17、 the brilliant Albert Einstein, and 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.

18、In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle(肌肉 ). It needs exercise. Mental(done with the mind)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 chi

19、ldren 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, i

20、f 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(helpful)things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did. ” or “You are su

21、ch a smart child. ” 36 What does the word “intelligent” (Line 1, Para. 1)mean? （ A） Great. （ B） Handsome. （ C） Clever. （ D） Busy. 37 According to the author, what is particularly important for young children? （ A） Born with a good mind. （ B） Body exercise. （ C） Mental exercise. （ D） Muscle. 38 A chi

Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 40 When animals make lo

25、ng journeys across places where there is no food or shelter, such as deserts or oceans, it is very important that they should be able to find their way accurately. Birds find their way by the stars at night and by the sun during the day. People thought that this was impossible. Then some scientists

26、made an experiment. They put some migrating birds(候鸟 )in cages inside a planetarium(天象图 ). When the operator turned the artificial sky(人造天空 )round, the birds began to fly to the sides of the cage. Every time he moved it, the birds moved to a new position. Scientists discovered that they always flew

27、toward the direction in which they would have flown if the sky had been real. This proved that they could see the stars and respond to them. Many animals, especially birds, have a very precise sense of time, which is called their “internal clock”. In cloudy weather, birds delay setting off on long j

28、ourneys, but if the cloud lasts for a long time, they must go at last, to complete their migration in time. In such conditions, they are able to steer(引导 )by following the magnetic field(磁场 )of the earth. We could say that they have their own special compass inside them, which tells the right direct

29、ion to go. Most migrating animals travel in groups, sometimes in very large numbers. This makes it more likely that they will find the right way, especially when the group has experienced animals which have made the journey before. 41 What was proved by the experiment mentioned in the passage? （ A）

30、Birds find their way by the stars at night and by the sun during the day. （ B） Birds can tell the differences between real sky and artificial sky. （ C） Birds can see the stars and would move when the stars change position. （ D） Birds always fly to the sides of the cage. 42 The phrase “internal clock

33、ey before. 45 What is the passage mainly about? （ A） How animals sense the time. （ B） How animals find their way in migration. （ C） Why animals like to travel in groups. （ D） How scientists find the secret of birds.
