8.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 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.While the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth,whether or not 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 are likely to be in intelligence.Thus if we take two unrelated people at ran dom(隨機(jī)地) from population,it is likely that their degrees 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 sisters,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 work 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 degrees of intelligence.

分析 本文是一篇社會(huì)文化類閱讀,屬于說(shuō)明文,主要講述了盡管一個(gè)人的智慧的限制是固定的在出生時(shí),關(guān)系越近的人,智力就越相似.但是他是否達(dá)到這些限制將取決于他的環(huán)境,彼此密切聯(lián)系但根本沒有關(guān)系的人可能具有相似的智力.
解答 25.C.段落大意題.根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容,尤其是While the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth,whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.可知,作者認(rèn)為盡管一個(gè)人的智慧的限制是固定的在出生時(shí),他是否達(dá)到這些限制將取決于他的環(huán)境.故選C.
26.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)Relations like brothers and sisters,parents and children,usually have similar intelligence,and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.可知,兄弟姐妹,父母和孩子的關(guān)系,通常具有相似的智力,這清楚地表明智力依賴于出生.故關(guān)系越近的人,智力就越相似.故選A.
27.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)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 degrees of intelligence.可知,這表明 這種環(huán)境和出生也起了一定的作用.這個(gè)結(jié)論也被認(rèn)為是一個(gè)事實(shí),即彼此密切聯(lián)系但根本沒有關(guān)系的人可能具有相似的智力.故選B.
28.A.主旨大意題.閱讀全文,根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,本文主要講述了盡管一個(gè)人的智慧的限制是固定的在出生時(shí),他是否達(dá)到這些限制將取決于他的環(huán)境.故BCD都太過(guò)片面.故選A.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇社會(huì)文化類閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,推理判斷題,主旨大意題.做題時(shí)學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀原文,把握文章主要內(nèi)容,聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項(xiàng)含義,從中選出正確答案,一定要做到有理有據(jù),切忌胡亂猜測(cè).
