9、nd promising C. risky and exciting D. poor and depressingDAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough，the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth，and
10、no amount of special 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 a persons intelligence are fixed at birth
11、，but 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 say that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they
12、are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees 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
13、brothers and sisters，parents and children，usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine that now 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 wh
14、ere 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 eac h other, but who are not related at all, are likely to ha
15、ve similar degrees of intelligence.67. By using the example that two people closer in blood relationship are closer in intelligence that writer wants to prove _ .A. intelligence is given at birthB. intelligence can be developed by environmentC. intelligence can be developed by experience来源Z+xx+k.Com
16、D. education plays an important part in the development of education68.

19、he Answer to a Question D. Intelligence and EducationE Some futurologists have assumed that the vast increase of women in the workforce may portend（预示）a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The opposite of this concern is that the outlook of
20、becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to
21、 put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life, the number of marriages also rises. The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump t
22、o any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The effect of a wifes work on divorce is no less cloudy than its effect on marriage decisions. The realiza tion that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an un satisfactory marriage. But the revers
23、e is equally plausible（似是而非的）. Tensions grounded in financial problems oft en play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a familys standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her familys financial and emotional stability. Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wi
24、fe blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union. Also, a major part of
25、womens inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it cou
26、ld create new insecurities.71. It is said in the passage that when the economy moves to a worse situation, _. A. men would choose working women as their marriage partners B. more women would get married to seek financial security C. even working women would worry about their marriages D. more people

If women find fulfillment through work outside the home, _. A. they are more likely to control their marriage partners
28、 B. their husbands are expected to do more housework C. their marriage ties can be strengthened D. they tend to put their career before marriage74. One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that _. A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedom B. they are afraid of being b
29、ossed around by their husbands C. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectations D. they tend to suspect their husbands loyalty to their marriage75. Which of the following statements can best summarize the authors view in the passage? A. The stability of marriage and the divorce
30、 rate may reflect the economic situation of the country. B. Even when economically independent, most women have to struggle for real equality in marriage. C. In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home and remain independent. D. The effect of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.第二卷(共35分) 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文填词（共2014小题；每小题1分，满分2014分）阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2
