Ⅰ.阅读理解
Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, brother, sister or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you smarter.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 analysed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables”.He found a bright tenyearold with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a fivetoten 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 socialise with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.
1.What can be learnt from the text?
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.
2.What does the underlined word “nosedive” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.Vary. B.Develop.
C.Change. D.Fall.
3.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.
4.What's the purpose of the text?
A.To inform. B.To advertise.
C.To entertain. D.To persuade.
[语篇导读] 本文介绍了关于智商的新发现:人的智商并不是成年之后就固定不变了,和聪明的人在一起能使自己变得更聪明。
1.D [细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members,bright mates and intellectually challenging careers.可知从事具有智力挑战性的工作可以提高智商,故此题选D项。]
2.D [词义猜测题。根据前文中讲的“大脑就像肌肉,用得越多就越强健”以及该句中的However,the opposite is also true(但是,反之亦然)可知,此处表示如果大脑得不到锻炼,智商就会下降的情况。画线句意为不管在家中还是在工作场所,如果跟不聪明的人待在一起,智商就有可能下降。因此画线单词应是“下降”的意思。]
3.B [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialise with bright friends,and find an intellectually challenging job.可知,弗林教授认为,和聪明人待在一起有助于提高智商水平。]
4.A [推理判断题。综观全文可知,文章主要给读者介绍了关于智商研究的新发现,没有广告内容或试图说服读者,也没有额外的娱乐性。故选A项]
Ⅱ.阅读填句
Hydration (水合作用) sometimes takes a back seat to other health goals or priorities (优先事项).Here's something you need to know to stay hydrated.
Know why water is good for you
Doctors and dietitians always talk about the importance of hydration.The cells, tissues, and organs of your body need water to function. ____1____ , which include transporting nutrients and helping to remove waste.Water is so important that the average human body only lasts about three to four days without it.
____2____
There is no perfect calculation to determine how much water you should drink a day.There are too many contributing factors, such as altitude, climate, activity level, diet, and personal medical history. ____3____ ,your body needs more fluid to process the food.
So how much water should you drink a day? On average the daily recommended fluid intake for women is around 11 glasses of water and 13 glasses for men.Plain water is ideal for hydration, but all fluid helps.
Know whether you need water
An easy way to see if you are drinking enough water is to check your urine (尿液).If you are only producing small amounts of urine infrequently and it's dark in colour, you need to drink more water.Of course, if you have dry mouth or thirst, you should drink more water, too. ____4____
Know how you can drink enough water
Worrying and wondering how much water you should drink a day won't happen if you break up your water intake.Drink 18 ounces of water at 7:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. ____5____ .By the time you're thirsty, you're likely already dehydrated.And thirst isn't always a reliable indicator of fluid needs, especially for children and the elderly.
A.If you eat a highfibre diet
B.Water plays many vital roles
C.If you eat less food than usual
D.Know how much water you need
E.Know where you can get the water
F.Don't rely on your thirst to remind yourself to drink water
G.How much water you should drink a day depends on situations
[语篇导读] 本文为一篇说明文,介绍了一些饮水方面的知识。
1.B [根据设空后的which include transporting nutrients and helping to remove waste可知,此处应是说水有很多重要的作用,故选B项。]
2.D [设空处是小标题,应与文章中其他小标题的形式一致。根据该标题下的how much water you should drink a day可知,本段主要讲的是饮水量的问题。故选D项。]
3.A [根据设空后说你的身体需要更多的水来处理这种食物可知,该空应是说这种食物的类别,A项(如果你吃高纤维的食物)符合语境,故选A项。]
4.G [根据本段中前面用来列举的两个复合句可知,前文对何种情况下需要多饮水进行了说明,该空位于段末,应总结本段,故选G项。]
5.F [根据后文By the time you're thirsty,you're likely already dehydrated.And thirst isn't always a reliable indicator of fluid needs,especially for children and the elderly.可知,依靠口渴感来饮水不可靠,故选F项。]
