What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers．Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence has made the experts think again．
Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up．From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ．Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15．What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103．An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did．However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage．He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one. Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this．Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these．“The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers．”
Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything．Many alternative views have been put forward recently．One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner．This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence．
Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence．He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples．At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain．Perhaps there’s hope for us all!
小題1:What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The development of intelligence

B．The idea of multiple intelligences

C．IQ isn’t everything for intelligence

D．Alternative views have been put forward

小題2:Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?

A．Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common

B．Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors

C．Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career

D．Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence

小題4:What might be the best title of the passage?

A．The relationship between genes and intelligence

B．IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence

C．How to develop intelligence．

D．What makes intelligence.

小題1:B
小題2:C

試題分析：文章介紹了什么是智力？盡管這方面在遺傳和心理方面取得了很大的進步，但這一話題仍是現代科學最有爭議的話題之一，基因的組成被發現以后，遺傳對智力的影響成了科學上研究的一個重要方面。同時也說明了智力并不只是受一個方面的影響，因此下文中又出現了多元智力。
小題1:B細節理解。One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner．This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory,句意為：其中的一個例子就是多元智力，它是在二十世紀八十年代由哈佛心理學家Howard Gardner發起的，這就提供了比智商理論更為廣闊的觀點。所以答案應是多元智力，故為B。
小題2:C細節理解題。From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ．從他們的研究中，他們已經發現，在高智商的這些人中，他們的基因都有稍微的不同這點是相同的。．An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question,分析顯示，在高智商的小孩兒中有百分之三十二都有思考問題的基因。所以下文他們用的數據是為了來證明這一觀點。故答案應為C。
小題3:B細節理解題。Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything．Many alternative views have been put forward recently．One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner．許多心理學家認為，當談到智力的時候，智商并不代表一切，許多新的觀點已經被提出，其中包括多元智力說。由此可知Howard Gardner認為，智力包括多個因素是正確的。故答案為B
小題4:D綜合理解題。由文章的第一自然段What exactly is intelligence?開篇，下文均是圍繞這一問題展開，由此可知答案為D。
考點: 科普類文章的閱讀。

In a recent study, researchers have estimated the energy required to produce bottled water, including the energy required to manufacture plastic, make the plastic into bottles, process the water, fill and seal the bottles, transport the bottles, and chill the bottles for use. Combining all the energy input totals for treatment and distribution, researchers found that producing bottled water requires between 5.6 and 10.2 million joules(焦耳) of energy per liter, depending on transportation factors. That's up to 2, 000 times the energy required to produce tap water.
To break down the energy requirements, researchers found that producing the plastic bottles and transporting the bottles greatly dominated(控制) the energy input. Although some companies are experimenting with producing lightweight bottles or using recycled materials, the researchers calculated that the manufacturing cost is about 4 million joules of energy per plastic bottle weighing 38 grams, and the cap weighing 2 grams.
“Our previous work had suggested that bottled water production was an energy intensive process, but we were surprised to see the results, ” the researchers said.
Transportation costs vary depending on the distance and mode of transport and both factors depend on the type of bottled water. There are two main kinds of bottled water in the US:^” spring water” which comes from an underground spring and “purified water”,which is city tap water that has received further treatment. For purified water distributed locally by truck within Los Angeles, the total transportation energy is about 1.4 million joules per liter. In the second situation, spring water shipped from Fiji (such as Fiji Spring Water) across the Pacific to Los Angeles, and then delivered locally by truck requires about 4 million joules per liter for transportation. For the spring water, the transportation energy equaled (in the case of Fiji) the energy required to produce the bottle.
With this data, the researchers hope that future studies will have the ability to make specific estimates for different situations, and possibly find ways to cut energy costs.
小題1:From the first Paragraph we can know that the energy required to ______.

A．produce bottled water includes the energy required to drink it

B．distribute bottled water includes the energy for producing the bottles

C．distribute bottled water is much smaller than the energy for treating it

D．produce bottled water is much smaller than the energy for producing tap water

小題2:To reduce the energy required to produce bottled water, some companies are trying ______.

A．to fill tap water into the plastic bottles directly

B．to replace the plastic bottles with metal containers

C．to produce lightweight bottles with recycled materials

D．to use bicycles to transport and deliver bottled water locally

小題3:What's Paragraph 4 mainly talking about?

A．Treatment of bottled water needs no energy input at all.

B．Bottled water production is an energy intensive process.

C．Transportation of bottled water takes up the most energy input.

D．Production of the plastic bottles greatly dominated the energy input.

小題4: We can infer from the passage that ______.

A．there are two main kinds of bottled water in the US

B．world consumption of bottled water has been increasing

C．transportation costs have something to do with the mode of transport

D．bottled water produced in Spring is more expensive than purified water

小題5: What's the main purpose of the passage?

A．To help consumers themselves make more environmentally sustainable choices.

B．To advise the government to take severe measures to stop producing bottled water.

C．To urge the consumers to drink tap water instead of bottled water for the sake of the earth.

D．To try the best to find ways to produce bottled water cheaply and quickly for the companies.

Monitoring global warming usually requires a Ph. D. and enough maths to glaze your eyes. But that Francisco Lopez and Ruby Nostrant track（記錄）what climate change is doing to five different plants in Tucson, Arizona and they are only in the second grade.
“We are collecting data because the weather is changing and the plants are blooming,” Ruby explained.
Scores of other students at Borton Primary Magnet School and Sunnyside High School in Tucson are heading outdoors to be part of a new scientific push to figure out how the biological timing of the earth is changing. It’s a research project that the average person, even a kindergartner, can join in.
The National Phenology（生物氣候學）Network is calling on volunteers to help track early spring blooms and eventually changes in animals caused by global warming. It’s called Project Budburst. When it was first open to the public last year, thousands of people participated in 26 states.
“All people can contribute to it by tracking the timing of flowering events or leaf-out events for plants and animals in their backyard,” said Phenology Network director Jake Weltzin. He calls the volunteers “citizen-scientists.”
The idea is that tracking flowers blooming—especially lilacs（丁香）; which everyday people have helped track for decades—is fairly simple. The Website http://www.Windows.ucar.edu/ citizen_science/budburst/index.html gives directions on what to look for in different parts of the country.
University of Maryland professor David Inouye said it’s so easy to figure out what’s blooming that a lack of special knowledge isn’t a problem.
University of Arizona ecology graduate student Lisa Benton coordinated（協調）the Tucson high school students as they looked at plants five minutes from their high school. Each student has specific guidelines and she’s been happy so far with the data she is getting. For his part, second-grader Francisco said he had fun helping out.
“I like going out in the desert,” he said. “I want to be an Einstein.”
小題1:Francisco Lopez and Ruby Nostrant are monitoring global warming by __________.

A．watching early spring blooms and changes in animals

B．studying the biological timing of earth

C．collecting data of the local weather

D．tracking the early spring blooms of some local plants

小題2:Those who participate in Project Budburst are mostly ___________.

A．ecology college graduates	B．high school students
C．common people	D．experts

小題3:What David Inouye says suggests that ____________.

A．the study carried out by students is convincing

B．the students still need special training to study climate change

C．it is difficult to study climate change

D．to figure out what’s blooming needs special knowledge

小題4:Who is primary school student joining in the Project Budburst?

A．Lisa Benton.	B．David Inouye
C．Francisco Lopez.	D．Jake Weltzin.

小題5:We can conclude from the passage that _______.

A．changes in animals caused by global warming happen earlier than those in plants

B．the biological timing of earth is changing because of climate change

C．the effect of climate change in Tucson, Arizona can be hardly noticed

D．all the plants in Tucson, Arizona are blooming earlier because of climate change

Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic (流行病) sweeping across Americas farmland. It has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel prices and crop-eating insects. The country's farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National agricultural census (普查) figures show that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.
Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of America's farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No.1 on a list of "useless" college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.
“There couldn't be anything that's more incorrect," Merrigan said. "We know that there aren't enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.
In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said.
“I truly believe we're at a golden age of agriculture. Global demand is at an all-time record high, and global supplies are at all-time record lows," said Matt Rush, director of the Texas Farm Bureau. "Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture”.
The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers' Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new fermers.
Ryan Best, president of Future Fanners of America, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. The 21 -year-old Best hopes his message-that this is a new time in agriculture-will motivate the next generation to turn around the statistics.“Never before have we had the innovations (創新）in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been” he said. “There’s really a place for everybody to fit in”
小題1:What is the new challenge to American agriculture?

A．Fewer and older farmers.	B．Higher fuel prices.
C．More natural disasters.	D．Lower agricultural output.

小題2:Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country?

A．To draw federal agriculture officials' attention

B．To select qualified agriculture graduates.

C．To clarify a recent blog posting.

D．To talk more students into farming careers

小題3:According to Matt Rush, American agriculture will provide opportunities for younger people because__________.

A．the government will cover production costs

B．global food supplies will be even lower

C．investment in agriculture will be profitable

D．America will increase its food export

小題4:What do the underlined words "to turn around the statistics" in the last paragraph mean?

A．To re-analyze the result of the national census.

B．To increase production.

C．To bring down the average age of farmers.

D．To invest more in agriculture.

Digital Trend: BOOKLESS LIBRARIES
What if you could fit all of a library’s collection in the palm of your hand? That’s part of the idea behind an upcoming bookless public library in San Antonio. Called Biblio Tech, the system will lend out e-readers loaded with 10,000 titles for two-to-three –week periods. But don't bother holding on to the device longer than that because it’s programmed to go dead.
Other libraries have tried similar programs: In 2002, the Santa Rosa Branch Library in Tucson, Arizona, launched a digital-only facility, and a bookless project was proposed last year in Newport Beach, California. Those digital-only projects folded—residents wanted their paperbacks—but Stanford University maintains a successful bookless engineering library with over 65,000 titles. Officials say digital libraries are a low-cost way to educate the masses and argue their rise is inevitable.
Still, some insist print isn’t doomed. A recent Wall Street Journal article notes that e-book purchases skew（傾斜）heavily toward the sort of “light entertainment” novels you can pick up at the grocery store. A survey from the Pew Research Center shows that about 90 percent of digital readers still crack open physical books.( After all, there are only four Twilight books. How hard is it to drag those around?)
小題1:From the first paragraph, we can tell _____.

A．you can always keep all of the books in your hands,

B．Biblio Tech will lend readers 10,000 books temporarily.

C．the books will not be stored in your device forever.

D．the bookless public library can be found in San Antonio now.

小題2:The following statements are true except that _____.

A．the Santa Rosa Branch Library lend out e-readers with 10,000 books.

B．the physical books are still popular despite those bookless projects.

C．Stanford University sets a successful example of bookless engineering.

D．some officials agree that digital libraries are educative and unavoidable.

小題3:What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2?

A．succeeded

B．opened

C．accepted

D．failed

小題4:Some people insist that print will not disappear because _____.

A．e-books are mainly sort of “light entertainment” novels.

B．most of the digital readers prefer books about physics.

C．a majority of e-reader users still choose to read paperbacks.

D．it is easy to take 4 Twilight books everywhere.

We know that sugary sodas aren’t good for our bodies. Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds, either. A new study of more than 260,000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression, and diet sodas may be making matters worse.
Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries— as much as 170 liters per person per year. But the impact of this study isn’t limited to the United States. “Sweetened drinks, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences. And they may have important mental-health consequences as well,” study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement.
The study studied 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71. Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda, tea coffee, and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then. 10 years later, asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. More than 11,3000 of them had.
Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all. People who stuck with fruit punch(雞尾酒), had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn’t drink sweetened drinks. And all that extra sugar isn’t the actual problem. Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame.
The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression. Still, the results “are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes.”
But there’s a bright side for those who can’t live without their daily sodas. Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn’t drink any coffee, according to the study. “Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk,” said Chen.
小題1:What has the new study of more than 260,000 people found?

A．Sugary sodas aren’t good for the physical health of old people.

B．Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods.

C．Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression.

D．Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences.

小題2:What do we know about the process of the study?

A．About twenty-six thousand people participated in it.

B．The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over.

C．Most of the participants had depression when the study was over.

D．The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end.

小題3:We infer that the underlined word “aspartame” in Paragraph 4 refers to something that _____.

A．can reduce the harm of sweetened drinks

B．is used to reduce the risk of depression

C．is mainly used to make fruit punch

D．is used to make something .sweet

小題4:It is implied in the passage that ______.

A．more research is needed to confirm the new findings

B．the new findings aren’t consistent with any previous findings

C．cutting one’s sodas intake will surely reduce one’s depression

D．the new findings won’t have an impact on people’s drinking habits

小題5:What should you drink in order to reduce the risk of depression?

A．Sodas.

B．Unsweetened coffee.

C．Sugary coffee.

D．Fruit punch.

In tradition (傳統的) education, the teacher may feel that the students are not very grown up. Usually, teachers are older than students, and teachers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world. The teachers feel that they must tell the students what to do most of the time, and that they must also make the students study specific (特殊的) things. In open education, the teacher’s methods are very different. These teachers feel that the students are human beings (人) first, and students second. They expect the students to be responsible for the things that they do, just as adults are. A student’s ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher’s. The teacher allows the students to decide what they want to do, and does not make them study what they do not want to. The teacher lets them decide what to study and how much to study. It’s very important for the teacher to show how he or she feels about students.
小題1:Which is the topic for the passage?

A．Traditional Education
