Task 1 Directions: After reading the follow

15、ing passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 28 Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environme

16、nt 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 amount of special 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 de

17、velop 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

18、show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they ate likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be comp

19、letely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely 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

20、 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 c

21、onclusion 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. 28 The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him _. （ A） at birth （ B） through education （ C） b

22、oth at birth and through education （ D） neither at birth nor through education 29 If a child is born with low intelligence, he can _. （ A） become a genius （ B） still become a genius if he should be given special education （ C） exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundings （ D） not reach his in

23、telligence in his life 30 In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population“ means if we _. （ A） pick any two persons （ B） take out two different persons （ C） choose two persons who are relative （ D） choose two persona with different intelligence 31 The example o

24、f the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _. （ A） the importance of their intelligence （ B） the role of environment on intelligence （ C） the importance of their positions （ D） the part that birth plays 32 The best title of this passage can be _. （ A） Surroundings （ B） Intel

25、ligence （ C） Dependence on Environment （ D） Effect of Education Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.
