题目内容
20．A 12-year-old girl who had a slight feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right．Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of l62 on Mensa's Cattell III B paper，suggesting she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking．
The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student，who's currently in Year 8 at Colchester County high school，a selective girl's grammar school in Essex，England．
"I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking．They've achieved so much．I don't think it's right．"Lydia told CNN．
Lydia sat the test in her summer holidays，after raising the idea with her parents who were in favor of it after some time．
It turns out the test wasn't that hard after all．
"I was really nervous before the test and I thought it was going to be really hard．But as I started the test，I thought it was a bit easier than l thought it was going to be，"she said．
Lydia's not quite sure what she wants to do when she goes to university，though she's leaning toward something"based around math，because it's one of my favorite subjects．"
"All I'm going to do is work as hard as I can，and see where that gets me，"she said．
To put Lydia's mark in perspective，the top adult score in the Cattell III B test，which primarily tests verbal reasoning，is 161．A top 2% score-which allows entry to Mensa，the club for those with high IQs-would be 148 or over．Lydia scored 162，placing her in the top l% of the population．
24．What can we know about Lydia from the passage？B
A．She is a middle school student．
B．She is the cleverest student．
C．She thinks she is cleverer than Einstein．
D．She had thought the test was very easy．
25．According to the passage，who supported her taking the test？D
A．Her teachers．B．Her classmates．
C．Her friends．D．Her parents．
26．If you want to enter Mensa，you have toD．
A．be as clever as Lydia in the test
B．be able to attend a famous university
C．have a great interest in math
D．get at least 148 in the IQ test
27．After Lydia graduates from high school，she willA．
A．major in math probably B．enter a club
C．never be nervous D．achieve a lot．
分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一个很聪明的学生丽迪雅12岁就在父母的鼓励下考上大学．
