1、自考英语(二)模拟试卷 21(无答案)一、阅读判断0 Dangers Await Babies with AltitudeWomen who live in the world s highest communities tend to give birth to underweight babies, a new study suggests. These babies may grow into adults with a high risk of heart disease and strokes. Research has hinted that newborns in mountai
2、n communities are lighter than average. But it wasn t clear whether this is due to reduced oxygen levels at high altitudes or because their mothers are under-nourishedmany people who live at high altitudes are relatively poor compared with those living lower down. To find out more, Dino Giussani and
3、 his team at Cambridge University studied the records of 400 births in Bolivia during 1997 and 1998. The babies were born in both rich and poor areas of two cities : La Paz and Santa Cruz. La Paz is the highest city in the world, at 3. 65 kilometers above sea level, while Santa Cruz is much lower, a
4、t 0. 44 kilometers. Sure enough, Giussani found that the average birthweight of babies in La Paz was significantly lower than in Santa Cruz. This was true in both high and low-income families. Even babies born to poor families in Santa Cruz were heavier on average than babies born to wealthy familie
5、s in lofty La Paz. “We were very surprised by this result, “ says Giussani. The results suggest that babies born at high altitudes are deprived of oxygen before birth. “This may trigger the release or suppression of hormones that regulate growth of the unborn child, “ says Giussani. His team also fo
6、und that high-altitude babies tended to have relatively 1 arger heads compared with their bodies. This is probably because a fetus starved of oxygen will send oxygenated blood to the brain in preference to the rest of the body. Giussani wants to find out if such babies have a higher risk of disease
7、in later life. People born in La Paz might be prone to heart trouble in adulthood, for example. Low birth weight is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. And newborns with a high ratio of head size to body weight are often predisposed to high blood pressure and strokes in later life.1 According

People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental l
13、evel of someone about 23 years old ; that gave her an IQ of 228the highest score ever recorded. IQ tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce numerical sequences, among other similar tasks. So it is a bit confusing when vo
14、s Savant fields such queries from the average Joe(whose IQ is 100)as, what s the difference between love and fondness ? Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence ? It s not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have
15、eluded some of the best poets and philosophers. Clearly, intelligence encompasses more than a score on a test. Just what does it means to be smart ? How much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we learn about it from neurology, genetics, computer science and other fields ?The defining
16、 term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be. The test comes primarily in two forms : the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales(both come in adult and childrens version). Generally cost
17、ing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists , although variations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web. Superhigh scores like vos Savant s are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers, rather
18、 than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 100. Other standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Assessment Test(SAT)and the Graduate Record Exam(GRE), capture the main aspects of IQ tests. Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necess
19、ary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article “How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing ? “ Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem so
20、lving and life success. Moreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions. IQ was negatively correlated with leade
21、rshipthat is, it predicted the opposite. Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.11 Which of the following may be required in an intelligence test ?(A)Answering philosophical questions.(B) Foldin
22、g or cutting paper into different shapes.(C) Telling the differences between certain concepts.(D)Choosing words or graphs similar to the given ones. 12 What can be inferred about intelligence testing from Paragraph 3 ?(A)People no longer use IQ scores as an indicator of intelligence.(B) More version
