His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of geniu

34、s itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors

35、, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the clubwomen, or people of a different color or beliefthey were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls

36、are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性別)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinke

37、rs become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that so

38、cial factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius.

52、換派對(duì)，以及一些具體的流程?！?6題詳解】根據(jù)上文“So what to do with all those perfectly- good-but-you 're- maybe-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor?（那么，該如何處理那些堆在臥室地板上的（看起來）完好但你可能有點(diǎn)厭倦的衣服呢？）”提出關(guān)于如何解決舊衣物的問題。下文“It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and

53、 have a party all at the same time.（這是扔掉舊衣服、從朋友那里買衣服、同時(shí)開派對(duì)的最好方法。）”提到了具體處理舊衣物的方法。所以空白處應(yīng)起承上啟下的作用，承接上文講到的問題，啟下提出的方法。因而空白處是提出了一種處理舊衣物的好方法。B項(xiàng)“Hold a clothing swap.（進(jìn)行衣物交換。）”給出了一種處理舊衣物的方法，承上啟下，符合語境。故選B項(xiàng)?！?7題詳解】根據(jù)上文“Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection.”（邀請(qǐng)5到10個(gè)人，這樣你就有一個(gè)很好的選擇。）說明了應(yīng)該邀請(qǐng)的人數(shù)。下文“and

54、there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.”（可能沒有足夠的東西可供選擇；多于這個(gè)數(shù)量，它就變得無法控制。）說明多于或少于一定數(shù)量的人數(shù)將會(huì)導(dǎo)致一些麻煩。所以空白處應(yīng)是針對(duì)下文中的“more than that”提出的相反的假設(shè)，即少于一定數(shù)量的人。A項(xiàng)“Less people than that”（少于這些人）提出一種假設(shè)，和下文中“more than that”相對(duì)，說明人數(shù)不宜太多，也不能太少，符合語境。故選A項(xiàng)?！?8題詳解】根據(jù)下文“They

55、 should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.”（他們還應(yīng)該準(zhǔn)備大量的可重復(fù)使用的袋子，把他們的“新”衣服帶回家。）說明去的時(shí)候應(yīng)該為交換所得的“新衣服”準(zhǔn)備袋子。G項(xiàng)“Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition.”（告訴每個(gè)人帶來品相完好的衣服。）說明去參加衣物交換的時(shí)候應(yīng)該帶完好的衣服，其中的bring和下文中carry相對(duì)，都是為交換衣物所做的準(zhǔn)備。下文中的also也是提示詞，并且其中They指代G項(xiàng)的every

56、one。所以G項(xiàng)符合語境。故選G項(xiàng)?！?9題詳解】根據(jù)上文“Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.”（把不同類型的衣服放在房間的不同地方。）指出衣服應(yīng)該歸類放置。下文“Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.”（在房間周圍放幾面鏡子，這樣人們?cè)嚧r(shí)就能看到衣服的樣子。）提到了放置鏡子的意義。由此可見，本段講述的是房間里的一些具體的做法，所以空白處一樣要提出人

57、們?cè)诜块g里要做什么。F項(xiàng)“Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots.（讓每個(gè)人的衣服都放在相應(yīng)的位置上。）”說明每個(gè)人應(yīng)該按照不同類型把衣服擺放在相應(yīng)的位置，符合語境。故選F項(xiàng)?！?0題詳解】上文“Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever.”（設(shè)置開始時(shí)間。也許你說“開始”，或者打開一首歌，或者無論什么。）打開音樂或者無論什么，意味聚會(huì)開始。下文“And don't forget to put out some

58、 cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!”（別忘了拿出一些餅干和水果。記住，這是個(gè)派對(duì)?。┲v到了聚會(huì)上應(yīng)該提供一些派對(duì)該有的服務(wù)。因而，空白處應(yīng)是承接上文，講述聚會(huì)期間要保持應(yīng)有的內(nèi)容。D項(xiàng)“Just keep music playing throughout.”（要始終播放音樂。）承上啟下，說明在派對(duì)上要有音樂，與前文形成意義上的一致，符合題意，故選D項(xiàng)。第二部分 語言知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié)（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。It's the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill blacklisted at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada.Bu
