Or is intelligence developed by our environment and 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 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, 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 extent 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(随意地) from the 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 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 should 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 degree of intelligence.56 The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him _.A. at birth B. through education C. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth nor through education57. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can _.A. become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be given special educationC. go beyond his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. never reach his intelligence limits in his life58. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _.A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays59 The best title of this passage can be _.A. Surroundings B. IntelligenceC. Dependence on Environment D. Effect of Education China called its second manned space flight a perfect success that will improve national unity after the spacecraft and two astronauts aboard returned safely to Earth. The Shenzhou 6 spacecraft spent five days in orbit while astronauts performed tests which China says will improve its future space exploration efforts. A celebration of national pride swept the country as the Shenzhou 6 spacecraft touched down safely early Monday in Inner Mongolia Province. Speaking hours after the landing, the director of the Manned Space Engineering Office, Tang Xianming, said the success demonstrates China is among the best in the world in science and technology. “We believe this great achievement will inspire greater patriotic passion(爱国热情), national pride and unity, stimulate（激发）our enthusiasm for scientific exploration and creation, advance a giant leap in science for our country, improve Chinas overall national strength, and achieve the prosperity of the whole Chinese nation,” said Tang Xianming. He said China hopes to train female astronauts in the future and to build a space station, but the next step is a space walk by 2007. State media quoted Chinas top legislator, Wu Bangguo, as saying the missions success would improve Chinas international status and national strength and help to mobilize(调动) people around the Communist Party. Officials say the mission also will boost Chinas commercial satellite launching business as confidence in its rockets increases. Chinas second manned space launch comes two years after it first sent a man into orbit, joining the former Soviet Union and the United States as the only countries to have sent people into space. Both did so more than 40 years ago. 60. Which of the following is TRUE about the Shenzhou 6 spacecraft?A. It landed safely in Mongolia.B. It is Chinas second successful launch of manned spacecraft.C. One of the astronauts is a female.D. The astronauts did a space walk.61.

China is _ country that has launched manned spacecraft.A. the only B. the first C. the second D. the third63. Where can you most probably find this passage?A. In a research paper. B. In a history book. C. In a newspaper. D. In a textbook. Remember when a trip to the supermarket was nothing more than a boring thing requiring little or no specialized knowledge? You could send your kids into a cart while you did shopping. You always bought the same brands, usually the brands your mother bought. You didnt know about unit pricing, and furthermore, you didnt care. It never occurred to you to read the labels on anything. After all, youd bought these things a hundred times. But now, I really look on those days with a feeling of yearn (怀旧). How innocent we were! How carefree were those trips to the supermarket. No worries. Today a trip to the supermarket is filled with social influence. Every time I buy pork chops I think about the years Im shaving from my life. I keep a careful eye on the freshness date and examine the tamper - proof packaging. I am a victim of that most dangerous social disease: shoppers panic. I didnt realize how serious my condition had become until the last time I needed laundry soap. It seemed simple enough. Just run into the market, grab a box of the old reliable and pay for it. I hadnt planned on discovering Ecover, a new brand of laundry soap. It sat quietly on the shelf right next to my old reliable. Healthy, gentle but effective. My respect for it deepened with each new claim as I read the entire package. Then I looked at the price: $ 5.69 for 2 pounds. $ 5.69 ! I cast a quick glance at the old reliable, still on sale for $ 1.39. Six bucks for laundry soap! These people must be crazy! Whos going to pay six bucks for laundry soap? Its not as though I cant afford it. See, its concentrateduse less, get more. BUT SIX BUCKS! And the box is made from recycled materials. . . . This act went on for a solid half hour, after which I left the shelf without any soap at all.Surely the meat department is most threatening place. Remember when protein was good for you? Thats all over. Every bite you take kills you. I wont even mention meats moral influence.When all is said and done, we still must eat. I gather up my healthy cooking oil and my recycled paper towels and head to the checkout counter.64.In the first paragraph, the author mainly wants to tell us that in the past_.A. it was convenient to go shopping in the supermarketB. shopping in the supermarket was very boringC. we never read the labels of commodities in the supermarketD. we used to buy the same brands of products in the supermarket65.Recalling the old days shopping in the supermarket, the author thinks it was_A. pleasant B. fresh C. dangerous D. crazy66.Eating pork chops will mean that _.A. you must have a shave after that B. you should think of the old daysC. you are killing yourself slowly D. you must go on diet after that67.In the supermarket, the author was attracted by a new brand of laundry soap for its _.A. price B. claims C. package D. shape68.Whats the authors problem?A. She is too poor to afford the new brands in the supermarket.B. She cannot not find the right laundry soap in the supermarket.C. She has to use the most healthy things because of her poor health.D. She is greatly affected by social influences.Last week, I bought an alarm system for about $ 450. It consisted of a control unit with three small units. I put the control unit in the sitting-room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 4, 9 and 1, the last three numbers of our telephone number. Now I must explain how the alarm works: There is a power siren(警报器) in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise. Each of the small units sends out beams or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal to the control unit. The siren makes a noise which you can hear 50 meters away. When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alar
