[单选题]The strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each other' s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication.

What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as brake on twins' intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in an underprivileged family, a one-parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway.

Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinaryspeech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.

What's the reason for twins to be at a disadvantage in their intellectual development?

AThey can only understand their own private language.

BThey communicate with outsiders less than non-twins.

CThere is little stimulation for them.

DAdults don't like to talk with them.

It was Ann´ s first experience of flying.. She had always been afraid of heights and so was prepared to be frightened. Only the fact that she was going to meet her son who she had not seen for three years had given her the courage to make the flight.

She sat in her seat, her hands gripping its arms, her seat belt already fastened. The air hostess was talking, telling everyone what to do in case of emergency, showing them where their life-jackets were. The plane was crowded, and every seat was full. From her window seat, getting out in a hurry would be impossible, thought Ann. In any case who would want to get out of a plane in mid-air?

The engines began to shake--the noise increased till it was like a great rushing wind. She looked out to see the runway slip past at astonishing speed. She wanted to cry out--to stop the plane before it left the ground, but she knew she was trapped in this great roaring machine. I must scream, she told herself, and put her hands over her eyes.

There was a strange feeling as if she were going up in a lift. The noise died down. Carefully she opened her eyes. Through the window she saw a great carpet of cloud above, so beautiful that she stared in wonder, hardly turning away from the window till they touched down.

Why did Ann want to scream?

ABecause the plane did n' t leave the ground.

BBecause she could n' t make the plane stop.

CBecause she could n' t hear the wind.

DBecause she could n' t see the runway.

根据以上内容，回答下列各题。

Anyone who has ever attended a university knows that the quality of lecturers varies greatly. A few are very effective communicators, conveying the substance of their lectures clearly and interestingly and inspiring students to want to know more about the subject. Others produce dull lectures from which the students learn little and which are likely to kill any interest they may have in the subject. Lecturing is a major part of a university lecturer’s job and it would seem reasonable that effectiveness in this task should be a major standard in assessing a lecturer for promotion. However, it is very often the case that far more weight is given to such factors as participation in research, number of publications and even performance of administrative duties. My point of view is that a lecturer’s lecturing should be regularly evaluated and that the best people to carry out this evaluation are those directly on the receiving end.

It could, of course, be argued that students are not competent to evaluate the academic quality of lectures, If anyone should evaluate lecturers, it should be their colleagues. However, I am not arguing that students should be asked to comment on the academic content of lectures, but to evaluate the effectiveness.

I suspect that many of the objections to student evaluation stem from the fear some lecturers have of being subject to criticism by their students. However, lecturers should see such evaluation as an opportunity to become aware of defects in their lecturing techniques and thus to become better lecturers. Such a system should benefit both students and lecturers as well as help department heads to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their teaching staff.

According to the author, all the students know that ____________

Ait is too Dull to attend lectures

Bquite a lot of teacher scan produce the results students Desire

Cthey must be inspired to learn

Dthere are great Differences among the lecturers as to their quality of teaching

参考答案：D

[单选题]If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think.This is the research result of professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.

Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.

He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.

Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.

Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.

Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using the head.

The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns.Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors.White--collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.

Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking.Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need."The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says."Think hard and engage in conversation.Don't rely on pocket calculators."

Faulkner's research findings are based on __.

Aa survey of farmers in northern Japan

Btests performed on a thousand old people

Cthe study of brain volumes of different people

Dthe latest development of computer technology

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it´ s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don´ t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You´ re a lucky dog. " That´ s being friendly. But "lucky dog" ? There´ s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn´ t see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn´ t think you deserve your luck.

"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is be? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn´t important. It´s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven´t got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someone´s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

The author most probably is a__________.

Ateacher

Bpsychologist

Cphilosopher

Ddoctor

There has been,in history, a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. The man´s name is James Bartley. The records to prove his unusual experience are in the British Admiralty.

Bartley was making his first trip on the whaling ship Star of the East. Suddenly the lookout sighted a huge sperm whale.The whalers knew it was a huge whale by the size of the spray it blew into the air. They lowered their small boats. James Bartley was in the first longboat.The men rowed until they were close to the whale. A harpoon was thrown and it found its mark. It sank into the whale´s flesh. The maddened beast crashed into the boat, snapping its tail at the men and the wreck-age of their boats. When the survivors were picked up ,James Bartley was missing.

Shortly before sunset,the whale was finally captured. The sailors tied the whale´s dead body to the side of the ship. Because of the hot weather it was important that they cut up the whale right away. Otherwise, the meat would begin to rot and the oil would begin to spoil. When they got to the stomach,theyfelt something moving about wildly. They thought it would be a big fish still alive in-side. But when they opened the stomach they found James Bartley. After this trip, Bartley settled in England, and never returned to sea.

The sailors knew that something was in the whale´s stomach because __

Athey could feel it moving about wildly

Bthe whale seemed very heavy

Cthe whale was swelling at one spot

Dthe captain heard Bartley yelling for help
