Directions: Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage.

IQ. stands for "Intelligence Quotient", which is measure of a person's intelligence found by means of an intelligence test. Before marks gained in such a test can be useful as information about a person, they must be compared with some standard, or norm. It is not enough simply to know that a boy of thirteen has scored, say,ninety marks in a particular test. To know whether he is clever, average, or dull, his marks must be compared with the average achieved by boys of thirteen in that test.

In 1906 the psychologist, Alfred Binet (1857-1911),devised the standard in relation to which intelligence has since been assessed. Binet was asked to find a method of selecting all children in the schools of Paris who should be taken out of ordinary classes and put in special classes for defectives. The problem brought home to him the need for a standard of intelligence, and he hit upon the very simple concept of "mental age".

First of all, he invented a variety of tests and put large numbers of children of different ages through them. He then found at what age each test was passed by the average child. For instance, he found that the average child of seven could count backward from 20 to 11 and the average child of three could repeat the sentence: "We are going to have a good time in the country." Binet arranged the various tests in order of difficulty, and used them as a scale against which he could measure every individual. If, for example, a boy aged twelve could only do tests that were passed by the average boy of nine, Binet held that he was three years below average, and that he had a mental age of nine.

The concept of mental age provided Binet, and through him, other psychologists, with the required standard. It enabled him to state scores in intelligence tests in terms of norm. At first, it was usual to express the results of a test by the difference between the "mental" and the "chronological" age. Then the boy in the example given would be "three years retarded(发展迟缓的)". Soon, however, the "mental ratio" was introduced, that is to say, the ratio of the mental age to the chronological age. Thus a boy of twelve with mental age of nine has a mental ratio of 0.75.

The mental age was replaced by the intelligence quotient of "IQ. ". Clearly, since the mental age of the average child is equal to the chronological age, the average IQ.is 100.

31. To judge a child's standard, his marks in a test must be compared with marks gained by ___

A. others of the same age

B.older and younger children

C. a number of children aged thirteen

D. the same child when at different ages

标准答案：A

32. The word "defective" (in paragraph 2) is used for ___

A. average children

B. poor children

C. children of low intelligence

D. very intelligent children

标准答案：C

33. Which of the following words could be used to replace "concept" (in Paragraph 4) without changing its meaning?

A. Device

B.Trick

C. Thought

D. Idea

标准答案：D

34. A boy of nine who is "three years retarded" has a mental age of ___

A.six

B.nine

C. twelve

D.three

标准答案：A

35. The "IQ." refers to ___

A. the mental age divided by the chronological age and multiplied by a hundred

B. the mental age multiplied by the chronological age and divided by a hundred

C. the chronological age divided by the mental age and multiplied by a hundred

D. the average age divided by the mental age and multiplied by a hundred

标准答案：A

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage.

In England, Christmas Day and Good Friday have been holidays for religious reasons since the establishment of Christianity in the country. Christmas is celebrated on December 25, not Christmas Eve as in several other European countries. The other public holidays (or "Bank Holidays") are Easter Monday, May Day (May 1"), the Spring Bank Holiday (the last Monday in May), the Summer Bank Holiday (the last Monday in August), December 26* (Boxing Day), and New Year's Day. The term "Bank Holiday" goes back to the Bank Holidays Act of 1871, which owes its name to the fact that banks are closed on the days specified.

Boxing Day takes its name from the old custom of giving employees or tradesmen (such as milkman) an annual present or "Christmas box" on that day.

Easter Monday is generally regarded as an unofficial consecration (祭祀)of Spring. It used to be the day on which the ladies would parade in the parks, wearing new dresses and hats. Although this custom is dying out, the tradition still provides the ladies with a pretext for buying spring clothes.

The August Bank Holiday is probably the most popular one of the year, partly because it comes at a time when children are not at school.

In Ireland, St. Patrick's Day (March 17*) is also a Bank Holiday. St. Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland.It is curious that St. George's Day (April 23) not a public holiday in England though St. George is the Patron Saint of England. However, the flag of St George ( a red cross on a white background) or the Union Jack is flown on that day, particularly by churches of the Church of England.
