【语篇导读】短文介绍了年仅3岁的女孩艾利克斯马丁因其超人的智商被收入门萨俱乐部，成为年龄最小的成员。她的超凡智力是如何培养出来的呢？41. a 一般的iq (智商) 测试就是获取一个人基本的智力水平。42. d 根据文章第三段，百分之二的人才有资格被列入门萨俱乐部。因此，全球七十亿的百分之二为1.4亿。43. b 该题的关键是对gifted词义的掌握，即“有天才的”，而非“礼物”的意义。44. c 从文中第九段可知，她学到新的词汇以后，就能准确地应用到语境中（context）。45. a alexis的智商与爱因斯坦、霍金、比尔盖茨等名人很接近，反过来，当然就是他们的智商与她相似了。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。the internet will open up new vistas (前景)，create the global villageyou can make new friends all around the world.that，at least, is what it promised us.the difficulty is thatit did not take the human mind into account.the reality is that we can not keep relationship with more than a limited number of people.no matter how hard the internet tries to putyou in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.the problem is twofold(双重的)first, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with.that number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain.second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest (投入) in them.we invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute whats left among as many others as we can.the problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline (减弱)until eventually it dies into “someone i once knew”this is not, of course, to say that the internet doesnt serve a socially valuable function.of course it does.but the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.in one sense, thats a good thing.but it also has a disadvantage.if you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you arent using your time to make new friends where you now live.and i suspect that probably isnt the best use of your time.meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face.the internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it wont stop that happening eventually.一般认为网络在让人与人交流方面起到了非常重要的作用。而本文作者对此却持怀疑态度。他认为网络在加强人与人之间的关系方面并没有起到应有的作用。17what is stressed in the first paragraph?athe present situation of the internet.bthe difficulty in communication on the internet.cthe socially valuable function of the internet.dthe role of the human mind in the internet communication.答案：d。主旨大意题。由文章第一段特别是最后一句“no matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication，its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.”可知人类思维在网络交流中起到举足轻重的作用，故d项正确。18the underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “_”aappointment bconnectioncinterview dagreement答案：b。词义猜测题。句意为：问题是如果我们在一个人身上花很少时间，我们跟这个人的联系将会减弱到“他只是一个曾经认识的人”，因此划线单词意为“联系，交往”。19according to the passage, the author holds the view that_.athe internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promisedbthe internet determines the quality of social relationshipscthe internet greatly increases the size of social circlesdthe internet communication is no less effective than the facetoface talk答案：a。推理判断题。由文章的一些信息“this is not ，of course，to say that the internet doesnt serve a socially valuable function.以及the internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end，but it wont stop that happening eventually.”等可推知网络在人与人之间的交流上并没有起到应有的作用，故a项正确。20what is the authors attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?ahe is uncertain about it.bhe is hopeful of it.che approves of it.dhe doubts it.答案：d。态度观点题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了网络在人与人之间的交流方面并没有起到应有的作用，因此作者对网络在加强人与人之间关系方面持的是怀疑的态度，d项正确。2016高考英语训练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。my oldest child, emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college. these days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: what is she going to do after graduation?the job market is, after all, awfully tough. just this month the federal reserve bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” the bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored(主修) in stem science, technology, engineering and mathematics areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”. but emma is a student of the humanities(人文) at a small college. shes an american studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. for quite a while, i think her field of study is so fashionable right now that im not the least bit worried she will find a good job. yet the more ive thought about it, the more ive decided to be honest. “im not sure what emma is going to do,” i now say. “but shes gotten a great education and has really found her interest. and i know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.”nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. in this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. but a college is not a vocational(职业) school. and promoting stem subjects should not be societys only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world.from the beginning, we never urged emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. to emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: emmas contribution to the world and how happy she is in it.5. the authors friends and family_.a. are worried about emmas safetyb. have been worrying about the floodc. are concerned about emmas futured. are worried about the job market 6. what can we learn from paragraph 2?a. the number of the graduates is increasing.b. stem graduates can be better employees.c. stem graduates are in relatively greater demand.d. more and more graduates like to do a part-time job.7. why did emma choose a major in the humanities?a. because she is interested in it.b. because her mother told her to.c. because it is increasingly popular.d. because she wants further education.8. according to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that_. a. it should be among the stem b. it should be fashionable and interestingc. it should allow a good job and a high salaryd. it should bring achievements and happiness参考答案5-8 ccad 【2014高考训练】 going to college and living away from home for the first
