5.The most common use of intelligence test scores is to predict degree of academic success.Such scores are used in some communities as bases for admitting able children to schools at ages younger than normal,and they are very generally used to determine admissions to schools beyond public secondary school.Another use common in elementary schools involves comparing such scores with performances in various subjects to identify children who are working below capacity.The greatest problem in using intelligence tests for the purpose of prediction is that no dependable criterion of their accuracy exists.The ideal criteria would be objective and reliable achievement tests following instructions in each subject,but there are few such tests,especially at the college level.Studies have shown that correlations(相关性)between intelligence tests and achievement tests in various subjects through secondary school range roughly from 0.5to 0.8.Such correlations are fairly high,but they do not suggest anywhere near complete agreement.
At the college level there are two major tests used as criteria of admission.By far the more important is the College Entrance Examination,constructed by the Educational Testing Service authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board.These tests arc returned to the Educational Testing Service for scoring,and the results are then made available to the various colleges authorized by the students to receive them.The second test of this type is the American College Test,which operates in essentially the same fashion.
Both tests constitute(组成)measures of certain skills,abilities,and knowledge that have been found to be related to success in college.Their correlations with academic success are limited for three outstanding reasons.First,measures of achievement in college arc themselves perhaps no more reliable than those in elementary and secondary schools.Second,intellectual factors do not alone determine academic success,especially at the college level.Many students drop out of schools because they are inadequately motivated or because they dislike the instructional programme.Third,correlations are lowered because the use of such tests for denying admission to some students means that the range of scores for those admitted is restricted,and such restrictions tend to reduce correlations.

分析 本文主要讲述智力测试的用途,问题,以及在大学中的应用.
解答 71.uses 第一段主要讲述了智力测试所得分数的用途,故应是uses.
72.advance 由第一段第一句中"to predict degree of academic success"可知,智力测试所得分数的最常使用用途是预测学术成功的程度,故这里应是advance.in advance是固定短语,意思是"提前".
73.ability 由第二段The ideal criteria would be objective and reliable achievement tests following instructions in each subject,可知,智力测试所得分数能够证明那些比正常年龄小的孩子有能力去上学,故这里应是ability.
74.less 由第一段最后一句中"to identify children who are working below capacity"的below,可知这里应是less.
75.Problems 由第二段The greatest problem in using intelligence tests for the purpose of prediction is that no dependable criterion of their accuracy exists.可知,本段主要讲智力测试所存在的问题,故应是problem.
76.hard 由第二段第二句中"but there are few such tests,especially at the college level"可知,在大学课程里,想找到客观而且可靠的成就测试是比较难的,故应是hard.
77.results 由第三段These tests arc returned to the Educational Testing Service for scoring,and the results are then made available to the various colleges authorized by the students to receive them.可知,学生的高考成绩将会被送到学生所选择的大学,故应是results.
78.follows 学术成功的关联性受到限制主要有三个原因,故应是follow.as follow是固定短语,意思是"如下".
79.unreliable 由第三段第三句中"no more reliable than those in elementary and secondary schools"可知,第一个原因是大学里所取得成就的衡量标准和小学初中一样不可靠,故应是unreliable.
80.apart 由第三段Second,intellectual factors do not alone determine academic success,especially at the college level.可知,学术成就除了受到智力的影响,还受到许多因素的制约,故应是apart.apart from是固定短语,意思是"除…之外".
