I admit it made me feel pretty special to have Yale, one of the best universities in the world, approach me, a fairly average high school senior from New Jersey.‎ But why me? My grades are nothing to brag about. I didn’t qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Competition. I haven’t led a team sport or conducted scientific research.‎ Later, I learned that each year, Yale sends mailings to roughly 80,000 potential students for its freshman class of 1,300.For the class of 2018,Yale rejected 93.7 percent of its applicants. And, according to the College Board,95 percent of Yale’s enrolled(注册入学)students were in the top 10 percent of their high school classes.‎ Colleges want a top ranking by U.S. News & World Report. One way to get it? Low acceptance rates, which come from attracting lots and lots of applicants—and then rejecting almost all of them.‎ So schools mail fancy brochures and send sincere e-mails to many more students than they’ll accept.‎ Top schools defend their marketing, arguing that they’re reaching students who otherwise might not apply—because they don’t think they could get in, or don’t realize that most top schools offer lots of need-based financial aid. As William Fitzsimmons, ‎ dean of Harvard admissions, said: “There are so many students out there in the world who might not automatically think about Harvard as a place to go. The chances of reaching the top of anything are not good, but is that a reason not to try?”‎ But most of the students Fitzsimmons is talking about don’t consider Harvard because they’re not academically qualified. Kids like me don’t need false hope. Approaching students with a slim chance of getting in just creates more confusion and disappointment.‎ So Yale (and Brown and Columbia), stop selling me on impossible dreams.‎ ‎24. Why did Yale send the author an e-mail?(　　)‎ A. To show it’s a top college.‎ B. To persuade her to apply to it.‎ C. To introduce its diverse courses.‎ D. To send its congratulations to her.‎ ‎25.The underlined part “brag about” in Paragraph 3 probably means 　　　. ‎ A. worry about ‎ B. think about C. be proud of ‎ D. be ashamed of ‎26.We can infer from Fitzsimmons’ words that 　　　. ‎ A. a good beginning makes a good ending B. a brave attempt is a half success C. the older, the wiser D. no pains, no gains ‎27. What does the author think of the approaches of top colleges?(　　)‎ A. She finds them easy to understand.‎ B. She seems satisfied with them.‎ C. She considers them necessary.‎ D. She finds them annoying.‎ ‎ （C）‎ Baby girls make their way to dolls as soon as they can crawl and boys will head for ‎ the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show consistent differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.‎ Dr. Brenda Todd carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged between nine months and 36 months. They were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were boys’ toys :a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy (泰迪熊). The rest were girls’ toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever they pleased. Their choices, and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.‎ Of the youngest children (between nine months and 14 months),girls spent much longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than girls did. Among the two-and-three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with the car, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ views on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choices.‎ Dr. Brenda Todd said, “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given toys that move while girls get toys which may help shape their preferences. But these findings are consistent with the former idea that children show interest in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been well adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts (本能),while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”‎ ‎28. Baby girls and boys have different preferences perhaps because 　　　. ‎ A. baby boys are much more active B. baby girls like bright colors better C. parents have an effect on their views D. there may be a biological difference ‎29. Which is the only toy that boys and girls both like to play with?(　　)‎ A. A ball. B. A teddy. C. A car. D. A doll.‎ ‎30. From Paragraph 3,it can be inferred that 　　　. ‎ A. nine-month-old baby boys play with no dolls B. two-year-old baby girls play with the car and ball sometimes C. the older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is D. parents should teach baby boys and girls to play with each other’s toys ‎31. From the results of the study, Dr. Brenda Todd drew a conclusion that 　　　. ‎ A. adults bring about babies’ preference by chance B. babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings C. baby boys preferring moving toys will be good at hunting D. baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted ‎ (　D　)‎ What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science, until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene(基因)linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.‎ Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15.What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136,putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103.An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.‎ Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these.“ The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”‎ Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, ‎ including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.‎ Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses(天才)do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’ s hope for us all!‎ ‎32. What is the topic of the passage?(　　)‎ A. The relationship between genes and intelligence.‎ B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.‎ C. How to develop intelligence.‎ D. What makes intelligence.‎ ‎33. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?(　　)‎ A. To make a suggestion. B. To draw a conclusion.‎ C. To prove an idea. D. To give an example.‎ ‎34. What can we learn from the passage?(　　)‎ A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.‎ B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.‎ C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.‎ D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.‎ ‎35. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?(　　)‎ A. The development of intelligence.‎ B. The idea of multiple intelligences.‎ C. IQ isn’t everything for intelligence.‎ D. Alternative views have been put forward.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insects bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had ‎ nothing in common with me. 36 .‎ The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. ‎ ‎ 37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.‎ I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. ‎ ‎ 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. ‎ ‎ 39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. ‎ ‎ 40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.‎ A．This time there was no tent. B．Things are going to be improved. C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.
