It is a romantic story.BWhat exactly is intelligence? There arent any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made

17、in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the U

18、S have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them i

19、n the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautiou

20、s at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a boo

21、k called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isnt everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of

22、 multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthus

23、iastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the

24、 trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps theres hope for us all!24. What is the topic of the passage?A. The relationship between genes and intelligence.B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.C. How to develop intelligence.D. What makes intelligence.25. What can we learn from the passage?A. Rob

25、ert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various elements.C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.D. Tony Buzan is a follower of Howard Gardner as a psychologist. 26. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4

26、refer to?A. The development of intelligence.B. The idea of multiple intelligences.C. IQ isnt everything for intelligence.D. Alternative views have been put forward.27. Which of the following might Tony Buzan agree with? A. People with a different gene are often more successful. B. People with high I

27、Q have a tendency to be more creative. C. With more practice in brains, people can be more intelligent.D. Intelligence is made up of creativity and communication skills. CRumors: weve all heard some and weve all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they circulate

28、 differently because the way we share information has also changed.The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. We dont enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually dont have good intentions. They are somewhat veiled (掩饰的) messages.Norm

29、ally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox (自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish defining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a p

30、roven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Ch

31、ange: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the initial rumor.Another property of rumors is that they tend to become viral. Each receiver is at the same time a potential transmitter of the information. The receiver often adds their own opinion. Their manner and tone

32、of transmitting it also changes it.How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from communicating. A more realistic response is equally difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask

33、 ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefits someone, and if that someone started the rumor.One rumor to be especially cautious of is a rumor about groups relatively unab

34、le to defend themselves. Thats why we say, “history is always told by the victors.” The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victors version of the story.28.What can we learn about rumors?A. We have all heard some and believed them.B. Were happy to be the receiving end of them.C. Th

35、ey may have negative influence on society.D. They often hide good intentions in the messages.29.How are rumours like trees?A. Rumours keep changing, just as trees change their colour.B. Rumours are deeply rooted in reality, like tree roots in the earth.C. New rumours have gaps, like the space betwee

36、n tree branches.D. New rumours grow out of the original, like branches out of a trunk.30.What does the underlined word “viral” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Something easily spread.B. Something acceptable.C. Something easily defended.D. Something beneficial.31.Which of the following may the author

37、 agree with?A. It is easy to prevent people from spreading rumors.B. People are often active in judging the rumors critically.C. We should think about the hidden message of the rumors.D. Stories told by the victors are usually better worth trusting.DIt started during a yoga class. She felt a strange

38、 pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack.She didnt share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But o

39、n reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol (胆固醇) level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin (他汀) medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake m

40、edical news.While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet and they have very real bad consequences.False medica

41、l information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the “nocebo effect” (反安慰剂效应). Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention (干预) simply because they believe they will - thats the placebo effect (安慰剂效应). The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience ha

42、rmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report

43、 side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs.What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines (疫苗). False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates.Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation - many of whom refuse a

44、lternative therapies. “Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, theyre actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells,” one fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations (变异).Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I

45、 am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information.32. We can learn from Para

46、graph 2 that _.A. the woman paid little attention to her daily dietsB. the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the womans heart attackC. the symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the womanD. the woman didnt take the prescription due to fake medical news33. According to the passage, the placebo e

47、ffect functions because patients _.A. neglect necessary treatmentB. discontinue the harmful drugsC. believe the benefits of an interventionD. suffer more side effects34. What does the author mean by claiming that he is not a free-speech lawyer in the last paragraph?A. He is a lawyer very easy to spe

48、ak to.B. He is good at speaking because of his job.C. He is available to give a speech on the law.D. He is very cautious when speaking something.35. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. remind us to take medication as prescribedB. warn us against fake medical news on the InternetC. encourage j
