Passage one If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. Your are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other mens work and his own among peoples in different climates and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in 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 summer. Spring appears to be the beat period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring mans 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 According to the passage, mans intelligence_- (A) Stays the same throughout the year (B) Varies from day to day (C) Changes with the seasons (D) Changes from year to year Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have_ (A) a great effect on everyones intelligence (B) ?some effect on most peoples intelligence (C) some effect on a few peoples intelligence (D) no effect on most peoples intelligence Ellsworth Huntingtons conclusion was based on_- (A) variations of his own mental abilities from season to season (B) the results of research done by him and other scientists among peoples in different climates (C) detailed records of temperature changes in different places (D) detailed records of different ways of thinking among peoples on different climates Why does the author say summer is a good time to take a long vacation from thinking? _ (A) Because a long vacation in summer helps to improve peoples mental power. (B) Because people tend to be less creative during summer. (C) Because summer is a good time for outdoor activities (D) Because mental exertion in the summer heat taxes too much of peoples energy. The central idea of this passage is_ (A) mans mental abilities change from season to season (B) mans intelligence varies from place to place (C) man should take a long vacation in summer (D) if you want to do creative thinking, go to a cool place 难度：中分值：5.02. Warm water freezes more quickly than cold. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him till 1970. In that year Canadian scientist George Kell proved the English scholar was right. Dr. Kell filled an open pail with cold water. He exposed both to the same low temperature. The warm water froze first. The lack （缺少） of covers on the pails was the secret. Some of the warm water changed to vapor. （水蒸气） It evaporated （蒸发） into the air. This meant that less of the warm water was left to freeze. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water even though it had a greater temperature drop to make. Sir Francis Bacon was (A) an American experimenter (B) a Canadian scientist (C) an English scholar (D) an Australian writer Dr. Kells pails were both (A) filled with water (B) left uncovered (C) exposed to the same temperature (D) all of the above The second paragraph tells why (A) Dr. Kell was studying water (B) the warm water froze first (C) Dr. Kell used pails in his work (D) water freezes in underground pipes No water vapor would have escaped into the air if the pails had been (A) warmed (B) covered (C) shaken (D) filled The cold water froze more slowly because (A) salt was added to it (B) its pail was smaller (C) there was more of it left (D) the air near it was moving 难度：中分值：5.03.
