Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人 保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76) He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life. Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77)The team paid him only $ 15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team. In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and filed events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests. People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals , he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world. ” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King. ” From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _______.
A.India
B.Pennsylvania
C.Oklahoma
D.Sweden

W: Well, can we summarize the problem from our point of view? First of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade fairs. The ads also did not appear into key magazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened?
M: Well, the delay wasn't entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements.
W: Hmm, actually, you were late with the initial proposals, so you had very little time. And in fact, we only asked for small changes.
M: Well, whatever. Can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for four extra weeks?
W: That's not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade fairs. Because of this, we're asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we only pay 50% of the fee for this year.
M; Could we suggest a 20% reduction to the fee together with the four-week sustention to the campaign?
W: We are not happy. We lost business.
M: I think we both made mistakes. The responsibility is on both sides.
W: Ok, let's suggest a new solution. How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free repeat campaign?
M: Well, let's take a break. We're not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this.

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
In the late 1960's many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems,and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers(摩天楼)were widely criticized. Scientists pointed out that blocks of tall buildings in a city often overburdens. public transportation and parking lot capacities.
Skyscrapers are also big consumers,and wasters,of electric power. In one recent year. the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowatts-enough to supply the entire city of Albany,New York,for a day.
Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss(or gain)through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical brick wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment,builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed(装上玻璃的)panels of glass,and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However. mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings.
Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city's sanitation(卫生)facilities,too. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2.25 million gallons of raw wastes each year-as much as a city the size of Stamford,Connecticut,which has a population of more than 109,000.
Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception,block bird flyways,and obstruct air traffic. In Boston in the late 1960's,some people even feared that shadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common.
Still,people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that they have always built them-personal ambition(抱负)pride,and the desire of owners to have the largest possible amount of rentable space.
The main purpose of the passage is to______.
A. compare skyscrapers with other modem structures
B. describe skyscrapers and their effect on the environment
C. advocate the use of masonry(化妆舞会)in the construction of skyscrapers
D. illustrate some architectural designs of skyscrapers

They looked at the first problem, which was something simple about free radical formation and was worth 5 points. “Cool," they thought, “this is going to be easy. " They did that problem and then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page. It said: (95 points) Which tire was flat?

The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster (收养) homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
This selection can be titled ______.
A.Measuring Your Intelligence
B.Intelligence and Environment
C.The Case of Peter and Mark
D.how the Brain Influences Intelligence
