Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AMany people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can lea rn everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.Above all, they knew how to use their brains.56.

Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.In the study, scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven(不均匀的) number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.The study's participants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities.Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the dolts(傻瓜).The total scores of men and women were similar.One of the study's authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted(限制) to spend more time taking care of their home."The female developmental program may turn to ensure (保证) survival and the safety of the middle ground." the Daily Mail quoted(引述) Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women got the seconds.It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier(稳定的) in their learning.A past study has shown that women are getting more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors(青睐) women's steady approach.66. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that _____.A. man are smarter then womenB. man are more stupid the womenC. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been foundD. men are more likely to receive first class university degrees67.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Friendship is a relationship between people who are friends, who share the laughs and tears in your life which come with the endless ups and downs of living. Everyone should have some friends because they can help you a lot.Research shows that friends greatly increase your well-being while at the same time reducing stress and improving self-esteem. Psychotherapist and writer Stephanie Dowrick puts it this way: “A life without friends is poor.”Clinical psychologist Renee Mill points out that we exhibit a natural social instinct to make friends from a very early age. Scientific experiments have shown that parts of the brain light up when children play, hug and interact with each other, indicating improved brain activity.A recent Public Library of Science review looked at 148 studies involving more than 300,000 participants and found that social relationships also greatly influence our mortality rate. According to the study’s leading researcher, Professor Timothy Smith, social relationships have as much of an influence on mortality as risk factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption, and even more of an influence than physical inactivity and obesity.At school and university we have many opportunities to meet and interact with new people. Some of them may become our lifelong friends. In later life, having children at school or kindergarten may enable you to connect with the parents of your children’s classmates. Through shared activities with young children and their parents, strong bonds are often created.However, there are periods when life takes a different turn. You may move to a new suburb, city or even country, or start a new job. You are required to rebuild your inner circle. Big changes may end your established friendships, and you may be forced to rebuild your network.Title: 71__________Ⅰ.
