It was not until in 1955 that Qian returned to China with the help of the late premier Zhou Enlai. “I plan to do my best to help the Chinese build a

40、 nation where they can live with dignity (尊严) and happiness, ” Qian told reporters before sailing for China in 1955. The great scientist devoted all his life to keeping the promise. 59.

55、fice so you wont be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that wont leave you too shortBut if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check bookOf course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-cashing card is no longer vali

56、d(有效的), so it wont be much use to you.Actually I dont mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I dont suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left th

57、e bag behind and just taken the wallet and check bookThere were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you . I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasnt even an

58、 expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather handbag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes.

59、affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel offended and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged（耸） their shoulders. “It happens all the time,” they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But Ive lost just a little more faith in human nature. And as my young

60、 son said when I told him what had happened, “Why? Mummy, why us?” I couldnt answer that question. I wonder if you can.67In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to _.Adescribe the contents of the bag in detail Bgive some suggestions to the three thievesCtell the thieves they could hardly get any mo

63、on for her valuable bag.EAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a gen

64、ius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will d

65、epend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. Thus if we take

66、two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually h

67、ave similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differen

68、ces in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.71. The writer is i

69、n favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him_.A. at birth B. through educationC. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth nor through education72. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_.A. become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be given special e

70、ducationC. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not reach his intelligence in his life.73. In the second paragraph, the underlined sentence means if we_.Apick any two persons B. take out two different personsC. choose two persons who are relative D. choose two persons with different

71、intelligence74. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_.A. the importance of their intelligence B. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays75. The best title of the passage can be _.A. Surroundi

72、ngs B. Intelligence C. Dependence on Environment D. Effect of education第II卷第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。The business world has become very competitive these days and every company is trying its best to increase its market share.
