The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name.But Gregory Cochran is[1]to say it anyway.He is that[2]bird,a scientist who works independently[3]any institution.He helped popularize the idea that some diseases not[4]thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections,which aroused much controversy when it was first suggested.
[5]he,however,might tremble at the[6]of what he is about to do.Together with another two scientists,he is publishing a paper which not only[7]that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others,but explains the process that has brought this about.The group in[8]are a particular people originated from central Europe.The process is natural selection.
This group generally do well in IQ test,[9]12-15 points above the[10]value of 100,and have contributed[11]to the intellectual and cultural life of the West,as the[12]of their elites,including several world renowned scientists,[13].They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases,such as breast cancer.These facts,[14],have previously been thought unrelated.The former has been[15]to social effects,such as a strong tradition of[16]education.The latter was seen as a(an)[17]of genetic isolation.Dr.Cochran suggests that the intelligence and diseases are intimately[18].His argument is that the unusual history of these people has[19]them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this[20]state of affairs.

The United States is a country made up of many different races.Usually they are mixed together and can't be told from one another.But many of them still talk about where their ancestors came from.It is something they are proud of.
The original Americans,of course were the Indians.The so-called white men who then came were mostly from England.But many came from other countries like Germany and France.
One problem the United States has always had is discrimination.As new groups came to the United States they found they were discriminated against.First it was the Irish and Italians.Later it was the blacks.Almost every group has been able to finally escape this discrimination.The only immigrants who have not are the blacks.Surprisingly enough the worst discrimination today is shown towards the Indians.
One reason the Indians are discriminated against is that they have tried so hard to keep their identity.Of course they are not the only ones who have done so.The Japanese have their Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and the Chinese a Chinatown in New York.The Dutch settlement in Pennsylvania also stays separate from other people.Their towns are like something from the 19th century.They have a different reason from the other groups for staying separately.They live separately for religious reasons rather than keep together in a racial group.
Although some groups have kept themselves separate and others have been discriminated against,all groups have helped make the United States a great county.There is no group that has not helped in some way.And there is no group that can say they have done the most to make it a great country.
Many people still come from other countries to help the United States grow.A good example is the American project that let a man walk on the moon.It was a scientist from Germany who was most responsible for doing that.It is certain that in the future the United States will still need the help of people from all racial groups to remain a great country.
21.Which of the following statements can best describe the main idea of this passage?
[A]The United States is a country made up of many different races
[B]Discrimination is the most serious problem in the United States
[C]All races in the United States have helped make the country a great one
[D]The prosperity of the United States is mainly due to the hard work of the most discriminated races
22.In the first paragraph the word "told" means________.
[A]separated
[B]distinguished
[C]revealed
[D]made known
23.This passage implies that discrimination is a problem which________.
[A]many races in the United States have experienced
[B]will still be very serious in the United States in the future
[C]has already been solved in the United States
[D]is strongly opposed by many different races in the United States
24.The main reason why the Indians are most discriminated against is that________.
[A]they have tried hard to keep their religions
[B]they have tried hard to live together to keep their Indian customs
[C]they are the only ones who have tried to keep their identity
[D]they discriminate many other races
25.The Dutch live separately in Pennsylvania________.
[A]to escape discrimination
[B]to keep together in a racial group
[C]to enjoy themselves in their own towns
[D]for religious reasons

The simple act of surrendering a telephone number to a store clerk may not seem harmful—so much so that many consumers do it with no questions asked.Yet that one action can set in motion a cascade of silent events,as that data point is acquired,analyzed,categorized,stored and sold over and over again.Future attacks on your privacy may come from anywhere,from anyone with money to purchase that phone number you surrendered.If you doubt the multiplier effect,consider your E-mail inbox.If it's loaded with spam,it's undoubtedly because at some point in time you unknowingly surrendered your E-mail to the wrong Web site.
Do you think your telephone number or address is handled differently?A cottage industry of small companies with names you've probably never heard of—like Acxiom or Merlin—buy and sell your personal information the way other commodities like corn or cattle futures are bartered.You may think your cell phone is unlisted,but if you've ever ordered a pizza,it might not be.Merlin is one of many commercial data brokers that advertises sale of unlisted phone numbers compiled from various sources—including pizza delivery companies.These unintended,unpredictable consequences that flow from simple actions make privacy issues difficult to grasp,and grapple with.
In a larger sense,privacy also is often cast as a tale of"Big Brother"—the government is watching you or a big corporation is watching you.But privacy issues don't necessarily involve large faceless institutions:A spouse takes a casual glance at her husband's Blackberry,a co-worker looks at E-mail over your shoulder or a friend glances at a cell phone text message from the next seat on the bus.While very little of this is news to anyone—people are now well aware there are video cameras and Internet cookies everywhere—there is abundant evidence that people live their lives ignorant of the monitoring,assuming a mythical level of privacy.People write E-mails and type instant messages they never expect anyone to see.Just ask Mark Foley or even Bill Gates,whose E-mails were a cornerstone of the Justice Department's antitrust case against Microsoft.
And polls and studies have repeatedly shown that Americans are indifferent to privacy concerns.The general defense for such indifference is summed up a single phrase:"I have nothing to hide."If you have nothing to hide,why shouldn't the government be able to peek at your phone records,your wife see your E-mails or a company send you junk mails?It's a powerful argument,one that privacy advocates spend considerable time discussing and strategizing over.
It is hard to deny,however,that people behave differently when they're being watched.And it is also impossible to deny that Americans are now being watched more than at any time in history.
26.In the first paragraph,the telephone number is cited to show________.
[A]many customers didn't keep their privacy confidential
[B]it is harmful to give a store clerk a telephone number
[C]careless disposal of personal information can be harmful
[D]customers should inquire its use when giving telephone numbers to others
27.What do companies like Acxiom and Merlin do?
[A]Compile telephone directories for businessmen
[B]Collect and sell personal information to make a profit
[C]Trade commodities like corn on the market
[D]Crack down crimes like stealing private information
28.From Paragraph 3,we learn that________.
[A]cases of privacy intrusion happen only in large institutions
[B]people are quite aware of how their privacy is intruded
[C]it is not privacy intrusion when a wife glances at her husband's cell phone
[D]Bill Gates' email messages were cited as evidence against him
29.It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that the author thinks________.
[A]Americans are actually concerned about privacy issues
[B]Americans are indifferent to privacy concerns
[C]Americans are very frank about privacy concerns
[D]Americans are puzzled about privacy concerns
30.Which of the following is the author's viewpoint?
[A]Never give your private information to anyone
[B]People should pay more attention to their privacy issues
[C]Do not surrender your email to any website
[D]It does no good saying"I have nothing to hide"

You've now heard it so many times,you can probably repeat it in your sleep.President Obama will no doubt make the point publicly when he gets to Beijing:the Chinese need to consume more;they need—believe it or not—to become more like Americans,for the sake of the global economy.
And it's all true.But the other side of that equation is that the U.S.needs to save more.For the moment,American households actually are doing so.After the personal-savings rate dipped to zero in 2005,the shock of the economic crisis last year prompted people to snap shut their wallets.
In China,the household-savings rate exceeds 20%.It is partly for policy reasons.As we've seen,wage earners are expected to care for not only their children but their aging parents.And there is,to date,only the flimsiest（脆弱的）of publicly-funded health care and pension systems,which increases incentives for individuals to save while they are working.But China is a society that has long esteemed personal financial prudence（谨慎）.There is no chance that will change anytime soon,even if the government creates a better social safety net and successfully encourages greater consumer spending.
Why does the U.S.need to learn a little frugality（节俭）?Because healthy savings rates are one of the surest indicators of a country's long-term financial health.High savings lead,over time,to increased investment,which in turn generates productivity gains,innovation and job growth.In short,savings are the seed corn of a good economic harvest.
The U.S.government thus needs to act as well.By running constant deficits,it is dis-saving,even as households save more.Peter Orszag,Obama's Budget Director,recently called the U.S.budget deficits unsustainable and he's right.To date,the U.S.has seemed unable to see the consequences of spending so much more than is taken in.That needs to change.And though Hu Jintao and the rest of the Chinese leaderships aren't inclined to lecture visiting Presidents,he might gently hint that Chinese government is getting a little nervous about the value of the dollar—which has fallen 15%since March,in large part because of increasing fears that America's debt load is becoming unmanageable.
That's what happens when you're the world's biggest creditor:you get to drop hints like that,which would be enough by themselves to create international economic chaos if they were ever leaked.(Every time any official in Beijing deliberates publicly about seeking an alternative to the U.S.dollar for the $2.1 trillion China holds in reserve,currency traders have a heart attack.)If Americans saved more and spent less,consistently over time,they wouldn't have to worry about all that.
31.How did the economic crisis affect Americans?
[A]They had to tighten their belts
[B]Their bank savings rate dropped to zero
[C]Their leadership in the global economy was shaken
[D]They became concerned about China's financial policy
32.What should be done to encourage Chinese people to consume?
[A]Changing their traditional way of life
[B]Providing fewer incentives for saving
[C]Improving China's social security system
[D]Cutting down the expenses on child-rearing
33.What does the author mean by saying "savings are the seed corn of a good economic harvest"(Line 4,Para.4)?
[A]The more one saves,the more returns one will reap
[B]A country's economy hinges on its savings policy
[C]Those who keep saving will live an easy life in the end
[D]A healthy savings rate promotes economic prosperity
34.In what circumstances do currency traders become scared?
[A]When Chinese government allows its currency exchange rates to float
[B]When China starts to reduce its current foreign reserves
[C]When China talks about switching its dollar reserves to other currencies
[D]When Chinese government mentions in public the huge debts America owes China
35.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?
[A]To urge the American government to cut deficits
[B]To encourage Chinese people to spend more
[C]To tell Americans not to worry about their economy
[D]To promote understanding between China and America

At the fall 2001 Social Science History Association convention in Chicago,the Crime and Justice network sponsored a forum on the history of gun ownership,gun use,and gun violence in the United States.Our purpose was to consider how social science history might contribute to the public debate over gun control and gun rights.To date,we have had little impact on that debate.It has been dominated by mainstream social scientists and historians,especially scholars such as Gary Kleck,John Lott,and Michael Bellesiles,whose work,despite profound flaws,is politically congenial to either opponents or proponents of gun control.Kleck and Mark Gertz,for instance,argue on the basis of their widely cited survey that gun owners prevent numerous crimes each year in the Untied States by using firearms to defend themselves and their property.If their survey respondents are to be believed,American gun owners shot 100,000 criminals in 1994 in self-defense—a preposterous number.Lott claims on the basis of his statistical analysis of recent crime rates that laws allowing private individuals to carry concealed firearms to deter murders,rapes,and robberies,because criminals are afraid to attack potentially armed victims.However,he biases his results by confining his analysis to the year between 1977 and 1992,when violent crime rates had peaked and varied little from year to year.He reports only regression models that support his thesis and neglects to mention that each of those models find a positive relationship between violent crime and real income,and inverse relationship between violent crime and unemployment.
Contrary to Kleck and Lott,Bellesiles insists that guns and America's "gun culture" are responsible for America's high rate of murder.In Belleville's opinion,relatively few Americans owned guns before the 1850s or know how to use,maintain,or repair them.As a result,he says,guns contributed little to the homicide rate,especially among Whites,which was low everywhere,even in the South and on the frontier,where historians once assumed gun and murder went hand in hand.According to Bellesiles,these patterns changed dramatically after the Mexican War and especially after the Civil War,when gun ownership became widespread and cultural changes encouraged the use of handguns to command respect and resolve personal and political disputes.The result was an unprecedented wave of gun-related homicides that never truly abated.To this day,the United States has the highest homicide rate of any industrial democracy.Bellesile's low estimates of gun ownership in early America conflict,however,with those of every historian who has previously studied the subject and has thus far proven irreproducible.Every homicide statistic he presents is either misleading or wrong.
Given the influence of Kleck,Lott,Bellesiles and other partisan scholars on the debate over gun control and gun rights,we felt a need to pull together what social science historians have learned to date about the history of gun ownership and gun violence in America,and to consider what research methods and projects might increase our knowledge in the near future.
36.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the public debate over gun ownership?
[A]It has little influence on the forum sponsored by the Crime and Justice network
[B]Neither supporters nor opponents of gun control cite the works of scholars
[C]The works of mainstream social scientists have great impact on it
[D]Many social science historians have so far failed to take part in it
37.The author mentions Kleck,Lott,and Bellesiles mainly to________.
[A]illustrate the influence they have on the issue of gun control
[B]refute the claim that private ownership of firearms will deter violent crimes
[C]support the thesis that gun ownership leads to more violence
[D]demonstrate why research methods should be improved in the study of the gun ownership history
38.The author's main criticism of John Lott is that he________.
[A]advocates private ownership of firearms
[B]is not objective in his analysis
[C]has analyzed a wrong period
[D]has cited dubious statistics
39.With which of the following will Bellesiles most probably agree?
[A]Gun control should be tightened
[B]Guns have little to do with murder
[C]"Gun culture"was the result of high homicide rates in America
[D]The statistics that earlier historians produced of gun ownership is reliable
40.The passage is primarily concerned with________.
[A]resolving a public dispute over gun control
[B]describing the effects of earlier studies on gun control
[C]analyzing the flaws in the previous theories about gun control
[D]summarizing the recent development in the studies of gun controlPart B
