Passage Three
Questions Il to 15 are based on the following passage.
There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of
brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But
no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low level of intelligence
unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the
individual-the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is (不利旳)
environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level
of intelligence of which he is capable.
3 / 12

The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated
by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains
at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their
parents died, and they were placed in separate Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an
isolated community with fewer educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to do
parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every
opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.
This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were
given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I. Q was 125, twenty-five points higher than the
average and forty points higher than his identical brother Given equal opportunities, the twins, having
identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
11. The main idea of this passage is that ▲ .
A. human brains differ completely
B. the brain a person is born with determines his intelligence

D. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same Intelligence

A. individuals with identical brains are seldom tested
B. an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environment
C. lack of educational opportunities blocks the growth of intelligence

Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Three American psychologists did a research study several years ago on what Americans
value most. In the study, eighteen values were asked to put in the order of importance. The result is
as follows:
1. family security
3. freedom
2. a world at peace
4. self-respect
5. happiness
6. wisdom
7. a sense of accomplishment
9. true friendship
11. inner harmony
13. national security
15. a world of beauty
17. an exciting life
8. a comfortable life
10. Salvation (拯救) in the religious sense
12. Equality
14. mature love
16. pleasure
18. social recognition
Are you surprised that Americans place their values in this way? Did you think they would put
their values in a different order? I would have thought love and friendship might have come higher
on this list. As you can see, several of these values are closely related to each other and are dependent
upon each other. In other words, we cannot have 1-family security without 2 a world at peace, and 3
national security.
The results of the study showed that people who placed equality high up on their list of
values were those who had positive attitudes towards persons of other races and who supported
civil rights activity, especially the work of Martin Luther King Jr
Another Interesting finding in this study was that eleven-year-old children ranked a world of
beauty 7th in Importance, but fifteen-year old children ranked a world of beauty 14th and adults
ranked it 17th. Well, what does it mean? Probably it means that as people grow older and take on
more responsibilities in their work and with their own families, that appreciating beauty move-back
into the background of their lives. What a pity! Children have more time to enjoy equity and Nature.
Philosophers, psychologists and religious people have always been very much conceded
with values. After all, values represent what we each hold most dear to ourselves and to our society.
5 / 12

Societies establish their own forms of government based on the collective values of the people, or at
least they try to do so.
16. The best title of this passage can be ▲ .
A. The American People
B. A Research on American Values
D. The American Social Custom
C. How Psychologists Do Research
17. Which of the following might the writer place higher on the list? ▲
A. A world of beauty.
B. A comfortable life.
D. Love and friendship
C. Equality and freedom.
18. Which of the following is NOT true? ▲
A. All Americans look forward to the equality of different races.
B. Psychologists got some interesting results from this study.
C. Family security and a world at peace are dependent upon each other.
D. People's concepts of values play an essential role in the formation of their government
system.
19. The finding that children ranked " a world of beauty" higher than adults probably means that
▲ .
A. American schools begin to lay more emphasis on beauty education
B. American children are usually more kind-hearted than adults
C. adults have less time to enjoy beauty and Nature because of more responsibilities
D. a world of beauty would be the most important thing as people grow older
20. According to the last paragraph, values represent ▲ .
A. what a dear friend our society is to us

C. most valuable things to us and to our society
D. how we and our society hold to each other
