推理判断题。根据第二段But at the same time, observed the writer John Leo, a large number of Americans were “computerphobes” (电脑恐惧者) and “techno-peasants”, who feared that computers were “designed to destroy privacy, eliminate jobs, carry the TV generation even further away from literacy, read few words on food boxes so that the grocer can cheat his customers more easily, and allow World War III to be launched entirely by technical error.”整句话的意思是：“但是与此同时，作者John Leo也发现很多美国人都是电脑恐惧者或者对科技一窍不通的人，他们担心电脑会破坏他们的隐私，减少就业机会，让现在沉迷于电视的一代人更加丧失读写能力，连看食品包装盒上的文字都几乎看不懂，商人们更容易欺骗顾客，甚至会因为科技错误引发第三次世界大战。”可见他们希望的是更多的隐私，更多的工作以及更高的文化，故选D。

细节判断题。根据第四段的第一句话Today those same executives and journalists who feared computers wouldn’t be found without having their portable computers on their laps.此句是一个双重否定句子，用not ? without强调电脑的重要性。在翻译的时候一般翻译成主动语态。整句话的意思是：“如今，人们会发现那些之前对电脑恐惧的管理人员和记者们，往往大腿上放着便携式电脑一边工作着。”作者用双重否定表示他们现在走到哪儿都离不开他们的笔记本电脑了。故选择C。

阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。
Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and 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 person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reached 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 show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus
if we take two unrelated people at random from the population it is likely that their degree 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 brothers and sisters, parents and
children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that 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 where 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 each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
