二、阅读理解（共 3 道试题，共 60 分。）
1.      The large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages, the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French, and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings, Lewes, and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use. Their places have been taken by later borrowings, often like wise from French, many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy, of peace, enemy, battle, soldier, guard and spy, and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea. In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.

1). The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A. most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or later
B. a study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of England
C. many French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from the language
D. many military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French, some as early as the Middle Ages
-----------------选择：      
2). All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many French military terms except that _______.
A. war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle Ages
B. the English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and France
C. France invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in England
D. much of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France
-----------------选择：     
3). The art of war has undergone such changes that _______.
A. we no longer use any French words of the Middle Ages
B. many words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian words
C. French military terms have disappeared from the English language
D. many words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words
-----------------选择：      
4). Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ages?
A. sergeant
B. battle
C. spy
D. fight
-----------------选择：      
5). The writer takes the words “battle” and “fight” as an example to show______.
A. French words are needed to express something new
B. a French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by side
C. French word or the other has been lost from the English language
D. “battle” is the borrowed word and “fight” is the native one
-----------------选择：      
2.      Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.
    The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.
    Observers noted down the referees' errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.
    The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.
    There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.
    If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.
    He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.

1). The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.
A. set a standard for football refereeing
B. reexamine the rules for football refereeing
C. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup
D. analyze the causes of errors made by football referees
-----------------选择：      
2). The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _______.
A. quite unexpected
B. as high as in a standard match
C. slightly above average
D. higher than in the 1998 World Cup
-----------------选择：      
3). The findings of the experiment show that _______.
A. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur
B. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot
C. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball
D. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors
-----------------选择：      
4). The word "officials" (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _______.
A. the referees of the football tournament
B. the observers at the site of the experiment
C. the researchers involved in the experiment
D. the inspectors of the football tournament
-----------------选择：      
5). What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?
A. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.
B. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.
C. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.
D. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.
-----------------选择：      
3.      There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared if an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
    The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was created by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
1). This selection can best be titled___
A. Measuring Your Intelligence
B. Intelligence and Environment
C. The Case of Peter and Mark
D. How the brain Influences Intelligence
-----------------选择：      
2). The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that __
A. human brains differ considerably
B. the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence
C. environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligence
D. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence
-----------------选择：      
3). According to the passage, the average I.Q. is __
A. 85
B. 100
C. 110
D. 125
-----------------选择：     
4). The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that ____
A. individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
B. an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environment
C. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
D. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain
-----------------选择：      
5). This passage suggests that an individual's IQ____
A. can be predicted at birth
B. stays the same throughout his life
C. can be increased by education
D. is determined by his childhood
-----------------选择：
