【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項 (A．B．C和D)中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

Team building games can be fun for teenagers. They can also be tools for strengthening the group. There are many levels of team building exercises. Let’s look at some activities that can help you build a stronger team.

Pass the Clap

Pass the Clap works well as a beginning activity to help your group get to know each other. Have the participants stand in a circle. One person starts the clap and then turns to face the person next to him. As they are about to make eye contact, they clap together. That next person now has the clap and he has to pass it on. Continue to pass the clap around the circle.

Blindfolded Birthday

Blindfolded Birthday works well after people have become a little more familiar with each other. Everyone puts on a blindfold. Then, without talking, they have to line up in order of birthdays.

Two Truths and a Lie

Two truths and a Lie can be played anytime in the group’s operations. Have the participants sit in a circle. Each person is supposed to tell two truths and a lie about themselves. The group has to guess which is the lie.

Human Knot

Human Knot is an activity best played after your group has gotten quite familiar with each other, because there can be a lot of touching going on. Everyone gathers in a circle. They put their right hands in the middle of the circle. They grab someone else’s hand. Then the left hands go in the middle and they grab someone else’s hand. The group is now knotted up. The object of Human Knot is to untie the group without letting go of any hands.

【1】Pass the Clap is most helpful for ________.

A. starting relationships B. rebuilding relationships

【題目】閱讀理解。

Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, sibling (兄弟姐妹) or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you smarter.

New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be boosted throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching (拉伸) careers.

The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is static by the age of about 18. Current scientific consensus suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a partial role up to this age. After this point, IQ scores stabilize (穩(wěn)定).

But James Flynn, professor of political studies and psychology at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their own intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation (刺激) from others is crucial as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true – so people sharing a home or workplace with those who are intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels fall as a result.

He found the “understanding quality” of a family changes the IQs of all members, especially children. It can “l(fā)ift” or hold back, depending on the “gap between their brightness and that of their siblings and parents”. A bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage, compared to a similar child with equally bright siblings. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter siblings and special educational treatment to help pull them up.

Professor Flynn also concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80 percent of intelligence, the remaining 20 percent is linked to lifestyle. This means that people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. Therefore, the best way to boost IQ level is to mix with bright friends, find an intellectually challenging job and marry someone cleverer.

【1】We can learn from the passage that ____.

A. as the age grows, you will become smarter

B. a 35-year-old man is surely smarter than himself at the age of 18

C. you will be smarter if you have a partner, a friend or a sibling

D. after 18, you still have the possibility to become smarter

【2】The underlined word “static” in the 3rd paragraph probably means ____.

A. unstable B. fixed

C. varied D. repeated

【3】James Flynn holds the belief that ____.

A. intellectual stimulation from others makes the brain work better

B. people should avoid working with those intellectually challenged

C. one’s IQ could be held back if he has bright brothers or sisters

D. the IQ of children is least influenced by the understanding level of a family

【4】 What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Genetics Determines Intelligence.

B. Watch Out for Intelligence Falling.

C. Bright Siblings Make You Smarter.

D. Brain Is Like Muscle.

【題目】閱讀理解。

The traditional distinction between products that satisfy needs and those satisfy wants is no longer adequate to describe classes of products. In today’s prosperous societies, the distinction has become unclear because so many wants have been turned into needs．A writer, for instance, can work with paper and pencils. These are legal needs for the task．But the work can be done more quickly and efficiently with a word processor. Thus a computer is soon viewed as a need rather than a want.

In the field of marketing, consumer goods are classed according to the way in which they are purchased．The two main classes are convenience goods and shopping goods．Two lesser types are specialty goods and unsought (未被要求的) goods. It must be emphasized that all of these types are based on the way shoppers think about products, not on the nature of the products themselves. What is regarded as a convenience item in France(wine，for example)should be a specialty goods in the United States.

People do not spend a great deal of time shopping for such convenience items as groceries, newspapers, toothpaste, aspirin, and candy. The buying of convenience goods may be done routinely, as some families buy groceries once a week. Such regularly purchased items are called staples. Sometimes convenience products are bought without enough thinking; someone has a sudden desire for an ice cream sundae on a hot day. Or they may be purchased as emergency items.

Shopping goods are items for which customers search. They compare prices. quality, and styles, and may visit a number of stores before making a decision．Buying an automobile is often done this way.

Shopping goods fail into two classes：those that are recognized as basically the same and those that are regarded as different. Items that are looked upon as basically the same include such things as home appliances, television sets, and automobiles．Having decided on the model desired, the customer is primarily interested in getting the item at the most favorable price. Items regarded as essentially different include clothing, furniture, and dishes. Quality, style and fashion will either take precedence(優(yōu)先) over price, or they win not matter at all.

【1】It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.

A．a(chǎn) writer needs a word processor

B．needs and wants can’t be separated clearly

C．the way to distinguish the products is unimportant

D．a(chǎn) computer is a need rather than a want

【2】The example of wine is used to illustrate that ________.

A．goods are classified differently in different counties

B．the type of a product is determined by its consumers

C．Frenchmen often drink but Americans sometimes do

D．one product may belong to many types

【3】Staples are items that ________.

A．a(chǎn)re convenient to purchase

B．a(chǎn)re purchased without enough thinking

C．people “want but don’t need”

D．people are in constant need of

【4】Shopping goods that are considered as basically the same are those that ________.

A．consumers don’t care where to buy them

B．consumers spend much time searching for

C．meet similar needs of the consumers

D．can be found in nearly every shop

The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)

If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 【1】 Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.

◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 【2】But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.

◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 【3】 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.

◆ 【4】After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.

◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 【5】 In the end, you will expand your ideas.

A. I often experienced that myself.

B. It trains you to express your thoughts.

C. It allows you to see your progress over time.

D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.

E. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.

F. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.

G. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
