Part I Reading Comprehension
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school.
By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
(76) For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn""t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can""t make things work out right, he doesn""t feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.
If you look at children, you""ll see great difference between what we call "bright" children and "not-bright" children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life - he tries to get in touch with everything around him. (77) But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.
[文章大意及重要詞匯]
我們所謂的智商（intelligence）并不是指能夠在某種測(cè)試中獲得高分或在學(xué)校成績優(yōu)秀。而是指一種生活或行為的方式，特別是當(dāng)處在一種全新或混亂（upsetting）的情形下時(shí)。要想測(cè)試一個(gè)人的智商，就必須看他的行為而不是看他懂多少。
例如，在面對(duì)新情況時(shí)， 智商高的會(huì)考慮當(dāng)前形勢(shì)而不是只考慮自己或自己將會(huì)到什么。他會(huì)盡其所能并立即（immediately）采取行動(dòng)試圖有所作為。他自己可能并不知道能有多大作用，但至少他嘗試了。并且，如果沒有能夠立即解決問題，他也不會(huì)為自己的失敗而感到氣餒，只是嘗試著從錯(cuò)誤中吸取教訓(xùn)。一個(gè)智商高的人，即使非常年輕，也會(huì)對(duì)生活有特殊的看法（outlook on）、特殊的感受，并且知道如何去適應(yīng)生活。
孩子們中也存在著所謂“聰明”與“不聰明”的區(qū)別。事實(shí)上他們是兩種不同的人，但智商卻千萬別。例如，聰明的孩子非常想從生活中去發(fā)現(xiàn)，他會(huì)試圖接觸周圍的一切。然而，智商低的孩子則更多地獨(dú)處并局限于他想象中的世界，他好象與生活隔了一面墻一樣。

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Human needs seem endless. (78) When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War I1, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. (79) While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is. the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
[文章大意及重要詞匯]
人類的需求好像是無止境的（endless），當(dāng)一饑餓的人吃飽喝足后，他就開始想擁有一件外套。當(dāng)一位經(jīng)理得到一輛跑車后，就開始想望一所大房子和豪華游艇。人類的需求可以概括為好幾個(gè)層次，一個(gè)層次滿足后就會(huì)需要另一個(gè)層次。
第一層也是最基本的層次就是對(duì)食物的需求，一旦這個(gè)需求得到滿足之后，第二個(gè)層次的需求，像衣服和房子就隨之而來，第二次世界大戰(zhàn)后，大多數(shù)的美國人都已達(dá)到這一層次。于是第三層次就出現(xiàn)了，這個(gè)層次包括了汽車和大房子。
到了1957、58年的時(shí)候，人們的第三層次也得到了充分的滿足。20世紀(jì)50年后期，第四個(gè)層次的要求“豐富多彩的生活”（life-enriching）有出現(xiàn)了。前面三個(gè)層次的需求都是在物質(zhì)方面在比如食物和交通方便的需求。而第四層次強(qiáng)調(diào)精神上滿足，例如社會(huì)認(rèn)可，成就感和幸福大部分的錢都花在服務(wù)上，包括許多奇特的物品（fancy goods）和最新款式的衣服。
但是隨著人們收入的提高和消費(fèi)指數(shù)上升，第五層次還會(huì)出現(xiàn)嗎？還是繼續(xù)停留在第四個(gè)層次上對(duì)奢侈品（luxuries）和個(gè)人服務(wù)的需求呢？
6. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when __________
A. he has saved up enough money
B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C. he has satisfied his hunger

10. The author tends to think that the fifth level __________
A. would be little better than the fourth level
B. may be a lot more desirable than the first four
C. can be the last and most satisfying level

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. (80) In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese "surprise" can be described in a phrase like ""they stretched out their tongues!"" Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.
Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people""s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.
[文章大意及重要詞匯]
我們既用語言也用肢體語言（gestures）來表達(dá)我們的感情，但是問題是在各地人們對(duì)這些語言和動(dòng)作的理解上出現(xiàn)差異。
無庸質(zhì)疑，微笑在不同語言里都代表相同的意義，大笑或者哭也是如此。而不同的動(dòng)物傳達(dá)同種感情的方式，卻有許多驚人的相似之處（striking similarities）。例如，人類、老虎、狗在生氣時(shí)常會(huì)露出牙齒。這可能是由于他們生來具有相同的行為模式。
害怕、恐懼作為另一種情感表達(dá)方式，在全世界表達(dá)的方式大部分都是相同的，在中國和英國的文學(xué)中，有這樣的言語：“他臉色蒼白，渾身顫抖”，表示他很害怕或受到很大打擊。然而“他睜大了眼睛”在中文中表示的意思是生氣、憤怒，在英文中意思則表示吃驚。在中國文學(xué)中描述驚訝詞是用短語“吐出舌頭（stretched out）”來表示，而在英文伸長舌頭中則表示侮辱或強(qiáng)烈的厭惡。
即使處于同種文化，人們的理解能力和表達(dá)情感的方式也有所不同。美國曾就此做過實(shí)驗(yàn)，結(jié)論證明女人在害怕、生氣、喜歡上的敏感度要強(qiáng)烈于男人，其他的研究還顯示老人比年輕人更加容易理解肢體語言。
