or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. in some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no 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 environment. therefore, the limits(限度) of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. this point of view now is held by most experts.it is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. the closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. if we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. if, on the other hand, we compare two 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 twins and put them in different environments. we might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. we would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important part. this result 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. 62. how is mans intelligence given? a. at birth. b. through education.c. both at birth and through education. d. neither at birth nor through education.63. what can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory? a. the importance of their intelligence. b. the role of environment on intelligence. c. the importance of their jobs. d. the part that birth plays.64. what statement is true according to the passage? a. no education can help make a genius. b. personality is as important as intelligence which was given to people at birth. c. people who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives. d. environment influences people in intelligence developing.65. how does the writer make his idea clear? a. by giving explanation. b. by giving an example. c. by giving figures(数字). d. by giving suggestions.五、词汇运用（计10分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。（每空一词）66. his first film received high _ (赞扬)from the art community.67. id love to join you in the camping, but i _ (允诺) to go cycling with johnyesterday.68. she has a close _ (关系)with her twin sister.69. i closed my eyes and _ (想象) i was flying in the sky like a bird. 70. the whole world was surprised at many _ (成就) of china these years. 71. the （speak）made by paul always attract a large number of people.72. you can call me when you have trouble in making _ (decide).73. in the past punishment（惩罚）was decided by the university. the student had no _ but to accept it.
