5．Are some people born clever，and others born stupid？Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences？Strangely enough，the answer to both these questions is yes.On one hand，our intelligence is given to us at birth，and special education can never make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence.On the other band，a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth，but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.This view，now held by most experts，can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to say that intelligence is something we are born with.The closer the blood relationship between two people，the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population，it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely djye.aiferent.If，on the other band，we take two identical twins，they will very likely be as intelligent as each other.Relations like brothers and sisters，parents and children，usually have similar intelligence，and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine that now we take two identical twins and put them in different environments.We might send one，for example，to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring.We would soon find differences in intelligence developing，and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part.This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other，but who are not related at all，are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
（1）Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Paragraph 1？
A．To some extent，intelligence is given at birth.
B．Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C．Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D．Intelligence is fixed at birth，but is developed by the environment.
（2）It is suggested in this passage that.
A．close relations usually have similar intelligence
B．unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
C．the closer the blood relationship between people，the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D．people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
（3）The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows.
A．the importance of their intelligence
B．the role of environment in intelligence
C．the importance of their positions
D．the part that birth plays组卷：0引用：1难度：0.4 -
6．Drew Lanham grew up on the farm his grandfather built in Edgefield County，S.C.jye.ai the 1920s.Lanbam，now 54，says his father felt a responsibility to stay on the land and care for the animals and crops there.To Lanham，that family land was connected with his love for birds.He would spend hours observing birds like the prairie warbler and the bobwhite quail when he was young.
Lanbam said he believed from a very early age he would be someone who studied birds.However，he lost rack of that dream on the road to becoming an engineer. "Before I left for college，everyone around me said， 'You're good at math and science.Be an engineer.Make money.Drew.' And for a while，I tried that，but hated every last moment of it，" he said.
When he took a return trip to the farm，the farm was unrecognizable.All of these wonderful forests that he'd grown up in had been cut.But some wildlife remained. "I remember the day when I left.I was driving up this dirt road，and the birds were singing 'Zee，zee，zee'，" he said.The birds' song lit a fire under Lanham.After his visit back to the farm，be couldn't see himself returning to work as an engineer.Therefore，he got on track to study to become an ornithologist（鸟类学家）.
Lanbam researched the eastern bluebird. "The work was often hot and bard and long hours.But there were moments when I would look up and there would be the songs of birds.These moments made me realize that I was doing what I bad always dreamed of，" he said.
Lanham thinks that his turn towards the study of nature is carrying his father's legacy（遗产）forward.

7．Who is a genius？This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Lets state clearly：Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius.But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us？And who are they？
In the sciences and arts，those praised as geniuses were most often white men，of European origin，Perhaps this is not a surprise.It's said that history is written by the victors，and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club- women，or people of a different color or belief - they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six，girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender（性别）are "really，really smart".Even worse，the study found that girls act on tat belief：Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really，really smart".Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up？It doesn't take a genius to know the answer：absolutely not.
Here's the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication，we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.And the more we look，the more we will see that social factors（因素）like gender，race，and class do not determine the appearance of genius.As a writer says，future geniuses come from those with "intelligence，creativity，perseverance（毅力），and simple good fortune，who are able to change the world."
（1）What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club？
A．They're unfair
B．They're conservative.
C．They're objective.
D．They're strict.
（2）What can we infer about girls from the study in Science？
A．They think themselves smart.
B．They look up to great thinkers.
C．They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D．They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
（3）Why are more geniuses known to the public？
A．Improved global communication.
B．Less discrimination against women.
C．Acceptance of victors' concepts.
D．Changes in people's social positions.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Geniuses Think Alike
B．Genius Takes Many Forms
C．Genius and Intelligence
D．Genius and Luck组卷：7引用：2难度：0.4
