A
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking,
cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind,
football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often
looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and
hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by
the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give
their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there
are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind
which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that
makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free
to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that
one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game". We should be mistaken
in this. There are, it is true, no "matches" between teams of climbers, but when climbers
are on a rockface linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously
team work. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are
stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature, his sport
requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is
probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are
in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the
highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they
probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience
equal enjoyment.
1. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Differences between Golf and Mountaineering. B. Sports and Games.
C. Mountaineering. D. Why are so many people crazy about mountaineering?
2. The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because_______.
A. mountain climbers usually compete in groups
B. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing
C. mountaineering climbers are free to use their own rules to climb
D. mountaineering is a sport not a game
3. The biggest difference between golf and mountaineering lies in_______.
A. team game B. enjoyment C. age D. rules
4. In the author's opinion, one of the most important reason why so many people enjoy mountaineering is that_______.
A. there are no man-made rules for mountaineers
B. mountaineering is a sport and not a game
C. it is one of the most dangerous sports
D. mountaineering bring us more enjoyment than other sports
B
Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be
human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do
it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking. When you think critically, you
take control of your thinking processes. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas
of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.
The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view
against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something
wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen------beyond the
pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.
Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life
and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep
thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.
Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and
careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in
today's world, fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the
people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something
new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was
to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But
Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, "Please go slowly. I don't
understand things quickly."
5. Critical thinking is important to us, because if we do not think critically, _________.
A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast
B. we might be controlled by other people's ideas
C. we will follow the ideas of others naturally
D. we might be fooled by other people's ideas
6. If you are a critical thinker, you will________.
A. think deeply about different ideas B. trust the reports in the newspapers
C. take one view against another view D. criticize other people for their mistakes
7. In the last paragraph, "something new" suggests that________.
A. the smarter you are, the faster you do things B. the faster you do things, the
smarter you become
C. speed can improve intelligence D. intelligence is not decided by
speed
8. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Thinking and Critical Thinking B. Understanding Critical Thinking
C. Thinking Natural and Human D. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence
C
If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and mathematics?
It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science
are seen as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are
less likely to take them. Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for
boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics
courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in
open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine and
attractive.
However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken
mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls. This
difference appears to be world-wide. Biological explanations have been offered for this,
but there are other explanations, too.
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in
much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to
work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians
and scientists have not had teachers who supply answers.
Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect
their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even
appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with
the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get
correct answers from them. They are more likely to call in boys for answers and to
allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more
frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and
mathematics and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and
science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects
it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.
9. Girls are likely to think that _____.
A. science courses are for both boys and girls B science courses make them
more popular
C science courses make them successful D science courses are difficult
for them
10. The text mainly discuss_____ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in
scientific achievements.
A. biological B. historical C. social D. personal
11. What are boys usually encouraged to do at school? _____
A. To get help with their homework. B To play the leading role in class.
C To work with girl students in class. D To learn to take care of others.
12. The author would probably agree that ______.
A. boys and girls learn in the same way B. boys and girls are equal
in general intelligence
C. girls are more confident in themselves than before D. girls should take fewer
science courses than boys
D
According to sociologists(社会学家), every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification(阶层). Class, power and status are important in deciding
people’s rank in society.
Class means a person’s economic position in society. A commonly used classification
is lower class, middle class and upper class. While sociologists disagree on how these
terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite
well. One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the
middle class, and 1% the upper class. Interestingly, a surgeon earning $500,000 a year
and a bus driver earning $50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!
Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. Obviously,
people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise(行使)big power, but
people who take orders from others have less power. Power and class do not always go
hand in hand, however. For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or
she may not belong to a corresponding ( 相 应 的 ) economic class. Generally,
however, there is a relationship between power and class. To our knowledge, there
aren’t too many people who aren’t millionaires in the U.S. Senate!
Status is the honor or respect attached to a person’s position in society. It can also be
affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. For example, a university professor
may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over
others.
13. What can we learn about “the middle class” from Paragraph 2?
A. People earning $50,000 a year belong to the middle class.
B. Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class.
C. People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class.
D. Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class.
14. According to the text, we know that _____.
A. power and class do not always correspond with each other
B. status refers to a person’s economic position in society
C. people with high status have a lot of control over others
D. class is less important in deciding a person’s social rank
15. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text.(p=paragraph)?
○P1 ○P1 ○P1 ○P1
○P2 ○P3 ○P2 ○P4 ○P2 ○P3
○P2 ○P3 ○P4 ○P4 ○P3 ○P4
