In addition, she will _38_ continue meeting with citizens across the United States, much as she did during the 2020 presidential campaign.

Her balancing act should be familiar to working mothers everywhere as she strives to meets the _43_ of a fast-paced job while carving out time with her husband and children.41-49 BJFGDHEACII. Reading ComprehensionSection A(15)Have you ever heard the phrase, “Love is blind”? If so, you are already 44 with a type of mistake in our attempts to understand others: halo effects. This type of mistake 45 to the fact that once we form an overall impression of somebody, it could have strong effects on our 46 of his personality. 47 , halo effects are both common and powerful. For example, most organizations contain one or more “superstars”- people who have earned the reputation for being unusually 48 and capable. Once they have gained such a “halo”, everything they do receives good 49 . Ideas that would be regarded as just so-so if suggested by someone else are seen as 50 when proposed by these persons. And actions that might be considered risky if taken by others are seen as brave when carried out by these “chosen” men and women.As you can see, halo effects carry high costs. They may lead some persons to have an 51 high opinion of their own worth, while making things 52 for others who are equally deserving. Further, by giving too much influence to persons who are not ready to receive it, and by preventing hidden talent from being 53 , they can harm organizations as well as individuals. Clearly, then, it is important to recognize the existence and impact of halo effects; only then can their harmful effects be avoided.44. A. familiarB. wrongC. connectedD. bored45.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)About 40 years ago the famous British band The Beatles sang that “money cant buy me love”. Today British economists are saying that it perhaps cant buy you happiness either. This is showed by the happy planet index (HPI快乐指数) published recently by the New Economics Foundation NEF in London.The index is about how well countries are using their resources. It shows how well they provide people with better health and longer and happier lives and at what cost to their environment.It would seem to be a common sense that people in richer countries live happier lives while those in developing countries are having a harder time. But the results are surprising even shocking. The numbers show that some of the so-called developed countries are performing very badly. The United States for example ranks number 150.On the other hand some little-known developing countries are doing a much better job. A tiny island in the Pacific Vanuatu comes in first. There are 178 countries and areas in the index. China ranks number 31.Countries are graded on the basis of information supplied in response to the following questions. How do people feel about their lives How long does an average person live How much of its natural resources does a country need to use to keep its living standard This is what the index calls the “ecological footprint”.The NEF found that people from island nations enjoy the highest HPI rankings. The index points out that people in the US and Germany enjoy similar lives. However Germanys ecological footprint is only about half that of the US.54. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.A. a song B. The Beatles C. money D. love55. How many factors decide a countrys happy planet index according to the passageA. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.56. According to the passage the most shocking thing is that _.A. Vanuatu comes in first in the index B. China ranks number 31 in the indexC. America comes in number 150 D. there are 178 countries and areas in the indexCBC(B)Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(任意的) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.58. Which of the following views is the speaker in favor of?A. Mans intelligence is given to him at birthB. Mans intelligence is given to him through educationC. Mans intelligence is given to him both at birth and through educationD. Mans intelligence is given to him neither at birth nor through education59. What will become of a child if he is born with low intelligence_.A. he can never becomes a geniusB. he can still becomes a genius if he is given special educationC. he can develop his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. he cant reach his intelligence limits in his lifetime60. If two unrelated people live in close contact, what are they likely to be?A. they are likely to be close in intelligenceB. they are likely to be completely differentC. they are likely to be very cleverD they are likely to be very stupidSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur(诋毁) on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the teenagers see that they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some unpleasant remark about the friends parents. Such a loss of dignity and descent into childish behavior on the part of the adults deeply shocks the teenagers, and makes them decide that in future they will not talk to their parents about the places or people they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they have brought this on themselves.Disillusionment(幻想破灭) with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable. Most children have such a high ideal of their parents, unless the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belief their children usually have in their character and infallibility(一贯正确), and how much this faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this teen-aged reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it.The
