For each question there are four suggested answers marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Shortly after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, a lady was asked what she thought of the idea that humans and animals came down from a commonancestor (祖先). "Let us hope it is not true," she said. "And, if it is true, let us hope it does not become public knowledge."This story is probably untrue, but it illustrates well the attitudes of the time. Today, we are more comfortable with our past. Many people accept Darwin' s view of how we came into being - that our bodies' evolved through the process of natural selection acting on our genes.However, Darwin believed evolution was responsible for far more than just our physical characteristics. He saw it as the major influence in shaping our psychology. Indeed, he predicted that "in the distant future, psychology will be based on a new foundation." This foundation was, of course, his theory of evolution.To those in favor of concepts like free will and personal responsibility, such an idea seems quite stupid. But a growing number of scientists are questioning the extent to which our behavior is controlled by our culture. Their research has revealed increasing evidence that the human mind is made up of natural mechanisms (if; h-g,), which control everything from the way we perceive (感知) time and space, to how we learn survival techniques and choose mates.21. The story about the lady suggests that, in Darwin's time, the theory of evolution made many people feelA) embarrassed B) delighted C) comfortable D) miserable22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2A) People's attitudes towards Darwin's view remain unchanged.B) Darwin's view of man's origin has been widely accepted.C) Natural selection has no effect on our genes.D) The story about the lady has proved to be true.23. The phrase "was responsible for" in Line 1, Paragraph 3 most probably means“ “A) had the ability to influence C) was to blame forB) had the duty of D) was the cause of24. According to Darwin's view, our psychologyA) will change greatly in the futureB) has nothing to do with evolutionC) is mainly shaped by evolutionD) is shaped by our physical characteristics25. If Darwin's view on our psychology is correct, what controls our behaviorA) The characteristics of our culture.B) The mechanisms of our mind.C) The way we perceive time and space.D) The way we live and choose mates.Passage FourQuestions are based on the following passage.November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United States. V oters all across the nation are electing representatives in local and national races. Some people think they are voting for the president of our country too. They're not! Again, they're voting for representatives, who are called electors.In most states the electors are chosen on a winner-take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his opponent.The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for the president and the vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution (宪法) doesnot force the electors to vote for the candidates that they promise to vote for, but they almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in the Congress.If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the winners will be chosen by the Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and the Senate (参议院) will choose the vice-president. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice-president from another.26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph'.A) Electors are representatives of local and national races.B) Local voters are usually referred to as electors.C) Electors are chosen by representatives for each state.D) Local voters have the right to choose the US president directly.27. What should the electors d67A) Promise to vote for popular candidates.B) V ote for the candidates they promise to.C) Gather in the Congress to vote for the president.D) V ote for the president in their respective states.28. A candidate will become the U.S. president if he getsA) about half of the electoral votesB) over half of the electoral votesC) most of the electoral votes from the same partyD) most of the electoral votes from two parties29. The new president will take office after the voting starts.A) in about two weeks C) in about two and a half monthsB) in about two months D) in about half a year30. The main idea of the passage is __ the US president is elected.A) how B) why C) where D) whenOne of the best-known proverbs must be “early to bed and early to rise makes a m an healthy, wealthy, and wise.” The promise of health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retirees and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States $200 billion are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4.8 million people.Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent years. This is probably due to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writing of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious that they trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards of the hard and tiring marathons(马拉松) that are organized all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu , I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old,running for their lives. And I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian Marathon. Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, “ You look like a runner; how far do you run each day” A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found that this is a subject on many people’s minds.31. The “early risers” mentioned in Paragraph 1 are ________ .A) people who go to bed early B) people who have a lot of moneyC) people who get up early D) people who give up their work early32. What does the writer think of the $200 billion spent on health care each yearA) It’s a big sum of money.B) It’s a huge waste of money.C) Most people can’t afford the expensive medical treatment.D) The medical field provides a lot of job opportunities.33. According to the passage, nowadays what people are most interested in is ________.A) how to be a millionaireB) how to keep fitC) how to win the Hawaiian MarathonD) how to develop aerobics in American34. Why are the examples of conversation in the last paragraph usedA) To show a common way of starting a conversation.B) To show the change in people’s conversation topics.C) To show the importance of running.D) To show people’s interest in exercise.35. Aerobics is a book about _________.A) marathon B) preventive medicineC) traveling D) exerciseQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Teacher evaluation (评价) have been carried out in a lot of schools in recent years. Every term students are given the opportunity to evaluate their teachers. They are supposed to judge their teachers’lectures, interests in students’problems, methods of exercise, and general ability to conduct a class. Then, when the teacher has left the classroom, they must write their evaluation o the forms provided. They are not supposed to exchange views or discuss their responses. After everyone has completed the forms, one student collects and puts them in envelopes.It is very difficult to evaluate another person’s performance fairly. For example, Santa recently wrote irresponsible remarks about her teacher because she was failing the course. Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous description of the same teacher because he was receiving an A in the course. Both Santa and Sam were not fairly evaluating the teacher. They were influence by the grades they were earning and were unfair in their judgments.Another irresponsible form of evaluation occurred when James rated his teacher excellent because the teacher is “easy”. He gives few tests and only assigns (分配)one paper during the entire term. His lectures are often filled with jokes and endless stories about his family. On the other hand, James rated Professor Jones poor because he assigns homework daily, gives pretest previews and post-test reviews, and packs his lectures with information.Santa, Sam, and James have n ot thought about their teachers’ teaching abilities. They have written unfair evaluations and have not given thought to their evaluations. They have not made fair judgments, but instead have been influenced by their own personality and have equated (使等同) light work with excellence in teaching.36. Santa and Sam judged their teacher by ____________.A) his teaching abilityB) his humorous storiesC) the grades that they were earningD) his marvelous remarks37. James’ evaluation was influenced by ____________.A) the amount of courseworkB) his own performanceC) the teacher’s abilityD) the teacher’s family background38.

The students didn’t evaluate their teachers fairly because _________.A) it was difficult for them to do soB) they didn’t know how to make judgmentsC) their personality affected them a lotD) they received unfair treatment40.
