14、r each of them there are 4 choices marked a, b, c and d.choose the best one and mark your answer on the answer sheet with a singleline through the center.passage oneare some people born clever and others born stupid? or is intelligence developed by ourenvironment and our experience? strangely enough

15、, the answer to these questions is yes. to someextent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a geniusout of a child born with intelligence. on the other hand, a child who lives in a boringenvironment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in

16、 rich and varied surroundings.thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reached those limitswill depend on his environment. this view, now held by most experts, can be supported in anumber of ways.it is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something

17、we are born with. the closerthe blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. thus ifwe take two unrelated people at random from the population it is likely that their degree ofintelligence will be completely different. if, on the other hand, we take two id

18、entical twins, theywill very likely be as intelligent as each other. relations like brothers and sisters, parents andchildren, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends onbirth.imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environ

19、ments. wemight 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 aswell as birth plays a part. this conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in

20、close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree ofintelligence.16. the writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him _.a. at birthb. through educationc. both at birth and through educationd. more at birth than through education

21、17. if a child is born with low intelligence he can _.a. never become a geniusb. still become a genius if he should be given special educationc. exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsd. not exceed his intelligence limits even in rich surroundings18. in the second paragraph “if we take t

22、wo unrelated people at random from the population- ”means if we _.a. pick any two personsb. take out two different personsc. choose two persons who are relatived. choose two persons with different intelligence19. the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _.a. t

23、he importance of their intelligenceb. the role of environment on intelligencec. the importance of their positiond. the part that birth places20. the best title of this passage can be _.a. surroundingsb. intelligencec. dependence on environmentd. effect of educationpassage twobefore the grass has thi

24、ckened on the roadside verges and leaves have started growing on thetrees it is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty britain has become. the pavementsare stained with chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full of discarded fast foodcartons. years ago i remember trave

25、lling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, discardedbottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. nowadays, britain seems to look at least asbad. what has gone wrong?the problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longerthan before. if it is not

26、 cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth for years;a semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now.firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. these willtake anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. however, it is n

27、ot as if there is no solution to this. afew years ago, the irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in threemonths reduced their use by 90%. when he was a minister, michael meacher attempted tointroduce a similar arrangement in britain. the plastics industry protested, of

28、 course. however,they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarketsfree to give away plastic bags. what is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined effort, both individual andcollective, before it is too late. the alternative is to continue

29、 sliding downhill until we have acountry that looks like a vast municipal rubbish tip. we may well be at the tipping point. yet weknow that people respond to their environment. if things around them are clean and tidy, peoplebehave cleanly and tidily. if they are surrounded by squalor, they behave s

34、e threethe men who planned and constructed the first american railroads were men of great vision.they predicted that their “iron horses” would open vast expanses of land to farming and industry.they knew that towns would spring up along the new railroads. yet few of these pioneers couldhave guessed

35、that american railroads would establish the system of time used throughout most ofthe world today.until the 1880s, all time in the united states was sun time. farmers set their clocks to noonwhen the sun appeared to be overhead. in towns, people set their clocks by a courthouse clock or factory whis

36、tles. one towns time was often different from the time in a neighboring town.as the new railroads expanded, large numbers of people began to travel. but the railroadswere unable to print accurate timetables when most towns along their tracks have their clocks setdifferently. there was need for a cha

37、nge, and the railroads led in planning it.in 1883, railroads in the united states and canada adopted standard time, a system whichdivided the continent into four time zones. within each zone, all railroad clocks were set to anidentical time. when it was noon in the eastern zone, it was nine oclock i

38、n the pacific zone.railroad time signals were sent out by the newly-invented telegraph.standard time quickly spread. traveling businessmen set their watches to correspond to therailroad clocks. factories and schools followed the railroad s lead. soon, nearly everyone in theunited states and canada w

43、tb. difficultc. similard. understandablepassage four until recently, women in advertisements were one of three things an apron, a glamorousdress or a frown. although that is now changing, many women still feel angry enough to defaceoffending advertisements with stickers protesting. “this ad degrades

44、 women.” why does this sortof advertising exist? how can advertisers and ad agencies produce, sometimes, after months ofresearch, advertisements that offend the consumer?the advertising standards authority (the body which deals with complaint about print media)is carrying out research into how women

45、 feel about the way they are portrayed in advertisements.its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows; although women areoften irritated by the way they are seen in ads, few feel strongly enough to complain.women are not only the victims of poor and boring stereotypes

46、 in many tv commercialsmen are seen neither as useless, childish oafs who are unable to perform the simplest householdtasks, or as in considerate boors, permanently on the lookout for an escape to the pub.but it iswomen who seem to bear the impact of the industrys apparent inability to put people in

47、to anauthentic present-day context.yet according to emma bennett, executive creative director of a london advertising agency,women are not infuriated by stereotypes and sexist advertising. it tends to wash over them. theyare not militant or angry they just find it annoying or tiresome. they reluctan

48、tly accept outdatedstereotypes, but heave a sigh of relief when an advertisement really gets it right.she says that it is not advertisings use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the wayin which its handled. “researchers have often asked the wrong questions. the most importantthing is the

49、advertisements tone of voice. women hate being patronized, flattered or givendesperately down-to-earth commonsense advice.”in the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, theadvertising agency and the consumer. advertising does not set trends but it reflect

50、s them. it is upto the consumers to tell advertisers where they fail, and until people on the receiving end take thebusiness seriously and make their feelings known, the process of change will remain laboriouslyslow.31. despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to _.a. chan
