Ⅳ.阅读理解
There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born with.Human brains differ considerably,some being more capable than others.But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with,an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared.If an individual is handicapped environmentally,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The
importance
of
environment
in
determining
an
individual’s
intelligence
can
be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins,Peter and Mark X.Being identical,the twins had identical brains at birth,and their growth processes were the same.When the twins were three months old,their parents died,and they were placed in separate foster homes.Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities.Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college.He was read to as a child,sent to good schools,and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens,when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Mark’s I.Q.was 125,twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother.Given equal opportunities,the twins,having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.
41.This selection can best be titled________.
A.Measuring Your Intelligence
B.Intelligence and Environment
C.The Case of Peter and Mark
D.How the Brain Influences Intelligence
42.The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that______.
A.human brains differ considerably
B.the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence
C.environment is vital to determine a person’s intelligence
D.persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence
43.According to the passage,the average I.Q.is________.
A.85B.100C.110D.125
44.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that________.
A.individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
B.an individual’s intelligence is determined only by his environment
C.lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
D.changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain
45.This passage suggests that an individual’s I.Q.________.
A.can be predicted at birth
B.stays the same throughout his life
C.can be increased by education
D.is determined by his childhood
课时作业答案
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.D 考查名词词义辨析。句意为:昨天你为什么没和朋友去钓鱼?嗯,钓鱼是一个需要很大耐心的爱好,而我不具备这一点。根据生活常识,我们也知道钓鱼需要耐心。patience “耐心;忍耐”符合题意;其余strength 力量,money 金钱,wisdom 智慧,均不合句意。
2.B 考查习语运用和动词辨析。句意为:我还不习惯早起,但我不得不让自己适应这一点。由此可知第一空表示“习惯于做某事”,可用be used/accustomed to doing来表示,排除C、D;第二空可用adapt/accustom oneself to...使自己习惯于……。A项中的adopt为“采纳;收养”之意。
3.A 考查词义辨析和搭配。句意为:你是因为我对校长撒谎而指责我吗?accuse sb.of (doing) sth.指责/控告某人…… 符合要求;scold “责备;指责”和for连用;remind sb.of 提醒某人……;tell sb.of 告诉某人……,均不合句意。
4.D 考查搭配。the former...the latter...是固定搭配,指两者中的“前者……,后者……”。second,next一般与first连用,later “迟的,晚的”不符合句意,也不和the former连用。
5.C 考查likely的用法。句意为:瞧,天上乌云密布,可能马上就要下雨了。It’s likely to do...很可能……;possibly和perhaps都是副词,不作表语,probable只用于“It’s probable that...”这一句型。
6.C 句意为:没有人知道她是否会嫁给那个男孩,若嫁给他,她父母会很失望的。第一个if引导宾语从句,一般将来时应保持不变;第二个if引导条件状语从句,应该用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
7.D 考查宾语从句的语序和it指人的情况。宾语从句应用陈述语序,故可先排除A、C;另外,按英语习惯,当用于指代身份不明的人或婴儿时,要用it,而不用he或she。
8.C 考查宾语从句的引导词。通过分析发现“________it is...loves”是know的宾语从句,不是定语从句,只是被插入语my dear friend隔开罢了,而且从句内容完整,不缺成分。
9.C 考查表语从句的引导词。根据doubt的用法:用于肯定句时,后面接whether或if引导的名词性从句,而当其用于否定句时,其后常接that引导的名词性从句。
10.A be patient with sb.对某人耐心,是固定短语。
11.C similarly 同样地,句意为:我们通过锻炼强身健体,同样的也通过学习增强心智。A项“很可能”,B项“可能的”,D项“一般地”。
12.C 考查set组成的短语动词辨析。句意为:警察们已开始调查这起事故的起因。set about当“着手”讲应用set about doing,故排除A项;set aside意为“放在一边,存储”,意思不符;set out to do sth.着手做某事;set up 建立。
13.D 句意为“现在我觉得肚子疼。我刚才本来不应该吃那么多的炸鸡的”。
14.B 考查宾语从句中的虚拟语气和表语从句的引导词。“that he...New York”是think的真正宾语,由于它在necessary之后,从句谓语动词应用(should)+动词原形,故排除A;再从语态上可排除D;答语中的表语从句是个省略句,但不缺少成分,故选that,排除C。
15.C 考查名词辨析。句意为:辩护律师在问那位老人,他是上个月发生的谋杀案的其中一位目击者。witness “目击者,见证人”符合题意;其余observer 观察员,viewer 观众,audience 观众,听众,均不确切。
Ⅱ.句子翻译

17.Though having studied in Harbin for 4 years,she couldn’t accustom herself to the cold weather there.

21.D 小说家劳伦斯·诺莫夫在授课时“问”(ask)学生。

29.C 我想很多学生“选修”(take)我的课只为拿学分……。take one’s course选修某人的课。
30.D 当你知道有的学生会连授课老师的名字都懒得“弄清楚”(find out),这也实在令人“失望”(disappointed)。
31.A 结合上一句理解,选finding out。

34.D 他们指出,这种无知并不“新鲜”(new)。

36.A 过去的学生更会由于不知道某些东西而“感到苦恼”(be troubled),更会去刻苦学习以弥补差距。
37.C “而”(however)如今,像一位书评家所说的……。
38.D 像一位书评家所说的:“问题是他们对此还满不在乎。”用care about表示“关心,在乎”的意思,符合语境。
39.C 我们的世界越来越复杂,要掌握任何一门有“特殊”(particular)规律的学科——如计算机、人寿保险、医学——所需要知道的信息都按几何级数地大规模增长了。
40.B 我们被迫要“成为”(become)专家……。用become符合语境。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 人的智商是由两个因素决定的,一个是遗传,另一个是人们所处的教育环境。一对失去父母的双胞胎兄弟成为很好的佐证。
41.B 考查主旨大意。本文主要讨论了智商与环境之间的关系,并以一对失去父母的双胞胎兄弟的实例加以证明。
42.C 考查推理判断。虽然人的智商是由两个因素决定的。但是本文用大幅篇章说明了环境的重要性:好的学习、教育环境对于一个人的智商发展来说是必不可少的,并以一对失去父母的双胞胎兄弟的实例加以证明。
43.B 考查细节理解。由倒数第二句“Mark’s I.Q.was 125,twenty-five points higher than the average”可知选B。
44.C 考查细节理解。由Peter的例子可知糟糕的教育环境会阻碍智商的发展。
45.C 考查细节理解。由Mark的例子可知,好的学习、教育环境可以提高一个人的智商。
