Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. In the 1960s medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list but so were some positive life-changing events like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stressit only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Womens magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness!” If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous manylike the death of a loved oneare impossible to avoid. Moreover any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes were all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can 7 lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain. 1. The result of Holmes-Rahes medical research tells us _ . A. the way you handle major events in incorrect. B. what should be done to avoid stress C. what kind of event would cause stress D. how to cope with sudden changes in life 2. The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to _ . A. widespread concern over its harmful effects B. great panic over the mental disorder it could cause C. an intensive research into stress-related illnesses D. popular avoidance of hard jobs 3. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows _ . A. how much pressure you are under B. how positive events can change you life C. how stressful a major event can be D. how you can deal with life-changing events 4. Why is “such simplistic advice” (Line 1, Para.3) impossible to follow A. No one can stay on the same job for long B. No prescription is effective in relieving stress C. People have to get married someday D. You could be missing opportunities as well 5. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become _ . A. nervous when faced with difficulties B. physically and mentally strained C. more capable of coping with adversity D. indifferent toward what happens to them Passage Two Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and dont pay attention to what you did because youre involved in a conversation, youll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in you wardrobe (衣柜). “Your memory itself isnt failing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didnt give your memory system the information it needed.” Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,” says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that. Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available,” he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication (药物) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table dont leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket. 8 Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why youre there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,”says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and youll likely remember. 6. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important? A) It helps us understand our memory system better. B) It enables us to recall something form our memory. C) It expands our memory capacity considerably. D) it slows down the process of losing our memory. 7. One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that _. A) they have a wider range of interests B) they are more reliant on the environment C) they have an unusual power of focusing their attention D) they are more interested in whats happening around them 8. A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because _. A) it will easily get lost B) its not clear enough for you to read C) its out of your sight D) it might get mixed up with other things 9. What do we learn from the last paragraph? A) If we focus our attention on one thing, we might forget another. B) Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment. C) Repetition helps improve our memory. D) If we keep forgetting things, wed better return to where we were. 10. What is the passage mainly about? A) The process of gradual memory loss. B) The causes of absent-mindedness. C) The impact of the environment on memory. D) A way of encoding and recalling. Passage Three Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group of firearm (火器) fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now lobbying against any legislation to stop Americans from owning one. The Constitution, said the associations spokesman, gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesnt spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves. Dont you think its dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around. The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse (导火索) separately in a drawer. Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody. 9 The spokesman said, Hydrogen bombs dont kill peoplepeople kill people. The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent(威慑的) effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, theyre going to think twice about breaking in. But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that if you have one locked in the cabinet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder (侵入者). Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns. 11. According to the passage, some people started a national association so as to . A) block any legislation to ban the private possession of the bomb B) coordinate the mass production of the destructive weapon. C) instruct people how to keep the bomb safe at home. D) promote the large-scale sale of this newly invented weapon. 12. Some people oppose the ownership of H-bombs by individuals on the grounds that A) the size of the bomb makes it difficult to keep in a drawer B) most people dont know how to handle the weapon C) peoples lives will be threatened by the weapon D) they may fall into the hands of criminals 13. By saying that the bomb also has a deterrent effect the spokesman means that it. A) will frighten away any possible intruders B) can show
