D.He often didnt answer them at once.55.The text is meant to_.A.tell how to be a good teacherB.give some tips on English learningC.show thanks to the authors teacherD.tell about a teacher the author once hadCAre some people born clever,and others born stupid?Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience?Strangely enough,the answer to these questions is yes.To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth,and no 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 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 intelligent.Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from 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 to 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 degree of intelligence.56.The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him_.A.at birth B.through educationC.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.reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD.not improve his intelligence in his life58.In the second paragraph,the underlined sentence means “if we_.”A.pick any two persons B.take out two different personsC.choose two persons who are relative D.choose two persons with different intelligence59.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_.A.the importance of their intelligence B.the role of environment on intelligenceC.the importance of their positions D.the part that birth plays60.The best title of the passage can be_.A.SurroundingsB.IntelligenceC.Dependence on Environment D.Effect of Education第卷（共45分）第四部分 写作（共三节，满分45分）第一节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分）61.It is annoying that Toms parents always c Tom with his other classmates.62.It is not a good method to （批评）your students whenever they make a mistake in their oral English.63.What the teacher said to him had a deep e on his later behaviour.64.It is a （传统的）way eating dumplings to spend our Spring Festival.65.The girls nice p have gamed her good relationship with her partners.66.Youd better not （打扰）the sleeping old professor.67.Her gentle sweet song makes the audience r .68.The small house looks more beautiful with the （背景）of blue sky and white cloud.69.It is said that many official leaders are i in the case of economic crime.70.The little baby （假装）to be sleeping when its parents woke him up.第二节 阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）The 82-year-old Frances Wood entered the Nazarene University two years ago.At that time,her husband of 59 years died,which left her a little lonely and sad.As a result,she started to study at university.Ms Wood said that she was the oldest student on campus,and was known as Granny Franny.The lady is just like a grandma away from home.The students wanted to vote Ms Wood as the homecoming queen,but the granny refused to accept the honor.So instead,the school honored her during half time at a football game by making her become the homecoming granny queen,the first award of its kindness ever given by the school.Ms Wood got a standing ovation（鼓掌）and was presented with flowers.To prove her popularity further,she had three male youths holding on her arm for the evening ceremony.Ms Wood took classes in finance,history and literature at university.She said after being widowed two years before,she needed something different to do.When she got to college,she said it was a little surreal being surrounded by the young ones.I think this is unbelievable and dreamlike to do this,she said.Eager to get into her little classmate circle,she handed out homemade business cards with her phone number and e-mail address,so that the students could reach out to her.The cards also featured a photo of her,saying about 10 years ago.71.What subjects did Ms Wood take up at university?
