【题目】Read the passage and answer the questions.

Do you think you are more intelligent than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher --- on average, three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the “Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it. IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity (遗传). So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores?

Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. Babies now are born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.

Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test; they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of shapes, and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.

According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.

Questions

1Does Flynn think you are smarter than your parents and grandparents?

2What do IQ tests focus on, general intelligence or knowledge?

3How do educational styles help people do better in the test according to some scientists?

4Which sections did the test takers do better in the test on?

5Why does the writer mention computer games?

6Do you agree with Flynn?Why or why not?

【题目】Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

Being an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it? In space, they can do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity (重力).

However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show – because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity.

Of course, astronauts can still have tears. But crying is much more difficult in space. Without gravity, tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do on the earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go – they just stick to your eyes.

In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don't fall off your eyes. They just stay there." Besides making your vision (视力) unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on the earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the same in space. The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is painful like crazy." Feustel told his teammate during the walk.

Since gravity doesn't work in space astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears.

Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet (头盔) to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait -- "When the tears get big enough, they simply break free of the eye and float around, astronaut Ron Parise said.

There are lots of small things - things like crying that we are so used to on the earth. We usually take them for granted (认为理所当然), until they become a problem in a completely different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They can't eat or drink in normal ways; They can't even burp (打嗝) because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomachs. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up (呕吐) everything in their stomachs, according to the UK National Space Center.

Thus perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity, you're the best."

【题目】 What do you do in a situation like this? You're eating dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You're having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you.

【题目】Answer the question (根据短文内容回答下列问题):

Do you want to try the world’s fastest train? Why not ride on board the Beijing-Tianjin bullet (子弹) train? You will have a very different train-riding experience.

A few days ago, I was eager to have a taste. I set out from Beijing South Railway Station and arrived in Tianjin for an international meeting there. The railway shows China can build a train with world-class technology and It should be safe and convenient.

The inter-city passenger train first ran between Beijing and Tianjin on August1st,2008. Its highest speed is 350km an hour. That is even faster than the high-speed train in Japan. Japanese trains run at 320km an hour, while those in France and Germany run at 300km an hour. The new rail line cuts the 120km journey between these two northern cities from about 70 minutes to 28 minutes. A first class ticket costs 69 yuan and second class 58 yuan.

But its speed is not the only amazing thing about the new train. The moment you get on, it seems like you’re boarding an airplane. The stewardesses (女乘务员) are in uniforms similar to those on a plane. There is much more space inside the new train than on older ones. The seats for first class passengers can swivel. In other words, you can turn around in your seat and talk with friends if they are sitting behind you.

So far the Beijing-Tianjin bullet train is known for its great service. There are train cars especially for families and even free food. Some of its train have a WiFi Internet service. This means passengers can read e-mails and the news, book restaurants seats, play games, follows their trips on a map and watch news programs.
