taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even
questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute
force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to
citiesand by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides,who would in
other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of
violence – as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What isreally
frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it
comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars
and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The
whole of the recorded history of the humanrace, that tedious documentation of
violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that
violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the
bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the
morning after when wedismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit
us.
The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it
harder and herder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even
persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous
things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were
put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and
ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment
for all,we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is
sapped by having to mopup the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a
well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a
stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive
solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting
solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the
law.
Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the
races, we must appreciate each other's problems. And to do this, we must learn
about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information.
"Talk, talk, talk," the advocates of violencesay, "all you ever do is talk, and
we are none the wiser." It's rather like the story of the famous barrister who
painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy
argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser.
"Possible, my lord," the barrister replied, "none the wiser, but surely far
better informed." Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the
knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.
What is the best title for this passage?
A.Advocating Violence.
B.Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice.
C.Important People on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution.
D.The Instincts of Human Race Are Thirsty for Violence.

to each other.
1 was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and - poof! -1 was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation.
The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact.
The telephone is used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent.
Recently l was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier.
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel？ Every advance in communication technology is a setback(退步) to the closeness of human interaction.
With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, Ijust leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional Distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station？ Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact？
Making a deposit at the bank？ Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you Ctin put your Ctird into the ATM l More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation orbeing relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk.
The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier. I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account.
Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there isno one in the room to hear you crying out Gee whiz ？

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone' s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone' s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person" ,you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people' s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain' s(坏人)or the hero's role. In fact, the words" person" and "personality" come from the Latin persona, meaning "mask". Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
By using the example of finger prints the author tells us that （）.
A.people can learn to recognize faces
B.people have different personalities
C.people have difficulty in describing the features of finger prints
D.people differ from each other in facial features

There's been a warning about the imminent death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to spell doom for the written world. None did. Reading survived; in fact it not only survived, it has flourished. The world is more literate than ever before—there are more and more readers, and more and more books.
The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Take the arrival of e-book readers as an example. Devices like Kindle make reading more convenient and are a lot more environmentally friendly than the traditional paper book.
As technology makes new ways of writing possible, new ways of reading are possible. Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before. Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations, and e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links: to texts, pictures, and videos. In the future, the way people write novels, history, and philosophy will resemble nothing seen in the past.
On the other hand, there is the danger of civilization. One twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long "digests" of the great novels. War and Peace in a sentence？ You must be joking. We should fear the fragmentation of reading. There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span—that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration.
In such a fast-changing world, in which reality seems to be remade each day, we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us. This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear. Our society needs to be able to make sense of a dynamic, confusing world.
In the 15th century, Johannes Guttenberg's invention of the printing press in Europe had a huge impact on civilization. Once upon a time the physical book was a challenging thing. We should remember this before we assume that technology is out to destroy traditional culture.
Which of the following paragraphs briefly reviews the historical challenges for reading？
A．Paragraph One.
B．Paragraph Two.
C．Paragraph Three.
D．Paragraph Four.
第8题
Other people feel sure that the present trend is towards too little sleep. To quote one medical opinion, "Thousands of people drift through life suffering from the effects of too little sleep; the reason is not that they can't sleep. Like advancing colonists, we do seem to be grasping ever more of the land of sleep for our waking needs, pushing the boundary back and reaching, apparently, for a point in our evolution where we will sleep no more. This in itself, of course, need not be a bad thing. What could be disastrous, however, is that we should press too quickly towards this goal, sacrificing sleep only to gain more time in which to jeopardize our civilization by actions and decisions made weak by fatigue.
Then, to complete the picture, there are those who believe that most people are persuaded to sleep too much. Dr. H. Roberts, writing in Every Man in Health, asserts it may safely be stated also. It would be a pity to retard our development by holding back those people who are gifted enough to work and play well with less than the average amount of sleep, if indeed it does them no harm. If one of the trends of evolution is that more of the life span is to be spent in gainful waking activity, then surely these people are in the van of this advance.
The author seems to indicate that ______.
A．there are many controversial issues like the right amount of sleep
B．among many issues the right amount of sleep is the least controversial
C．people are now moving towards solving many controversial issues
D．the right amount of sleep is a topic of much controversy among doctors

第10题
Today, we are beginning to think differently. In the last few years, re search has thrown doubt on the view that innate intelligence can ever be measured and on the very nature of intelligence itself. Perhaps most important, there is considerable evidence now which shows the great influence of the environment both on achievement and intelligence. Children with poor home backgrounds not only do less well in their school work and in intelligence tests—a fact which could be explained on genetic grounds—but their performance tends to deteriorate gradually compared with that of their more fortunate classmates. Evidence like this lends support to the view that we have to distinguish between genetic intelligence and observed intelligence. Any deficiency in the appropriate genes will obviously restrict development, no matter how stimulating the environment. But we cannot observe or measure innate intelligence; whereas we can observe and measure the effects of the interaction of whatever is inherited with whatever stimulation has been received from the environment. Changes may occur in our observations or measurements, if the environment is changed. In other words, the Intelligence Quotient is not constant.
Researches over the past decade have been investigating what happens in this interaction. Work in this country has shown that parental interest and encouragement are more important than the material circumstances of the home.
Two major findings have emerged from these studies. Firstly, that the greater part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life. 50 percent of measurable intelligence at age 17 is already predictable by the age of four. In other words, deprivation in the first four or five years of life can have greater consequences than any of the following twelve or so years.
Secondly, the most important factors in the environment are language and psychological aspects of the parent-child relationship. Much of the difference in measured intelligence between "privileged" and "disadvantaged" children may be due to the latter's lack of appropriate verbal stimulation and the poverty of their perceptional experiences.
These research findings have led to a revision in our understanding of the nature of intelligence. Instead of it being some largely inherited fixed power of the mind, we now sec it as a set of developed skills with which a person copes with any environment. These skills have to be learned and, indeed, the fundamental one is learning how to learn.
Which of the following might serve as a suitable title for the passage？
A．Intelligence: A Changed View
B．Intelligence and Intelligence Quotient
C．Genetic Intelligence vs Observed Intelligence
D．Innate Intelligence and Developed Skills
