Why is it not surprising that gifted students often have little good to say about their school experience? A．Because they dislike the scholastic knowledge． B．Because they don't believe in each other． C．Because they don't feel suited for their schools． D．Because most of them did badly in schools．
83、 The author quotes the remarks of one of Oliver Goldsmiths' teachers __________ A．to provide support for his argument B．to illustrate the strong will of some gifted children C．to explain how dull students can also be successful D．to show how poor Oliver's performance was at school
84、 Pablo Picasso is listed among the many gifted children who __________ A．paid no attention to their teachers in class B．contradicted their teachers much too often C．could not cope with their studies at school successfully D．behaved arrogantly and stubbornly in the presence of their teachers
85、 The root cause of many gifted students having bad memories of tbeir school years is that __________ A．their nonconformity brought them a lot of trouble B．they were seldom praised by their teachers C．school courses failed to inspire or motivate them D．teachers were usually far stricter than their parents
86、 Many gifted people attributed their success __________ A．less to parental help and their education at home B．less to school instruction and training C．more to their parents' encouragement than to school training D．less to their systematic education than to their talent
87、根據(jù)以下資料,回答87-106題: While still catching-up to men in some spheres of modem life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category．"Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men," according to Dr．Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New York's Veteran's Administration Hospital． Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affects the stress response,causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions．In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries (the female reproductive organs) removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males． Adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased "opportunities" for stress．"It's not necessarily that women don't cope as well．It's just that they have so much more to cope with," says Dr．Yehuda．"Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men's," she observes, "It's just that they're dealing and sooner． with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly " Dr．Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes．"I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature．Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress． Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence．The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals．The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating．" Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college．"I struggled a lot to get the college degree．I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape, to go to school, and get ahead and do better．" Later her marriage ended and she became a single mother．"It's the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt．I lived from paycheck to paycheck．" Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes．But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain．Alvarez's experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function．
Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs? A．Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress． B．Women are still suffering much stress caused by men． C．Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress． D．Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress．
88、 Dr．Yehuda's research suggested that women A．need extra doses of chemicals to handle stress B．have limited capacity for tolerating stress C．a(chǎn)re more capable of avoiding stress D．a(chǎn)re exposed to more stress

91、 Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．Strain of Stress: No Way Out?

The ancient cities were characterized by all the following EXCEPT __________ A．larger populations B．different locations C．different roles D．different social classes
93、 The need to keep records and the increased sophistication of urban society contribute to the development of the following EXCEPT __________ A．writing B．a(chǎn)rithmetic C．a(chǎn)rt expression D．a(chǎn)griculture
94、 Which of the following statements is CORRECT? A．West European cities established their own urban tradition． B．West European cities grew directly out of those in the Middle East． C．Cities appeared earlier in the Middle East than in Greece and Rome． D．West European and Middle East cities went through the same phases．
95、 Which of the following could be regarded as a geographical focal point7 A．A town hall． B．A vegetable garden． C．A local cafeteria． D．A farm．
96、根據(jù)以下資料,回答96-115題: Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth's surface．But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles．Their number decreases as the depth increases．At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years．Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100,in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much．In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small． The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors．If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table．But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall．An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not Strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city．Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage．If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake． Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites．A third and very serious factor is panic．When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result． The Unted Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes．It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes．Working with local geologists and engineers,the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area．If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past． There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about．This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis．(These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect．They have nothing to do with tides．) In cectain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea．These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves．The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length．But when they roll into harbors they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high．The Japanese call them "tsunamis", meaning "harbor waves", because they reach a sizable height only in harbors． Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour．An adequate warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves．But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground．There is no way to stop the oncoming wave． | Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage7 A．The number of earthquakes is closely related to depth． B．Roughly the same number of earthquakes occurs each year． C．Earthquakes are impossible at depths about 460 miles． D．Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the surfaces．

Why is it not surprising that gifted students often have little good to say about their school experience? A．Because they dislike the scholastic knowledge． B．Because they don't believe in each other． C．Because they don't feel suited for their schools． D．Because most of them did badly in schools．
83、 The author quotes the remarks of one of Oliver Goldsmiths' teachers __________ A．to provide support for his argument B．to illustrate the strong will of some gifted children C．to explain how dull students can also be successful D．to show how poor Oliver's performance was at school
84、 Pablo Picasso is listed among the many gifted children who __________ A．paid no attention to their teachers in class B．contradicted their teachers much too often C．could not cope with their studies at school successfully D．behaved arrogantly and stubbornly in the presence of their teachers
85、 The root cause of many gifted students having bad memories of tbeir school years is that __________ A．their nonconformity brought them a lot of trouble B．they were seldom praised by their teachers C．school courses failed to inspire or motivate them D．teachers were usually far stricter than their parents
86、 Many gifted people attributed their success __________ A．less to parental help and their education at home B．less to school instruction and training C．more to their parents' encouragement than to school training D．less to their systematic education than to their talent
87、根據(jù)以下資料,回答87-106題: While still catching-up to men in some spheres of modem life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category．"Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men," according to Dr．Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New York's Veteran's Administration Hospital． Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affects the stress response,causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions．In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries (the female reproductive organs) removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males． Adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased "opportunities" for stress．"It's not necessarily that women don't cope as well．It's just that they have so much more to cope with," says Dr．Yehuda．"Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men's," she observes, "It's just that they're dealing and sooner． with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly " Dr．Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes．"I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature．Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress． Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence．The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals．The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating．" Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college．"I struggled a lot to get the college degree．I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape, to go to school, and get ahead and do better．" Later her marriage ended and she became a single mother．"It's the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt．I lived from paycheck to paycheck．" Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes．But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain．Alvarez's experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function．
Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs? A．Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress． B．Women are still suffering much stress caused by men． C．Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress． D．Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress．

The ancient cities were characterized by all the following EXCEPT __________ A．larger populations B．different locations C．different roles D．different social classes
93、 The need to keep records and the increased sophistication of urban society contribute to the development of the following EXCEPT __________ A．writing B．a(chǎn)rithmetic C．a(chǎn)rt expression D．a(chǎn)griculture

96、根據(jù)以下資料,回答96-115題: Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth's surface．But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles．Their number decreases as the depth increases．At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years．Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100,in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much．In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small． The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors．If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table．But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall．An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not Strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city．Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage．If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake． Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites．A third and very serious factor is panic．When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result． The Unted Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes．It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes．Working with local geologists and engineers,the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area．If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past． There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about．This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis．(These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect．They have nothing to do with tides．) In cectain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea．These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves．The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length．But when they roll into harbors they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high．The Japanese call them "tsunamis", meaning "harbor waves", because they reach a sizable height only in harbors． Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour．An adequate warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves．But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground．There is no way to stop the oncoming wave． | Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage7 A．The number of earthquakes is closely related to depth． B．Roughly the same number of earthquakes occurs each year． C．Earthquakes are impossible at depths about 460 miles． D．Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the surfaces．
