　　Part Ⅱ Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)

　　Section C(復(fù)合式聽寫調(diào)整為單詞及詞組聽寫，短文長(zhǎng)度及難度不變。)

　　Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

　　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 the 225 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.
