10、 answer the questions below each text by choosing a, b, c or d. mark your answers on answer sheet 1. (40 points) test 1 if you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006s world cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more lik

11、ely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months. if you then examined the european national youth teams that feed the world cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be even more pronounced. what might account for this strange phenomenon?

12、here are a few guesses: a) certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills; b) winter-born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, at the annual peak of soccer mania; d) none of the

13、 above. anders ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at florida state university, says he believes strongly in “none of the above. ericsson grew up in sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychol

14、ogy. his first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. “with the first subject, after about 20 hours of training, his digit span had risen from 7 to 20, ericsson recalls. “he kept improving, and after about 200 hours of

15、training he had risen to over 80 numbers. this success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not genetically determined, led ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. in other words, whatever inborn differences two peo

16、ple may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are swamped by how well each person “encodes the information. and the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, ericsson determined, was a process known as deliberate practice. deliberate practice entails more than sim

17、ply repeating a task. rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome. ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits, including soccer. they gather all the data they

18、can, not just performance statistics and biographical details but also the results of their own laboratory experiments with high achievers. their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. or, put another way, expert performerswhether in memory or

19、 surgery, ballet or computer programmingare nearly always made, not born. 21. the birthday phenomenon found among soccer players is mentioned to?a stress the importance of professional training. ?b spotlight the soccer superstars in the world cup. ?c introduce the topic of what makes expert performa

20、nce. ?d explain why some soccer teams play better than others. 22. the word “mania (line 4, paragraph 2) most probably means ?a fun. ?b craze. ?c hysteria. ?d excitement. 23. according to ericsson, good memory ?a depends on meaningful processing of information. ?b results from intuitive rather than

21、cognitive exercises. ?c is determined by genetic rather than psychological factors. ?d requires immediate feedback and a high degree of concentration. 24. ericsson and his colleagues believe that ?a talent is a dominating factor for professional success. ?b biographical data provide the key to excel

22、lent performance. ?c the role of talent tends to be overlooked. ?d high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture. 25. which of the following proverbs is closest to the message the text tries to convey? ?a “faith will move mountains. ?b “one reaps what one sows. ?c “practice makes perfect. ?d “i

23、 like father like son. text 2 for the past several years, the sunday newspaper supplement parade has featured a column called “ask marilyn. people are invited to query marilyn vos savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old; that gave her an iq of 228-the highest

24、 score ever recorded. iq tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce numerical sequences, among other similar tasks. so it is a bit confusing when vos savant fields such queries from the average joe (whose iq is 100) as. wh

25、ats the difference between love and fondness? or what is the nature of luck and coincidence? its not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers. clearly, intelligence encomp

26、asses more than a score on a test. just what does it mean to be smart? how much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we learn about it from neurology, genetics, computer science and other fields? the defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the iq score, even though iq

27、 tests are not given as often as they used to be. the test comes primarily in two forms: the stanford-binet intelligence scale and the wechsler intelligence scales (both come in adult andchildrens version).generally costing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, altho

28、ugh variations of them populate bookstores and the world wide web. superhigh scores like vos savants are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers, rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 1

29、00. other standardized tests, such as the scholastic assessment test (sat) and the graduate record exam (gre), capture the main aspects of iq tests. such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues robert j. sternberg. in his articl

30、e “how intelligent is intelligence testing?, sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. moreover, iq tests do not necessarily predict so well onc

31、e populations or situations change. research has found that iq predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions. iq was negatively correlated with leadershipthat is, it predicted the opposite. anyone who has toiled through sat will t

32、estify that test-taking skill also matters, whether its knowing when to guess or what questions to skip. 26. which of the following may be required in an intelligence test? ?a answering philosophical questions. ?b folding or cutting paper into different shapes. ?c telling the differences between cer

33、tain concepts. ?d choosing words or graphs similar to the given ones. 27. what can be inferred about intelligence testing from paragraph 3? ?a people no longer use iq scores as an indicator of intelligence. ?b more versions of iq tests are now available on the internet. ?c the test contents and form

34、ats for adults and children may be different. ?d scientists have defined the important elements of human intelligence. 28. people nowadays can no longer achieve iq scores as high as vos savants because ?a the scores are obtained through different computational procedures. ?b creativity rather than a

35、nalytical skills is emphasized now. ?c vos savants case is an extreme one that will not repeat. ?d the defining characteristic of iq tests has changed. 29. we can conclude from the last paragraph that ?a test scores may not be reliable indicators of ones ability. ?b iq scores and sat results are hig

36、hly correlated. ?c testing involves a lot of guesswork. ?d traditional tests are out of date. 30. what is the authors attitude towards iq tests? ?a supportive. ?b skeptical.?c impartial. ?d biased. text 3 during the past generation, the american middle-class family that once could count on hard work

37、 and fair play to keep itself financially secure has been transformed by economic risk and new realities. now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months. in just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to w

39、a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback-a back-up earner (usually mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off on fell sick. this “added-worker effect could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability in
