forests for thousands of kilometers These great forests are the oceans of trees There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals However the world s forests are getting

another person a fool Are people born intelligent or stupid or is intelligence the result of where and how you live These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear We know however that just being born with a good mind is not enough In some ways the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle It needs exercise Mental exercise is particularly important for young children Many child psychologists 心理学家 think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent If on the other hand children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children According to some psychologists if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children such as That was a very clever thing you did or You are such a smart child 1 The word intelligent in the 1st paragraph probably mean bright A T B F 答案 A 2 According to the context we can guess that a genius is a normal person while an idiot is a funny person A T B F 答案 B 3 A person born with a good brain and putting it into active use is more likely to become a genius A T B F 答案 A 4 It is better for parents to praise and encourage their children more often A T B F 答案 A 5 Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live A T B F 答案 B 参考译文 参考译文 是什么使一个人比另一人更聪明 是什么造就了一个人成为天才 像伟大的阿尔伯 特 爱因斯坦一样 而另一个人成为傻瓜 聪明或愚笨是生来就有的吗 还是说智力是你住 在哪里和如何生活的结果 这些问题都很古老 然而仍然没有清楚回答这些问题的答案 然而 我们知道仅仅出生时智力好是不够的 从某些方面来说 智力像一条腿或一只 臂膀的肌肉一样 它需要训练 智力训练对幼童尤其重要 许多儿童心理学家认为父母应 该经常同他们的孩子们一起玩耍 并给他们一些问题去思考 这样孩子才更可能成长得聪 明伶俐 相反 如果常常让孩子们自己呆着什么也不做 他们更可能变得愚笨和缺乏才智 父母亲也要小心他们对幼童说的话 根据一些心理学家所说 如果父母亲总是告诉一 个孩子 他或她是一个傻瓜或白痴 那么这个孩子更可能一直做愚蠢的事情 所以父母亲 对他们的孩子说一些很肯定的话大概更好 例如 你做了一件很聪明的事 或 你是 多么伶俐的孩子 1 intelligent 一词在第一段中的大概意思是聪明的 A 正确 B 错误 答案 A 2 根据文章的上下文 我们可以猜测天才是正常人而白痴是滑稽人 A 正确 B 错误 答案 B 3 一个生来智力好 并且积极使用大脑的人才更可能成为一个天才 A 正确 B 错误 答案 A 4 父母亲要频繁表扬和鼓励他们的孩子会更好 A 正确 B 错误 答案 A 5 很明显智力是你住在哪里和怎样生活的结果 A 正确 B 错误 答案 B 45 A man got into a train and found himself sitting opposite a woman who seemed to be about thirty five years old Soon they
