27、根據材料，回答27-36題

It is commonly thought that age brings wisdom. And this is largely true, it seems--unless you are Japanese. In which case, by the time you are 25, you (26)__________be just as wise as your elders, an (27)__________new study reveals.

Americans, however, are more (28)__________and develop deep understanding over time, (29)__________a research by the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.

In one of the tests, designed to measure five (30)__________ aspects of reasoning, U.S. citizens' scores improved by 22 percent over 50 years.

But, in the (31)__________ scored out of 100, both 25-year-old and 75-year-old Japanese participants had an average quotient of 51 for intergroup wisdom--the idea of understanding society.

With Americans, on the other hand, results from the same tests (32)__________between averages of 45 and 55 between the two age groups.

Also, (33) __________ wisdom--the understanding of relationships between individuals--the scores of the225 U.S. participants climbed from 46 to 50. However,(34)__________the 186 Japanese people, their scores actually dropped slightly from 53 to 52.

The tests also recorded other unexpected results. Given the U.S. reputation of an individualistic society, you might expect its participants' interpersonal wisdom to be higher than their supposedly more collective Japanese(35) __________. Yet the study showed that by 75, the Japanese scored higher in the interpersonal wisdom and Americans, in fact, achieved higher results in the intergroup variety.

Dr Grossman suggested that perhaps, then, you need individual skills when society is collective, and social ones when it is individualistic.

　　四、選詞填空 Section A

37、根據材料，回答37-46題

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

England's highest main-line railway station hangs on to life by a thread: deserted and unmanned (無人的 )since it was officially closed in 1970. Dent, 36 high in the hills of Yorkshire, wakes up On six summer weekends each year, when a special charter train unloads walkers, sightseers and people who37want to catch a train from the highest station, on to its platform. But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end.

Dent station is situated on the Settle to Carlisle railway line, said to be the most38in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line from British Rail's cash problems. This year, for the 39 of economy, the express trains which used to pass through Dent station have been put on to another route.

It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Its bridge, built on a grand 40 a century ago, is falling down. It is not alone. Half-a-dozen railway routes in the north of England are facing a similar threat. The problem is a worn-out system and an almost 41 lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their age, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are getting old. On42lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. These lines still make a profit and cash can be found to43 them. But on the country branch line, the story is different. As track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead speed limits are introduced, making journeys longer than necessary and discouraging customers.

If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from another44. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at Bridlington station was threatening to fail down. Repairs were45 at 200,000--just for one bridge--and British Rail was delighted, and rather surprised, when two local councils offered half that amount between them.

A. maintain

B. scenic

C. transcend

D. source

E. estimated

F. sake

G. complex

ly

I. consolidation

J. situated

K. respectively

L. total

M. major

N. restrained
