by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with fewer educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to do parents who had been to college.

Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Three American psychologists did a research study several years ago on what Americans value most. In the study, eighteen values were asked to put in the order of importance. The result is as follows: 1. family security
2.a world at peace
3. Freedom 4.self-respect
5. Happiness 6.wisdom 7. a sense of accomplishment 8.a comfortable life
9. true friendship 10.salvation(拯救)in the religious 11.inner harmony 12.equality 13. national security 14.mature love 15. a world of beauty 16.pleasure 17. an exciting life 18.social recognition
Are you surprised that Americans place their values in this way? Did you think they would put their values in a different order? I would have thought love and friendship might have come higher on this list. As you can see, several of these values are closely related to each other and are dependent upon each other. In other words, we cannot have 1-family security without 2 a world at peace ,and 3 national security.
The results of the study showed that people who placed equality high up on their list of values were those who had positive attitudes towards persons of other races and who supported civil rights activity, especially the work of Martin Luther King Jr.
Another interesting finding in this study was that eleven -year-old children ranked a world of beauty 7th in importance, but fifteen-year old children ranked a world of beauty 14th and adults ranked it 17th. Well, what does it mean? Probably it means that as people grow older and take on more responsibilities in their work and with their own families, that appreciating beauty move-back into the background of their lives. What a pity! Children have more time to enjoy beauty and Nature.
Philosophers, psychologists and religious people have always been very much concerned with values. After all, values represent what we each hold most dear to ourselves and to our society. Societies establish their own forms of government based on the collective values of the people, or at least they try to do so. 16. The best title of this passage can be ▲.
A. The American People B. Research on American Values C. How Psychologists Do Research
D. The American Social Custom
<小赵老师解析>: 答案B，主旨大意题。整篇文章是关于美国人的价值观的，全文反复出现的词就是values。
17. Which of the following might the writer place higher on the list?
A. A world of beauty. C. Equality and freedom.
B. A comfortable life, D. Love and friendship.
<小赵老师解析>: 答案D, 细节题。由第二段 “I would have thought love and friendship might have come higher on this list.” 可以看出，作者认为爱和友谊是最重要的。 18. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. All Americans look forward to the equality of different races B. Psychologists got some interesting results from this study.
C. Family security and a world at peace are dependent upon each other.
D. People’s concepts of values play an essential role in the formation of their government system.
<小赵老师解析>: 答案A，细节题。由第三段The results of the study showed that people who placed equality high up on their list of values were those who had positive attitudes towards persons of other races and who supported civil rights activity, …可以看出，并非所有美国人都希望种族平等。
19.The finding that children ranked“a world of beauty”higher than adults probably means that ▲ .
A. American schools begin to lay more emphasis as beauty education
B. American children are usually more kind- hearted than adults
C. adults have less time to enjoy beauty and Nature because of more responsibilities D. a world of beauty would be the most important thing as people grow older
<小赵老师解析>: 答案C，细节题。定位词a world of beauty, 定位于第四段，由最后三句话 “Probably it means that as people grow older and take on more responsibilities…Children have more time to enjoy beauty and Nature.”可以看出，成年人由于要承担更多的责任，无法像孩子一样欣赏美。
20. According to the last paragraph, values represent ▲.
