Passage One

Thomas Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American.When he died in 1931,Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.

One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout.All elec-tric power would be shut off at homes,in streets or factories.

Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inven-tions meant to them.Electric power was so important to the country.Shutting it off for e-ven a short time would have led to complete confusion.A blackout was out of the question.

On the day of Edison's funeral,many people silently dimmed the lights.In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of elec-tricity at his country people's fingertips.

36.People decided to honor Edison when

A.he made the first electric light

B.electric power was 100 years old

C.the country realized electricity's importance

D.he died in 1931

37.The suggested plan was to

A.turn off the lights in factories and schools B.observe a few minutes of total silence

C.dim all electric lights D.shut offall electricity for a short time 38.Americans fully realized what Edison's inventions meant when they

A.heard of his death B.heard of the plan to honor him

C.first used electric power D.tried to carry out the plan 39.The plan was never carried out because

A.not everyone wanted to honor Edison

B.it was too difficult

C.electric power was too important to the country

D.in honored only one of Edison's inventions

Passage Two

Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-known book on the subject,"The Privileged Ones"and his research show that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little.“Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,”says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work prospects.But most important is the equality of family life.Money can't buy love.”

It can buy a lot of other things,however,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country,which causes feelings of restlessness.

“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,”adds Mr.Coles,“and they are more self-assured.”The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income.So money will never be one of their problems.“However,they will have a sense of isolation,”warns Dr.Coles,“and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance.Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth.There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that."

Today's wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children.So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

40.In his book The Privileged Ones,Dr.Coles implies that

A.there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor family

B.rich children live a life of separation from the world

A.there are both advantages and disadvantages to being rich

B.travelling a lot will be beneficial to children

C.rich children usually have little confidence in themselves

D.rich kids are often short of money because of their life of luxury

42.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A.Rich children usually lead a life of happiness.

B.Rich children have earned what they have.

C.Rich children tend to feel isolated.

D.Rich children are hardly given too many material things.

43.According to this passage,

A.life is really a long journey of joy for rich children

B.the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their par-ents

C.it is more important for wealthy parents to make sure that their families are rich in love as well as in money

D.today all the wealthy parents are sure of the problems their money can bring

Passage Three

Passage Five

The two most common kinds of logic or reasoning are inductive and deductive.

Inductive reasoning is mainly scientific and factual.It begins with collected data,exper-iments,and examples.When enough information has been collected,a statement of a princi-ple is taken from the examples.

Deductive reasoning begins with a general principle and applies it to a specific instance or specific instances.The conclusions of deductive thinkers are more tentative than the con-clusions of inductive thinkers,who arrive at a principle instead of starting from one.Deduc-tive thinkers are accurate only to the extent that their principle is correct and only to the extent that they have applied it truly.

Both inductive thinking and deductive thinking are tested and questioned by those to whom the conclusions are presented.Of an inductive thinker,one asks whether the facts are true,whether the exceptions have been noted,whether the selection of materials is repre-sentative,whether the conclusions are truly and accurately drawn from the data,whether the conclusions are stated precisely or exaggerated.Of a deductive thinker,one asks wheth-er the given principle is impartial truth or mere personal opinion,whether it is applied to materials relevantly,whether the conclusion is accurate according to the principle,and whether exceptions have been noted.

With good motives and bad,with honesty and with deceit,different thinkers reach dif-ferent conclusions derived from the same data or from the same principle.

52.Which one of the following should an inductive thinker pay attention to?

A.Whether the general principle is impartial truth or mere personal opinion.B.Whether he is honest or not.

C.Whether the facts are true or not.

D.Whether the general principle is applied to materials relevantly.

53.The common concern for inductive thinkers and deductive thinkers is A.whether the exceptions have been noticed

B.whether they are bearing good motives or not

C.whether the conclusions are derived from the same data

D.whether they starts from the same general principle

54.Which statement among the following is true?

A.Deductive thinking is mainly scientific and factual.

B.The deductive thinkers will never be accurate.

C.Both inductive thinking and deductive thinking are tested and questioned by those to whom the conclusions are presented.

D.One will not care about whether the facts used by and inductive thinker are represent-ative or not.

55.What's the main topic of this passage?
