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.Passage One:Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to 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 person's intelligence are fixed at birth, 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 from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical 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 inclose contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.51. The writer holds the view that man's intelligence is given to him .A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. neither at birth nor through education52. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can .A. become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be given special educationC. exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not reach his intelligence in his life53. In the second paragraph "if we take two unrelated people at random from the population"means "if we "A. pick any two personsB. pick two persons after careful considerationC. choose two person who are relativeD. choose two person with average intelligence54. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately showsA. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays55. The best title of this passage can be “”A. SurroundingsB. IntelligenceC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of EducationPassage Two:Above all higher education has traditionally been primarily for those who delight in knowledge for its own sake. Through the ages students have gathered around the greatest scholars of the time, not for the riches or power that knowledge might bring, but for the sake of wisdom that is the ability to understand and judge correctly. Those who seek after wisdom have always felt a need to withdraw from the world, at least for a time, and so traditional universities have to a considerable extent secluded themselves from the outer world, offering a peaceful heaven for those who wish to devote themselves to the affairs of the mind.However, in our own times this concept of higher education has been changing rapidly. A few centuries ago a university education was truly "universal"; one person could learn all there was to be known within his own culture, and all educated people shared a common background of knowledge and ideas. Today, on the other hand, because of the enormous expansion of knowledge in all fields, the mastery, of even one subject in its entirely has become impracticable. Studies have in consequence grown increasingly narrow in scope, and it has become necessary to set up specialized institutions like colleges of technology to cope with the new disciplines that have emerged. This fragmentation of knowledge tends to restrict communication amongst those working in different fields and means that individual scholars and students have a narrower range of interests and, therefore, a narrower view of life as a whole.56. Traditionally the main reason for pursuing higher education has been .A. desire of powerB. love of studyC. wish to withdrawal from the worldD. wish to improve one's conduct57. The main reward of higher education has been regarded as .A. richesB. statusC. happinessD. wisdom58. Narrow disciplines in modem times resulted from the fact that .A. intellectual standards have risenB. the old subjects of study are no longer of interestC. the amount of knowledge has increasedD. scholars and students now have a different view of life59. The phrase "secluded themselves from the outer world" (Para. 1 Line 6) most probablymeans" "A. kept themselves away from the world outsideB. enjoyed themselves from the outer worldC. enabled themselves to get knowledge from the outer worldD. enjoyed and learned from the lives60. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Changing Concept of Higher Education.B. Discipline Changes.C. Traditional and Modem Universities.D. Wisdom and Narrow Discipline.Passage Three:The kings of old Egypt were very rich and powerful, and their tombs tell much about their lives. Archaeologists have looked for these tombs for many years. One man -- Lord Carnarvon of England -- was not an archaeologist. But he was very much interested in the way people lived in Egypt long ago. He was given permission to dig in some of the old tombs in a place called the Valley of the Kings. He hired an archeologist named Carter to take charge.For more than five years, the two men worked there with a group of diggers, but they found very little. Lord Carnarvon went back to England. Carter had almost lost hope of making an important discovery. But he kept on with the work.Then one day in the fall of 1922, one of his workers uncovered something that looked like a step cut into a rocky hill. He brushed away some loose stones and saw a second step below. It took four days to clear sixteen steps leading down into the hill. At the bottom of the steps, there was a wall of stone blocks. On the wait, they found the seal of a king called Tutankhamen.When Lord Carbnarvon heard the news, he sailed on the first ship to Egypt. They began the work of clearing out the tomb. It had to be done so carefully that it took six years to finish the job! There were four rooms in the tomb. Three of them were piled high with boxes, vases, jewels, and many other beautiful things. There was a golden throne, several golden chariots, the king's hunting bows and even his gold-trimmed sandals. All these things were put near the king in case he should need them in his own special afterworld.The fourth room held a huge carved coffin. In it, there were three more coffins, one inside the other. The last one was made of gold, and in it was the body of Tutankhamen. The body had been prepared with chemicals and was tightly wrapped in cloth. A body that is protected in this way is called a mummy. There were three layers of cloth wrappings on the body and a mask of pure gold.All the things found in the tomb were taken to museums, and archaeologists have been studying them ever since. Because Tutankhamen was a king, everything he left behind is very beautiful and very valuable. The gold itself is worth millions of dollars.But most important of all is the meaning of the objects themselves. They show how people lived in Egypt more than 3 000 years ago.61. When did one of the workers discover a step that led to the discovery of the tombs?A. In the spring.B. In the summer.C. In the autumn.D. In the winter.62. Where is the exact place to keep Tutankhamen's dead body?A. In the tombB. In the three coffinsC. In the four roomsD. In the gold coffin63. The body had been so well preserved because it was .A. kept in a good coffinB. tightly wrapped, in three layers of clothC. prepared with chemicalsD. covered with pure gold64. How many coffins were there in the fourth room?A. 4 coffins.B. 5 coffins,C. 3 coffins.D. 7 coffins.65. The most valuable of the discovery is .A. the knowledge of how people lived in Egypt more than 3 000 years agoB. the gold itself that is worth millions of dollarsC. all the things that were put near the kingD. the coffins in the fourth roomPart IV Mistake spotting ( 10%)Directions: Each of the following sentences has four underlined parts and marked A,B,C and D.Identify the one that needs correction .66.
