Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。有兩項為多余選項。

【1】 From 18－25, according to I.Q. scores；but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age. You are smartest in your 20's; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to perform mathematical computations(數(shù)學計算). 【2】 Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain has almost four times as much information as it did at the age of 21.

【3】 You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 49. Before the age of 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come；over 30，we believe that they are behind us. A National Health survey agrees: after the age of 30, we become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we keep our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness, we feel, will follow.

【4】 Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak (頂峰)varies with different professions(職業(yè)). Mozart wrote a symphony and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed his bestknown work A Midsummer Night's Dream at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.

Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20's and 30's—creative people continue to produce work with high quality(質(zhì)量) throughout their lives. 【5】

A. When are you most creative ?

B. When are you happiest?

C. When are you smartest?

D. Do you know what I.Q. refers to?

E. But your I.Q. for other tasks goes up.

F. Creative people usually produce a lot of works.

G. For the “wellconditioned mind”, there is no upper limit.（限制）

試題分析：本文敘述了人的智商在人的不同階段的變化情況，文中說明了一是什么時間人是最聰明的，隨之記憶力下降，但是人們的詞匯或其他方面開始上升。二是人最幸福的時間是什么時候。三是人最具有創(chuàng)造力的時間是什么時候。并且文中舉例說明了各個問題。

【1】C根據(jù)From 18-25, according to I.Q. scores; but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age.敘述了人什么時間最聰明，故選C

【2】E根據(jù)your memory begins to go down 與Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example , is three times as great as then you graduated form college. 前者說的記憶力下降，后者說一個詞匯方面的增多，所以中間缺少一個過渡句，故選E。

【3】B 根據(jù)You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense form 40 to 49.人們最幸福的時候，故選B

【4】A根據(jù)Mosart wrote a symphony(交響曲) and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed（作曲） his best known work A Midsummer Night` s Dream, at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.從這種例子中可以看出是人最具有創(chuàng)造性的時候，故選A

【5】G根據(jù)most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20`s and 30`---creative people continue to produce work with high quality throughout their lives.許多諾貝爾獎的獲得者在他們20到30歲時做出很多研究，創(chuàng)造性的人繼續(xù)高質(zhì)量的產(chǎn)出，故選G。對于思想很成熟的人來說，是沒有限制的。
