New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.‎ Scientific consensus (共识) suggests intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. After this point, IQ scores become steady. But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation(刺激) from other people is important as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle---the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true --- so people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.‎ Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables”. He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equally bright brothers and sisters. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.‎ Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This ‎ means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.‎ ‎24. According to the text, it is commonly believed that ______.‎ A. people’s IQ levels fall as they age ‎ B. it is wise to share family members’ views C. people can’t improve their intelligence during adulthood D. doing something challenging is good for one’s intelligence ‎25. The underlined word “nosedive” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ______‎ A. vary B. develop C. change D. fall ‎26. Which of the following can help improve one’s intelligence according to Professor Flynn?‎ ‎ A. Making many friends B. Staying with smart people ‎ C. Doing exercise every day. D. Learning from brothers or sisters ‎27. The purpose of the text is to ________.‎ ‎ A. inform B. advertise C. entertain D. persuade ‎ ‎ C On a July afternoon in 1937, 15-year-old Betty Brown was playing with her father’s shortwave radio at home in Florida. She was searching for her favorite songs so she could copy the lyrics down in a notebook. While daydreaming, Brown casually turned the dial on the radio until she heard something that made her stop. It was a voice that sounded familiar. Back in those days, news clips (新闻摘要) were played at movie theaters. Brown recognized the voice from one of the news films she had seen. ‎ ‎ “ I heard Amelia Earhart in a panicked voice, a heartbreaking voice,” Brown recalled in a 2007 interview. “ She was saying, ‘This is Amelia Earhart Putnam, please help me. Please hear me.”‎ Brown quickly began writing down what she heard---parts of desperate conversations between the woman she believed was Earhart and an unknown man. Later, she decided that the man must have been Earhart’s navigator (领航员)，Fred ‎ Noonan. As the signal faded in and out, Brown never left the radio. She scribbled (潦草地写) away as Earhart and Noonan struggled for control of the radio. Earhart tried to prevent Noonan from leaving the plane after they had apparently crash-landed. All the while, Earhart repeated strings of numbers and mentioned rising water. After about three hours, Earhart and Noonan were seemingly forced to abandon the plane as it was filled with water, and the distress calls (求救信号) stopped.‎ ‎ Brown and her father both tried to give her notes to the United States Coast Guard, but they were told the situation was under control. The search for Earhart was abandoned after a great effort was made, and Brown eventually stopped trying to tell people what she heard. But she kept her notebook. In 2000, people from an organization researching Earhart’s disappearance asked to see it. The researchers were convinced that Brown’s notes were reliable. If the researchers are right, the notes are a priceless, yet sorrowful, record of the sad ending of an American hero.‎ ‎28. Betty Brown stayed by the radio for so long because she _______.‎ A. was waiting for her music to come back on B. enjoyed recording people’s conversations C. wanted to gather more information about Earhart’s situation D. wanted to take notes for a book about Earhart ‎29. From the Coast Guard’s reaction to Brown, we can infer that the Coast Guard ________.‎ A. did not want to look for Earhart ‎ B. did not believe Brown heard Earhart C. wanted Brown to help them find Earhart D. already knew where Earhart was ‎30. Why did Brown most likely keep her notebook for so long?‎ A. She hoped that it would be worth some money.‎ B. She felt Amelia Earhart would someday be found.‎ C. She wanted to write a song about Amelia Earhart.‎ D. She believed it contained valuable information.‎ ‎31. Which word can best describe Brown?‎ A. Determined B. Forgetful C. Independent D. Careless ‎ ‎ D ‎ Planetary（行星的） changes which will have an influence on many are drawing near because of the poor ecological state of the planet. Actually change has already begun through climate changes, but most humans haven’t noticed this yet. Climate change has begun to influence the world already and will begin to see that the results of climate change will be far more serious than now understood.‎ ‎ As the planet is under big geological（地质的） stresses, which are continuously increasing, it will in the future no longer be able to support its population. Scarcity（缺乏） of resources, over-farming, lack of clean air, not enough clean drinking water and drought （旱灾）are some of the issues that will all play a much greater role in the near future.‎ ‎ Humans have caused large ecological devastation（破坏）. The lifestyles of many people are changing at a fast speed; however, this will finally result in a shortage of some valuable resources. When this scarcity begins to happen, people will no longer be able to have sustainable（可持续的） lifestyles.‎ ‎ It’s important to understand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life. Each person’s decision can finally affect the future. These decisions, all combined, can have a very good effect on what the future will be like for humans. So the future depends on the choices we make at the present moment.‎ ‎ While more and more people are becoming aware of climate change and other environmental problems related to global warming, not all are fully understanding how far-reaching its effects will be. Unfortunately, most of the humans realize that the planet isn’t functioning well, but they don’t understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans.‎ ‎ So, every person should make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.‎ ‎32. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. The Causes of Planetary Changes ‎ B. The Influence of Ecological Devastation C. Reasons and Ways to Build a Sustainable Future ‎ D. Environmental Damage and the Human Future ‎33. We can learn from the first paragraph that_________‎ ‎ A. planetary changes are caused by global warming ‎ B. climate changes will affect the life of humans soon ‎ C. the ecological state of the earth has been destroyed ‎ D. most people have realized the danger of climate changes ‎34. What opinion does the author most probably hold?‎ ‎ A. Humans shouldn’t try to change their lifestyles.‎ ‎ B. The ecological devastation is coming to a stop soon.‎ ‎ C. The future we’ll have depends on every one of us.‎ ‎ D. The future of humans can be determined ahead of time.‎ ‎35. The author’s attitude in writing this text is _________.‎ ‎ A. grateful B. negative C. serious D. humorous 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ As a child grows up，you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult. ___36 A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others, but also learns to respect himself.‎ ‎◆ Show him respect.‎ This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others.
