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 reared. If an individual is handicapped envionmentally ,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 intellingence 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. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated munity 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 enviromental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tesets to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level. 32.This selection can best be titled_________. A. Measuring Your Intelligence B. Intelligence and Environment C. The Case of Peter and Mark

D. How the brain Influences Intelligence

33. According to the passage , the average I.Q.is _____. A. 85 B. 100 C. 110 D. 125

34.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______. A. individual with identical brains seldom test at same level B. an individual's intelligence is determined only by his enviroment C. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence

D. changes of enviroment produce changes in the structure of the brain 35.This passage suggests that an individual 's I.Q.______.

A. can be predicted at birth B. stays the same throuthout his life C. can be increased by education D. is determined by his childhood 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分；满分10分）

根据短文内容，从所给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。

Empathy

Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __36__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.

Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, peting, and generally treating one another with no respect. __37__

There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __38__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.

Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top panies report

that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __39__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.

What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __40__

To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.

A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.

B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers

said.

C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,”

Freed says.

D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic. E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and

how they feel.

F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will

help you succeed in many areas of life.

G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy

is decisive to those relationships.
