New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges the monly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.Scientific consensus (共识) suggests intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. After this point, IQ scores bee steady. But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation(刺激) from other people is important as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle-the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true - so people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables”. He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage pared to a similar child with equally bright brothers and sisters. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.24. According to the text, it is monly believed that _.A. peoples IQ levels fall as they age B. it is wise to share family members viewsC. people cant improve their intelligence during adulthoodD. doing something challenging is good for ones intelligence25. The underlined word “nosedive” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _A. vary B. develop C. change D. fall26. Which of the following can help improve ones intelligence according to Professor Flynn? A. Making many friends B. Staying with smart people C. Doing exercise every day. D. Learning from brothers or sisters27. The purpose of the text is to _.A. inform B. advertise C. entertain D. persuadeCOn a July afternoon in 1937, 15-year-old Betty Brown was playing with her fathers shortwave radio at home in Florida. She was searching for her favorite songs so she could copy the lyrics down in a notebook. While daydreaming, Brown casually turned the dial on the radio until she heard something that made her stop. It was a voice that sounded familiar. Back in those days, news clips (新闻摘要) were played at movie theaters. Brown recognized the voice from one of the news films she had seen. “ I heard Amelia Earhart in a panicked voice, a heartbreaking voice,” Brown recalled in a xx interview. “ She was saying, This is Amelia Earhart Putnam, please help me. Please hear me.”Brown quickly began writing down what she heard-parts of desperate conversations between the woman she believed was Earhart and an unknown man. Later, she decided that the man must have been Earharts navigator (领航员)，Fred Noonan. As the signal faded in and out, Brown never left the radio. She scribbled (潦草地写) away as Earhart and Noonan struggled for control of the radio. Earhart tried to prevent Noonan from leaving the plane after they had apparently crash-landed. All the while, Earhart repeated strings of numbers and mentioned rising water. After about three hours, Earhart and Noonan were seemingly forced to abandon the plane as it was filled with water, and the distress calls (求救信号) stopped. Brown and her father both tried to give her notes to the United States Coast Guard, but they were told the situation was under control. The search for Earhart was abandoned after a great effort was made, and Brown eventually stopped trying to tell people what she heard. But she kept her notebook. In xx, people from an organization researching Earharts disappearance asked to see it. The researchers were convinced that Browns notes were reliable. If the researchers are right, the notes are a priceless, yet sorrowful, record of the sad ending of an American hero.28. Betty Brown stayed by the radio for so long because she _.A. was waiting for her music to e back onB. enjoyed recording peoples conversationsC. wanted to gather more information about Earharts situationD. wanted to take notes for a book about Earhart29. From the Coast Guards reaction to Brown, we can infer that the Coast Guard _.A. did not want to look for Earhart B. did not believe Brown heard EarhartC. wanted Brown to help them find Earhart D. already knew where Earhart was30. Why did Brown most likely keep her notebook for so long?A. She hoped that it would be worth some money.B. She felt Amelia Earhart would someday be found.C. She wanted to write a song about Amelia Earhart.D. She believed it contained valuable information.31. Which word can best describe Brown?A. Determined B. Forgetful C. Independent D. Careless第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(答题卡涂在36-40题上，32-35放空白)Its 4 a.m. The clock ticks, the dog snores and you just stare. And you know you shouldnt be staring you should be sleeping! 36 , and its hard to fall asleep when youre mad .So what do you do? The tips below might help you sleep easier. Heres the advice of Eric Olson and Harneet Walia, two doctors from the Cleveland Clinics Sleep Disorders Center:Get out of bedWhen you lie awake in bed, you send yourself the wrong message. As Walia says, youre basically training your body not to sleep in bed, but to lie there and not sleep. 37 . Olson puts it another way: “The longer we lie there and get frustrated in that environment, the more we e to expect it next time were there. 38 . ”So if youre unable to sleep, slip into your bunny slippers and out of the room.Try relaxation techniquesUse whatever relaxation tips you know to fight against this inappropriately timed wakefulness. 39 . You simply note the rising and falling of your breath, and focus on the parts of your body where you feel your breath, whether its in the lungs, tip of your nose or elsewhere. 40 Sometimes the sleeplessness arises from worry. Your brain is overworking, thinking about your bank account and the big meeting tomorrow. For people who consistently have trouble quieting the mind at night, Olson suggests trying to train your mind to think about those things at more appropriate times of the day.A. Erase anxietyB. Figure out appropriate timesC. Your mind can get used to thatD. Try your favorite calming yoga poseE. You need to develop a regular sleep scheduleF. We e to associate the bedroom with not sleeping wellG. The frustration that you cannot go to sleep will make you feel angry第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45）第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 15 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 You can never imagine how big and plex the inner world of a three-year-old child is，even as a momYesterday afternoon I went to 41 Nicole from her daycare centerOn the way home，she looked 42 in the beginning，telling me about the daytime activities，while later when 43 and quiet came back to her，she looked tired After we 44 the bus，there was still another 15 minutes of climbing up along a hill to our 45 She asked me where her daddy wasI told her that daddy was still workingShe 46 the fact and sighed with” Okay ，somewhat 47 On the way back，she was not as cooperative as usualSometimes she 48 to walk，but to stand in the middle of the roadSometimes she stepped 49 to the grassland and tried to kick off the snow 50 the bare grass could be seenAnd she kept _51 all the wayFinally we arrivedAll of a sudden she 52 tears and lost her temper outside the doorWhy are you crying so sadly？Tired？The last sentence caused an even louder 53 ，Mommy cant carry me!
