Anne Waston played an important role in designing the Sydney Opera HouseBOn a hot summer day, our van (a large box-like car that can carry a lot of people) pulled up to the ranch(牧场) to start a three-month program for troubled boys. Bill was the owner of the ranch. We made eye contact through the dusty window and hesmiled at me and touched his cowboy hat in welcome.All summer long, Bill and his ranch-hands taught us to ride horses, tie dried grass into a large block, cut wood, and round up cattle. We started to understand the value of working with our hands, and we respected him for his knowledge and gentleleadership. Knowing how important it was for boys like me to know that someone believed in them, he trusted us to do the job and do it right. We didn t want to let him down. Several times he took me fishing and we not only talked about how to fish, butalso about my dreams and what I wanted from life. He encouraged me to make goals and shared stories from his own experiences.The last day at the ranch, Bill pulled me aside and praised me for the work I had done that summer -not only on theranch, but also on myself. He told me if lever needed anything I could count on him. Four years later; I took him up on that offer. I called him up and asked for a job. I told him how his confidence in me had given me the courage to change my life. He offered me a job on the spot.

People probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. However, they can also be similarin ways of connecting with each other. We sometimes call these means of communication universal languages.Some legends hold that, thousands of years ago, there was a single language spoken by everyone on Earth. It is fun to think about a time when everyone may have been able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this, of course.Today, there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. Yet, there are some means of communication thatgo beyond words and allow people of wildly different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learned that, across cultures, people can recognize three common emotions in music: happiness, sadness and fear.So what other types of universal languages might there be? Some people believe dance is a universal language. Along with music, dancing seems to be a common interest shared by peoples all over the world. Do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it? We bet you could!Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! If you think about it now, though, it just makes sense. The value of pi is roughly 3.14159 no matter where you are on Earth. Likewise, figuring out the value of something involvesthe same mathematical calculations, regardless of whether you re counting in dollars, pesos or coconuts.28. The underlined word this in Paragraph 2 probably refers to _A. the evidence that proves old languages funnyB. the fact that there used to be many languagesC. the view that people only used one languageD. the doubt that people didn t understand each other29. Music is regarded as a universal language probably because _A. it can be understood more easily than languagesB. it can be enjoyed by people from all walks of lifeC. it usually comes from different backgroundsD.it helps people to share common feelings .30. What are the universal languages according to the passage?A. Math, English and music.B. Music, dance and math.C. History, culture and music.D. Emotion, pi and music:31. Which of the following best tells the structure of this passage?Think again before raising an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, sibling or colleague as they could help make you smarter.New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be lifted throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching careers. The studychallenges the common belief that intelligence is static by the age of 18. Currentscientific consensus suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age.After this point IQ scores stabilize.But James Flynn, professor of political studies and psychology at a university of New Zealand, argues that people can upgrade their own intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation from others is crucial as the brainseems to be rather like a muscle-the more you use it, the stronger it gets . However, the opposite is also true - so people sharing a home or workplace with those who are intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels fall as a result.He found the. cognitive (认知) quality of a family changes the IQs of all members, especially children. It can lift or hold back, depending on the gap between their brightness and that of their siblings and parents . A bright ten-year-old with siblings of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage, compared to a similar child with equally bright siblings. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eightpoints by having brighter siblings and special educational treatment to help pull them up.Professor Flynn also concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80 percent of intelligence, the remaining 20 percent is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. Therefore, the best way to boost IQ level is to mix with bright friends, find an intellectually challenging job and marry someone cleverer.32. We can learn from the passage that_ .A. as the age grows, you will become smarterB. a 35-year-old man is surely smarter than himself at the age of 18C. you will be smarter if you have a partner, a friend or a siblingD. after 18, you still have the possibility to become smarter33. The underlined word static in the 3rd paragraph probably means .A. unstableB. fixedC. variedD. repeated34. James Flynn holds the belief thatA. intellectual stimulation from others can change one sIQB. people should completely avoid those intellectually challengedC. one s IQ could be held back if he has bright brothers or sistersD. one s IQ is least influenced by the understanding level of a family35.What s the best title for the passage?A. Genetics Determines Intelligence.B. Watch Out for Intelligence Falling.C. Bright Siblings Make You Smarter.D. Brain s Just Like Muscle.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
