III. 阅读理解 Passage 1 There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. 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 order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual – the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped (妨碍) 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 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 separate foster homes (寄养家庭). Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor 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 stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s IQ was 125, 25 points higher than the average and fully 40 points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level. This passage can be best titled ________.
A、How the brain influences intelligence
B、The case of Peter and Mark
C、Measuring your intelligence
D、Intelligence and environment
A、planning
B、controlling
C、budgeting
D、analyzing
Passage two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage Female applicants to postdoctoral positions in geosciences were nearly half as likely to receive excellent letters of recor ompared with their male counterparts. christopher intagliata report. As in many other fields, gender bias is widespread in the sciences. men score higher starting salaries, have more mentoring (指导), and have better odds of being hired. studies nigher starting also perceived as more competent than women in stem(science, technology, enging,and Mathematics) fields. and new research reveals that men are more likely to receive excellent letters of recommendation, too. "Say, you know, this is the best student I've ever had, "says kuheli dutt, a social scientist and diversity officer at columbia university's lamont campus. "compare those excellent letters with a merely good letter: 'the candidate was productive, or intelligent, or a solid scientist or something that's clearly.solid praise, 'but nothing that singles out the candidate as exceptional ot one of a kind." Dutt and her colleagues studied more than 1,200 letters of recommendation for postdoctor at positions in geoscience.they were all edited for gender and other idetifying information,so dutt and her team could assign them a scoer without knowing the gender of the student. they found that and women, th udes letters of recommendation from all over the world, and written by, yes,he findings are in the ioumal nature geoscience. Dutt says they were not able to evaluate the actual scientific qualificati f the apsing the data in the files. but she says the results still suggest women in geoscience are at apotential disadvantage from the very beginning of their careers starting with those less than out-standing letters of recommendation. 3we re not trying to assign blame or criticize anyone or call anyone conscious Its of this study to open up meaningful dialogues on implicit gender bias. be it at a departmental level or an institutional level or even a discipline level "which may lead to some recommendations for the letter writers themselves what do we learn about applicants to postdoctoral positions in geosciences?A.there are many more men applying than women

B.fewer women are applying for postdoctoral positions due to gender bias
C.men are believed to be better able to excel in stem disciplines.

What did dutt and her colleagues do with the more than 1, 200 letters of recommendation?A.they asked unbiased scholars to evaluate them dit them
B.they invited women professionais to edit them.
C.them assigned them randomly to reviewers

what does dutt aim to do with her study?A.raise recommendation writers' awareness of gender bias in their letters
B.open up fresh avenues for women post-doctors to join in research work
C.alert women researchers to all types of gender bias in the stem disciplines
D.start a public discussion on how to raise womens status in academic circles

B.they contain nothing that distinguishes the applicants
C.they provide objective information without exaggerat
D.they are often filled with praise for exceptional applicants
Passage Two Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. Biologists believe that love is fundamentally a biological rather than a cultural construct. That is because the capacity for love is found in all human cultures and similar behavior is found in some other animals. But what does science have to say about the notion of love at first sight? In recent years the ability to watch the brain in action has offered a wealth of insight into the mechanics of love. Researchers have shown that when a person falls in love a dozen different parts of the brain work together to release chemicals that trigger feelings of euphoria (愉快), bonding and excitement. It has also been shown that the unconditional love between a mother and a child is associated with activity in different regions of the brain from those associated with sexual, pair-bonding love. In fact, the desires, motivations and withdrawals involved in love have a great deal in common with addiction. What this means is that one special person can become chemically rewarding to the brain of another. Love at first sight, then, is only possible if the mechanism for generating long-term attachment can be triggered quickly. There are signs that it can be. One line of evidence is that people are able to decide within a fraction of a second how attractive they find another person. Ayala, a psychologist at Ben-Gurion University, also found in a survey that a small fraction (11%) of people in long-term relationships said that they began with love at first sight. It is also clear that some couples need to form their bonds over a longer period, and popular culture tells many tales of friends who become lovers. One might also speculate that if a person is looking for a partner with traits that cannot be quantified instantly, such as compassion, intellect or a good sense of humor, then it would be hard to form a relationship on the basis of love at first sight. Those more concerned only with visual appearances, though, might find this easier. So it appears that love at first sight exists, but is not a very common basis for long-term relationships. 16.
