10.What makes one person more intelligent than another?What makes one person a genius,like the brilliant Albert Einstein,and another person a fool?Are people born intelligent or stupid,or is intelligence the result of where and how you live?These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know,however,that just being born with a good mind is not enough.In some ways,the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise.Mental exercise is particularly important for young children.Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.If,on the other hand,children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do,they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children.According to some psychologists,if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot,then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children,such as"That was a very clever thing you did."or"You are such a smart child."
53.The words"intelligent"and"brilliant"in the first paragraph probably meanA while"dull"in the second paragraph meansA.
A.bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding
B.pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C.great and important; common
D.hopeful and helpful; careless
54.According to the context we can guess that a genius isC while an idiot isC.
A.a normal person; a funny person
B.a strong person; a weak person
C.a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person
D.a famous person; an ordinary person
55.A personD is more likely to become a genius.
A.whose parents are clever
B.often thinking about difficult problems
C.often helped by his parents and teachers

B.to be hard on their children
C.to leave their children alone with nothing to do

A.Parents play an important part in their children's growth.
B.The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
C.Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
D.What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.

分析 本文主要讲述了作者建议父母们多用积极的话语夸奖和鼓励孩子.

解答 53.A推断题.由第一段第二句"What makes one person a genius,like the brilliant Albert Einstein,and another person a fool?"可知文章用 brilliant 形容爱因斯坦,且 brilliant 与 fool 意义相反,由此推知 brilliant 意为"聪明的".由第二段最后两句"The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.If,on the other hand,children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do,they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent."可知 dull 与 intelligent 意义相反,因此意为"反应迟钝的,愚笨的",故正确答案为A.
54.C细节题.由第一段第一句"What makes one person a genius,like the brilliant Albert Einstein,and another person a fool?"可知 brilliant 用来形容 genius,由最后一段第二句"if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot,then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things."可知 foolish 用来形容 idiot,故正确答案为C.
55.D细节题.由第二段第一句"We know,however,that just being born with a good mind is not enough."和第四句"Mental(done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children."可知成为天才需要先天和后天培养两个方面的结合,故正确答案为D.
56 A细节题.由文章最后一句"So it is probably better for parents to say very positive(helpful) things to their children,such as'That was a very clever thing you did.'or'You are such a smart child.'"可知,作者建议父母们多用积极的话语夸奖和鼓励孩子,故正确答案为A.
57.C细节题.由最后一段第一句"Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children."可知父母的话对孩子有巨大影响,因此排除A项;由第二段第二、三句"In some ways,the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise."可知大脑也需要锻炼,即用得越少越不灵活,排除B项;由第一段最后一句"These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear."可排除D项;文中没有提及智力与居住地的关系,故正确答案为C.

19.Shoppers on Black Friday,the traditional start of the holiday shopping season in America are notoriously aggressive.Some even start queuing outside stores before dawn to be the first to lay their hands on heavily discounted goods.Last year destructive bargain-hunters in the suburbs of New York City trampled a Walmart employee to death.Despite the madness at many stores,however,the global economic recession appears to have accelerated the pace at which shoppers are abandoning physical stores in favor of retailers(零售商) on the cyberspace such as Amazon and eBay.
E-commerce holds particular appeal in poor times as it enables people to compare prices across retailers quickly and easily.Buyers can sometimes avoid local sales taxes online,and shipping is often free.No wonder,then,that online shopping continues to grow even as the offline sort declines.The shift in spending to the Internet is good news for companies like P&G that lack retail shops of their own.But it is a big concern for physical retailers,whose prices are often higher than those of e-retailers,since they must bear the extra expense of running stores.The most obvious response to the trend  for traditional retailers is to redouble their own efforts in the virtual space.
The concept of"multi-channel"shopping,where people can purchase the same items from the same retailer in several different ways online,via their mobile phones and in shops--is gaining ground,and retailers are trying to motivate users of one channel to try another.Growing online traffic may actually increase sales in stores too.Retailers are also trying to make online shopping seem fun and exciting to act against the low economy.One common tactic is to set up"pop--up"stores,which appear for a short time before disappearing again,to develop a sense of novelty and urgency.

33.What does the underlined word"trend"most probably refer to?A
A.The change of purchasing model of the customers
B.Buyers started comparing prices when making a purchase
C.Physical retailers'running cost is becoming unaffordable
D.Retailers can't keep up with the development of the Internet
34.What's the retailer's purpose of setting up"pop--up"stores?B
A.To cut down the operating cost
B.To increase their online sales
C.To make shopping easy and fast
D.To avoid local sales taxes
35.What is the writer's main purpose of writing the passage?C
A.To convince buyers to abandon aggressive shopping habits.
B.To encourage physical stores to compete with online stores.
C.To describe a form of business that is on the rise.
D.To explain the influence of Internet on people's life.
