　　二、阅读理解(共40分，每小题2分)

　　Passage 1

　　Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special 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.

　　Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but 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 something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the 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 possibly be as intelligent as each other. Relatives 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 proved 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.

　　16. Which of these statements best describes the writer’s view in Para. 1?

　　A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth. B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.

　　C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid. D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

　　17. In Para. 1, the underlined word “surroundings” means _________. A. intelligence B. life C. environments D. housing

　　18. It is suggested in this passage that _________.

　　A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence

　　B. close relatives usually have similar intelligence

　　C. the closer the blood relationship between people is, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence

　　D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence

　　19. People who live in close contact ________.

　　A. will have the same character B. won’t get along well with each other

　　C. are hardly to be influenced D. may have similar intelligence

　　20. The best title for this passage would be __________.

　　A. On Intelligence B. What Intelligence Means

　　C. We Are Born With Intelligence D. Environment In Developing Intelligence

　　Passage 2

　　Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can sometimes go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have at least one good friend. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking with them on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up because they can discuss with their friends the problems that are difficult to say to their family members.

　　Passage 3

　　Thousands of years ago people guessed the time of a day by watching the sun. Later, they found it was easier to tell the exact time by looking at the shadows. Thus, the sundial (日晷) was invented.

　　The sundial proved a useful timepiece in sunny weather. However, another type of timepiece was necessary for cloudy weather and nigh time. A sand glass was another common measure of time. Two glass bottles were connected by a very small opening. The top bottle was filled with sand, which dropped slowly into the bottom one in a certain period of time. Hour glasses were widely used then. Three-minute sand glasses are still used in many homes to time the boiling of eggs.

　　The real ancestor of modem clocks was the water clock. In China, an early water clock was made up of several bowls. Water trickled from one bowl to another to keep the clock going. Visitors to the Beijing Palace Museum can still see the old water clocks showing the time there.

　　In the Middle Ages a waterless clock was invented which worked by means of weight. To keep the weight falling at the same speed, a system of wheels was invented. The pendulum (钟摆) was soon developed to control the speed of the wheels. Thus the modem form of clock came into being.

　　Passage 4

　　“Seals called me screaming,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals’ boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”

　　According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an inadequate extension cord used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the home was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure.
