2.根据以下材料，回答44-47题 The intelligence test used most often today are based on the work of a Frenchman，Alfred Binet．In l905，Binet Was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a way to identify those childtIin French schools who were too“mentally deficient(不足的)”to benefit from ordinary schooling andwho needed special education．The tests had to distinguish those who were merely behind in schoodfrom those who were actually mentally deficient． The items that Binet and his colleague Theophile Simon included on the test were chosen on the basis of their ideas about intelligence．Binet and Simon believed intelligence includes such abilitiesas understanding the meaning of words；solving problems，and making commonsense judgements.Two other important assumptions also shaped Binet’s and Simon’s work：(1)that children with moreintelligence will do better in school and(2)that older children have a greater ability than youngerchildren． Binet’S first test consisted of t }lirty tasks．They were simple things most children learn as a result oftheir everyday experiences．The tasks were arranged in groups．according to age．Binet decided whichtasks were appropriate for a given age group by giving them first to a large number of children of differentages．If more than half of the children of a given age passed a test，it was considered appropriate for thatage group.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

In china, it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the west, this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 61 women, and even more 62 if the inquirer is a man. However, it is 63 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 64 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like ―How old are you?‖if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69

how old they are. 70 such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 71.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 72 that they look very old! 73 westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 74 that they are not interested to know how old other people

are. They may ask 75 for the information, 76 they may try to 77 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 78 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 79 , but this is not always the 80 .64.

Eating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you

make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there'

s any truth in the old saying.

A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of

Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753

were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed

as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the

drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.

Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does

not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults

who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.

Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher

educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they

docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.

Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.What can we learn from the passage?

7.Toronto:A 300-pound adult Siberian tiger escaped from its four-meter high chain-link pen(圈)at the Toronto Zoo yesterday, on one of the busiest days of the year.

It promoted a swift response from officials. Staff were sent immediately to arrest the runaway tiger. General Manager Calvin White told reporters that staff were preparing for the worst. “ I ordered a tranquilizer(麻醉剂)gun so we would have tranquilized her, but thankfully we didn’t have to”, Mr. White said. The tiger was successfully led back into its cage after the brave escape.The incident occurred during the Toronto Zoo’s 28th annual Christmas Treats Walk, where admission is free in return for donation of food that does not easily go bad.

Passage Four

Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and

his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.

To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving( 进化 ) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting fielD、（84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed ：They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.

Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use --that of controlling and domesticating ( 驯养 ) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.

(85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences( 后果 ), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
