23．（8分） 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 degree 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. Thus the limits of 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 degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree 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 degree of intelligence.
1、The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him .
A．at birth B．through education
C．both at birth and through education D．through environment of one’s family
2、If a child is born with high intelligence, he can .
A．surely become a genius
B．still become a genius if he isn’t given good education
C．reach his intelligence limits through his own efforts
D．probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings
3、The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows .
A．the importance of their intelligence B．the role of environment on intelligence
C．the importance of their positions D．the part that birth plays
4、The best title of the passage can be .
A．On Intelligence B．On Genius
C．Dependence on Environment D．Effect of Education on Intelligence
24．（8分）An 11-year-old girl from Belthangady, India, recently made news headlines for having around 60 dead ants pulled from her eyes. As for how the insects got there, some doctors thought they entered her body through the ears.
Last week, the girl, known only as Ashwini, started complaining of severe pain in her eyes. She told her parents that she felt there was something stuck in her eyes, and when they checked, they did find a small ant in one of her eyes. They didn’t pay much importance to it, as they assumed the insect had gotten there by accident, but it wasn’t long before the girl again started reporting pain in her eyes. They discovered more dead ants, and this time, they took her to hospital.
A local doctor told Ashwini’s parents that the insects must have first entered her body through the ears and then somehow made their way to her eyes. He gave her some eye-drops to help with the irritation（刺激）, but the girl still has 5 to 6 ants pulled from her eyes daily. A week ago, the Daily Mail reported that Ashwini’s eyes produced around 60 dead ants in a period of 10 days.
As doctors in Belthangady were left scratching their heads about how the ants reached Ashwini’s eyes or what they could do to stop the unusual phenomenon, she was taken to an eye hospital in Moodabidri, where her family hope to get some answers.
IB Times reports that Ashwini’s parents feared she had been affected by some evil spirit, so they also took her to an astrologer（占星家） who told them that the ants in the eyes were caused by something called Naga Dosha. But who knows?
1、Why did Ashwini recently make news headlines?
A．Because of her love for insects. B．Because of her extraordinary skills.
C．Because of her strange experience. D．Because of her abilities to control ants.
2、How did Ashwini’s parents react when finding an ant in her eye?
A．They didn’t take it seriously. B．They tried their best to comfort her.
C．They sent her to hospital immediately. D．They didn’t think it was just an accident.
3、The underlined part in paragraph 4 most probably means “ ”.
A．feeling angry about B．showing disagreement about
C．being optimistic about D．feeling puzzled about
4、What can be inferred about Ashwini from the text?
A．Her eyes no longer produce dead ants.
B．Eye-drops are of little help to her eyes.
C．The dead ants cause no harm to her eyes.
D．Only the astrologer has found out the truth.
25．（10分）During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contribution of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur (业余的) historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources. During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources form the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States—one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radeliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of the writing about women adjusted to the “great women” theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men”. To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great mass of ordinary women. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.
1、What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．The role of literature in early American histories.
