture shock was introduced forthe first time in 1958 to describe the anxietyproduced when a person moves to a completelynew environment. This term expresses thefeeling of not knowing what to do or how to dothings in a new environment. This termexpresses the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment. We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort a person suffers when coming to live in a place different from the place of origin.Often, the way that we live before is not accepted or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines, not knowing how to use telephones, and so forth.The symptoms of culture shock can appear at different times. Although a person can experience real pain from culture shock, it is also an opportunity for growing andlearning new perspectives. Culture shock can help people develop a better understanding of themselves and stimulate personal creativity.Culture shock has many stages. Each stage can be ongoing, or appear only at certain times. In the first stage, the new arrival may feel very happy about all of the new experience. This time is called the honeymoon stage. Afterward, the second stage presents itself. A person may encounter some difficulties in daily life. For example, communication difficulties may occur, such as not being understood. In this stage, there may be feelings of impatience, anger and sadness. Transition between the old methods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete. The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. A person may start to feel a psychological balance. The individual is more familiar with the environment and wants to belong. This starts an evaluation of the old ways versus those of the new. In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and bad things to offer. This stage can be one of double integration or triple integration, depending on the number of cultures that the person has to process. This integration is characterized by a more solid feeling of belonging. The person starts to define himself or herself and establish goals for living. The fifth stage is the stage that is called the reentry shock. This occurs when a person returns to the newly acquired customs are considered improper in the old culture.Questions 56—60Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank.Introduced in 1958, culture shock is a term used to (56) __________ physical and emotional discomfort people experience when they come to or live in a new place. Although many people suffer a lot from culture shock, it is an (57) _________ for personal improvement. The five stages of culture shock may last for a long time or show up once in a while. In the first stage, the (58) __________ stage, the new arrivalmight be OK with everything. Afterward, (59) ________ from old methods to the new one calls for time and energy. During the third and fourth stage, people may gain more understanding of the new culture and possess objective views. The double or triple integration is (60) __________ by a feeling of belonging. The last stage, called reentry shock, refers to the feeling people have when returning to their home country.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.For some people, it would be unthinkable. But Gabe Henderson is finding freedom in a recent decision; he canceled his MySpace account. The 26 years old graduate student stopped his account after realizing that a lot of his online friends were really just acquaintances. “The superficial emptiness clouded the excitement I had once felt,”Henderson wrote in an article. “It seems we have lost, to some degree, the special depth that true friendship is about.”Journalism professor Michael Bugeja, who is a strong supporter of face-to-face communication, read Henderson’s column and saw it was a sign of hope. Though he’s not anti-technology, Bugeja often lectures students about “interpersonal intelligence”—knowing when, where, and for what purpose technology is most appropriate. He points out the students he’s seen walking across campus, holding hands with each other while talking on cell phones to someone else He’s also seen them in coffee shops, surrounded by people, but staring instead at a computer screen. “True friends,”he says, “need to learn when to stop blogging and go across campus to help a friend.”These days, young people are more wired than ever—but they’re also getting more worried. Increasingly, they’ve had to deal with online bullies, who are posting anything from embarrassing photos to online threats. And increasingly, young people also are realizing that things they post on their profiles can come back to hurt them when applying for schools or jobs.Social networking can be an “extremely effective”way to publicize events tolarge groups. It can even help build a sense of community on campus. People joined Facebook as a way to meet others. However, it has limitations. A good Internet pro make even the most boring person seem some what interesting. People are also not always happy with text messages on the cell phones. Cell phones can be a quick way to say “have a good day”.

In onesecond he falls 15 feet, in twoseconds 60 feet, and after threeseconds and 130 feet, he is flying at66 miles an hour.McGuire is a practitioner ofwhat he calls the king of all extreme sports. BASE—an acronym for building, antenna, span (bridge) and earth (cliffs)—jumping has one of the sporting world’s highest fatality rates: in its 18-year history, forty –six participants have been killed. Yet the sport has never been more popular, with more than a thousand jumpers in the United States, and more seeking to get into it every day. It is an activity without margin for error. If your chute malfunctions, don’t bother researching for a reserve—there isn’t time. There are no second chances.Still, the sport may be a perfect fit with the times. Americans may have more in common with McGuire than they know or care to admit. America has embarked on a national orgy of thrill seeking and risk taking. The rise of adventure and extreme sports such as BASE jumping, snowboarding, ice climbing, skateboarding, and paragliding is merely the most vivid manifestation of this new national behavior.The rising popularity of extreme sports speaks of an eagerness on the part of millions of Americans to participate in activities closer to the edge, where danger, skill, and fear combine to give weekend warriors and professional athletes alike a sense of pushing out personal boundaries. According to American Sports Data Inc., a consulting firm, participation in so-called extreme sports is way up. Snowboarding has grown 113 percent in five years and now boasts nearly 5.5 million participants. Mountain hiking, skateboarding, scuba diving—their growth curves reveal a nation that loves to play with danger. Contrast that with activities such as baseball, touch football, and aerobics, all of which were in steady decline throughout the 1990s.The pursuits that are becoming more popular have one thing in common: the perception that they are somehow more challenging than a game of touch football.“Every human being with two legs and two arms is going to wonder how fast, how strong, how enduring he or she is,” says Eric Perlman, a mountaineer and film maker specializing in extreme sports. “We are designed to experience or die.”Questions 66—68Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage in a maximum of 4 words for each blank.66. _______ rates doesn’t stop people from getting into BASE jumping every day.67.

Heformulated theories of relativity, successfully described the nature of the universe and came up with the most famous equation in the world. David Beckham is the footballer whose skills and precision have made him one of the most gifted sportsmen of his generation. Who is more intelligent?How Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (MI) dares us to put these two men on neighboring pedestals. Instead of regarding intelligence as a single quantity measurable by pen-and-paper tests, Gardner, an education professor at Harvard University, divides human intelligence into no fewer than eight separate categories ranging from mathematical to musical competence. (74)His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence. Gardner’s point is that quantity measures only one capacity, the sort of mental agility that is valued in academic achievement, and that this single number does not do justice to human potential. So he has created his own spheres of achievement. Some categories are easily reconcilable with general perceptions about IQ. For example, “linguistic”intelligence confers a mastery of language, and is the preserve of such people as poets, writers and linguists. “Logical mathematical” intelligence marks out people who take a reasoning approach to physical things, and seek underlying principles. Einstein is the standard –bearer of this group, which also includes philosophers. These two categories are the main components of what we generally think of as “intelligence”.“Musical”intelligence characterizes musicians, composers and conductors. “Spatial” intelligence is about being able to picture perspective, to visualize a world in one’s head with great accuracy. Chess players, artists and architects would rate highly in this category. Dancers, athletes and actors are lumped under the “bodily-kinesthetic” heading; these individual, like Beckham, are able to control their bodies and movements very carefully.Then come two types of “personal”intelligence-intrapersonal, the ability to gauge one’s own mood, feelings and mental states, and interpersonal, being able to gauge it in others and use the information. These two categories could be interpreted as emotional intelligence. Psychiatrists are particularly adept at the former, whilereligious leaders and politicians are seen as people who can exploit the latter.Charles Darwin is perhaps the perfect embodiment of the eighth intelligence –“naturalist”. This label describes people with a deep understanding of the natural world and its objects. Zoologists and botanists can count themselves among this group.(75)These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that, in these areas, there is a spectrum of human ability ranging from the hopeless to the brilliant. But are these really intelligences, or could these competences be more accurately described as gifts or talents?Questions 71—73Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.71. What are the main components of “intelligence” we generally think of?72. What kind of abilities does emotional intelligence involve?73. Which intelligences are represented by Einstein and Beckham respectively? Questions 74—75Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into Chinese.74. His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence.75. These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that, in these areas, there is a spectrum of human ability ranging from the hopeless to the brilliant.Part V Translation (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the hints given in brackets. Remember to write the answer on the answer sheet.76. 既然没有退路了,我们不妨试试他的方法。
