So the second factor is what happens to the individual —the sort of environ ment in which he is reared. If an individual is 4 environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is 5 .The importance of environment in determining an individual‘s intelligence can be 6 by the case history of Peter and Mark X.

A simple example is that humans often say that colors and color schemes have temperature, for examp le reds and oranges are warm and blues are cool.These sorts of reactions are pretty straight-forward, as the colors are directly associated in our mi nds with temperatures: orange-red fire, cool blue water, cold ice and snow. More interesting and co ntroversial is the idea that colors have psychological associations.Color affects the feeling of timeTwo experimenters were asked to enter into two rooms to experience 1 hour in the rooms without timing tool. One room was painted and all furniture in red and another in blue. The result was: the person in red-furnished room reported that he had stayed for about 40-50 minutes while the other in blue-furnished room reported 60-70 minutes.Color has weightFor example, sky blue is light color but dark brown is heavy color. A box in white has the same psychological weight with the actual weight. The psychological weight of box in yellow has 10% more than the actual weight; if in black, it will have 80% more than real.Advancing color & Receding colorAdvancing color: colors which seem to move forward in the reader‘s vision usually are warm col ors, such as red, orange and some yellow. Receding colors: colors seem to move back. Usually are cool colors, such as blue, green and violet. When choosing a car, one might consider many factors li ke style, speed, trend, safety and color. Most would not think that the last two are linked any way. Research shows that there is a correlation between color of car and car accidents. In research, blue vehicles have highest rate of traffic accidents. Because blue is receding color which looks more far away than actual distance.Color affects appetiteIn experiments, the results show the red, yellow could give people a good appetite, by compared, purple or dark green will make people loss appetite. Therefore, the Purple Potato is good diet food31.What is the passage mainly about?A.The study of the field of color psychology.B.The different colors have different effects in the feeling of time.C.Some experimental results about advancing color and receding color.D.The study of the relation between color and emotion.32.How many functions are mentioned in the passage about color?A.2 kinds of functionsB.3 kinds of functionsC.4 kinds of functionsD.5 kinds of functions33.Which of the following statements is True?A.The black boxes look 90% heavier than the white ones.B.Red cars may have lower rate of traffic accidents than the green ones.C.Tables and chairs at restaurants should be painted in cold color like purple and green.D.Smart boss will decorate meeting room with red, which will make time seem shorter.34.When summer is coming, why most of electric fans are cold colors according to the passage?A.Warm colors give the impression that the wind it blows is cool.B.Cold colors give the impression that the wind it blows is cool.C.Red fans can‘t sell well because red belongs to warm color.D.Green fans can sell well because green belongs to cold color.35.What does the phrase "the last two" in the fifth paragraph refer to?A.style and speedB.trend and speedC.speed and colorD.safety and colorCWhen Danny Bowman was at school, he was so desperate to attract girls, he spent 10 hours a day taking more than 200 selfies(自拍) trying to find the perfect image.But his addiction, which began at the age of 15, caused him to drop out of school and lose almost two stones in weight. He would take 10 photos of himself before he washed and would sneak out of class three times every hour. At 16, he dropped out of school so he could focus on his addiction, and his diet began to deteriorate.He did not leave his house in Newcastle upon Tyne for six months, and when he failed to take the flawless shot, he tried to kill himself by taking an overdose.The 19-year-old believed to be Britain‘s first selfie addict, has now had therapy to treat his techn ology addiction, OCD and Body dimorphic disorder — an excessive anxiety about personal appeara nce.He has not taken a picture of himself in seven months, and has realized that achieving perfection is impossible. He told the Sunday Mirror: "I was constantly in search of taking the perfect selfie an d when I realized I couldn‘t, I wanted to die. I lost my friends, my education, my health and almost my life. The only thing I cared about was having my phone with me so I could satisfy the urge to ca pture a picture of myself at any time of the day." He would look at photos of his "idol" Leonardo Di Caprio and would then replicate his poses. Danny‘s dream was to become a male model.The selfie craze has grown in past five years, with stars, politicians and even Pope Francis postin g getting involved in the sensation. But one psychologist at a clinic where Danny was treated said th e addiction with taking selfies has now become a mental illness. Now determined to raise awareness of the anxiety disorder, Danny is working with Fixers – helping young people to "fix" the issues th at bother them. He said their help has kept him alive and called on others to seek help before they end up in hospital.36."Fixers" mentioned in the last paragraph may be _____?A.a national charityB.a warm-hearted volunteerC.a well-organized activityD.a kind of hospital37.The underlined word "deteriorate" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A.become lessB.become worseC.become helplessD.become endless38.What can be inferred about the description of Danny‘s selfie?A.He cared about nothing except his own image.B.He liked selfie with the purpose to attract girls‘ attention.C.He was on the way to normal.D.He once took overdoses to kill himself.39.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce a strange personB.To warn the terrible effect of selfies addictionC.To appeal to us to remove the habit of selfiesD.To remind us of a kind of mental disease40.Which is the best title of the passage?A.A kind of mental diseaseB.An experience of a teenage boyC.A teenage boy‘s dream to be a male modelD.A teenage boy addicted to taking selfiesDThe secret to effectively leading cooperation at work is finding a middle ground between too much and too little team think, where managers encourage and monitor workplace cooperation rather than simply ask for it to happen.In the US, assignments that require ideas from different people, or brainstorming sessions where the group decides a matter, are generally disliked. And that‘s understandable. Consider the first tim e anybody asked you to work on a project with someone else. It was likely back in third grade, whe n a teacher paired you up with a partner to write a paper or build a new device to drop an egg fro m two stories up. Chances are, one of you did all the work and the other sat back and took credit. "Those early sour experiences set the stage for disliking team projects in the future," says E Allan Lind, professor of leadership at Duke University‘s Fuqua School of Business." And few managers know how to help people cooperate more effectively.""If better cooperation is your goal, you must start by teaching and inspiring front-line managers", said Mark Horwitch, a Colorado-based partner at global management consulting firm Bain & Comp any. The company says what managers should use to improve cooperation — and thus better busine ss in the long run: empowerment, openness, and co-creation. Those three things, if you think about it, really just boil down to(浓缩为) giving employees control, being honest and then allowing those employees to work together to solve problems. They‘re all basic rules — but few managers know how to handle them."You have to believe that someone else‘s idea can be better than yours," Horwitch said.To successfully promote cooperation, managers must actively authorize a business model where good ideas come out of working together. They must also achieve the agreement that real cooperati on equals innovation, and be on the watch for communication breakdowns.41.The author explained why in the US brainstorming sessions are generally disliked by _____.A.making a comparisonB.giving some examplesC.creating a real situationD.making a simile(比喻)42.What does the underlined phrase "took credit" mean in the second paragraph?A.owe successB.keep silenceC.show offD.watch on43.What is the implication of co-creation?A.giving employees controlB.being honestC.allowing those employees to work togetherD.knowing how to handle them44.According to Horwitch, _____.A.People don‘t want to have team projects because of uncomfortable experience before.B.It is believed that anyone else‘s ideas may be not as good as yours.C.The key to better cooperation is to start by teaching and inspiring front-line managers.D.Better business in the long run should follow three basic rules.45.What is purpose for the last paragraph?A.To offer the suggestions to managers.B.To advocate the innovation of managers.C.To promote the co-operation at team work.D.To arouse the possibility of communication breakdowns.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
