第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分）（共1小题；第50、51题各2分，第52题3分，第53题5分，共12分）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。

• 18．Are we getting more stupid？According to Gerald Crabtree，a scientist at Stanford University in the US，we are.
      According to Dr.Crabtree，human intelligence may have actually mounted to the top more than 2，000 years ago and ever since then it has been going downhill.Dr.Crabtree states that genetic mutations （基因变异） during the past several thousands of years are causing a decrease in overall human intellectual and emotional fitness.
      At the heart of Crabtree's thinking is a simple idea.Our bodies choose what genes we decide to keep and pass on what will most likely benefit our children.The study explains how our body decides to keep those traits that make us most healthy and most immune，not the ones that make us most intelligent.So since we need to be healthy but possibly not as smart，we start to lose the genes that make us smart.
      There are other scientists that seem to agree with Dr.Crabtree.Ray Williams，from MIT，carried out a survey of general knowledge among public school students in his study.The data showed that 77% of the students didn't know who was the first president of America and 18% of the Americans still believed that the sun goes around the earth.So Dr.Crabtree's idea that people could be getting stupider could be factual.
      However，not everyone believes in Crabtree's theory.James Flynn，the author of Are We Getting Smarter，argues that human mental abilities have grown，because we are learning what possibilities are open to us and have developed a wider variety of intelligence.
      "You wouldn't get Stephen Hawking 2，000 years ago，" Thomas Hills，another opponent from the University of Warwick，says， "But now we have people of his intelligent level doing things and making insights that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation."
  
  （1）What does Dr.Crabtree believe about human intelligence？

  
  （2）How did Ray Williams prove Dr.Crabtree's theory to be true？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  People who question Dr.Crabtree's theory believe that people today have similar intelligence to people in ancient times.

  
  （4）Are you for or against Dr.Crabtree's belief on human intelligence？Explain your reasons.（In about 40 words）
