16、ice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Shortly after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, a lady was asked what she thought of the idea that humans and animals came down from a

17、 common ancestor (祖先). Let us hope it is not true, she said. And, if it is true, let us hope it does not become public knowledge.This story is probably untrue, but it illustrates well the attitudes of the time. Today, we are more comfortable with our past. Many people accept Darwin s view of how we

18、came into being - that our bodies evolved through the process of natural selection acting on our genes.However, Darwin believed evolution was responsible for far more than just our physical characteristics. He saw it as the major influence in shaping our psychology. Indeed, he predicted that in the

19、distant future, psychology will be based on a new foundation. This foundation was, of course, his theory of evolution.To those in favor of concepts like free will and personal responsibility, such an idea seems quite stupid. But a growing number of scientists are questioning the extent to which our

20、behavior is controlled by our culture. Their research has revealed increasing evidence that the human mind is made up of natural mechanisms (if; h-g,), which control everything from the way we perceive (感知) time and space, to how we learn survival techniques and choose mates.21. The story about the

21、lady suggests that, in Darwins time, the theory of evolution made many people feelA) embarrassed B) delighted C) comfortable D) miserable22.

23、ng to Darwins view, our psychology A) will change greatly in the future B) has nothing to do with evolution C) is mainly shaped by evolutionD) is shaped by our physical characteristics25. If Darwins view on our psychology is correct, what controls our behaviorA) The characteristics of our culture. B

24、) The mechanisms of our mind.C) The way we perceive time and space.D) The way we live and choose mates.Passage FourQuestions are based on the following passage.November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United States. Voters all across the nation are electing representatives in local and national

25、 races. Some people think they are voting for the president of our country too. Theyre not! Again, theyre voting for representatives, who are called electors.In most states the electors are chosen on a winner-take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most electors while get

26、ting less popular votes nationally than his opponent.The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for the president and the vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution (宪法) does not force the electors to vote for the candidates that they promise to vote for, but t

27、hey almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in the Congress.If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the winners will be chosen by the Congress. The House of Representati

32、elected.A) how B) why C) where D) whenOne of the best-known proverbs must be “early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” The promise of health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retirees and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern
