There are tw factrs which determine an individual’s intelligence.The first is the srt f brain he is brn with.Human brains differ cnsiderably，sme being mre capable than thers.But n matter hw gd a brain he has t begin with，an individual will have a lw rder f intelligence unless he has pprtunities t learn.S the secnd factr is what happens t the individual—the srt f envirnment in which he is reared.If an individual is handicapped envirnmentally，it is likely that his brain will fail t develp and he will never attain the level f intelligence f which he is capable.
The imprtance f envirnment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be demnstrated by the case histry f the identical twins，Peter and Mark X．Being identical，the twins had identical brains at birth，and their grwth prcesses were the same.When the twins were three mnths ld，their parents died，and they were placed in separate fster hmes.Peter was reared by parents f lw intelligence in an islated cmmunity with pr educatinal pprtunities.Mark was reared in the hme f well－t－d parents wh had been t cllege.He was read t as a child，sent t gd schls，and given every pprtunity t be stimulated intellectually.This envirnmental difference cntinued until the twins were in their late teens，when they were given tests t measure their intelligence.Mark’s I．Q.was 125，twenty－five pints higher than the average and fully frty pints higher than his identical brther.Given equal pprtunities，the twins，having identical brains，wuld have tested at rughly the same level.
41．This selectin can best be titled________.
A．Measuring Yur Intelligence
B．Intelligence and Envirnment
C．The Case f Peter and Mark
D．Hw the Brain Influences Intelligence
42．The best statement f the main idea f this passage is that______.
A．human brains differ cnsiderably
B．the brain a persn is brn with is imprtant in determining his intelligence
C．envirnment is vital t determine a persn’s intelligence
D．persns having identical brains will have rughly the same intelligence
43．Accrding t the passage，the average I．Q.is________.
A．85 B．100 C．110 D．125
44．The case histry f the twins appears t supprt the cnclusin that________.
A．individual with identical brains seldm test at same level
B．an individual’s intelligence is determined nly by his envirnment
C．lack f pprtunity blcks the grwth f intelligence
D．changes f envirnment prduce changes in the structure f the brain
45．This passage suggests that an individual’s I．Q.________.
A．can be predicted at birth
B．stays the same thrughut his life
C．can be increased by educatin

课时作业答案
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．D 考查名词词义辨析。句意为：昨天你为什么没和朋友去钓鱼？嗯，钓鱼是一个需要很大耐心的爱好，而我不具备这一点。根据生活常识，我们也知道钓鱼需要耐心。patience “耐心；忍耐”符合题意；其余strength 力量，mney 金钱，wisdm 智慧，均不合句意。
2．B 考查习语运用和动词辨析。句意为：我还不习惯早起，但我不得不让自己适应这一点。由此可知第一空表示“习惯于做某事”，可用be used/accustmed t ding来表示，排除C、D；第二空可用adapt/accustm neself t...使自己习惯于……。A项中的adpt为“采纳；收养”之意。
3．A 考查词义辨析和搭配。句意为：你是因为我对校长撒谎而指责我吗？accuse sb.f (ding) sth.指责/控告某人…… 符合要求；scld “责备；指责”和fr连用；remind sb.f 提醒某人……；tell sb.f 告诉某人……，均不合句意。
4．D 考查搭配。the latter...是固定搭配，指两者中的“前者……，后者……”。secnd，next一般与first连用，later “迟的，晚的”不符合句意，也不和the frmer连用。
5．C 考查likely的用法。句意为：瞧，天上乌云密布，可能马上就要下雨了。It’s likely t d...很可能……；pssibly和perhaps都是副词，不作表语，prbable只用于“It’s prbable that...”这一句型。
6．C 句意为：没有人知道她是否会嫁给那个男孩，若嫁给他，她父母会很失望的。第一个if引导宾语从句，一般将来时应保持不变；第二个if引导条件状语从句，应该用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
7．D 考查宾语从句的语序和it指人的情况。宾语从句应用陈述语序，故可先排除A、C；另外，按英语习惯，当用于指代身份不明的人或婴儿时，要用it，而不用he或she。
8．C 考查宾语从句的引导词。通过分析发现“________it ”是knw的宾语从句，不是定语从句，只是被插入语my dear friend隔开罢了，而且从句内容完整，不缺成分。
9．C 考查表语从句的引导词。根据dubt的用法：用于肯定句时，后面接whether或if引导的名词性从句，而当其用于否定句时，其后常接that引导的名词性从句。
10．A be patient with sb.对某人耐心，是固定短语。
11．C similarly 同样地，句意为：我们通过锻炼强身健体，同样的也通过学习增强心智。A项“很可能”，B项“可能的”，D项“一般地”。
12．C 考查set组成的短语动词辨析。句意为：警察们已开始调查这起事故的起因。set abut当“着手”讲应用set abut ding，故排除A项；set aside意为“放在一边，存储”，意思不符；set ut t d sth.着手做某事；set up 建立。
13．D 句意为“现在我觉得肚子疼。我刚才本来不应该吃那么多的炸鸡的”。
14．B 考查宾语从句中的虚拟语气和表语从句的引导词。“that Yrk”是think的真正宾语，由于它在necessary之后，从句谓语动词应用(shuld)＋动词原形，故排除A；再从语态上可排除D；答语中的表语从句是个省略句，但不缺少成分，故选that，排除C。
15．C 考查名词辨析。句意为：辩护律师在问那位老人，他是上个月发生的谋杀案的其中一位目击者。witness “目击者，见证人”符合题意；其余bserver 观察员，viewer 观众，audience 观众，听众，均不确切。
Ⅱ.句子翻译

17．Thugh having studied in Harbin fr 4 years，she culdn’t accustm herself t the cld weather there.
18．These buildings are in a bad state f repair.
19．Warnings abut the danger f smking seem t have n impact n teens.
20．在过去的100年里，中国电影业从各种挫折和困境中又恢复了自信。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章讲述了小说家劳伦斯·诺莫夫在给学生上课时，从他们的漠然无知引发了对社会大背景的无奈。最后感慨：在这个万事都值得知道的世界，再没有什么真的值得去知道了。
21．D 小说家劳伦斯·诺莫夫在授课时“问”(ask)学生。
22．A 结合上一句理解：……有没有“读过” (read)杰克·克鲁亚克(的文章)。用read符合语境。

25．A 诺莫夫开始“描述”(describe)这个文学界狂人的故事。
26．C 有个学生提出，他以前有个老师跟此人一样“疯狂”(crazy)。与上文的wild man(狂人)吻合。
27．A 学生说他不“知道” (knw)。由下文的． blivius schlar和D yu knw...可推知。
28．B 你知道我的“名字”(name)吗？根据上文Naumff asked the prfessr’s name.以及下文． name f the persn teaching the curse.分析推知。
29．C 我想很多学生“选修”(take)我的课只为拿学分……。take ne’s curse选修某人的课。
30．D 当你知道有的学生会连授课老师的名字都懒得“弄清楚”(find ut)，这也实在令人“失望”(disappinted)。
31．A 结合上一句理解，选finding ut。
32．B “餐桌上”(at the dinner)其他教授们也开始讲述自己的沮丧遭遇。根据文章首句的信息暗示Over dinner a few weeks ag，这些教授们是在餐桌上谈论此事的。
33．C 教授们感慨着“校园”(campus)内好奇心的缺失多么令人不安。
34．D 他们指出，这种无知并不“新鲜”(new)。
35．A 但在过去，“无知”(ignrance)往往让人惭愧并催人奋进。
36．A 过去的学生更会由于不知道某些东西而“感到苦恼”(be trubled)，更会去刻苦学习以弥补差距。
37．C “而”(hwever)如今，像一位书评家所说的……。
38．D 像一位书评家所说的：“问题是他们对此还满不在乎。”用care abut表示“关心，在乎”的意思，符合语境。
39．C 我们的世界越来越复杂，要掌握任何一门有“特殊”(particular)规律的学科——如计算机、人寿保险、医学——所需要知道的信息都按几何级数地大规模增长了。
40．B 我们被迫要“成为”(becme)专家……。用becme符合语境。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 人的智商是由两个因素决定的，一个是遗传，另一个是人们所处的教育环境。一对失去父母的双胞胎兄弟成为很好的佐证。
41．B 考查主旨大意。本文主要讨论了智商与环境之间的关系，并以一对失去父母的双胞胎兄弟的实例加以证明。
42．C 考查推理判断。虽然人的智商是由两个因素决定的。但是本文用大幅篇章说明了环境的重要性：好的学习、教育环境对于一个人的智商发展来说是必不可少的，并以一对失去父母的双胞胎兄弟的实例加以证明。
43．B 考查细节理解。由倒数第二句“Mark’s I．Q.was 125，twenty－five pints higher than the average”可知选B。
44．C 考查细节理解。由Peter的例子可知糟糕的教育环境会阻碍智商的发展。
45．C 考查细节理解。由Mark的例子可知，好的学习、教育环境可以提高一个人的智商。 Over dinner a few w21__students in his intrductin t creative writing curse at UNC Chapel Hill if they had__2223e are mre blank__24__.
