共用题干第二篇Excessive Demands on Young PeopleBeing able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill,but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.It argues that in fact,these young people are frittering（浪费）away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working,young adults are also surfing on the Internet,or sending out emails to their friends,and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new device comes along,it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices.Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in（沉湎于）their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.All this electronic wizardry（魔力）is supposedly also seriously affecting young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets（小装置） on their performance of tasks,the great majority of young people gave a favourable response.The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive.The former feel that mul- titasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills,resulting in a decline in the quality of writing,for example,because of the lack of concentration on task completion.They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial（补救的）help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again,as they have become deskilled.While all this may be true,it mnust be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays in fact,too much.Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way today's youth are able to cope despite what the older generation throw at them.The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to__________.A:adjust their social attitudesB:seek psychological assistanceC:improve their study skillsD:take more business courses
共用题干第二篇Approaches to Understanding IntelligencesIt pays to be smart , but we are not all smart in the same way.You may be a talented musician , but you light not be a good reader.Each of us is different.Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abilities.Psychologists have two different views on intelligence.Some believe there is one general intelligence.Others believe there are many different intelligences.Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured with IQ tests.These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests.They do well on tests using words , numbers , or pictures.They do well on individual or group tests , and written or oral tests.Those who do poorly on one test , do the same on all tests.Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence.The brains of intelligent people use less energy during problem solving.The brain waves of people with higher intelligence show a quicker reaction.Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from differences in the speed and effectiveness of information processing by the brain.Howard Gardner , a psychologist at the Harvard School of Education , has four children.He believes that all children are different and shouldn't be tested by one intelligence test.Although Gardner believes general intelligence exists , he doesn't think it tells much about the talents of a person outside of formal schooling.He thinks that the human mind has different intelligences.These intelligences allow us to solve the kinds of problems we are presented with in life.Each of us has different abilities within these intelligences.Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.Gardner says that his theory is based on biology.For example , when one part of the brain is injured , other parts of the brain still work.People who cannot talk because of brain damage can still sing.So , there is not just one intelligence to lose.Gardner has identified 8 different kinds of intelligence: linguistic,mathematical,spatial,musical,interpersonal,intrapersonal,body-kinesthetic (身体动觉的), and naturalistic.Which of the following statements is true concerning general intelligence?A:Most intelligent people do well on some intelligence tests.B:Intelligent people do not do well on group tests.C:Intelligent people do better on written tests than on oral tests.D:People doing well on one type of intelligence test do well on other tests.

共用题干第三篇Trying to Find a PartnerOne of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people interviewed,one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships? Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love?Or are we making it harder for ourselves?It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships.Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesn't expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago, your choice of soulmate（心上人）was constrained（限制）by geography, social convention and family tradition.Although it was never explicit,many marriages were essentially arranged.Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening.When the world is your oyster（牡蛎）, you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint: the tyranny of choice.The expectations of partners are inflated（提高）to an unmanageable degree: good looks,impressive salary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There is no room for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isn't,it is disposable.We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don't put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship.Of course,this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.Which of the following was NOT a constraint on one's choice of soulmate in the old days?A:The health condition of his or her grandmother.B:The geographical environment.C:The social convention.D:The family tradition.
共用题干第一篇Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?Millions of people are using cell phones today,In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one.In many countries,cell phones are very popular with Young people.They find that the phones aremore than a means of communication一having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried.Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones.In England,there has been a serious debate about this issue.Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas.They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.On the other hand,why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones?Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning （扫描）equipment. In one case , a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss.He couldn't remember even simple tasks.He would often forget the name of his own son.This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day,every day of his working week,for a couple of years.His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use,but his employer's doctor didn't agree.What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?The answer is radiation.High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones.Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation,but they say the amount is too small to worry about.As the discussion about their safety continues,it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time.Use your mnobile phone only when you really need it.Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient,especially in emergencies.In the future,mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health.So for now,it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.The salesman retired young because____________.A:he disliked using mobile phonesB:he couldn't remember simple tasksC:he was tired of talking on his mobile phone D:his employer's doctor persuaded him to
共用题干Pedestrians Only1 .The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time.During the Middle Ages,traffic-free shopping areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in comfort and,more importantly,safety.As far back as 2,000 years ago,road traffic was banned from central Rome during the day to allow for the free movement of pedestrians （行人）,and was only allowed in at night when shops and markets had closed for the day.In most other cities,however,pedestrians were forced to share the streets with horses,coaches and,later,with cars and other motorized vehicles.2 .The modem,traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s when both city populations and car ownership increased rapidly.Dirty gases from cars and the risks involved in crossing the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience.Many believed the time was right for experimenting with car-free streets and shopping areas seemed the best place to start.3 .At first,there was resistance from shopkeepers.They believed that such a move would be bad for business.They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars.When the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic,there were even noisy demonstrations,as may shopkeepers predicted they would lose customers.4 .However,research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected statistics.In Munich,Cologne and Hamburg,visitors to shopping areas increased by 5Opercent.On Copenhagen's main shopping street,shopkeepers reported sales increases of 25-40 percent.Shopkeepers in Minneapolis,the USA,were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the construction and maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets.5 .With the arrival of the traffic-free shopping street,many shops,especially those selling things like clothes,food and smaller luxury items,prospered.Unfortunately,it wasn't good news for everyone, as shops selling furniture and larger electrical appliances（电器）actually saw their sales drop.Many of these were forced to move elsewhere,away from the city centre.Shopkeepers mistakenly believed that car-free streets would keep away______.A:pedestriansB:North AmericaC:customersD:a bad experienceE:Middle Eastern countriesF:furniture sellers
