2、ng letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage：When we talk about intelligence， we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean

3、a way of living and behaving， especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence， we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.（76） For instance， when in a new situation， an intelligent person thinks about the situation， not about himself or

4、what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can， and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all work out， but at least he tries. And， if he cant make things work out right， he doesnt feel ashamed that he failed； he just tries to learn

5、 from his mistakes. An intelligent person， even if he is very young， has a special outlook on life， a special feeling about life， and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children， youll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not-bright” children. They are actually two

6、different kinds of people， not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example， the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him. （77） But， the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world； he seems to

7、 have a wall between him and life in general.1.

11、k about an overcoat， when a manager gets a new sports car， a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. Whenthere is money enough to satisfy one level of needs， another level appears.The first and most basic level of needs in

12、volves food. Once this level is satisfied， the second level of needs， clothing and some sort of shelter， appears. By the end of World War II， these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 195

13、8 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then， in the late 1950s， a fourth level of needs appeared： the “life-enriching” level. （79） While the other levels involve physical satisfaction， that is， the feeding， comfort， safety， and transportation， this level stresses mental needs for rec

14、ognition， achievement， and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services， many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips， the best medical and dental care， and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level，

15、a lot of money is spent on services， while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases， or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level？A fifth level would probably involve

16、needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease， ignorance， crime， and prejudice. After filling our stomachs， our clothes closets， our garages， our teeth， and our minds， we now may seek to ensure the health， sa

17、fety， and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.6.

21、ords and gestures to express our feelings， but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show

22、 the same feelings. Dogs， tigers and humans， for example， often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. （80） In Chinese and in English literature， a phrase

23、 like “he went pale and begin to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However， “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like they stretch

24、ed out their tongues！ Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture， people differ in ability to understand and express feelings.
