23、and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developedby our environment and our experiences? Strangely _51_, the answer to both thesequestions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amountof special education can make a genius _52_ a child born with low intelligence.On t
24、he other hand, a child who lives in boring environment will develop hisintelligence less than the one who lives in rich and varied surrounding. Thus the_53_ of a person s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reachesthose limits will depend on his _54_. This view, not held by most e
25、xperts canbe supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent _55_ we are born with.The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likelyto be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people _56_, it is likelythat their degrees of
26、intelligence will be completely different. If on the otherhand we take two identical twins they will likely be as intelligent as each other.Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have _57_intelligence and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth._58_ now t
27、hat we take identical twins and put them in different environments.We might send one, for example to a university and the other to a factory wherethe work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, andthis indicates that environment _59_ birth plays a part. This conclusion
28、 isalso suggested by the _60_ 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.51. A. quietB. enoughC. sureD. so52. A. out ofB. intoC. from withinD. off53. A. amountsB. qualitiesC. limitsD. scores54. A. dispositi

30、onditionD.environmentPart IV Reading Comprehension(30%)Passage OneFourteen-year-old Sean MeCallum lay in a hospital bed waiting for a new heart.Without it, Sean would die. Seans case is not unusual. Everyday many people diebecause there just arent enough human organs to go around.Now scientists say
31、they can alter the genetic make-up of certain animals so thattheir organs may be acceptable to humans. With this gene-altering technique toovercome our immune rejection to foreign organs, scientists hope to use pig heartfor transplants by the year 2008.That prospect, however, has stirred up strong o
32、pposition among animal fightactivities. They protest that that the whole idea of using animal organs is crueland unjust. Some scientists also fear such transplants may transform unknowndiseases to humans.Others believe transplanting animal organs into humans is unnecessary. Millionsof dollars spent
33、on breeding pigs for their organs could be better spent on healtheducation programs. They believe seventy-five percent of the heart disease casesthat lead to a need for organ transplant are preventable. The key is to convincepeople to eat healthily, and not to smoke or drink alcohol. Scientists coul
34、d alsouse 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 betteridea. If enough people were educated about organ donations, everyone who neededan org
35、an could 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 organs.62. Not only is the gene-altering technique a tec
36、hnical issue, according to thepassage but also it _.A. introduces an issue of inhumanityB. raises the issue of justice in medicineC. presents a significant threat to human natureD. pushes the practice of organ transplant to the limits63.Doubtfulofthenecessityofusinganimalorgans,somescientists_.A. ar
37、e to narrow the scope of organ transplantsB. switch to the development of artificial organsC. come up with alternatives to the current problemD. 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-altering techn
38、ique will help those waiting for organ transplantsB. the present supply of human organs still has potential to be exploredC. people prefer the use of animal organs for medical purposesD. the gene-altering technique leaves much to believed65. The information the passage carries is _.A. enlighteningB.
39、 unbelievableC. imaginativeD.factualPassage TwoThere is a great irony of 21stcentury global health: While many hundreds ofmillions of people lack adequate food as a result of economic inequities, politicalcorruption, or warfare, many hundreds of millions more are overweight to the pointof increased
40、risk for diet-related chronic diseases. Obesity is a worldwidephenomenon, affecting children as well as adults and forcing all but the poorestcountries to divert scarce resources away from food security to take care of peoplewith preventable heart disease and diabetes.To reverse the obesity epidemic
41、, we must address the fundamental cause.Overweight comes from consuming more food energy than is expended in activity. Thecause of this imbalance also is ironic: improved prosperity. People use extra incometo eat more and be less physically active. Market economies encourage this. Theymake people wi
42、th expendable income into consumers of aggressively marketed foodsthat are high in energy but low in nutritional value, and of cars, television set,and computers that promote sedentary behaviour. Gaining weight are good business.Food is particularly business because everyone eats.Moreover, food is s
43、o overproduced that many countries, especially the rich ones,have far more than they need - another irony. In the United States, to take an extremeexample,mostadults-ofallages,incomes,educationallevels,andcensuscategories are overweight. The U.S. food supply provides 3800 kilocalories perperson per
44、day, nearly twice as much as required by many adults. Overabundant foodforces companies to compete for sales through advertising, health claims, newproducts, large portions. And campaigns directed toward children. Food marketingpromotes weight gain. Indeed, it is difficult to think of any major indu
45、stry thatmight benefit if people eat 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 government from doing anythingto inhibit overeating.66. The great irony of 21st
46、century global public health refers to _.A. the cause of obesity and its counteractive measuresB. the inefficient and superfluous consumption of foodC. the seas natural resource and the green of food sourceD. the consumption of food and the increased risk for diet-related diseases67. To address the
47、fundamental cause of the obesity epidemic, according to thepassage, is _.A. to improve political and economic managementB. to cope with the energy imbalance issueC. to combat diet-related chronic diseasesD. to increase investment in global health68. As we can learn from the passage, the second irony
48、 refers to _.A. affluence and obesityB. food energy and nutritional valueC. food business and economic prosperityD. diseases of civilization and pathology of inactivity69. As a result of the third irony, people _.A. consume 3800 kilocalories on a daily basisB. complain about food overproductionC. ha
49、ve to raise their food expensesD. 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 dimensionC. The humane dimension.D. The dietary dimensionPassage ThreeWomen find a masculine face with a lar
50、ge jaw and a prominent brow more attractivewhen they are more likely to conceive, according to a study published in the June24 Nature. Before, during, and just after menstruation, however, they seem to bedrawn to less angular, more “feminine” male faces, the researchers report.“Other studies of fema
