This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But dont make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.Other people may fool you into overestimating(過高估計) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to (一定會) make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it es to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.In a word, you cant judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a persons intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Dont judge a book by its cover.36. The passage suggests that _. A. a good writer may not be a good speaker B. a good writer is always a good speaker C. a speechless person always writes well D. a good writer will find himself speechless 37.

The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to_. A. judge a book by its cover B. make the mistake of thinking a young man stupid C. overestimate a students intelligence D. judge a persons intelligence by his appearanceBOne night in February 1962, John H. Glenn, Jr. flew over Australia. The man in the Mercury (水星) capsule was alone, but friendly voices reached him by radio. Over the dark land 100 miles below, he saw sparkling lights. It marked the city of Perth, where people had turned on their lights as a greeting to him.In Friendship 7, Glenn radioed, “The lights show up very well. Thank everybody for turning them on.” His capsule moved on to the east.During his three orbits of the earth, Glenn could always reach one of the 18 tracking stations. Some of them were on ships at sea. Others were in the United States.Many of the stations had been built with the help of other countries. These countries allowed Americans to bring in radio equipment and set it up. Without the help of such lands as Nigeria, Zanzibar and Mexico, there would have been breaks in the worldwide radio network. John Glenn, Jr. was the first American to orbit the earth. For his flight, the tracking network (跟蹤網(wǎng)絡) covered 60,000 statute miles (法定英里). 500 men worked in the stations along the route. Since his flight, the network has grown. Today, it covers more than 100,000 statute miles and has about 100 stations. One-third of these stations are outside the United States.40. This passage is mainly about _. A. talking to ships at sea around the world B. breaks in the worldwide network C. the first American to orbit the earth D. a satellite which fell into the ocean 41. From the passage we can see that _. A. Friendship 7 stopped in Perth, Australia B. all tracking stations are inside the United States C. radio equipment is important in space flight D. many people could see Glenn in his capsule when he made the flight 42. During his flight Glenn could always _. A. see lights on the ground clearly B. reach ships at sea C. reach one of the tracking stations D. arrive at Mercury in his Friendship 7 43. Why did people in Perth turn on the lights? A. They wanted to guide Glenn to land. B. It was too dark for them to see in the room. C. They wanted to see Friendship 7. D. They wanted to greet Glenn.CThe Beatles had a song that once was a hit on US college campuses, back in the 60s, that went like this: “They say the best things in life are free, but you can keep them for the birds and bees. Now give me money. Thats what I want.”That may have been almost 40 years ago, but those words are still true for some students today, according to a survey of students attitudes.The American Freshman Survey of more than 267,000 students at 413 colleges and universities nationwide showed more than 50 percent of them said they went to college for “financial well-being in the future”. Fewer than 40 percent saw higher education as a way of developing a meaningful philosophy of life.University of California education professor Linda Sax, the director of the survey, said this reflects a longstanding tension between material rewards and the value of education, something that has been strengthened in recent years. “Students also increasingly concentrate on prestige(聲望) and college rankings, making them more concerned about where they go to school than why theyre going,” Sax said.Dustin Grant, a freshman of University of Southern California, said the survey results matched his views on what students think about as they leave high school.Grant, who is a business major, thinks the high costs of college fuel this materialism. “This is a major investment like US$40,000 a year. When youre putting so much in, youre going to expect to get something out of it,” he said.But, the 20-year-old added: “Required courses in humanities and the intellectual life on campus can encourage students to think critically about their values and beliefs. College surely opens up new perspectives（景象）. Seniors probably express a greater concern for finding meaning in life.”44. The survey tells us _. A. the differences between the students today and those of 40 years ago B. some students today take the same attitude to money as those of 40 years ago C. money is more important than a free life for all the students D. the different meaning between money and life 45. The third paragraph suggests _. A. over 267,000 students are at 413 colleges and universities B. more students surveyed live a well-off life C. some students will improve their value of life D. the meaning of money plays an important partin students life 46. From what Linda Sax said, we may find _. A. material rewards replace the value of education B. a college with high ranking attracts more students C. students show more interest in making money D. professors are anxious about the value of education 47. The word “hit” in the first paragraph means “_”. A. successful performance B. popular songC. heated argument D. discussing topicDIf you go to Brisbane, Australia, you can easily get a small book called Discover Brisbane free.
