environment and our experience? Strangely enough,the answer to these questions is yes. To some
extent Our intelligence is given to US at birth,and no amount of education can make a genius (天才)
out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand,a child who lives in a boring environment
will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding (环境). Thus the limits
of person" s intelligence are fixed at birth,whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his
environment. This view, now held by most experts,can be supposed in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the
blood relationship between two people,the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two
unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely
different. If, on the other hand,we take two identical twins,they will very likely to 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 now that we take two identical (完全相同的)twins and put them in different environments.
We might send one,for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the working is boring.
We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this shows 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 degree of intelligence.
B. not reach his intelligence in his life
C. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
D. still become a genius if he should be given special education
B. take out two different persons
C. choose two persons who are relative
D. choose two persons with different inteili2ence
B. the importance of their positions
C. the importance of their intelligence
D. the role of environment on intelligence
C. Dependence on Environment
B. Intelligence
D. Effect of Education

towers and street features that appear in the photo. The hyperlinks lead to information about the history,
services and context of all the features in the photo. You have just hyperlinked your reality.
That might be a little unbelievable, but the technology exists and is no fevered imagination. This is
not a cool small machine invented for the next James Bond movie; this is a working technology just
developed by European researchers. It could be coming to a phone near you, and soon.
This, as the marketing types say, is a game changer. It develops a completely new interface (界面)
that combines webtechnology with the real world. It is big and fresh, but it goes much further and has
much greater influence.
The development of the system is most outstanding because image recognition technology has long
been pregnant with promise, but seems to suffer from an unending labour.
Now MOBVIS has not only developed image recognition,it has also developed more applications
for the technology; and it has adapted it to the world"s most popular technology: the mobile phone.
The MOBVIS system completely rewrites the rules for exploration and interaction with your
physical environment. The system begins with panoramas (一连串景象). These panoramas form the
basis of a city database. It can match buildings, towers, banners and even logos that appear in the
panoramas.
A user simply takes a picture of the street feature, MOBVIS compares the user"s photograph to the
panoramas and then identifies the buildings from the picture you take and the relevant links are returned.
Then you simply click on the links, using a touchscreen phone, and the MOBVIS system will provide
information on the history, art, architecture or even the menu, if it is a restaurant,of the building in
question.
B. A popular mobile phone.
C. A cool small machine.
D. An image recognition system.
B. It is a little unbelievable and just a fevered imagination.
C. It has taken an unending labour to bring the technology into our lives.
D. It will encourage the users to take more pictures of the street features.
a. A city database forms in the system.
b. MOBVIS recognizes the picture and links are returned.
c. A user touches the links on the phone screen.
d. A user takes a picture of the street feature.
e. MOBVIS provides information in question.
B. a, d, b, c, e
C. d, c, e, a, b
D. c, a, e, b, d
B. the writer is trying to promote the sales of the MOBVIS system
C. this new technology will soon be very popular in our lives
D. the sales of mobile phones will decrease as MOBVIS comes on market
you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However,
they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other bird
s to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a "territory" is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as
its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome.
Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger
should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten
him away.
If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same
thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting season. So he is screaming all
the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird"s song, and it is
usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter
the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language all their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and
setting up territories.
B. a way of warning
C. an expression of anger
D. a way of greeting
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
C. An area for which birds fight against each other.
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.
B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.
C. Because they want to find outsiders around.
D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.
B. By reporting experiment results.
C. By describing birds" daily life.
D. By telling a bird"s story.
a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims.
The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show
up in people"s hair.
" You"re what you eat and drink, and that"s recorded in your hair," said Thure Cerling, a geologist at
the University of Utah.
While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move. Most hydrogen and oxygen
atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The
heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California
than to Utah.
Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and
oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair
corresponds to about two months.
Cerling"s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional
differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber
shops. They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to
the movement of rain systems.
"It"s not good for pinpointing(精确定位)," Cerling said. "It"s good for eliminating many possibilities."
Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an
unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.
The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.
When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers.
Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about
every two months.
She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between
eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.
"It"s still a substantial area," Park said "But it narrows it way down for me."
B. A person"s hair may reveal where they have lived.
C. Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.
D. The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.
B.Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.
C.Food and drink leave traces in one"s body tissues.
D.Food and drink are essential to one"s existence.
B.The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.
C.Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.
D.It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.
B.It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.
C.It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.
D.It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation
30 minutes of walking three days per week was enough to drive down blood pressure and improve
overall fitness in a group of healthy sedentary (久坐的) adults.
For optimum(最佳的)health, adults are currently recommended to engage in 30 minutes of moderate(适度的)exercise for at least five days of the week. But few people achieve this level of weekly activity,
often citing lack of time as the reason.
Dr. Mark A. Tully, of the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, and his colleagues designed a study
to see if exercising at a level lower than currently recommended would improve overall fitness and heart
health.
A total of 106 healthy but sedentary adults between the ages of 40 and 61 participated in the
12week study. The subjects were randomly (随机地) assigned a 30minute walk 3 days per week
(44 subjects) or a 3minute walk 5 days per week (42 subjects), while the remainder did not change
their lifestyle(the nonwalking control group).
After 12 weeks, Tully’s team found that blood pressure fell and waistlines and hiplines (臀围)
reduced in size significantly in both the 3day walkers and 5day walkers. Overall fitness also increased in
both walking groups. In contrast, no changes occurred in the nonwalking control group.
The experts noted that the degree of positive change in blood pressure and waist and hip size seen in
the 3day and 5day walkers is enough to make a difference to an individual’s risk of heart disease.
"These results may encourage people who feel they do not have time to exercise for 5 days each
week to consider finding time to do a lower weekly target of exercise," Tully and his colleagues
concluded.
B. To encourage people to do as much exercise as possible.
C. To remind sedentary adults to do some exercise.
D. To tell people how to improve overall fitness.
B. They will be too tired.
C. They will have heart attacks.
D. The level of the exercise is too high for them.
B. The participants are all over 40 years old.
C. The participants do a 30minute walk 3 days a week and a 3minute walk 5 days a week in every
two weeks.
D. Both the 3day walkers and 5day walkers improved their health conditions.
B. Even a low level of exercise in a week can improve one"s heart health.
C. Walking can improve one"s heart health.
D. Walking can make a difference to people’s heart.
which was good enough for our grandparents. The theories of modern psychology have stepped into
argue that we must understand the need of children. Children are not just small adults; they are children
who must be respected as much.
Well, you may say, this is as it should be, a good idea. But think further. What happens?
"Education" becomes the responsibility not of teachers, but of psychologists. What happens then?
Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications of their lessons, and forget about the
subjects themselves. If a child dislikes a lesson, the teacher feels that it is his fault, not the child"s. So
teachers worry whether history is "relevant" to modern young children. And do they dare to recount
stories about violence? Or will this make the children themselves violent? Can they tell their classes about
children of different races, or will this encourage racial hatred? Why teach children to write grammatical
sentences? Verbal expression is better. Sums? Arithmetic? No. Reallife mathematical situations are more
understandable.
You see, you can go too far. Influenced by educational theorists, who have nothing better to do
than to write books about their ideas, teachers leave their teachertraining colleges filled with grand,
psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make elaborate (精致的), sophisticated (复
杂的) preparations and try out their "modern methods" on the longsuffering children. Since one "modern
method" rapidly replaces another the poor kids will have had a good bellyful by the time they leave
school. Frequently the modern methods are so sophisticated that they fail to be understood by the
teachers, let alone the children; even more often, the relaxed discipline, so essential for the "informal"
feelings the class must have, prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything.
1. People do not dare to defend the old system mainly because under the old system ________.
A. too much grammar was taught to children
B. children were spoiled
C. children were treated as grownups
D. children were made to learn passively
2. What view do the modern psychologists hold?
A. Children must be understood and respected.
B. Children are small adults and know what they need.
C. Children are better off without learning lessons.
D. Education of children is the responsibility of psychologists.
3. What happens when teachers pay too much attention to the psychology of their lessons?
A. They find that the children dislike the lessons.
B. They tend to blame students for their failure.
C. They do not pay enough attention to the actual lessons.
D. They no longer want to teach children history.
4. Grammatical sentences are regarded as unimportant because ________.
A. it is better to use verbs only
B. words are said out of natural feelings only
C. talking freely and naturally without sentences is a better form of expression
D. it is felt that formal grammar rules might cause unnatural expressions
