Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C

18、, and D. You should make the correct choice. 36 Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of s

19、pecial education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not

20、 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 ate likely to b

21、e in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random 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 s

22、isters, 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 wo

23、rk is boring. We would 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 d

24、egree of intelligence. 36 The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him _. （ A） at birth （ B） through education （ C） both at birth and through education （ D） neither at birth nor through education 37 If a child is born with low intelligence, he can _. （ A） become a genius

25、 （ B） still become a genius if he should be given special education （ C） exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundings （ D） not reach his intelligence in his life 38 In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population“ means if we _. （ A） pick any two persons

26、 （ B） take out two different persons （ C） choose two persons who are relative （ D） choose two persona with different intelligence 39 The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _. （ A） the importance of their intelligence （ B） the role of environment on intellige

27、nce （ C） the importance of their positions （ D） the part that birth plays 40 The best title of this passage can be _. （ A） Surroundings （ B） Intelligence （ C） Dependence on Environment （ D） Effect of Education Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statemen

28、ts are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Many American women are earning money outside their homes today. Among women who are eighteen to sixty-four years old, fifty percent have jobs. In general, working women have had more education than those who stay at home. Of those who work, thirty two percent have

29、attended college, compared with twenty percent of those who do not have jobs. Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and eight percent take a vacation away from home during the past year. Much of the traveling is by air.

30、vertisers. It offers a new picture of women today.
