20．The summer Museum in Philadelphia houses one exhibit near the entrance that inspires unmatchable awe．Look closely at the display，and you can see marks left by museum goers pressing their foreheads against the glass．
The object that fascinates them is a small wooden box containing 46 microscope slides，each displaying a slice of Albert Einstein's brain．A magnifying glass positioned over one of the slides reveals a piece of tissue about the size of a stamp．Einstein's brain represents potential，the ability of one exceptional mind，one genius，to catapult ahead of everyone else．
Throughout history rare individuals have stood out for their meteoric contributions to a field．Lady Murasaki for her literary creation．Michelangelo for his masterful touch．Marie Curie for her scientific acuity．"The genius，"wrote German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer，"lights on his age like a comet into the paths of the planets．"Consider Einstein's impact on physics．With no tools available other than the force of his own thoughts，he predicted in his general theory of relativity that massive accelerating objects---like black holes orbiting each other-would create ripples（波紋）in the fabric of space-time．It took one hundred years，enormous computational power，and massively sophisticated technology to definitively prove him right，with the physical detection of such gravitational waves less than two years ago．
Einstein revolutionized our understanding of the very laws of the universe．But our understanding of how a mind like his works remains stubbornly stagnant．What set his brainpower，his thought processes，apart from those of his merely brilliant peers？What makes a genius？
Philosohers have long been puzzling over the origins of genius．Early Greek thinkers believed an overabundance of black bile-one of proposed by Hippocrates-endowed poets，philosophers，and other famous souls with"extraordinary powers，"says historian Darrin McMahon，author of Divine Fury：A History of Genius．Phrenologists（骨相學(xué)家）attempted to find genius in bumps on the head； they collected skulls-including philosopher Immanuel Kant's-which they examined，measured，and weighed．
None of them discovered a single source of genius，and such a thing is unlikely to be found．Genius is too abstract，too subjective，too wedded to the verdict of history to be easily identified．And it requires the ultimate expression of too many features to be simplified into the highest point on one human scale．Instead we can try to understand it by cracking the complex and mixed qualities-intelligence，creativity，perseverance，and simple good fortune，to name a few-that combine to create a person capable of changing the world．

D．Geniuses have limited influences just as comets do

分析 本文以愛因斯坦的大腦切片為導(dǎo)入，討論了人類歷史上對于"天才"的探索和研究，究竟是什么造就了天才．
解答 58．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)句子 Look closely at the display，and you can see marks left by museum goers pressing their foreheads against the glass．仔細(xì)觀察顯示器，你可以看到博物館的參觀者在玻璃上壓額頭的痕跡．可見有很多人喜歡看這家博物館的展覽，博物館很受歡迎，所以答案選C．
59．C 推理判斷題． A答案錯在引力波是愛因斯坦提出假設(shè)，在近幾年通過大量計(jì)算機(jī)等驗(yàn)證進(jìn)行證明；B答案中Arthur Schopenhauer 是天才的研究者，而文章并無任何證明表示其是廣為認(rèn)可的"天才"；D則是對comet一詞在文中的意思進(jìn)行了曲解，在文中的意思不是閃耀時間太短，而是應(yīng)該解讀為天才在其時代是非常耀眼的存在．C選項(xiàng)愛因斯坦做出了令人難以置信的預(yù)測．所以答案選C．
60．B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)句子Instead we can try to understand it by cracking the complex and mixed qualities-intelligence，creativity，perseverance，and simple good fortune，to name a few-that combine to create a person capable of changing the world．相反，我們可以通過破解復(fù)雜的、混合的智力、創(chuàng)造力、毅力和簡單的好運(yùn)來理解這一點(diǎn)．這是天才所具備的素質(zhì)，所以答案選B．
點(diǎn)評 推理判斷題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上，做出一定的推理判斷，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義．推理判斷題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中的某一句話，也可能是某幾句話，所以，推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫或綜合．推理判斷題的題干中通常含有infer，suggest，imply，conclude indicate等標(biāo)志性詞語． 這種題型主要包括細(xì)節(jié)判斷題、態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)推斷題、寫作意圖推斷題、文章出處判斷題和猜測想象推斷題．
