（C）
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
43. Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?
A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
44. It is suggested in this passage that_______.
A. close relation usually have similar intelligence
B. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence

本文是一篇说明文。这个世界上的人们，有的聪明，有的愚蠢。短文介绍了一个人的智力极限在出生时就确定了，他是否达到这些极限将取决于他所处的环境。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. 尽管人在出生时候的智力是有限的，他是否能够突破这些限制取决于他所处的环境。由此判断出D选项“智力在出生时是固定的，但它会随着环境而发展”最能描述作者的观点。故选D
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句 The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.可知，两个人之间的血缘关系越近，他们的智力可能更相近。由此判断出亲密的关系通常有相似的智力。故选A项。
【45题详解】
词句猜测题。根据所在短语前一句我们知道两个人之间的血缘关系越近，他们的智力可能更相近。在根据第二段it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different可知，如果我们在人群中…的选择两个无关联的人，他们的智力水平可能完全不同。故可以推测，，at random是aimless“无目的的”的意思。故选C项。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。这个世界上的人们，有的聪明，有的愚蠢。短文介绍了一个人的智力极限在出生时就确定了，他是否达到这些极限将取决于他所处的环境。所以本文是针对人的智力以及其影响因素进行了解说，所以短文的最佳标题是关于智力。故选B

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” ___47___.
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time ___48___. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad （少年） offered to take his place. ___49___.
This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself. If the lad had gone home to ponder （考虑） his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well. Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）.When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. ___50___. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章说明各了找到心仪的工作几种方法。
【47题详解】
根据上文“How do I get a good job?”人们是怎么找工作的；再根据下一段中的描述：有的人通过报纸，有的人发邮件，有的人面对面地方式找工作，此处应为过渡句，承接上文，引起下文，B. People find jobs in an infinite number of ways. 人们通过各种各样的方式找工作。符合语境。故填B。
【48题详解】
根据下文He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them.可知，他过去常常把许多空闲时间花在海上观看高大的船只上，但从来没有想过有一天他会驾驶其中的一艘。所以选项承接下文。D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor. 举一个想要当水手的年轻男人的例子。符合语境。故选D。
【49题详解】
根据上文Without stopping to think the lad （少年） offered to take his place.，少年好不犹豫的接替了他的位置。承接上文，故F选项驾驶着他热爱的船只，高兴地渡过余生。符合语境。故选F。
【50题详解】
根据上文Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）有的人打破常规也能得到美差。选项与上一句为转折关系。E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults. 但是有一个人通过告诉面试官公司所有的缺点而得到了一份很好的工作。符合语境。故选E。
【点睛】此类阅读题要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，上下句之间的连贯性、一致性等语段特征都是解题的关键。如此篇文章的四个选项均为承上启下的功能句，结合文章上下文内容，即可选出正确答案。
