Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence.But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.
The so-called “non-intelligence factors” include one’s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits.After a 30-year follow up study of 8,000 males, American psychologists50that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence51      , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.
52people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to      53     these factors.
Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies.They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition(营养不良) or laziness, but they never take54consideration these non-intelligence factors.At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these, as reasons55students do poorly.They simply give them more courses and exercises, or56     criticize or laugh at them.After all, these students lose self-confidence.Some of them just feel defeated and57themselves up as hopeless.Others may go astray(堕落)because they are sick of learning.An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 percent of them were58of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 percent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10.3 percent were sick of learning.
It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main      59
to intelligence development in teenagers.It even causes an imbalance between physiological and  60  development among a few students.
If we don’t start now to61the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation.Some experts have put forward62about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.
First, parents and teachers should63understand teenage psychology.On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning,      64their interests and toughening their willpower.

科目:高中英语 来源:黑龙江省大庆试验中学2009-2010学年高二下学期期中考试试题(英语) 题型:阅读理解


How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There’s a catch, however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can’t leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.
Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise people’s awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.
To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Pam, a 27-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum.
The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn’t stand up without banging their heads. They ate vegetables and drink water from a garden hose-pipe(橡胶软管). Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”
Finally it was over, and Pam and Eric came out of the cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It’s great for me to be able to stand up.” he said. Pam just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn’t want to talk to anyone.
1.What kind of person is Rob Thompson?
A. He is curious about people’s personal life   B.He is kind—hearted to animals
C.He dislike people around                 D. He likes to help poor people
2. The underlined word “catch”(in Paragraph 1) probably means _______.
A. unsolved problem                      B. surprising wonder
C. unbelievable condition                  D. hidden difficulty
3. What made it the most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?
A. That they had nothing for amusement.
B. That they couldn’t lie down to sleep in the cage.
C. That they had to do almost everything under others’ very eyes.
D. That they didn’t have meat to eat.
4. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. An Easy Way to Earn $2,500            B. Do Not Feed Humans
C. Living Like a Chicken                 D. Getting Along Well Anyway
