  There are two factors (因素) which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ greatly, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individualthe sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped (妨碍,阻碍) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never reach the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

  The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated (证实) by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes (寄养). Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in a community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was raised in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Peter's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at about the same level.

1.The main idea of this passage is that ________.

[  ]

A.one human brain is quite different from another

B.the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence

C.environment is important in determining a person's intelligence

D.persons having identical brains will have about the same intelligence

2.According to the passage, Mark's I.Q. is ________ lower than the average.

[  ]

A.85
B.100
C.15
D.40

3.This passage suggests that an individual's I.Q. ________.

[  ]

A.can be foretold at birth

B.stays the same throughout his life

C.can be increased by education

D.is determined by his childhood

  There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence(个人的智力). The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Hunan brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual——the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped (妨碍) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

  Demonstrated by the case history of the identical(完全相同的) twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separated foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was reared to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environment difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Peter's I. Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.

(1)This selection can best be titled ________.

[  ]

D.persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence

(3)The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that ________.

[  ]

A.individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same level

B.an individual's intelligences is determined only by his environment

C.lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence

D.changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain

[  ]

A.can be predicated at birth

B.stays the same throughout his life

C.can he increased by education

D.is determined by his childhood

“As sure as you're alive now, Peter Rabbit, some day I will catch you,” shouted Reddy Fox, as he put his black nose in the hole between the roots of the Big Hickory-tree which grows close to the Smiling Pool. “It is lucky for you that you were not one jump farther away from this hole.”

Peter, safe inside that hole, didn't have a word to say, or, if he did, he didn't have breath enough to say it. It was quite true that if he had been one jump farther from that hole, Reddy Fox would have caught him. As it was, the hairs on Peter's funny white tail actually had tickled Reddy's back as Peter ran wildly through the root-bound entrance to that hole. It had been the narrowest escape Peter had had for a long, long time. You see, Reddy Fox had surprised Peter eating sweet clover(苜蓿)on the bank of the Smiling Pond, and it had been a lucky thing for Peter that hole, dug long ago by Johnny Chuck's grandfather, had been right where it was. Also, it was a lucky thing that old Mr. Chuck had been wise enough to make the entrance between the roots of that tree in such a way that it could not be dug any larger.

Reddy Fox was too shrewd(机灵的)to waste any time trying to dig it larger. He knew there wasn't room enough for him to get between those roots. So, after trying to make Peter as uncomfortable as possible by telling him what he, Reddy, would do to him when he did catch him, Reddy walked across the Green Meadows. Peter remained where he was for a long time. When he was quite sure that it was safe to do so, he crawled out and hurried to the Old Orchard. He felt that that would be the safest place for him, because there were ever so many hiding places in the old stone wall along the edge of it.

1. Where is Peter Rabbit hiding?

A.On the bank of a pond

B.In a hole

C.In a tall tree

D.Behind a room

2.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the story?

A.Reddy Fox might find rabbit hairs on him.

B.Old Mr. Chuck took advantage of the roots to dig the hole.

C.The hole could be made larger.

D.Reddy almost caught Peter this time.

3. Why did Peter Rabbit wait so long before leaving?

A.Because Reddy was trying to get him.

B.Because it was cold outside.

C.Because his grandfather would help him dig a large hole.

D.Because the Old Orchard was not so safe as this hole.
