Decide whethereach of the statements is True (T) or False (F). The second and the third passages are both followed by fivequestions or unfinished statements. There are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the bestchoice and write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage 1What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliantAlbert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result ofwhere and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear. We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a legor an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many childpsychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone agreat deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, ifparents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doingsilly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as“That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”1. The word “intelligent” in the 1st paragraph probably means bright.A. T B. F2. According to the context we can guess that a genius is a normal person while an idiot is a funny person.A. T B. F3. A person born with a good brain and putting it into active use is more likely to become a genius.A. T B. F4. It is better for parents to praise and encourage their children more often.A. T B. F5. Intelligence is obviously the result of where you live.A. T B. FPassage 2What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those ofothers? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a《大学英语 4》课程考试 模拟试卷（A） 第 2 页 共 9 页 scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important toeveryone. The scientists, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to hisquestions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to manyquestions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right. He must be as nearly right as theconditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions atother times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must beexplained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. AlbertEinstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of hismathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist usesmany tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may testhis investigations.6. What makes a scientist according to the passage? A. The tools he uses. B. The way he uses his tools.C. His ways of learning. D. he various tools he uses.7. “The scientist, however, goes one step further ...”. The author says this to show _________.

What is the main idea of the passage? A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.Passage 3By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements,and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others. They aremen and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of thosewho admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by,where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because theCold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overallcrime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be madein medical science. Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to gobeyond celebrity (明 星), who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes somefigures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story totell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and thethrone, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinablecharm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death-such as Martin LutherKing, Jr. John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.11.
