In this part there are 4 passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets. For the past several years, the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade has featured a column called "Ask Marilyn". People are invited query Marilyn vos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old; that gave her an IQ of 228—the highest score ever recorded. IQ tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce numerical sequences, among other similar tasks, so it is a hit confusing when vos Savant fields such queries from the aver age Joe (whose IQ is 100)as. What’s the difference between love and fondness Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence It’s not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers. Clearly, intelligence encompasses more than a score on a test, Just what does it mean to be smart How much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we earn about it from neurology, genetics, computer and other fields The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are not given as often as alley used to be. The test comes primrily in two forms: the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales (both come in adult and children’s version). Generally costing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variations of them populate book stores and the World Wide Web. Superhigh scores like vos Savant’s are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers, Rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by Other standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Assessmen: Test (SAT)and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE),capture the main aspects of IQ tests. Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article "How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing", Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytica and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowl- edge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. Moreover IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership—that is, it predicted the opposite. Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it’s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.Which of the following may be required in an intelligence test ？（） A.nswering philosophical questions.B. Folding or cutting paper into different shapes.C. Telling the differences between certain concepts. D.Choosing words or graphs similar to the given ones.

Part III Reading Comprehension(30 points)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading material carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 31 to 35. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Two points are given to each correct choice.It is a well-known fact that the English have an impression with their weather and that, given half a chance, they will talk about it at length. Some people argue that it is because English weather defies forecast and hence is a source of interest and speculation to everyone. This may be so certainly Englishmen cannot have much faith in the meteorological experts—the weathermen—who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong when an anti-cyclone over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate—or as inaccurate—as the weathermen in his predictions. This helps to explain the seemingly odd sight of an Englishmen leaving home on a bright, sunny, summer morning with a raincoat slung over his arm and an umbrella in his hand. So variable is the weather that by lunch time it could be pouring.The overseas visitors may be excused for showing surprise at the number of references to weather that the English make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often traditional greetings are replaced by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful!” may be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worth pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman (or woman) but is at a loss where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will provoke an answer from even most reserved of Englishmen.31. The phrase "at length" in the first sentence means ___.A. at last B. in the endC. for a short time D. in detail

[单选] Ship’s steering gear refers to（）。A. cargo handling machinesB. deck winches and derricksC. engine-room toolsD. course controlling system

Choose the best answer English is more important now. Almost everyone knows that we should learn English well. But it is difficult for many students to learn it well. Now I make some suggestions, maybe they can help you learn it well. If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passage or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening and preferably taking some notes. Speaking is different among the four skills in learning English. The other three you can do alone on your own, but you can’t really speak alone. Then how can you practice speaking? Where can you find people to speak English with? There is a saying: practice makes perfect. That is to say, we should talk with our partners in English as much as we can. At school you should use the chance to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs with other students, try to say as much as possible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak! If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.【小题1】According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
