23、paragraph2

标准答案：C

知识点解析：在段落中第三句发现了“influenceofenvironmentbothonachievement

andintelli-gcnce",该含义与C的内容-一致(环境对智力的影响)，而且在段落的后面

部分发现了用“穷孩子和富人家的孩子进行比较''的例子，因此肯定C是答案。

24、paragraph4

标准答案：A

findingshavee-mergedfromtheseresearches"，mainresults只是majorfindings的另

一种说法，故A项正确。

知识点解析：本段的第一句话就说清楚了：研究结果导致我们对智力本质看法的改

变。

26、paragraph6

标准答案：E

hastodowithachild'slivingenvironment

27、Itwasoncebelieved,andthuswecantellhowsuccessfulhe/shewillbein

thefutureaccordingtohis/herintelligence.

可以根据他/她的智力水平判断他/她在将来是否会取得成功。”

28、Morerecentresearcheshasshownthatintelligenceisonlypartlyinherited.

因此判断F是答案。该句大意是“最近的研究已经表明智力一部分是来自遗传，

部分是与孩子的生活环境有关。”

29、Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethatachildwillifhehasmore

opportunitiestocommunicatewithothersbymeansoflanguage.

能性就更大。”

30、Childrenwerenotjust,buttheycanbetaughttobemoreintelligentat

school.

A、anincreaseinbirthrates

B、theindustrialdevelopment

liveonsocialsecuritycheckswhicharesolittlethattheymustliveinnearpoverty."（在

美国，许多退休人员依靠社会保障金生活，其数额之小差不多使人穷困'潦倒。）可

以看出，在美国许多退休人员的生活是很艰难的。这正是选项A表达的意思，因

B、theneedtoenrichthelifeoftheretiredpeople

由于家庭中大多数人都出去工作或上学，家里常常没有人来照顾有病或虚弱的

知识点解析：本题的答题依据在文章的第一段里就可以找到。根据民意测验的结

果，有半人认为找个人成个家越来越难。但没有说是男人找老婆难，还是女人找

老公难，而是把男女都包括在内的。

对购房和抚养孩子的压力，需要有一个稳定的U&入和职业“Thecostofhousingand

child-rearingcreatespressurelohaveastableincomeandcareerbeforealife

pannership.”所以goodlooks,salary,career都提到了，只有幽默感没有提到。
