  Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

  It isn’t often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A.D.McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history of aviation’s progress in Canada.

  It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John McCurdy confounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mile over the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first po wered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth.

  McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability—and of the development and the use of the aileronby being the first man in the world to execute a figure eight in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first crosscountry race in Canada40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto—and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.

  When World War Ⅱ came, McCurdy took on board supervisory authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions.

  Following World War Ⅱ, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia where he made Canada’s first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck, site of his first flight.

  A.the name of a weapon

  B.a plane bought by McCurdy

  C.the nickname of a famous Canadian pilot 

  D.a plane designed by McCurdy

  33.McCurdy is NOT the first one to ____. 

  C.fly from Key West to Toronto D.fly to Mexico

  34.Nowadays, McCurdy ____.

  A.lives in Montreal in summer

  B.is the lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia

  C.is still very active and energetic

  D.is the government’s counsellor

  35.The best title for this passage is ____.

  B.McCurdy’s Legendary Experience

  C.McCurdy and the Canandian Aviation

  D.McCurdy—the Symbol of American Aviation and the Aircraft Industry

  Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

  The oldest and simplest method, then of describing differences in personality was to classify people according to types, and such a system is called a Typology.A famous example of this method was set forth in Greece about the year 400 BC.

  A physician named Hippocrates theorized that there were four fluids, or humors, in the body. Corresponding to each humor, he believed, there existed a definite type of personality.

  The four humors were blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. A person in whom all four humors were in perfect balance had a harmonious personality. If a person had too much blood, he was called sanguine(血红色), or cheerful and optimistic. Someone with too much yellow bile was choleric, or irritable and easily angered. Too much black bile made a person melancholy, or depressed and pessimistic. An oversupply of phlegm caused a human being to be phlegmatic, or slow and unfeeling. Scientists have long since discarded Hippocrates’ fluid theory. But the names of the humors, corresponding to these temperaments, have survived and are still useful, to some extent, in describing personality.

  Other features of people, such as their faces and physics, have also been used to classify personality. Today, however, personality theories and classifications may also include factors such as heredity(遗传特征), the environment, intelligence , and emotional needs. Psychology, biology, and sociology are involved in these theories. Because of the complexity of human personality, presentday theories are often very different from one another. Psychologists vary in their ideas about what is most important in determining personality.

  36.According to Hippocrates’ fluid theory, a man with too much phlegm will be ____. 

  A.optimistic B.easily angered C.unexcitable D.pessimistic

  37.The main idea of this passage is about ____.

  A.the complicated factors in determining one’s personality B.Hippocrates’ fluid theory and its development

  C.the past and today of personality classifications and theories D.different personalities and their details 

  38.At present, psychologists ____.

  A.have common opinion about personality theories and classifications 

  B.use biology, archaeology and sociology to study personality theories 

  C.have abandoned Hippocrates’ fluid theory entirely

  D.all agree that human beings are characterized with complex personalities 

  9.The third paragraph mainly talks about ____. 

  A.Hippocrates’ fluid theory

  B.scientists’ points of view on Hippocrutes’ fluid theory 

  C.Hippocrates’ fluid theory and its fate 

  D.defects in Hippocrates’ fluid theory

  40.According to this passage the factors which are still NOT used to clas sify personality are ____.

  A.one’s born features and needs of love and success 

  B.one’s height and weight 

  C.one’s hobbies and ideals

  D.the environment and intelligence 
