Passage FourIf you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ells- worth Huntington (1876-1947) concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and: temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat is. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that mental, abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!46. According to the passage, your mental ability ______.A. depends on your attitude towards people in different time of the yearB. changes for the worst when you dislike most people in hot seasonC. will be best in winter and worst in summer if you want to be creativeD. turns to be more powerful in spring than in any of the other seasons
Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The climate is associated with man's intelligence.B. People's creative thinking is changing from season to season.C. That temperature affects one's creative thinking has been scientifically proved.D. Autumn is the second best season for thinking.
The concept discussed in the passage is actually the ______.A. traditional beliefs among people living in different areasB. results of certain study on people living in different climate zonesC. belief that has no longer accepted by most of peopleD. study done by Ellsworth Huntington alone
It is not stated but implied in the passage that ______.A. Ellsworth Huntington is a fortune-teller rather than a scientistB. cool weather is more effective on man's creative thinkingC. certain elements in nature are more active in one season than in other seasonsD. summer is a good season for vacation
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A well-known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1937), concluded from other men's work and his own among people in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!1). Huntington based his conclusions on ___________.A. work with people in different climatesB. records of temperature changesC. records of change in his own intelligenceD. all of the above2). Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _________.A. a great effect on everyone's intelligenceB. no effect on people's intelligenceC. effect on only a few people's intelligenceD. some effect on most people's intelligence3). One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ___________.A. there are some things making all nature different from beforeB. it is neither too warm nor too coldC. it is more natural for the development of mental abilitiesD. it lasts longer than the other seasons4). The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _____________.A. winter and summerB. fall and winterC. spring and fallD. summer and spring5). According to the passage above, vacations from thinking should be taken ___________.A. as seldom as possibleB. during spring and fallC. several times throughout the yearD. during the summer

The dog has always been considered man′s best friend.Always noted for being particularly?faithful in watching over children,he also has his place by the fireside,in the cow pasture,on the?sheep range(放牧区),and beside the hunter in forest.He is easy to train,works hard,and often?performs astonishing feats.And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive power,before being lately displaced by the plane and helicopter.Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death,the dog was once thought to?have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men.Actually,the.basis for these beliefs lies in the hound′s sensibility to people′s feelings and his superior?hearing ability and sense of smell,which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation.His record of saving lives is outstanding,for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.The dog′s major contribution,however,has been to medical research.Both his diet and his?structure are comparable to those of the human being,and so he has been the subject Of countless?demonstrations and experiments.Open-heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the?dog.But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病),distemper,and other diseases.The article does not say whether the scientists′experiments with dogs have__________.A.benefited animals other than dogsB.served manC.helped other dogsD.contributed to medical knowledge

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960’s and 70’s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly. A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic (北极的) snow were declining. In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate (区分) the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States. In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the Northeastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline. Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period. The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990. The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected. Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem (生态系统) respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists （）A、are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollutionB、feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasolineC、still consider lead pollution a problemD、lack sufficient means to combat lead pollution
