阅读下列短文,然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选项中选出最佳的一项,并将正确答案填涂在答题卡上。
Passage 1
Many people are frightened by spiders. They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.
Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula(狼蛛). They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think,
poisonous spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but is will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.
Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them.
They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes(窗玻璃)because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.

Passage 4
There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others do. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he had
opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to individual, the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brain at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents dies, and
19
they were placed in separate foster home. Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence in an isolated 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 to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I. Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than would have tested at roughly the same level.
48、The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _______. A:human brains differ considerably
B:the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence C:environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligence
D:person's having identical brains will have roughly same intelligence 答案:C
49、According to the passage, the average I. Q. is _______. A:85 B:100 C:110 D:135 答案:B
50、The case history of the twins appears 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:lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
D:changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain 答案:C
51、This passages suggests that an individual's I. Q. _______.
A:can be predicted at birth B:stays the same throughout his life C:can be increased by education D:is determined by his childhood 答案:C
