17、lligence. 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

18、 happens to the individualthe sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped (不利的) 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. The importance of environment in determining

19、 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 sepa

20、rate foster (抚养) homes. 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 stimula

21、ted 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 opportun

22、ities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.11. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. human brains differ completelyB. the brain a person is born with determines his intelligenceC. environment is crucial in determining a persons intelligenceD. persons h

23、aving identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence12. According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _.A. 85B. 100C. 110D. 12513.

26、merican 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 security2. a world at peace3. freedom4. self-respect5. happiness6. wisdom7. a sense of accomplishm

27、ent8. a comfortable life9. true friendship10. salvation (拯救) in the religious sense11. inner harmony12. equality13. national security14. mature love15. a world of beauty16. pleasure17. an exciting life18. social recognitionAre you surprised that Americans place their values in this way? Did you thin

28、k 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

29、- a world at peace, and 3 - national security.The results of the study showed that people who placed equality high up 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.Anothe

30、r 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 responsibilit

31、ies in their work and with their own families, that appreciating beauty moves back into the background of their lives. What a pity! Children have more time to enjoy beauty and Nature.Philosophers, psychologists and religious people have always been very much concerned with values. After all, values

32、represent what we each hold most dear to ourselves and to our society. 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 PeopleB. A Research on American ValuesC. Ho

33、w Psychologists Do ResearchD. The American Social Custom17. Which of the following might the writer place higher on the list?A. A world of beauty.B. A comfortable life.C. Equality and freedom.D.

Peoples concepts of values play an essential role in the formation of their government system.19. The finding that children ranked “a world of bea

35、uty” higher than adults probably means that _.A. American schools begin to lay more emphasis on beauty educationB. American children are usually more kind-hearted than adultsC. adults have less time to enjoy beauty and Nature because of more responsibilitiesD. a world of beauty would be the most imp

36、ortant thing as people grow older20.
