The underlined word workhorse is closest in meaning with _.A.makerB. laborerC. speakerD. DiggerBFor a long time, a boy wondered why his next-desk-pal was always the first in the class, whereas he could only rank the 21st.At home, he asked his mom: “Am I more stupid than other kids? How can I always fall behind? I just cant come up with an answer.” Mom was aware that her sons self-respect had been damaged by the ranking system, but she didnt know what to say to help.She tended to say that intelligence differs and that yes, her sons friend really was the smarter boy. But that would so upset her son. Thank goodness she resisted the temptation to say it.Her son and his friend went on to high school that year, but despite trying as hard as he could, her sons friend still outdid him. But she was proud of her boy for his hard work, sincerely proud. It was around this time that she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside. On the trip, she at last found an answer for him.Today her son no longer cares about rankings. He doesnt have to, for he himself is now the top of the class at the top national university he attends. After university his teachers and peers fully expect him to have a promising career.Invited to speak to his old high school, he mentioned a valuable childhood experience. It concerned that holiday his mother had prepared for them: “Once, on a trip to the sea, my mother and I were lying on the beach. She pointed to the sea and said to me: Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there? When a wave comes near, the little birds rise quickly. The clumsyseagulls are far slower and have to struggle to get away from the wave. But these clumsy birds prove to have the biggest, strongest wings, which allow the bird to travel the furthest. When the season changes, they leave for foreign shores, leaving the little birds behind. Son, I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls.”60. The story mainly expresses the message that .A. competition between students is good for societyB. only rankings show intelligence of a childC. parents should build up childrens self-respectD. children take competition among them to heart61. From the 2nd paragraph, we can see that the mother .A. saw the negative effects of the ranking systemB. decided to help with her sons homeworkC. knew her son was weak in his studyD. felt sorry for her sons bad behavior.62. We can infer from the passage that .A. the son knew intelligence didnt mean anythingB. the mother was not strong enough to face the truthC. the mother was careful to protect her sons self-respectD. the son would forget his rankings soon after leaving high school63. Which of the following has the similar meaning with the underlined word “outdid”?A. was equal toB. did better than C. laughed at D. worked harder thanCI have always wondered at the passion many people have to meet the famous person. The prestige(名声) you acquire by being able to tell your friends that you know famous men proves only that you are yourself of small account. The celebrated develop a technique to deal with the persons they come across. They show the world a mask, often an impressive one, but take care to conceal their real selves. They play the part that is expected from them, and with practice learn to play it very well, but you are stupid if you think that this public performance of theirs corresponds with the man within.I have been attached, deeply attached, to a few people; but I have been interested in men in general not for their own sakes, but for the sake of my work. I have not regarded each man as an end in himself, but as material that might be useful to me as a writer. I have been more concerned with the ordinary than with the famous. They are more often themselves. They have had no need to create a figure to protect themselves from the world or to impress it. Their quality have had more chance to develop in the limited circle of their activity, and since they have never been in the public eye it has never occurred to them that they have anything to conceal. They display their strangeness because it has never struck them that they are strange. And after all it is with the common run of men that we writers have to deal; kings, presidents, commercial leaders are from our point of view very unsatisfactory. To write about them is a venture that has often attracted writers, but the failure that has attended their efforts shows that such beings are too special to form a proper ground for a work of art. They cannot be made real. The ordinary is the writers richer field. Its unexpectedness, its miracle, its endless variety afford unending material. The great man is too often all of a piece; it is the little man that is a bundle of contradictory elements. You never come to the end of the surprises he has in store for you. For my part I would much sooner spend a month on a desert island with a taxi driver than with a prime minister.64. According to the first paragraph, the celebrated are _.A. worth meeting passionatelyB. of small account to your friendsC. good at hiding their real selvesD. born with the nature of lying65. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the obscure are more often themselves according to the author?A. They dont need to protect themselves from being hurt by the world.B. They develop their characters in the limited circle of their activity.C. They have never been the focus of attention publicly.D. They have never realized that their behavior is strange.66. Why do writers prefer writing about the ordinary to writing about the celebrated?A. There are richer materials in the ordinary than in the celebrated.B. The celebrated are more difficult to be satisfied than the ordinary.C. The ordinary are often more contradictory than the celebrated.D. The celebrated are more different from each other than the ordinary.67. The author develops this article mainly by _ .A. exampling B. comparison C. reasoning D. DefinitionDAmerican researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein” in the brain.The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神经学家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day over 13,000 more than men. This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends. They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mothers cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocalcalls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy.Our results imply Foxp2 as a component of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals.68. From the second paragraph, we can learn that _.A
