C                                           
Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, 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（天才）out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his / her intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he / she reaches those limits will depend on his / her environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something 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 at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two 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 as well as birth plays a part.This conclusion is also suggested by the fact 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.
64. The writer holds the view that human beings’ intelligence depends on       .
A) birth                  
B) education
C) both birth and environment                
D) neither birth nor education
65. It can be learned from the passage that if a child is born with low intelligence, he can        .
A) not become a genius.
B) still become a genius if he is given special education.
C) exceed(超過) his intelligence limits in rich surroundings.
D) not fulfill his intelligence in his life.
66. In the second paragraph, “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population” means “if we         ”.
A) pick any two persons.
B) choose two persons who are relatives.
C) take out two different persons on purpose.
D) choose two persons with different intelligence.
67. The example of the twins in the third paragraph is used to show        .
the importance of their intelligence.
the role of environment on intelligence.
the importance of their social positions.
the part that birth plays.

The break-up of a relationship can mean sleepless nights, problems concentrating, loss of appetite, even depression. Every person reacts ­­   99    the crisis differently. “One can’t expect to function normally in the first period of
100    separation,” says German psychotherapist Doris Wolf, author of a book on how to deal with a break-up. “Even if you are someone    101    has kept your feelings under control you can experience emotions as never before,” says Wolf,    102    (point) out that men and women ­­   103    (general) react differently. Men tend to suppress­­（忍��；控制）   104    pain by working, or with a new relationship, or alcohol. Women, on the other hand, sometimes suffer from depression, fear of the future, or guilty feelings. In contrast to men, women,  ­­ 105   , often have a good friend who ­­   106    (listen), give comfort or advice. That, says Wolf, is important, because anger, ­­   107    (s­­ad) and frustration need to be expressed. One will feel much ­­   108   (relieve) after doing so.

The naive fellow has never met a thief and firmly believes that he lives in a world without thieves. And, the female thief fights against other thieves only to protect this guy's "daydream". Sound strange? Then go to the cinema to see what happens in "A World Without Thieves" (Tianxia Wuzei). It's the latest offering from Chinese director Feng Xiaogang. The film will hit mainland cinemas on December 9, 2004.
Adapted from the book of the same name, it tells the story of a couple, both of them skillful thieves, who find their consciences on a thief-filled train.
Wang Bo (Andy Lau, or Liu Dehua) is a master pickpocket from Hong Kong. Wang Li (Rene Liu, or Liu Ruoying) is a "talented" cheat from Taiwan. They're partners in crime and passion, and cheat their way across China, until one day they run into Shagen (Wang Baoqiang) at a railway station.
An orphan since birth, Shagen spends more time with wolves than with men. He believes in the basic goodness of human nature and is convinced that he lives in a world without thieves. Having saved up 60,000 yuan after five years of hard work, he decides to go back to his hometown, build a house and get married.
However, the train Shagen boards is full of thieves. Besides Wang Bo and Wang Li, there is a gang of highwaymen under the control of Uncle Bill (Ge You). While Bill's men are trying to get Shagen's savings, Wang Li takes it on herself to be his protector.
Feng Xiaogang has become a supplier of New Year's movies in China. For four consecutive years, he has caused a nationwide media excitement at the end of each year. That started with 1998's "The Dream Factory" (Jiafang Yifang) and ran to last year's "Cell phone" (Shouji).
With "A World without Thieves", Feng tries his hand at something beyond his standard humor. For the first time, he employs a lot of special effects.
"I do like comedy, but I also want to know where my limits lie," said Feng, "The film is an experiment. It has special skills, love between thieves, as well as the rediscovery of conscience."
Feng says the film is more like a fairy tale: It's two thieves trying to protect someone's "daydream". "You see, a fairy tale may expose more about life and human nature than another story. You don't change the world with a film, but you make people see and feel innocence, and that's my power. "
46. The underlined word “naive” means _________.
A. lovely              B. interesting                     C. innocent           D. smart
47. Which of the following films is not directed by Feng Xiaogang?
A. Red River Valley                              B. A World Without Thieves
C. The Dream Factory                               D. Cellphone
48. It can be inferred from the text that _________.
Feng Xiaogang has directed more than three films since 1998.
This film was first on show on December 9, 2004.
Wang Bo and Wang Li are in the charge of Uncle Bill.
Feng Xiaogang likes fairy tales.
49. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
Introduction of Feng Xiaogang
Introduction of Liu Dehua
Brief introduction of Feng’s film — A World Without Thieves
Feng’s opinion about his film — A World Without Thieves
50. What’s Feng’s opinion about this film?
All the World is peaceful and perfect objects.
The power of the film is to make people see and feel innocence.
It’s only a fairy tale.
Let people rediscover their consciences by this film.

 I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (烏龜). At the end I said. “Son, remember: Slow and steady (穩(wěn)固的) wins the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m participating in the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”
I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep on the way!”
“He must have wished that,” Sonny said. “Otherwise how could he be so stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted, “He won the race by perseverance , by pushing on steadily.”
Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”
I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.
61.Sonny believed that the tortoise ________.
won the race by his own effort
B. took a risk by agreeing to race
C. was not given a fair chance in the race
D. in fact did not win the race
62.Billy, Tony and Sandy must be ________.
A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father
B. boys Sonny had run races with before
C. boys Sonny had never raced with before

　　At about 9:20 p.m. on October 14th, I was driving along Market Road in the direction of Midwick. I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger's (near) side of the car. I stopped the car and got out. A motorcycle had hit my car. The motorcyclist had been thrown over the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.

It’s the Year of the Rat!
Millions of people crowded onto trains and buses across China on Wednesday. They were hurrying home to be with their families for the country’s most important holiday, the Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival. Thursday marked the end of the Year of the Pig, and the beginning of the Year of the Rat. But for a while, it looked as if severe winter weather in some regions of China would put a deep freeze on the celebrations.

People often wear red, which symbolizes fire. Legend has it that fire can drive away bad luck.
