Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our exper

23、iences? Strangely【 C1】_, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius【C2】_a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in boring environment will develop his intellige

24、nce less than the one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the【C3】_of a person s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his【C4 】_This view, not held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligen

25、ce is to some extent【C5】_we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people【C6 】_, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take tw

26、o identical twins they will likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have【C7】_intelligence and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.【C8 】_now that we take identical twins and put them in different environments. We

27、might send one, for example to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment【C9】_birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the【C10】_that people who live in close contact

28、with each other,but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.51 【C1 】（A）quite（B） enough（C） sure（D）so52 【C2 】（A）out of（B） into（C） from within（D）off53 【C3 】（A）amounts（B） qualities（C） limits（D）scores54 【C4 】（A）disposition（B） perception（C） endowment（D）environment55

30、on（D）environment六、Part Reading Comprehension60 Fourteen-year-old Sean MeCallum lay in a hospital bed waiting for a new heart. Without it, Scan would die. Sean s case is not unusual. Everyday many people die because there just aren t enough human organs to go around.Now scientists say they can alter

31、the genetic make-up of certain animals so that their organs may be acceptable to humans. With this gene-altering technique to overcome our immune rejection to foreign organs, scientists hope to use pig hearts for transplants by the year 2008.That prospect, however, has stirred up strong opposition a

32、mong animal fight activists. They protest that the whole idea of using animal organs is cruel and unjust; some scientists also fear such transplants may transform unknown diseases to humans.Others believe transplanting animal organs into humans is unnecessary. Millions of dollars spent on breeding p

33、igs for their organs could be better spent on health education programs. They believe seventy-five percent of the heart disease cases that lead to a need for organ transplant are preventable. The key is to convince people to eat healthfully, and not to smoke or drink alcohol. Scientists could also u

34、se research funds to improve artificial organs.Still others believe that though new inventions and prevention programs may help, spending money to encourage more people to donate their organs is an even better idea. If enough people were educated about organ donations, everyone who needed an organ c

35、ould be taken off the waiting list in a year.61 What is the problem the passage begins with?（A）High mortality rate of immune rejection（B） A malpractice in heart transplantation.（C） An unusual case of organ transplant（D）A shortage of human organs62 Not only is the gene-altering technique a technical

36、issue, according to the passage but also it_.（A）introduces an issue of inhumanity（B） raises the issue of justice in medicine（C） presents a significant threat to the human nature（D）pushes the practice of organ transplant to the limits63 Doubtful of the necessity of using animal organs, some scientist

37、s_.（A）are to narrow the scope of organ transplants（B） switch to the development of artificial organs（C） come up with alternatives to the current problem（D）set out to pursue better ways of treating heart disease64 It can be inferred from the concluding paragraph of the passage that_.（A）the gene-alter

38、ing technique will help those waiting for organ transplants（B） the present supply of human organs still has potential to be explored（C） people prefer the use of animal organs for medical purposes（D）the gene-altering technique leaves much to believed65 The information the passage carries is_.（A）enlig

39、htening（B） unbelievable（C） imaginative（D）factual65 There is a great irony of 21st-century global health: While many hundreds of millions of people lack adequate food as a result of economic inequities, political corruption, or warfare, many hundreds of millions more are overweight to the point of in

40、creased risk for diet-related chronic diseases. Obesity is a worldwide phenomenon, affecting children as well as adults and forcing all but the poorest countries to divert scarce resources away from food security to take care of people with preventable heart disease and diabetes.To reverse the obesi

41、ty epidemic, we must address the fundamental causes. Overweight comes from consuming more food energy than is expended in activity. The cause of this imbalance also is ironic: improved prosperity. People use extra income to eat more and be less physically active. Market economies encourage this. The

42、y make people with expendable income into consumers of aggressively marketed foods that are high in energy but low in nutritional value, and of cars, televisions set. And computers that promote sedentary behavior. Gaining weight are good business. Food is particularly big business because everyone e

43、ats.Moreover, food is so overproduced that many countries, especially the rich ones that far more than they need, another irony, than the United States, to take an extreme example, most adults-of all ages, incomes, educational levels, and census categoriesare overweight. The U. S. food supply provid

44、es 3800 kilocalories per person per day, nearly twice as much as required by many a-dults. Overabundant food forces companies to compete for sales through advertising, health claims, new products, larger portions, and campaigns directed toward children. Food marketing promotes weight gain. Indeed, i

45、t is difficult to think of any major industry that might benefit if people ate! Less food; certainly not the agriculture, food product, grocery, restaurant, diet or drug industries. All flourish when people eat more. And all employ armies of Lobbyists to discourage governments from doing anything to

46、 inhibit overeating.66 The great irony of 21st century global public health refers to_.（A）the cause of obesity and its counteractive measures（B） the insufficient and superfluous consumption of food（C） the seas natural resource and the green of food source（D）the consumption of food and the increased

47、risk for diet-related diseases67 To address the fundamental cause of the obesity epidemic, according to the passage, is_.（A）to improve political and economic management（B） to cope with the energy imbalance issue（C） to combat diet-related chronic diseases（D）to increase investment in global health68 A

48、s we can learn from the passage, the second irony refers to_.（A）affluence and obesity（B） food energy and nutritional value（C） food business and economic prosperity（D）diseases of civilization and pathology of inactivity69 As a result of the third irony, people_.（A）consume 3800 kilocalories on a daily

49、 basis（B） complain about food overproduction（C） have to raise their food expenses（D）are driven towards weight gain70 Which of the following can be excluded as we can understand based on the passage?（A）The economic dimension.（B） The political dimension.（C） The humane dimension.（D）The dietary dimension.70 Women find a masculine facewith a large jaw and a prominent brow-more attractive when they are most likely to attractive, acco
