There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ greatly, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual —the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is disabled environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never gain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be shown by the case of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were 3 months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes. Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence in an isolated(孤立的) community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was brought up in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity. The difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they’ve given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s IQ was 125.25 points higher than the average and fully 40 points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
1.This selection can best be titled__________.
A. Measuring Your Intelligence
B. Intelligence and Environment
C. The Case of Peter and Mark
D. How the Brain Influences Intelligence
2. Of the following statements, which best gives the main idea of the passage?
A. Human brains differ greatly.
B. The brain the person is born with is important in determining his intelligence.
C. Environment is vital in determining a person’s intelligence.
D. Persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence.
3. We can infer that people who are “identical”__________.
A. look exactly alike
B. don’t look alike
C. are brought up in the same family
D. are born in the same family
4. The case mentioned in the passage seems to support the conclusion that__________.
A. individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same level
B. an individual’s intelligence is determined only by his environment
C. children brought up under average conditions possess average intelligence
D. lack of opportunity prevents the growth of intelligence
5. The passage suggests that an individual’s IQ__________.
A. can be increased by education
B. is passed down from his parents
C. stays the same throughout his life
D. can be predicted at birth

"It's this time of year when the weather starts warming up and frogs start breeding - but they haven't been breeding," says John Wilkinson, research and monitoring officer at the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust (ARC).
Amphibians (兩棲動物) are just one of the groups of animals that nature observers fear may have problems reproducing this year, as groundwater levels are even lower now than in the infamously dry summer of 1976, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). According to the UK's Centre for Hydrology and Ecology the average rainfall so far this winter has been the lowest since 1972.
"If ponds dry up totally," says Mr. Wilkinson, "you could have lots of dead tadpoles." Drier and windier conditions could also make it more difficult for juvenile amphibians to survive their journeys between wet habitats.
But Peter Brotherton, the biodiversity manager for Natural England, says that "drought is part of nature's cycle", and, at present, a lot of animals, plants and insects are still in hibernation. This means that the population picture is unclear. "However, when we get extreme events, we get animals dying," he says. "And what is worrying is that normally at this time of year we expect soil to be near saturation(濕潤)after winter."
Charlie Kitchin, the RSPB's site manager of the Nene Washes in Cambridgeshire, says the 2,000-acre wetland and grassland area is now struggling following two winters with relatively little winter rain and no flooding. One species that could suffer, he says, is the black-tailed godwit(黑尾豫). "There are only 50 breeding pairs in the country, and we have 40 of them, and everything is bone-dry," Mr Kitchin says.
But one bad nesting season, he says, is "not the end of the world". "One of the features of flood plains is that they're volatile anyway," he adds. "But if they fail to breed another year, the population is likely to dip again."
【小題1】According to the passage animals may have problems reproducing this year mainly due to _____.
A.drought | B.hibernation | C.windier conditions | D.extreme events |
A.drought is part of nature’s cycle | B.a(chǎn)nimals are still in hibernation |
C.soil at this time is far from saturation | D.the population of animals is still unclear |
A.Drought has so far continued for two winters. |
B.Animals could survive one bad nesting season. |
C.The black-tailed godwit is in danger of extinction. |
D.40 black-tailed godwits live in the Nene Washes. |
A.losing water | B.undergoing changes |
C.breeding animals | D.suffering flood |
A.groundwater levels this summer are lower than those of 1976 |
B.the average rainfall this year has been the lowest since 1972 |
C.windier conditions could also cause some amphibians’ death |
D.flooding plays no useful role in wetlands and grasslands |
