0accomplish（分数：35.50）

1.（分数：3.55）

填空项1:（正确答案：M）

解析：此处需填入名词。从下文inherited（继承）一词可知遗传会影响智力，

function一词最符合文意。factor是“因素”之义，放在此处意思不通，因为这

里强调遗传对于智力的“影响、作用"，注意排除此项。

［参考译文］穷人的智商明显低于富人的智商，尴尬的是人们普遍认为这很

大程度上是遗传在起作用。毕竟，一系列研究似乎表明智商在很大程度上是遗传

的。例如，同卵双胞胎即使是分开抚养，智商仍然非常相似。

假如智力与我们的基因紧密相关，那么由此会推断出一个令人沮丧的结果:

学校教育和扶贫计划都不可能取得卓越成效。然而，当智商主要来自遗传这个观

点被广为接受时，有新的证据表明这个观点是极为错误的。密歇根州立大学心理

学教授理查德泥斯贝特在其新书《开启智慧》中证明了这个观点是完全错误的。

尼斯贝特教授强烈主张加强儿童早期教育，因为这个时期的教育已经被证

明能够提升孩子的智商。例如，密尔沃基项目对有患智力迟钝风险的非裔美国儿

童进行了研究，该研究将他们随机分组,其中一组是不会得到任何帮助的控制组，

另外一组从半岁到小学一年级一直得到精心的日间护理并享有教育。到了5岁时,

得到特别护理和教育的那一组儿童平均智商为110,而控制组儿童的智商仅为83o

另一个被证明有助于智力发展的干预是告诉初中生智商是可以提升的，而且他们

的智力是可以自己塑造的。受这种想法影响的学生会更加努力学习，且学习成绩

更好。

这项对于智力的新研究给我们的启示是，假如我们大力推进儿童早期教育,

大力支持学校教育，我们就能够大幅度地提高美国人的整体智商。

2.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：D）

解析：此处需填入动词的过去分词或形容词。上文都是在讲智商在很大程

度上是遗传的，则此处的例子应该是说同卵双胞胎即使是分开抚养，智商也非常

"相似"，similar符合文意。

3.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：0）

解析：此处需填入动词原形。联系上文可知此处表示学校教育和扶贫计划

都不能提高智商，accomplish有“实现”之义，放回原文指学校教育和扶贫计划

“成效甚微”，故为答案。interfere“干预”有贬义,不符合语境，应注意排除;

function"起作用"符合语境，但空后的much不能修饰function,故排除。

4.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：J）

解析：此处需填入副词，修饰wrongo联系下一句中的completelywrong

不难发现此处意思与completely相似，表明“智商与基因紧密相关”这种观念是

完全错误的。副词词库中，只有profoundly一词符合。

5.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：E）

解析：此处需填入动词原形。结合上下文可知尼斯贝特教授认为早期教育

对于智力发展很重要，因此此处指“提高智商”，结合文章末尾raise一词不难发

现此处为词义复现，raise符合。

6.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：I）

解析：此处需填入副词，修饰assignedo副词词库中，randomly表示“随

机”，最符合实验的形式，故选randomly。

7.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：G）

解析：此处需填入动词。很明显此处表示得到特别护理并享有教育的那一

组儿童的“平均智商”为110,选averaged。

8.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：B）

解析：此处需填入名词。由空前的Another可知空处表示的事物与上文的

儿童教育一样影响智力的发展，再结合下文初中生的例子可知intervention符合

文意，表示“干预”。

9.（分数：3.55）

填空项1:（正确答案：C）

解析：此处需填入副词，修饰work。由下文的bettergrades不难知道此处

表示“更加努力地学习"，harder常用于修饰work,为正确答案。

10.（分数:3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：K）

解析：此处需填入原形动词。此空意思与其后的并列谓语动词support相

近，push表示“推进”，符合原文“推进儿童早期教育”之义，故选push。

1.Industrygroupstendtoemphasizethemoneyhotelscansavealongwith

thebenefitstotheenvironmentwhentheypersuadehotelsintobeingeco-friendly.

（分数：7.10）

填空项1：（正确答案：D）

解析：行业组织在说服酒店支持环保的时候往往在强调对环境有益的同时，

也强调酒店能从中节省的开支。

本题说明了酒店推动环保与其节省开支之间的关系，与此信息相关的段落

包括B至D三段。再根据Industrygroups及themoneyhotelscansave等关键词

可定位至D段第1句，该句中的moreenvironmentallyfriendly与本题的

eco-friendly对应,themoneythey'llsave与本题的themoneyhotelscansave对应，

故确定答案为Do

2.Somecompaniestaketherealactionstoembraceconservation,while

othersarejustgreenfakeries.（分数：7.10）

填空项1：（正确答案：G）

解析：一些公司采取实际行动来支持环保，而另一些公司只是假装环保。

本题提到不同公司对环保的两种截然不同的态度，可直接将定位锁定在

Greenstoriesofcompanies标题下的G及H段。其中G段第1句首先总结性地指

出，假装环保的（greenfakery）不仅仅是酒店。第2句表示一些公司是真环保（for

real）,最后一句指出许多公司为了节约成本，企业的经营方式没有改变，却极力

展示对地球母亲的贡献。这些信息都分别与本题所述对应，故答案为G。

3.Cuttingdownthenumberofloadsoflaundrycansavealargeamountof

electricityandwaterforthehotels.（分数:7.10）

填空项1：（正确答案：B）

解析：减少送洗衣物的数量能为酒店节省大量的电力及水。

本题与酒店的洗衣服务有关，故应定位在Greenstoriesofhotels标题下的

A至F段。再根据关键词laundry,可将范围缩小至B和C,其中B段第1句提到，

保持毛巾的干净需要大量的水电和香皂，故减少洗衣服务能减少酒店支出，B段

为本题出处。

4.Onewaytospotthegreenfakeryistoseewhetherthecompanymakesits

customersdothework,andthentakesthecredititself.（分数：7.10）

填空项1：（正确答案：H）

解析：辨明伪环保的一个方法就是看看该公司是否让其顾客行动，自己则

从中获益。

本题与辨明公司伪环保的方法有关，可直接在Greenstoriesofcompanies

标题下的G及H段中查找，发现H段第1句提到“容易辨别这类公司（文中的these

companies指那些不是真心支持环保的公司）……”，冒号后的内容与本题对应，

故本题出处在H段。

G段第1句也复现了本题的greenfakery,易误选。但该段只是提到有两

种不同的公司，一种是真心支持环保，另一种是伪装的，并没有提到如何辨明，

故并非本题出处。

5.AdcampaignshelpcompanieslikeChevronraisetheirranksofgreen

reputation.（分数:7.10）

填空项1：（正确答案：J）

解析：广告推广活动帮助诸如雪佛龙这种公司提升其环保排名。

本题出现关键词Adcampaigns,故可在Greenstoriesofadcampaigns标题

下查找出处，再根据专有名词Chevron可快速定位定I段及J段。这两段中只有

J段前三句提到了Chevron的环保排名，其中第3句明确指出该公司之所以能升

至62位，部分原因是这些华丽的广告，这与本题所述相符，故J为本题出处。
