end, but a means to an endin other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating themour purpose is to fit them for lifein some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nationbut we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countriesbut we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no foodif no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our townsin fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of ones workonly such a type of education can be considered valuable to society46the writer of the passage thinks that _aeducation can settle most of the worlds problemsbfree education for all probably leads to a perfect worldcfree education wont help to solve problemsdnot all the social problems can be solved by education47the writer wants to prove that _aour society needs all kinds of jobs bour society needs free education for allca farmer is more important than a professor dwork with hands is the most important48the purpose of education is _ato choose officials for the country b. to prepare children mainly for their future workcto let everyone receive education fit for him dto build a perfect world49the passage tells us about _ of the educationathe meansbthe system cthe value dthe type50. in the writers opinion, what jobs would some people with university degree accept?a. farmer b. professor c. cleaner d. workerchere are two questions: 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. to some degree our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius 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 surroundings. thus the limits of a persons 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 show that intelligence is to some degree 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 different. if on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) 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 now that 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. 51. which of these sentences best describes the writers point in para. 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.52. it is suggested in this passage that_.a. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceb. close relations usually have similar intelligencec. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be intelligenced. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degreesof intelligence53. in para.2, the underlined words mean_.a. on purpose b. at once c. in particular d. without purpose54. we can learn from para. 2 that _.a. both birth and environment are important to ones intelligence.b. intelligence is in a way something that one is born with.c. environment affects ones intelligence.d. birth plays a greater part in intelligence than environment. 55. the best title for this article would be_.a. on intelligence development b. what intelligence means c. we are born with intelligence. d. environment plays a part in intelligence第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。（共5小题 每小题2分，满分10分）when i was 16 years old, a boy gave me an important gift 56_it was
