Passage 1

This story began about 10 years ago. I was coming out of a very bad marriage. For seven long years my husband spent his every waking moment telling me just what was wrong with me. When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive. This went to on for about two years. One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that is when I met him.

  Clint was playing a game with a girl. I sat in the corner watching him. I didn’t feel that I had whatever it took to get up and mix with other because of my self-esteem problem. Finally I got up the courage to order a drink for him. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling smile. We spent the rest of the evening talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I had bought him a drink, but the very next day he called and told me that he could not stop thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids too.

  About 3 months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with then if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval because they were the “men of the house” at the ripe old ages of 2 and 4. They said yes and we have all been together ever since. Clint gave me and my boys a second chance at a wonderful life. Not a day goes by that he doesn’t tell us that we are the best thing that ever happened to him and that he loves us.

Passage 2

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, and an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up — we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

Color does influence our moods ― there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray.

11. The author regards the psychologists’ findings as _____.

A. groundless B. doubtful

C. reasonable D. Unusual

答案：

解析：第一段中间表明此意。

A. is formed as he grows up    B. is acquired through experience

C. is decided by his surroundings D. is possessed from birth

  答案：

解析：第一段倒数第二句表明此意。

13. It can be concluded from the passage that bright color lovers tend to be _____.

A. quiet   B. active   C. depressive   D. pessimistic

答案：

解析：最后一段第一句表明此意。

14. The example of the bridge is used to illustrate that _____.

A. people tend to kill themselves by jumping from bridges

B. color can affect people’s moods to a great degree

C. the bridge should have been repainted earlier

D. certain color can kill people sometimes

答案：

解析：倒数第二段表明此意。

15. The notion that machines painted orange can reduce the risk of accidents ______.

A. is a well-accepted fact B. remains to be proved

C. is an illusion of workers D. is a good wish of scientists

答案：

解析：倒数第二段表明此意。

Passage 3

   At 26, Jane Goodall had no college education or science training. But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. “All through my childhood people said you can’t go to Africa. You’re a girl,” Goodall says. “But my mother used to say, if you really want to, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

   In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall journeyed to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees in a remote animal preserve, recording the animals’ behavior and interactions.

   For three months Goodall made little progress. But she says, “I never came close to giving up.” Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a blade of grass into a termite hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she approached the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites clinging to it. The discovery – that some animals use tools – was unknown to most scientists at the time.

Goodall saw chimpanzees exhibit human-like emotions, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other.

Goodall received her ph. D. in the study of animal behavior at England’s Cambridge University. Now she travels around the globe raising money to preserve wildlife. “I love being in the forest with the chimps,” she says. “I’d much rather be there than traveling around from city to city.”

16. What was Goodall’s childhood dream?

A. She dreamed of going to college.

B. She dreamed of studying animals in Africa.

C. She dreamed of becoming a famous scientist.

D. She dreamed of traveling all around the world.

答案：

解析：第一段表明此意。

17. What did Goodall’s mother think of her dream?

A. As a girl she should not go to the African jungle.

B. Her dream would remain a dream unless she got the right training.

C. As a girl she should stay away from violent animals.

D. She could make her dream come true if she was determined.

答案：

解析：第一段最后一句话表明此意。

18. Goodall’s most important discovery is that _____.

A. some animals use tools.

B. Like humans animals have emotions.

C. Chimpanzees could attack each other violently.

D. Termites are chimpanzees’ favorite food.

答案：

解析：第三段表明此意。
