Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension

Section A
Directions: There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1
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.
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 and he tries to get in touch with everything around him. 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.

1. According to this passage, intelligence is ______.

A.the ability to study well
B.the ability to do well in school
C.the ability to deal with life
D.the ability to get high scores on some tests

A B C D

2. In a new situation, an intelligent person

A.knows more about what might happen to him
B.is sure of the result he will get
C.concentrates on what to do about the situation
D.cares more about himself

A B C D

3. If an intelligent person failed, he would

A.try not to feel ashamed
B.learn from his experiences
C.try to regret as much as possible
D.make sure what result be would get

A B C D

4. Bright children and not-bright children ______.

A.are two different types of children
B.are different mainly in their degree of cleverness
C.have difference only in their way of thinking
D.have different knowledge about the world

A B C D

5. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about ______.

A.how to determine what intelligence is

C.how to solve practical problems
D.how an unintelligent person should be taught

A B C D

Passage 2
The traditional American Thanksgiving Day celebration goes back to 1621. In that year a special feast was prepared in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The colonists who had settled there had left England because they were denied of religious freedom. They came to the new land and faced difficulties in coming across the ocean.
The ship that carried them was called the Mayflower. The North Atlantic was difficult to travel. There were bad storms. They were assisted in learning to live in the land by the Indians who lived in the region. The Puritans, as they were called, had much to be thankful for. Their religious practices were no longer a source of criticism by the government. They learned to adjust their farming habits to the climate and soil.
When they selected the fourth Thursday of November for their Thanksgiving Celebration, they invited their neighbors, the Indians, to join them in dinner and a prayer of gratitude for the new life. They recalled the group of 102 men, women and children who left England. They remembered their dead who did not live to see the shores of Massachusetts. They reflected on the 5 days journey that tested their strength.

Passage 3
The world's rainforests cover less than ten percent of the earth's surface, but contain over forty percent of all plant and animal species. The biggest rainforest is in South America, it's called the Amazon.
Amazon is by far the largest remaining rainforest area left on our planet. It's about 6 to 7 million square kilometers. It's about two-thirds the size of the United States including Alaska. It's enormous. Sixty percent of it is in Brazil, but the rainforest also extends into Bolivia, Peru, E-cuador, Colombia, Venezuela, French Guiana and Surinam. And amazingly each year the Amazon provides twenty percent of the world's fresh water. Here you can find at least 60～70 thousand plant species and at least 3 thousand species of fresh water fish. And more monkeys than you find anywhere else on the earth. In Brazil alone nine new species of monkeys have been identified over the last year.
But many of those species, known and unknown, are destroyed every day. Moreover, constant logging, mining and raising domestic animals cause a gradual disappearance of the Amazon jungles.

Passage 4
Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war.
The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.
France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.
The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.

1. The word "gain" in Para. 3 means

A.get
B.buy
C.lose
D.sell

A B C D

2. General Wolfe died in

Part Ⅳ Translation
Directions: You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1 I have never been away from home before going to college. 2 Just before I left, parents told me to learn to be independent so that I could deal with the possibly-encountered problems when they were not with me. 3 They repeatedly emphasized the importance of self-reliance but I didn't take it seriously.
On the first weekend after entering college, I decided to wash my clothes. 4 Entering washing-room, I was suddenly at a loss. I have never washed clothes, so I didn't know where to start, even forgot to use washing powder. Being busy for a while, I couldn't make it. 5 I was so tired and embarrassed that I really want to give up, however, I knew I must depend on myself at that time.
6 Only when I was faced with difficulties and no one could do me a favor did I realize the importance of self-reliance. For the youth, it's rather significant to learn to solve problems and overcome difficulties independently in their future career.

在上大学之前，我从没有离开过家。

临行前，父母叮嘱我要学着自立，这样当家人不在身边时，我就能处理可能遇到的问题。

他们反复强调自立的重要性，我当时不以为然。

走进盥洗室，我忽然有些不知所措。

我又累又窘，真想放弃，但此时我必须靠自已。

只有在遇到困难而又无法依赖他人时，我才意识到自立的重要性。
