37、ures of different regions 35 Approaches to Understanding Intelligences It pays to be smart, but we are not all smart in the same way. You may be a talented musician, but you might not be a good reader. Each of us is different. Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or

38、 personal abilities. Psychologists have two different views on intelligence. Some believe there is one general intelligence. Others believe there are many different intelligences. Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured with IQ tests. These psychologists support

39、 their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests. They do well on tests using words, numbers, or pictures. They do well on individual or group tests, and written or oral tests. Those who do poorly on one test, do the same

40、on all tests. Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence. The brains of intelligent people use less energy during problem solving. The brain waves of people with higher intelligence show a quicker reaction. Some researchers conclude that differences in intell

41、igence result from differences in the speed and effectiveness of information processing by the brain. Howard Gardner, a psychologist at the Harvard School of Education, has four children. He believes that all children are different and shouldn t be tested by one intelligence test. Although Gardner b

42、elieves general intelligence exists, he doesn t think it tells much about the talents of a person outside of formal schooling. He thinks that the human mind has different intelligences. These intelligences allow us to solve the kinds of problems we are presented with in life. Each of us has differen

43、t abilities within these intelligences. Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences. Gardner says that his theory is based on biology. For example, when one part of the brain is injured, other parts of the brain still work. People who ca

44、nnot talk because of brain damage can still sing. So, there is not just one intelligence to lose. Gardner has identified 8 different kinds of intelligence: linguistic, mathematical, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, body-kinesthetic(身体动觉的 ), and naturalistic. 36 What is the main idea o

45、f this passage? （ A） The importance of intelligence. （ B） The development of intelligence tests. （ C） How to understand intelligence. （ D） How to become intelligent. 37 Which of the following statements is true concerning general intelligence? （ A） People doing well on one type of intelligence test

46、do well on other tests. （ B） Most intelligent people do well on some intelligence tests. （ C） Intelligent people do not do well on group tests. （ D） Intelligent people do better on written tests than on oral tests. 38 Gardner believes that_. （ A） all children are alike （ B） children should take one

47、intelligence test （ C） there is no general intelligence （ D） children have different intelligences 39 According to Gardner, schools should _. （ A） promote development of all intelligences （ B） test students IQs （ C） train students who do poorly on tests （ D） focus on finding the most intelligent stu

48、dents 40 Gardner thinks that his theory has a_ （ A） musical foundation （ B） biological foundation （ C） intrapersonal foundation （ D） linguistic foundation 40 Alaska In 1959 Americans welcomed Alaska into the Union as the 49th state, symbolizing a change of attitude from that held in 1867, when the p

49、eninsula(半岛 )was purchased from Russia. Then, most Americans had little interest in 1 , 500, 000 square kilometers “ of icebergs and polar bears“ beyond Canada s western borders, far from the settled areas of the United States. In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle, Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bears. Ice masses lie buried in the earth.
