（A）

I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.

One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. “Do you know what you have done?” they said, “It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym, he has got his football honor.”

I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.” He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, “My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.

As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: “I’m only a 1050.” The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Seholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1 100 or 1550, has becomes the focus at this time of their life.

It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.

According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators——like a student’s high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency（学业水平）, they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities（潜力）. This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.

64. The purpose of the SAT is to test students’ _______.

A. strong will B. academic ability

C. full potentialities D. confidence in school work

65. Students’ self-respect is influenced by their _______.

A. scores in the SAT B. achievements in mathematic

C. job opportunities D. money spent on education

66. “A prestigious university” is most probably _______.

A. a famous university B. a technical university

C. a traditional university D. an expensive university

67. This passage is mainly about_______.

A. how to prepare for the SAT B. stress caused by the SAT

C. American higher education D. the SAT and its effects

(D)

Brian Walker chews pens. He bites them so hard that his boss has warned him to stop or buy his own. Kate’s weakness is more acceptable-she is unable to walk past a cake shop without overeating Sophin Cartier finds her cigarette habit a headache, while Alice’s thumb-sucking drives her boy friend crazy. Four people with very different habits, but they all share a common problem anxiety disorder or, in serious cases. Obessive Compulisive Disorder (OCD).

From nail-biting to too much hand-washing, overeating and internet addiction（上瘾）, OCD is widespread in almost every workplace and countless home. “It is a relatively common form of anxiety,” says Dr. Mootee. “The main feature of OCD is the repetition of unwanted obsessive（过度的） thoughts such as worries that doors are left unlocked, gas or electrical appliances are left on.” In order to fight against the an easy checking door locks and gas or electrical appliances.

Dr. Mootee says that repetitive washing, particularly of the hands, is the most common type of OCD. She has treated many patients who wash their hands up to 30 times a day. The technique Mootee uses to treat people with OCD is called cognitive-behavioral therapy（认知行为疗法）. “It is based on the general idea that people have the ability to change the way they think and behave,” says Mootee.

But when does a habit become a problem? “It’s personal,” says Mootee. “Everyone has something unusual, but if you can’t put up with it, then it’s a problem and you need to do something to change it.” Mootee says many people resisted for treatment because they fear they are “crazy”. But as people become more knowledgeable about these problems they will go and get help. The only way to cure is to conquer.

68. If a person suffers from OCD, be is likely to keep doing any of the following EXCEPT.

A. chewing pens B. hurting himself

C. sucking fingers D. biting nails

70. Dr. Mootee’s treating technique is based on the idea that_______.

A. everyone has something different

B. people can put up with their problems

C. people can change their way of thinking and action

D. people tend to repeat their obsessive actions

71. By saying “The only way to cure is to conquer.” Dr. Mootee suggests that an OCD sufferer.

A. has to be an extraordinary person

B. must cure his illness by himself

C. must overcome many physical illnesses

D. should have a right attitude towards the problem

The literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines（学科）, philosophy cannot e defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: art, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate（博士学位）of Philosophy (Ph. D. ) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology.

Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and period in the development of philosophy.

Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy question the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.

There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problem, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important form a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career first, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict.

72. According to Paragraph 1 philosophy can best be described as the study of_______.

A. social sciences B. natural sciences

C. both social and natural sciences D. the subject matter of politics

73. With the study of philosophy, you can _______.

A. become a great leader

B. succeed in everything

C. find a good job soon after graduation

D. make progress in your career development

74. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Philosophy is an independent discipline.

B. Logic helps you to become a better thinker.

C. The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.

D. The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.

75. From the passage, we can conclude

A. not all the subjects have to do with philosophy

B. a person will get a Ph.

D. if he / she studies philosophy

C. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjects

D. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the world
