四、阅读理解（每小题2分，共20分）

Passage 1
A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement, his our misforttme that for most of us that clear -eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood(成年期). I hope each child in the world will keep a sense of wonder and make it last throughout life, as an unfailing protection against the boredom of later years.
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship( 陪伴) of at least one adult(成年人) who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. Parents often have a sense of inadequacy when facing on the one hand the eager, sensitive mind of a child and, on the other, a world of complex physical nature, confused by a life so various and unfamiliar that it seems hopeless to reduce it to order and knowledge. In a mood of self-defeat, they exclaim, "How can I possibly teach my child about nature-why, I don' t even [mow one bird from another?"
I sincerely believe that for the child, and for the parent seeking to guide him, it is not half so important to know as to feel. ff facts are the seeds(种子) that later produce knowledge and wisdom(智慧), then the emotions (情感) are the fertile soil (肥沃的土壤) in which the seeds must grow The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil. Once the emotions have been aroused-a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity admiration or love-then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Once found, it has lasting meaning. It is more. important to prepare the way for the child to want to Knox than to put him on a load of facts he is ready to understand.

51. The word "awe"(Para. 1, Line 3) can be best replaced by .
A) emotion C) wisdom
B) respect D) response

52. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is Not true'?
A) Adults often feel bored.
B) Children always see the world with fresh curious eyes.
C) Children are likely to keep their sense of wonder when they grow up because they get the gift from file good fair3
D) Adults are attracted by things that are artificial.

53. It can be learned from the second paragraph that .
A) parents can never teach their children about nature.
B) parents should learn from their children
C) parents often do not know much about nature themselves
D) parents should know one bird from another

54. What can be inferred from the author's comments on facts?
A) Facts are less important than the curiosity to know.
B) Facts are the most important things for children to learn.
C) Facts are meaningless for children.
D) Facts are so undeniable that tilex' should be recognized without prejudice.

55. The best title of this passage can be .
A) Child's World

Passage 2
Faces, like fingerprints, are unique ( 独一无二的 ) Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people'? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features(特征) that make one face different from another. Yet aver)' young child ~ or even ma animal. such as a pigeon - can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave (举止) When we talk about someone's personality(人格，个性), we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex (复杂). But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person", you might begin to think about someone who was kind. considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon At port, an American psychologist (心理学家)， found nearly 18，000 English words characterizing differences in people's behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types - people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to" type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain (坏人) or the hero's role. In fact. the words "person" and "personality" come from the Latm(拉丁文) persona, meaning "mask". Today. most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

56. By using the example of finger prints, the author tells us that
A) people can learn to recognize faces
B) people have different personalities
C) people have difficulty in describing the features of finger prints
D) people differ from each other in facial features

57. According to this passage, some animals have the gift of
A) telling people apart by how they behave B) typing each other
C) telling good people from bad people D) recognizing human faces

58. Who most probably knows best how to describe people's personality?
A) the ancient Greek audience B) the movie actors
C) psychologists D) the modem TV audience

59. According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person from another because
A) people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics
B) human fingerprints provide unique information
C) people's behavior can be easily described in words
D) human faces have complex features

60. Which of the following is the major point of the passage'?
A) Why it is necessary to identify people's personality?
B) Why it is possible to describe people?
C) How to get to know people'?
D) How best to recognize people'?
