Ms Profit,

Our brains work in complex and strange ways．There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two．Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write．

Dr．J．Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887．He called these people idiot savants．An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment （损伤） , such as in autism ( 孤独症，自闭症) or retardation．At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people．The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory．

One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr．Benjamin Rush, an American doctor．His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in1724．It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds．Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write．

Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s．Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5 ,000 musical pieces beautifully．

In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly．

Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment．Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills．Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills．However few people wish to participate in such experiments．There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one's brain．The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate．Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots．

72．What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities．

B．Human Beings have complicated thinking process．

C．The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired．

D．The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary．

73．Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?

A．He can play wonderful pieces of classical music．

B．He can guess out exactly the length of a man's life．

C．He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast．

D．He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly．

64．What can you infer from the passage?

A．Idiot savants have real talents for art and math．

B．Dr．Down is the first person who found idiot savants．

C．Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations．

D．Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants．

75．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

（山西省太原五中2010届高三下学期五月月考B篇）

At present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.

Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money—the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.

Unruly students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.

As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.

Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled.

Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.

60．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refers to “ ”.

A．money B．job C．secretary D．truck driver

61．What is the present situation of the teaching?

A．Teachers work harder and get underpaid.

B．Teachers have no opportunities to work in other fields.

C．Teaching can attract best students to work as a teacher.

D．Teaching can provide rewards as well as high salaries.

62．Many public school teachers turn to other professions because .

A．the government doesn’t financially support them

B．they have to work longer hours than a lawyer

C．their students refuse to listen to them

D．they are not fairly treated

63．The author believes that change in teachers’ status in the United States .

A．is not great B．is impossible

C．influences people’s attitude D．needs time
