Reading Comprehension 30%Direction: Choose the best answer to complete each of the questions after the passages. Passage 1What 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 being born with a good mind is not enough. In some way, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents 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 about what they say to young children. According to some psychologists(心理学家), if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.”or “You are such a smart child.”What do you think? Are people born intelligent or do they become intelligent with the help of good parents and teachers?21.

So when he received an academic scholarship to the University of Maine, nobody was surprised. Having excelled both academically and socially at his small high school in rural New Hampshire, Van Adams expected more of the same in college. He was wrong.Van Adams did poorly on his first couple of exams and even received a failinggrade on his first term paper. Instead of asking his professors or classmates for help, Van Adams began to isolate himself, spending hours alone in his dorm room where he would play video games or send e-mails to friends back home. To make matters worse, he became homesick during his first weeks of college, longing for his high school friends and sweetheart, who was attending a community college in New Hampshire.“I did all the wrong things,” says Van Adams. “Instead of seeing my first couple of failures as wake-up calls, I became depressed and immediately started passing the blame onto others. I told my parents that the professors were awful and didnt like me; I told my girlfriend that the kids who went there were snobs and no fun at all. Basically, I blamed everyone but myself.”Van Adams also told himself that the University of Maine wasnt for him. He dropped out a couple of weeks before completing his first semester. “Frankly, I wasnt properly prepared for college,” he says. “I didnt go into my freshman year with the right attitude. At age 18, I thought I had the world figured out; I thought I could ace my college classes like in high school. I couldnt have been more off.

However, at least for the last 150 years, trouble has closed in on whales from humans.Whales have been hunted since about the eleventh century. Certain types of whales have been hunted too much. Recently, their number has been reduced so greatly that they are in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝的). People are worried about the fact that the number of whales is getting smaller and smaller. They are working to save them.There are reasons why people want to protect the whales. One reason is that whales help to keep a balance between plants and animals. People have been throwing their wastes into the oceans and seas, and these wastes increase the amount of salt in ocean and seawater. The increased salt helps some plants and some very small creatures to grow but these plants and small creatures are harmful to fish. However, whales are eating large numbers of plants and animals that grow in very salty water. In this way, whales are doing a good job as they keep the ocean water clean enough for the fish. In addition, because fish supply necessary food for many people, whales become our good friends which we want to save.Some people are now working to save whales by using the law. They hold meetings to ask fishermen to reduce the number of whales which can be killed in a year. They also work within countries to persuade law makers to make whaling against the law and to make the use of whale products against the law too.Now this struggle to save whales is going on in many places in the world. Somegovernments will not let people sell whale products in their countries. Other governments have changed the law about whaling. Many people believe that since the number of whales is regarded as a serious world problem, the remaining whales will be saved.31. The passage mainly discussed .A. the strange behaviors of whales B. the advantages of too many whalesC. the mysterious life of whales D. the protection of whales 32. According to the passage, certain kinds of whales will soon .A. die out B. find some other places to live inC. die from pollution D. kill most of the plants and small creatures33. Whales are helpful to humans because .A. they can communicate with humans B. they make the oceans more and more saltyC. they often save sailors lost in a stormD. they eat a large quantity of plants and creatures harmful to fish 34. From the passage we know that during the last 150 years humans have .A. returned to nature B. learned how to swimC. threatened the existence of some marine mammalsD. begun to harvest certain plants from the ocean as food35. Salt in the oceans usually .A. decreases the plants which are harmful to fishB. increases the plants and small creatures that do harm to fish C. gets rid of harmful plants and creaturesD. removes the wastes thrown into themIII.
