16、rk the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Shortly after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, a lady was asked what she thought of the idea that humans and animals came down from a common an

17、cestor (祖先). "Let us hope it is not true," she said. "And, if it is true, let us hope it does not become public knowledge."This story is probably untrue, but it illustrates well the attitudes of the time. Today, we are more comfortable with our past. Many people accept Darwin'

18、; s view of how we came into being - that our bodies' evolved through the process of natural selection acting on our genes.However, Darwin believed evolution was responsible for far more than just our physical characteristics. He saw it as the major influence in shaping our psychology. Indeed, h

19、e predicted that "in the distant future, psychology will be based on a new foundation." This foundation was, of course, his theory of evolution.To those in favor of concepts like free will and personal responsibility, such an idea seems quite stupid. But a growing number of scientists are

20、questioning the extent to which our behavior is controlled by our culture. Their research has revealed increasing evidence that the human mind is made up of natural mechanisms (if; h-g,), which control everything from the way we perceive (感知) time and space, to how we learn survival techniques and c

21、hoose mates.21. The story about the lady suggests that, in Darwin's time, the theory of evolution made many people feelA) embarrassed B) delighted C) comfortable D) miserable22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2A) People's attitudes towards Darwin's view

23、ence C) was to blame forB) had the duty of D) was the cause of24. According to Darwin's view, our psychology A) will change greatly in the future B) has nothing to do with evolution C) is mainly shaped by evolutionD) is shaped by our physical characteristics25. If Darwin's view on our psycho

24、logy is correct, what controls our behaviorA) The characteristics of our culture. B) The mechanisms of our mind.C) The way we perceive time and space.D) The way we live and choose mates.Passage FourQuestions are based on the following passage.November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United Stat

25、es. Voters all across the nation are electing representatives in local and national races. Some people think they are voting for the president of our country too. They're not! Again, they're voting for representatives, who are called electors.In most states the electors are chosen on a winne

26、r-take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his opponent.The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for the president and the vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution (憲法

27、) does not force the electors to vote for the candidates that they promise to vote for, but they almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in the Congress.If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, a

28、t least 270 out of 538, the winners will be chosen by the Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and the Senate (參議院) will choose the vice-president. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice-president

29、from another.26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph'.A) Electors are representatives of local and national races.B) Local voters are usually referred to as electors.C) Electors are chosen by representatives for each state.D) Local voters have the right to

30、choose the US president directly.27. What should the electors d67A) Promise to vote for popular candidates.B) Vote for the candidates they promise to.C) Gather in the Congress to vote for the president.D) Vote for the president in their respective states.28.

33、ose who join the ranks of the early retirees and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States $200 billion are spent on health care each yea

34、r. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4.8 million people.Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent years. This is probably due to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writing of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also playe

35、d an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent sur

36、vey showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious that they trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards of the hard and tiring marathons(馬拉松) that are organized all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu , I was amazed to see hundreds of people, you

37、ng and old, running for their lives. And I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian Marathon. Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, “ You look like a runner; how far do you run each day” A few days later when I ap

38、peared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found that this is a subject on many peoples minds.31.

44、It is very difficult to evaluate another persons performance fairly. For example, Santa recently wrote irresponsible remarks about her teacher because she was failing the course. Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous description of the same teacher because he was receiving an A in the course. Both Santa

45、and Sam were not fairly evaluating the teacher. They were influence by the grades they were earning and were unfair in their judgments.Another irresponsible form of evaluation occurred when James rated his teacher excellent because the teacher is “easy”. He gives few tests and only assigns (分配) one

46、paper during the entire term. His lectures are often filled with jokes and endless stories about his family. On the other hand, James rated Professor Jones poor because he assigns homework daily, gives pretest previews and post-test reviews, and packs his lectures with information.Santa, Sam, and Ja

47、mes have not thought about their teachers teaching abilities. They have written unfair evaluations and have not given thought to their evaluations.
