满分45分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该涂黑。
A
What is intelligence , anyway ? When I was in the army I received a kind of aptitude (能力) test that all soldiers took and , against a normal of 100 , I scored 160 .
All my life I’ve been receiving scores like that , so that I have the self-satisfactory feeling that I’m highly intelligent , and I expect other people to think so , too .
For instance , I had an auto-repair man once , who on these intelligence tests , could not possibly have scored more than 80 , by my estimate . I always took it for granted that I was far more intelligent than he was . Yet , when anything went wrong with my car I hastened to him with it and he always fixed my car .
When , then , suppose my auto-repair man think out questions for an intelligence test . Or suppose a carpenter did , or a farmer , or , indeed , almost anyone but an academician (院士) . By every one of those tests , I’d prove myself a fool . And I’d be a fool , too .
Consider my auto-repaire man , again . He had a habit of telling me jokes whenever he saw me . One time he raised his head from under the automobile hood (盖) to say :“ Doc , a deaf-and-dumb guy went into a hardware(五金器具) store to ask for nails . He put two fingers together on the counter and made hammering motions with the other hand . The clerk brought him a hammer . He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering The clerk brought him nails . He picked out the sizes he wanted , and left . Well doc , the next guy who came in was a blind man . He wanted scissors . How do you suppose he asked for them ?”
I lifted my right hand and made scissors motions with the first two fingers . My auto-repair man laughed heartily and said , “ Why , you dumb fool , he used his voice and asked for them .” Then he said , smugly , “ I’ve been trying that on all my customers toaday .” “ Did you catch many ?” I asked . “ Quite a few , ” he said , “ but I knew for sure I’d catch you .” “ Why is that ” I asked . Because you ‘re so goddamned (讨厌地. 该死地) educated , doc , I knew you couldn’t be very smart .”
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there .
41. The normal score of the aptitude test is
A. 160 B. 80 C. 100 D. 140
42. The author used to believe that
A. he was far more intelligent than his auto-repair man.
B. the auto-repair man was more intelligent than he was .
C. they were equals in intelligence .
D. they were smart in different ways .
43. When the auto-repair man tried the tricky question on the author
A. he had no idea what the result would be .
B. he was certain that the author would be caught .
C. he knew that the author would give the correct answer .
D. he knew that the author would gaive an unusual answer .
44. In the opinion of the auto-repair man ,
A. educated people are more intelligent .
B. there is no difference between the intelligence of educated and uneducated people .
C. too much education only makes a person stupid sometimes .
D. IQ tests don’t mean a thing .
B
When I was about six years old , my mother came home one day and found
that I had collected half dozen babies of the neighbourhood---all of them too
young to walk --- and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was
teaching them to wave their arms . When she asked the explanation of this , I
informed her that it was my school of dance . She was amused , and placing
herself at the piano , she began to play for me . This school continued and
became very popular . Later on , little girls of the neighbourhood came and their
parents paid me a small sum to teach them . This was the beginning of what
afterwards proved a very well-paid occupation .
My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher , but his lessons did not
please me . When the taecher told me to stand on my toes , I asked him why ,
and when he replied “ Because it is beautiful ,” I said that it was ugly and
against nature and after the third lesson , I left his class , never to return.
This stiff and commomplace gymnastics which he called dancing only
disturbed my dream . I dreamed of a different dance . I did not know just
what it would be but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which
I guess I might enter if I found the key .
My art was already in me when I was a little girl , and it was owing to the
heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not stifled . I believe that
whatever the child is going to do in life should be begun when it is very young . I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children , they are only driving them into the commonplace , and refuse them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original.
45. The attitude of the author’s mother toward her school of dance was one of ______ .
A. boring B. tired C. support D. cold
46. The author thought that ballet was _______
A. the most graceful dance
B. stiff, ugly and unnatural
C. a dance that she had dreamed of
D. an invisible world into which she guessed she might enter
47. According to the author , she owed her success in art to _____ .
A. the good education her parents gave her
B. the support of her understanding and adventurous mother
C. her inborn talent
D. her ballet teacher
48. The central idea of the passage is that ________ .
A. parents should try to discover the natural gift in their children and help to develop it while they are young
B. the so-called good education parents give their children only drives them into the commonplaces and refuses them of any chance of doing anything original
C. mothers should e heroic and adventurous
D. ballet is no good as a form of dance
