11.Are some people born clever,and others born stupid?Or is intelligence developed by our environment and experience?Strangely enough,the answer to these questions is yes.To some extent,person's intelligence is 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 show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with.The closer the blood relationship between two people,the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随意地) from the population,it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely 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 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 should soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part.This conclusion 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.

分析 本文为科教类说明文,文章作者提出观点"在一定程度上,一个人的智力在出生时已经确定,但是能否达到最高值取决于环境",然后通过血缘关系相近和没有血缘关系的人的智力比较证明智力是在人出生时就已经确定;最后作者通过双胞胎在不同的环境中智力发展的差异说明后天环境对教育的影响.
解答 68.答案是C.细节理解题;由第一段中"To some extent,person's intelligence is fixed at birth,whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.(在一定程度上,一个人的智力在出生时已经确定,但是能否达到最高值取决于环境)"推断作者认为一个人的智力是先天和后天教育共同的结果,故选C.
69.答案是C.推断题;由第一段中"To some extent,person's intelligence is fixed at birth,whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.(在一定程度上,一个人的智力在出生时已经确定,但是能否达到最高值取决于环境)"推断,即使天生智力不高,但是后天环境优越能使他达到自己智力的极限,故选C.
70.答案是B.细节理解题;由第三段中"We should soon find differences in intelligence developing(我们很快就会发现智力发展上的差别)"判断这个例子是为了证明后天的教育或环境对智力的影响,故选B.
71.答案是B.主旨大意题.文章第一段首先提出论点"在一定程度上,一个人的智力在出生时已经确定,但是能否达到最高值取决于环境",然后第二段和第三段分别从先天决定和环境影响两个方面进行分析;可见文章围绕"智力"分析,故选B.
点评 本文介绍了影响智力的两个因素,并分别对两种因素进行阐述;在理解时抓住每一段的要点可以有助于整体理解文章.文章对于细节题考查较为集中,在做细节题时根据题干定位细节,在语境中正确理解原句,然后对照选项做出合理的判断.如果是主旨大意的判断要把握文章整体,避免以偏概全.

A few weeks later,when I was running on the same street on a bright sunny day,I (41)C the same man in the same clothes sitting down resting.The only (42)Dwas my umbrella right beside him,looking like he (43)Ait.It was very clean and neatly placed.At that moment,I realized it didn't (44)D that I couldn't give him a house or a job.I only did what I was able to and it made a whole lot of (45)Bseem to go away.
