【语篇导读】本文讨论了什么是天才。过去的天才划分标准是由胜利者决定的，十分不公平。作者认为天才的划分不应由性别、种族和阶层等因素决定，未来的天才应是能够改变世界的人。
1. A推理判断题。根据第三段第一句和第三句可知，历史是由胜利者来书写的，天才划分的标准也是他们制定的，带有他们的主观意愿，所以当初胜利者划分的天才群体往往是欧洲裔的白人男性;再根据第三段最后一句When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club—wmen，r peple f a different clr r belief—they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.可知，胜利者设立的天才俱乐部拒绝接纳女性或其他肤色人种或其他信仰群体的天才。根据全文作者对天才的观点可推断，作者并不支持这种涉及性别和种族的划分标准，因此这种标准在作者看来应该是不公平的。故选A项。
2. D推理判断题。根据第四段中的Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief: Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are “really, really smart.” 可知，女孩们会根据这样一种观念行事，即六岁左右就开始不去参加那些被人们认为只适合“非常，非常聪明的”孩子们的活动。由此可推知，女孩们很容易受到社会观念的影响。故选D项。
3. A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin，we’re all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear.可知，越来越多的天才被大众知晓与持续不断的全球交流有关。故选A项。
4. B主旨大意题。综观全文可知，本文主要论述的是天才的划分标准，且最后一段最后两句点明了主题，说明天才的划分不应由性别、种族和阶层等因素决定，未来的天才体现在智力、创造力、毅力等多种方面，因此天才的形式有很多种。故选B项。
【微技能】主旨大意题的解题技巧
主旨大意题要求学生能够把握文章的总体，并真正理解主题和中心;要求能较好地运用概括、判断、归纳、推理等逻辑思维方法解题，难度较大，属于高层次题。一般主旨大意题可以分为两种：①确定文章的标题和主题:标题位于文章之首，用来高度概括文章内容，点明文章主题。②主题句及主旨大意的概括:一篇文章一般表达一个中心内容或者主题。这个中心内容或者主题通常用一个句子来概括，此句叫主题句。一般来说，说明文和议论文都有主题句，而且多位于文章的开头，有时也位于文章的中间或末尾。
