Strangely ___51___, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius ___52____ a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in boring environment will develop his intelligence less than the one who lives in rich and varied surrounding. Thus the ___53___ of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his ___54___. This view, not held by most experts can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent ___55___ we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people ___56___, it is likely

that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins they will likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have ___57___ intelligence and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. B. enough B. into B. qualities ___58___ now that we take identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment ___59___ birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the ___60___ that people who live in close contact with each other. But who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 51.

Passage One Part IV Reading Comprehension(30%) Fourteen-year-old Sean MeCallum lay in a hospital bed waiting for a new heart. Without it, Sean would die. Sean’s case is not unusual. Everyday many people die because there just aren’t enough human organs to go around. Now scientists say they can alter the genetic make-up of certain animals so that their organs may be acceptable to humans. With this gene-altering technique to overcome our immune rejection to foreign organs, scientists hope to use pig heart for transplants by the year 2008. That prospect, however, has stirred up strong opposition among animal fight activities. They protest that that the whole idea of using animal organs is cruel and unjust. Some scientists also fear such transplants may transform unknown diseases to humans. Others believe transplanting animal organs into humans is unnecessary. Millions of dollars spent on breeding pigs for their organs could be better spent on health education programs. They believe seventy-five percent of the heart disease cases that lead to a need for organ transplant are preventable. The key is to convince people to eat healthily, and not to smoke or drink alcohol. Scientists could also use research funds to improve artificial organs. Still others believe that though new inventions and prevention programs may help, spending money to encourage more people to donate their organs is an even better idea. If enough people were educated about organ donations, everyone who needed

an organ could be taken off the waiting list in a year. 61. What is the problem the passage begins with? A. High mortality rate of immune rejection. B. A malpractice in heart transplantation. C. An unusual case of organ transplant. D. A shortage of human organs. 62. Not only is the gene-altering technique a technical issue, according to the passage but also it _________________________. A. introduces an issue of inhumanity B. raises the issue of justice in medicine C. presents a significant threat to human nature D. pushes the practice of organ transplant to the limits 63. Doubtful of the necessity of using animal organs, some scientists ___________________. A. are to narrow the scope of organ transplants B. switch to the development of artificial organs C. come up with alternatives to the current problem D. set out to pursue better ways of treating heart disease 64. It can be inferred from the concluding paragraph of the passage that __________________. A. the gene-altering technique will help those waiting for organ transplants B. the present supply of human organs still has potential to be explored C. people prefer the use of animal organs for medical purposes D. the gene-altering technique leaves much to believed 65. The information the passage carries is __________________________. A. enlightening B. unbelievable C. imaginative D. factual Passage Two There is a great irony of 21st century global health: While many hundreds of millions of people lack adequate food as a result of economic inequities, political corruption, or warfare, many hundreds of millions more are overweight to the point of increased risk for diet-related chronic diseases. Obesity is a worldwide phenomenon, affecting children as well as adults and forcing all but the poorest countries to divert scarce resources away from food security to take care of people with preventable heart disease and diabetes. To reverse the obesity epidemic, we must address the fundamental cause. Overweight comes from consuming more food energy than is expended in activity. The cause of this imbalance also is ironic: improved prosperity. People use extra income to eat more and be less physically active. Market economies encourage this. They make people with expendable income into consumers of aggressively marketed foods that are high in energy but low in nutritional value, and of cars, television set, and computers that promote sedentary behaviour. Gaining weight are good business. Food is particularly business because everyone eats. Moreover, food is so overproduced that many countries, especially the rich ones,

have far more than they need - another irony. In the United States, to take an extreme example, most adults-of all ages, incomes, educational levels, and census categories – are overweight. The U.S. food supply provides 3800 kilocalories per person per day, nearly twice as much as required by many adults. Overabundant food forces companies to compete for sales through advertising, health claims, new products, large portions. And campaigns directed toward children. Food marketing promotes weight gain. Indeed, it is difficult to think of any major industry that might benefit if people eat less food; certainly not the agriculture, food product, grocery, restaurant, diet or drug industries. All flourish when people eat more. And all employ armies of lobbyists to discourage government from doing anything to inhibit overeating. 66. The great irony of 21st century global public health refers to _____________. A. the cause of obesity and its counteractive measures B. the inefficient and superfluous consumption of food C. the seas natural resource and the green of food source D. the consumption of food and the increased risk for diet-related diseases 67. To address the fundamental cause of the obesity epidemic, according to the passage, is _______. A. to improve political and economic management B. to cope with the energy imbalance issue C. to combat diet-related chronic diseases D. to increase investment in global health 68. As we can learn from the passage, the second irony refers to _____________. A. affluence and obesity B. food energy and nutritional value C. food business and economic prosperity D. diseases of civilization and pathology of inactivity 69. As a result of the third irony, people _____________________. A. consume 3800 kilocalories on a daily basis B. complain about food overproduction C. have to raise their food expenses D. are driven towards weight gain 70. Which of the following can be excluded as we can understand based on the passage? A. The economic dimension. C. The humane dimension. B. The political dimension D. The dietary dimension Passage Three Women find a masculine face with a large jaw and a prominent brow more attractive when they are more likely to conceive, according to a study published in the June 24 Nature. Before, during, and just after menstruation, however, they seem to be drawn to less angular, more “feminine” male faces, the researchers report. “Other studies of female preference, mainly for odors, show changes across the menstrual cycle,” says leading author Ian Penton-Voak of the University of St. Andrews on Scotland. “ we thought it would be interesting to look at visual preferences and see if they changed also.

The research showed 39 Japanese women composite male faces that emphasized masculine Dr feminine facial features to differing degrees. The women preferred images with more muscular features when they were in the fertile phase of their menses but favored more feminine features during their less fertile phase. The type of face women find attractive also seems to depend on the kind of relationship they wish to pursue, according to another experiment. The cyclic preference for muscular faces was evident among 23 British women asked to choose the most attractive face for a short-term relationship, Penton-Voak says. The 26 women asked to choose an attractive face for a long-term relationship, however, preferred the more feminine features throughout their menstrual cycle. Another 22 women who were using oral contraceptives did not show monthly changes in the faces they preferred even for short-term relationships, indicating that hormones might play a role in determining attractiveness, Penton-Voak says. Men whose faces have some feminine softness are perceived as “kinder’ men who may make better husbands and partners, he adds, while macho features may be associated with higher testosterone(睾丸素) levels and good genes. He cautions, however, that research hasn’t yet shown a link between a woman’s preferences in such tests and her actual behavior. 71. The researchers made a study on _____________________. A. women’s menstrual cycle B. men’s preferred female images C. women’s visual preferences of men D. men’s masculine and feminine features 72. Women are drawn to a masculine face, according to the researchers, when they ___________. A. grow to be feminine C. are ready for conception B. are on oral contraceptives D. are on menstruation 73. It was found in Britain that women’s preferred male images were influenced by ___________. A. their family planning B. the years of marriage they had C. the length of their menstrual cycle D. the term or relationship they seek 74. Just because the studies of female preferences show changes across the menstrual cycle, as Penton-Voak implies, does not mean that __________________. A. visual preferences do exist B. a woman acts this way is reality C. a man will buy into the phenomenon D. men and women prefer the same image 75. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Does a woman judge from a man’s appearance? B. Is there such a thing as beauty in the world? C. Are women more emotional than men? D. Is beauty more than meets the eye?
