Ⅰ. 阅读理解A　　Twelve-year-ld Nishi Uggalle, the new champin f Channel 4’s Child Genius shw is said t have an IQ “higher than Einstein’s”. It sunds impressive, but des that cmparisn actually mean anything and hw seriusly shuld we take IQ as a measurement f intellectual capacity? The immediate prblem is that n ne knws what Einstein’s IQ was, even including himself . It is assumed he wuld have an IQ scre f 160+. When Nishi was tested almst three years ag by Mensa, a membership rganizatin fr peple with very high IQs, she scred 162—the highest pssible scre in the test she was taking.
　　The numbers are purely nrmative(标准的): the test-taker’s perfrmance is scred against the average fr the same age grup, based n a series f tests that usually cncentrate n pattern recgnitin, lgic and prblem-slving ability. The standard fr the whle grup is 100, and mst peple fall int a range between 70 and 130. Only 2. 5% cnsidered t have an IQ abve 130. Mensa nly accepts members wh are in the tp 2% f thse tested.
　　The aim f an IQ test is nt t measure knwledge, but the individual’s ability t learn and their speed in absrbing infrmatin. Having zer spatial(空间的)awareness, I lk dwn n them, since they expse me as stupid—I nce came bttm in an army intelligence test t determine whether I was ptential fficer material. Experts differ wildly n whether IQ tests are reliable. Sme have full faith in them. All we can say with certainty is that they test a particular, narrw definitin f intelligence—the ability t prblem-slve under pressure.
　　The Mensa spkeswman claims there is a strng cnnectin between high IQ and gd health, lngevity(长寿) and career success, but she als accepts a high IQ can prduce scial lneliness. One f Mensa’s aims is t bring tgether “gifted” children because their general chrt(同龄人)may find them a little dd. I knw many chess players wh are brilliant prblem-slvers but can barely deal with “real” life. What is intelligence? That remains the key, unanswered questin.
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过一个据说比爱因斯坦智商还高的12岁小女孩为开头, 引出智商测试法, 阐述了智商测试并不涵盖智力的所有方面, 表达了自己对智商测试不赞成的态度。1. What can we infer frm Paragraph 1? A. Einstein’s IQ was nt tested. B. Nishi is smarter than Einstein. C. Mensa is nn-prfit rganizatin. D. The average IQ f a Mensa member is 160.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第一段的“The immediate prblem is that n ne knws what Einstein’s IQ was, even including himself. It is assumed he wuld have an IQ scre f 160+. ”可知, 没人知道爱因斯坦的智商究竟是多少, 包括他自己, 人们只是推测他的智商有160多, 因此可推断没测试过他的智商。
2. What d we knw abut IQ tests? A. Experts agree that they are reliable. B. The numbers f IQ tests are nt standardized. C. They d nt include every aspect f intelligence. D. They are designed t test the individual’s knwledge. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第三段的“All we can say with certainty is that they test a particular, narrw definitin f intelligence—the ability t prblem-slve under pressure. ”可知, 智商测试不涵盖智力的所有方面。
3. What is the authr’s attitude tward IQ tests? A. Unfavrable. 　　　　B. Apprving. C. Uncaring. D. Psitive. 【解析】选A。观点态度题。根据第三段的“I lk dwn n them, since they expse me as stupid”可知, 作者对智商测试是不赞成的。
4. Accrding t the text, a persn with a high IQ may _________.  A. be less healthyB. have a pr scial lifeC. find it hard t succeedD. die at an early age【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据最后一段的“. . . but she als accepts a high IQ can prduce scial lneliness. One f Mensa’s aims is t bring tgether ’gifted’ children because their general chrt may find them a little dd. ”可知, 高智商的人可能不合群, 社交能力差。
B　　A grup f university prfessrs recently created a scanner they believe can predict the perfect jb fr anyne—simply by lking at their fingerprints. The grup says that in the future, fingerprints culd help tell a persn’s key persnalities. T use the scanner, peple place their fingers upn the fingerprint reader and cmputer technlgy cnnected up t sensrs(传感器)reads back what srt f wrk wuld suit the individual.
　　The machine bases its results n a cllectin f a large amunt f infrmatin in the cmputer abut hw fingerprint shapes cnnect t jb selectin. 　　Lcal cmpanies help researchers frm the city’s Kuban University f Physical Educatin and Sprt t test the technlgy. Twenty-ne-year-ld Oscar Galkin, a mathematics graduate, said, “I gt the result frm the scanner that I wuld be suited t a jb in IT, which is exactly what I want t d. I dn’t knw if it is luck r if it can really read a persn’s talents, but it wrked fr me. ”
　　And Zara Tkareva, aged 20, wh feels uncmfrtable at the sight f bld, said, “I want t be a huse designer but the machine said I shuld be a nurse. S, n, I dn’t think it is as clever as it is being made ut. ”　　Thugh fingerprint identificatin has been widely used in crime discvering, it is still a science that has a lt f pssibility f being used, say experts, frm discvering drug misuse t persnality analysis—exactly as hand readers have been saying t d fr centuries. “The basic idea is that althugh everybdy’s fingerprints are cmpletely different, there are bvius features that are cmmn n the fingers f certain prfessinals wrking in certain jbs, ”said researcher Ravil Yudin.
　　“It’s nt really a new idea because hand readers have been saying fr hundreds f years that yu can tell a persn’s future by reading their hands. We want t match that by lking at fingerprints and trying t tell what career path peple wuld chse. ”
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。科学家们称他们研制出了可以根据指纹预测未来职业的指纹扫描仪, 本文介绍了这种扫描仪的工作原理及测试情况。5. Frm the text we knw that the fingerprint scanner _________.  A. matches fingerprints t jbsB. tells peple’s charactersC. helps cllect jb infrmatinD. reads individuals’ mind【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第一、二段的介绍可知, 指纹扫描仪是根据指纹预测职业。
6. What can we infer frm the 5th and 6th paragraphs? A. The fingerprint scanner has been used in jb hunting. B. The fingerprint scanner is ppular with yung men. C. The fingerprint scanner helps cmpanies a lt. D. The fingerprint scanner needs t be imprved. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。第六段提到, 参与测试的这个人认为指纹扫描仪预测的职业跟她的实际情况不符, 据此推知, 指纹扫描仪还有待改进。
7. What can we learn frm what Ravil Yudin said? A. The fingerprint scanner is based n a new idea. B. Certain peple’s fingers actually have smething in cmmn. C. Telling ne’s future by reading his hands started a few years ag. D. The technlgy f fingerprint identificatin can be used in many fields. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“. . . there are bvius features that are cmmn n the fingers f certain prfessinals wrking in certain jbs”可知答案。
8. What is the purpse f the text? A. T tell the future f hand readers. B. T shw the features f fingerprints. C. T intrduce a technical prduct. D. T help jb hunters. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。本文主要介绍了科学家们研制出的据说能预测职业的指纹扫描仪。指纹扫描仪属于科技产品, 故C项为最佳答案。
