Passage One

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage

Geniuses look at problems in many different ways. Genius often comes from finding a new perspective that no one else has taken. Leonardo da Vinci believed that, to gain knowledge about the form of a problem, you begin by learning how to restructure it in many different ways. He felt that the first way he looked at a problem was too biased toward his usual way of seeing things. He would restructure his problem by looking at it from one perspective and move to another perspective and still another. With each move, his understanding would deepen and he would begin to understand the essence of the problem.

Geniuses make their thought visible. The explosion of creativity in the Renaissance was intimately tied to the recording and conveying of vast knowledge in drawings, graphs, and diagrams, as in the renowned (著名的) diagrams of da Vinci and Galileo revolutionized science by making his thought graphically visible while his contemporaries used only conventional mathematical and verbal approaches.

Geniuses produce. A distinguishing characteristic of genius is immense productivity. Thomas Edison held 1,093 patents, still the record. He guaranteed productivity by giving himself and his assistants idea quotas. His own personal quota was one minor invention every 10 days and a major invention every sis months. Bach wrote a cantata (康塔塔) every week, even when he was sick or exhausted. Mozart produced more than 600 pieces of music. Einstein is best known for his paper on relativity, but he published 248 other papers. T.S. Eliot’s numerous drafts of The Waste Land constitute a jumble (杂乱的一团) of good and bad passages that eventually was turned into a masterpieces.

Geniuses make novel combinations. Like the highly playful child with a bucket of building blocks, a genius is constantly combining and recombining ideas, images and thoughts into different combinations in their conscious and subconscious minds. Consider Einstein’s equation, E=mc2, Einstein did not invent the concepts of energy, mass, or speed of light. Rather, by combining these concepts in a novel way, he was able to look at the same world as everyone else and see something different.

26. In order to understand a problem thoroughly, da Vinci ________________.

A. referred to numerous books

B. compared it with many other problems C. made use of drawings and graphs D. approached it from different angles

28. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. Geniuses make creations or discoveries in large quantities. B. Geniuses can make many achievements without much effort. C. Geniuses inevitably experience failures before making a success. D. Geniuses may just produce something common and ordinary.

29. In the last paragraph, the author mentions the playful child in order to show __________.

D. Mozart composed something every day even when he was sick.

Passage Two

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特写) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music.

A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and not glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers variety to attract many different readers. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality ( 时事性 ) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now, but immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what papers in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is

第4页，共7页

to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

31. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ________. A.wide coverage B.uniform style C.speed in reporting news

D.popularity

32. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is that ________.

A.people scan for the news they are interested in B.different people prefer different newspapers

C.people are rarely interested in the same kind of news

D.people have different views about what a good newspaper is

33. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers ________.

A.apply reading techniques skillfully B.jump from one newspaper to another C.appreciate the variety of a newspaper D.usually read a newspaper selectively

34. A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because ________.

A.it tries to serve different readers

B.it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality C.readers are difficult to please

D.readers like to read different newspapers

35. The best title for this passage would be “________”.

A.The Importance of Newspaper Topicality B.The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper C.The Variety of a Good Newspaper

D.Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper

| 序卷 试

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学

会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.

Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.

As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.

A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.

36. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.

A. should be avoided B. is universal among parents

C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child D. will make him lose interest in learning new things

37. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________.

A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words

they read

第5页，共7页

B. should not expect too much of them

C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on

their own

D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible 38. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.

A. parents should be strict with their children

B. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community

C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone

D. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the

situation 39. The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.

A. idea B. punishment C. behavior D. instruction 40. In moral matters, parents should ________.

A.observe the rules themselves

B.be aware of the marked difference between adults and children C.forbid things which have no foundation in morality D.consistently ensure the security of their children

Passage Four

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage

In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters (年轻人) who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.

Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients-even when those patients are their parents. This deprives (剥夺) the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning
