Question

20．What makes one person more intelligent than another？What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein，and another person a fool？Are people born intelligent or stupid，or is intelligence the result of where and how you live？These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear．
We know，however，that just being born with a good mind is not enough．In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle．It needs exercise．Mental （done with the mind） exercise is particularly important for young children．Many child psychologists（心理學(xué)家） think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about．The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent．If，on the other hand，children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent．
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children．According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things．So it is probably better for parents to say very positive （helpful） things to their children，such as"That was a very clever thing you did．"or"You are such a smart child．"

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀，作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們描述了關(guān)于影響孩子智力發(fā)展的因素，有先天的因素也有后天的鍛煉．

解答 10．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段What makes oneperson more intelligent than another？What makes one person a genius，like thebrilliant Albert Einstein，and another person a fool？說(shuō)明這里的intelligent和dull都是關(guān)于智力表現(xiàn)的意思，和愛(ài)因斯坦一樣的就是intelligent，相反的就是dull，故A正確．
11．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段：children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent可知天才是一個(gè)高智商的人而白癡是一個(gè)愚蠢的或意志薄弱的人；故選C．
12．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第二段前一半內(nèi)容說(shuō)明從小時(shí)候要給孩子適當(dāng)?shù)挠?xùn)練，讓他們的思維能得到鍛煉，故D項(xiàng)正確．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一個(gè)科教類閱讀理解，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
