13、to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even theability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsettingsituation.

23、d be foundC. how to solve practical problemsD. how an unintelligent person should be taughtV解析：解析：文章前两段分别谈到了聪明人的行为表现，并举例说明了他们失败后会怎样；最后一段谈到 聪明和不聪明的孩子实际上是两种不同类型的人，因此可以断定下面应该谈如何教育不聪明的孩子了。Human needs seem endless.

24、new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regardedas making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The firstand most basic level ofneedsinvolvesfood. Once this level is satisfied,the

25、 second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter,appears. By the end of World War A , these needs were satisfiedfor a great majority of Americans.Then a third level appeared.

26、fied. Then, in the late 1950s,a fourthlevelof n eeds appeared; the life-e nrichi ng level.

A fifth level would probably involve needs thatcan be achieved best by community action. Consumers

29、 may be spending more on taxes to pay for government actionagainst disease, ignorance, crim, and prejudice.

30、tfour levels.（分数：10.00 ）（1）.According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when. （分数：2.00 ）A. he has saved up enough moneyB. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC. he has satisfied his hungerVD. he has learned to build houses解析：解析：本题答案对应于

31、第一、三段。文章的第一段提到一个人有了吃的就会想到再要件衣服，第三 段又说最基本的需求是食物，这个层次的需求得到满足后人就会考虑服装和住的地方。综合判断，所以选 C,即他不再饥饿后就会产生对住处和衣服的需求。（2）_.lt can be inferredfrom the passage that by the end of World War II , most Americans_ .（分数:2.00 ）A. were very richBi ved in povertyC. had the good things on the first three levelsD. did not ow

32、n automobilesV解析：解析：文章第三段中说第二次世界大战结束时，对于大多数美国人来说，食品、服装以及住所的需 求都满足了，然后第三个层次的需求，包括汽车和新房子便岀现了。这说明第二次世界大战结束时大多数 美国人还没有汽车。A 项“很富有”，意思不明。B 项“生活在贫困中”，不符合文意。C 项“满足了前三个层次的需求”，也不正确，因为这时第三个层次的需求才刚刚出现。（3）.Which of the following isNOT related to physical satisfaction?（分数：2.00 ）A.A successful career.VB. A comfort

33、able home.C. A good meal.D. A family car.解析：解析：本题答案对应于文章的第四段，第四段第三行说 安全感、交通工具，在B、C D 中都有体现。故选 Ao(4) .What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?A. The more goods the better.B.

35、tions解析：解析：本题考查考生对作者意思的整体把握。先看A 项“比第四个层次要好一些”，意思含糊。 C项“是最终的、最令人满意的需求层次”，太绝对。D 项“在政府采取行动之前就能实现”，不合文意。文章说第五个层次的需求要通过集体行动实现，即人们付钱给政府，让其对抗疾病、愚昧、犯罪与不公。可见这要在政府采取行动后实现。而B 项的意思是“比前四个层次的需求更值得拥有”，这是正确的。Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past.
