(2010届重庆第二次诊断，B)
Does your older brother think he’s cleverer than you？Well，heccording to a new research published in the journal Intelligence，the oldest children in families are likely to have the highest IQs and the youngest the lowest.
A number of studies have suggested that IQ scores decline with birth order.In the most recent study，at Vrije University，Amsterdam，researchers looked at men and women whose IQ had been tested at the ages of 5,12 and 18.
The results，which showed a trend for the oldest to score better than the youngest in each test，involved about 200,000 people.That showed that first­borns had a three­point IQ advantage over the second­born，who was a point ahead of the next in line.
The order of birth can also affect personality，achievement，and career，with first­borns being more academically successful and more likely to win Nobel prizes.However，eldest children are less likely to be radical and pioneering.Charles Darwin，for example，was the fifth child of six.
Exactly why there should be such differences is not clear，and there are a number of theories on environmental influences on the child.
The so­called dilution (稀释法) theory suggests that as family resources，both emotional and physical，as well as economic，are limited，it follows that，as a result，as more children come along，the levels of parental attention and encouragement will drop.Another theory is that the intellectual (智力的) environment in the family favors the first­born who has，at least for some time，the benefit of individual care and help.
The theory which enjoys the most support is that the extra time and patience that the earlier­borns get from their parents，compared with those arriving later，gives them an advantage.
1．What is the passage mainly about?
A．IQ scores have little to do with the order of birth.
B．Intellectual families favor the first­born.
C．The order of birth can have an effect on IQ.
D．The order of birth can affect personality，achievement，and career.
2．By using Charles Darwin as an example，the author wants to prove that________.
A．eldest children are the smartest in a family
B．youngest children will usually become experts
C．first­borns are more likely to win Nobel prizes
D．eldest children are less likely to try something new
3．What do we know about the dilution theory?
A．Intellectual parents love the first­born better.
B．Parents’attention will drop with more children coming.
C．Family resources，both emotional and physical are endless.
D．First­borns get less care and help from their parents.
4．The passage is developed mainly by________.
A．offering opinion with further explanation
B．pointing out similarities and differences
C．comparing opinions from different deeds
D．providing typical examples

Ⅲ.单项填空
1．C　win赢、赢得，如win the game/competition/match或win the first prize等；而defeat和beat都指“打败对方”；get指“获得什么奖项或名次”。
2．B　本题考查副词和形容词短语的用法。句意为：令我们大为吃惊的是，他在这么短的时间内就把所有的笔记复习完了，为第二天的考试做好了准备。much在句中修饰to one’s surprise，表示程度；prepared在句中为过去分词作形容词，表示状态。
3．C　本题考查more than用法。句意为：“朱莉娅，要我给你帮忙吗？”一点也不错(肯定是这样)，这么多的工作我自己应付不了”。more than与含有情态动词can或could的从句连用，表示“……不能……”，如My love to my father is more than I can describe.我对父亲的爱难于用言语表述。less than小于，决不；rather than而不是；no more than仅仅。
4．B　句意为：玛丽想独自环球旅行，可是她父母不允许她这样做。
5．C　此处ending为现在分词作状语，表结果。
6．A　further explanation进一步的解释。
7．D　take part in是固定短语，意思是“参加”；the result特指英语演讲比赛的结果。
8．A　weigh作“称起来有多重”解时，是不及物动词。此处weighing是动词­ing形式作定语修饰stone。
9．B　every每，每隔；every other week＝every second week＝every two weeks每两周；每隔一周。
10．D　句意为：研究表明，中国在家上网的人数已高达一亿，居世界第一位。rank分等级，排名。动词­ing形式短语作结果状语。
11．B　句意为：发展旅游业很重要，但我们也要认真考虑旅游业对野生动植物造成的负面影响。effect效果，后果，常用于短语have effect on...。

15．A　stand for代表，象征，符合题意。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
1．C　主旨大意题。从全文内容可知，文章的第一段导入了要讨论的话题。中心句“the oldest children in families are likely to have the highest IQs and the youngest the lowest”表明本文主要讲述智商与出生顺序的关系。
2．D　推理判断题。文章的第四段表明：一个人的出生顺序还影响他的性格、成就和事业。第一个孩子在学术上容易成功或更易获得诺贝尔奖，但是不激进、不具有开创性。下面举例说进化论的创立者达尔文就是六个孩子中的第五个。这个例子是为了证明“eldest children are less likely to be radical and pioneering”这个观点。
3．B　推理判断题。文章的倒数第二段阐释了稀释法理论。其中的“as more children come along，the levels of parental attention and encouragement will drop”与B项的陈述相符。
4．A　文章结构题。文章首先谈到一项研究结果，然后针对智商与出生顺序的关系展开陈述，即先表明观点，然后进行详细分析，这就是本文的写作结构。
5．A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的as our guest可推断这是旅馆经理对顾客的善意提醒。下文各个小标题的内容也是线索提示。
6．D　细节理解题。根据GUEST ROOM SECURITY部分的第一、二句内容可判断D项正确。A项与TRAVELING部分中的“Stay in well­lit and heavily traveled areas.”不符合；B项与SAFETY BOXES部分中的“Hotel is not responsible for items left in room valued over$200.”不符；C项与REPORTING部分中的“Please report any suspicious activity，or safety concerns to management.”不符。
7．C　细节理解题。根据GUEST ROOM SECURITY部分中的“If there is any doubt about the person’s identity，please contact the Front Desk.”可知，如果有陌生人敲门，应与前台联系，以核实对方的身份。
8．A　词义猜测题。画线部分中的unlikely表示“不可能的”，由此可推断画线部分意为“万一发生火灾，虽然发生火灾的可能性极小”。
