89、一篇议论文。发明家究竟是天生的还是后天培养的呢？本文就此进行了分析。1.Who are most likely to become inventors?A.Boys with rich white parents.B.Girls with rich black parents.C.Girls with poor black parents.D.Boys with poor white parents.答案A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Children born to parents.to do so”可知，家境富裕的孩子比家境低于平均水平的孩子申请专利的可能性更大，男孩申请专利的可能性是女孩的

90、4倍，而白人孩子又是黑人孩子的3倍。故结合四个选项可知，应选A。2.What do the thirdgrade test scores in New York City public schools imply?A.The value of genes will be more striking over time.B.Genes are associated with an individuals background.C.Natural talent can influence a kids academic performance.D.Innate ability matters a

91、lot in a kids future achievements.答案C推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“To tease out this point.of innate(先天的)ability”可知，经济学家用纽约公立学校三年级学生的测试分数来粗略衡量天赋。由此可推知，天赋会影响一个孩子的学业表现，故选C。3.What mainly accounts for the fact that inventors kids are more likely to be inventors?A.Their schooling. B.Their neighbourhoods.C.Their genetic

92、 factors. D.Their environment.答案D推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Moreover，children of patentholding parents.individuals inventiveness actually”可知，拥有发明专利的父母的孩子更有可能成为发明家，这不仅仅是因为遗传的因素，还有一个更具决定性的因素。再结合第一段中的关键信息“the authors provide strong evidence that a childs surroundings matter more than his genes”和文中所举的其他影响孩子成为发明家的环境因

93、素(早期接触创新和发明者、拥有专利的父母、拥有专利的邻居等)可知，影响孩子成为发明家的更具决定性的因素是其所处的环境。故选D。4.Why is it unsurprising that MIT produces more inventors?A.Because its most teachers are inventors.B.Because its students work more diligently.C.Because it itself is a splendid engineering school.D.Because it brings in many advanced tea

94、ching facilities.答案C细节理解题。根据第四段的前两句“Selective colleges，and ones.most competitive engineering schools”可知，主修技术学科的学生比例较高的学校往往会培养出更多发明家，而MIT，Caltech和Harvey Mudd College这3所学校本身就是杰出的工程学校，他们的环境更有利于培养发明家，故选C。5.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_.A.boys in theory are more likely to become succes

95、sful inventorsB.girls inventiveness might hardly be inspired by male inventorsC.girls should receive the same education as boys in inventivenessD.boys inventiveness is more influenced by environment than girls答案B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“girls were only more likely.of the gender gap”可知，如果女孩在有许多女性发明家的地区长大，她们更有可

96、能成为发明家；如果女孩接触到一定数量的女性发明家，而男孩接触到相同数量的男性发明家，女孩的发明率将会猛增164%，而性别差异的影响是55%，即如果女孩接触到相同数量的男性发明家，其发明率的增长相比164%会降低55%。这暗示女孩更容易受到女性发明家的激励而非男性发明家的激励。故选B。6.What is the best title for the passage?A.Inventiveness Makes a Big Difference to Peoples SuccessB.Childhood Surroundings Matter More for Wouldbe InventorsC.

97、Family Backgrounds Contribute More to Individuals InventivenessD.People Should Balance Environment and Inventiveness答案B标题判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中点明文章主旨的“the authors provide strong evidence that a childs surroundings matter more than his genes”可知，本文主要讲的是相比基因因素，人们在童年时期所处的环境对他们是否能成为发明家影响更大。故B项作本文标题最佳。.阅读理解A(20

107、造草坪对动植物有害，而本段的最后一句则说明了人造草坪因其独特的优势而受到人们的追捧。结合这两句可知，人造草坪的盛行从侧面反映出人们缺乏对环境的关注与保护。故答案为D。2.What can be inferred from what Robert Redcliffe says?A.Wildlife is likely to be threatened.B.All enjoy the convenience of artificial lawns.C.He focuses on keeping the balance of ecology.D.Parents spend more time acc

108、ompanying children.答案A推理判断题。根据最后一段中Robert Redcliffe所说的“There are ecological benefits.running water or fertilizers”可知，Robert Redcliffe认为人造草坪有生态上的益处，从长期来看，人造草坪的影响敌不过不使用剪草机、水或肥料的消极影响，由此可推知，他认为人造草坪可能会威胁到野生动植物。3.The authors real purpose of writing the passage is to _.A.warn the public against damaging th
