Question

【題目】 Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence(智力）of others.

Some people have minds that stand out only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for (摸索）words and talks in a halting (躊躇的）manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently (雄辯地,有說服力地).

Other people may fool you into overestimating (過高估計(jì))their intelligence by putting up a good front(舉止). A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.

It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(觀察） how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(正確的) your judgement is likely to be.

本片是一篇記敘文。主要探討了如何判斷一個(gè)人的智力水平。文章描寫了一個(gè)在寫作上有天賦的年輕人，一遇到女孩就會(huì)縮頭縮腦，笨嘴拙舌，但是這卻不能說明他不聰明；也描寫了一個(gè)專心聽講并做筆記的學(xué)生一定會(huì)給他的老師留下良好的印象，但當(dāng)考試的時(shí)候，他不能取得好的分?jǐn)?shù)。通過文章，我們明白了判斷一個(gè)人的智力需要多觀察他對(duì)于不同情形的反應(yīng)，告誡我們請(qǐng)勿以貌取人，更不能僅憑外貌來判斷一個(gè)人的智力。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Never judge a book by its cover”“從不以書的封面來評(píng)價(jià)這本書”和“This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others.”“當(dāng)試圖判斷別人的智力，這是一個(gè)很好的規(guī)則”�？芍�本文主要講述不要以貌取人。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently”“但不要誤以為他愚蠢。他能用筆和紙雄辯地表達(dá)自己�！笨芍�，文中提及的這個(gè)年輕人不是愚蠢，而是擅長(zhǎng)寫作，是一個(gè)有才華的作家。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(觀察） how he reacts to different situations.”決定一個(gè)人智力的唯一方法是了解他。然后你可以觀察他對(duì)不同情況的反應(yīng)�？芍獙�(duì)一個(gè)人智力的真正了解來自于他在不同情況下的行為。故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgement is likely to be.”你觀察到的情況越多，你的判斷就越準(zhǔn)確。可知判斷一個(gè)人的智力要多觀察，要小心。故選A。
