B．Themoon.C．Theearth. D．TheMars.C[細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)常識及畫線詞所在句后一分句均可知，距離太陽第三遠的行星指的是地球，故選C項。]3．Whatshouldbethebesttitleforthepassage?A．LivingThingsonOurEarthB．TheMoonC．LivingThingsontheMoonD．MarsisMostLiketheEarthD[標題歸納題。本文先講述的是地球適合人類生存的原因，后面對比火星和地球在環(huán)境方面的異同之處，從氣溫、水、空氣等方面展開，具體說明了火星與地球最相似，故選D項。]BWhoisagenius?Thisquestionhasgreatlyinterestedhumankindforcenturies.Let'sstateclearly:Einsteinwasagenius.Hisfaceisalmosttheinternationalsymbolforgenius.Butwewanttogobeyondonemanandexplorethenatureofgeniusitself.Whyisitthatsomepeoplearesomuchmoreintelligentorcreativethantherestofus?Andwhoarethey?Inthesciencesandarts，thosepraisedasgeniusesweremostoftenwhitemen，ofEuropeanorigin.Perhapsthisisnotasurprise.It'ssaidthathistoryiswrittenbythevictors，andthosevictorssetthestandardsforadmissiontothegeniusclub.Whencontributionsweremadebygeniusesoutsidetheclub—women，orpeopleofadifferentcolororbelief—theywereunacknowledgedandrejectedbyothers.AstudyrecentlypublishedbySciencefoundthatasyoungasagesix，girlsarelesslikelythanboystosaythatmembersoftheirgender(性別)are“really，reallysmart.”Evenworse，thestudyfoundthatgirlsactonthatbelief:Aroundagesixtheystarttoavoidactivitiessaidtobeforchildrenwhoare“really，reallysmart.”Canourplanetaffordtohaveanygreatthinkersbecomediscouragedandgiveup?Itdoesn'ttakeageniustoknowtheanswer:absolutelynot.Here'sthegoodnews.Inawiredworldwithconstantglobalcommunication，we'reallpositionedtoseeflashesofgeniuswherevertheyappear.Andthemorewelook，themorewewillseethatsocialfactors(因素)likegender，race，andclassdonotdeterminetheappearanceofgenius.Asawritersays，futuregeniusescomefromthosewith“intelligence，creativity，perseverance(毅力)，andsimplegoodfortune，whoareabletochangetheworld.”【語篇解讀】不論是在科學界還是藝術(shù)界，判斷一個人是不是“天才”只有一個標準——“勝利者的標準”。然而這是一個極為不公平的判斷標準，因為它將很大一部分人排除在“天才俱樂部”外。好消息是這種情況正在得到改善。4．Whatdoestheauthorthinkofvictors'standardsforjoiningthegeniusclub?A．They'reunfair.B．They'reconservative.C．They'reobjective.D．They'restrict.A[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的“It'ssaidthathistoryiswrittenbythevictors，andthosevictorssetthestandardsforadmissiontothegeniusclub.Whencontributionsweremadebygeniusesoutsidetheclub—women，orpeopleofadifferentcolororbelief—theywereunacknowledgedandrejectedbyothers.”可知，歷史是由勝利者書寫的，而這些勝利者也為“天才俱樂部”設定了標準。當“俱樂部”外的天才(即女性、不同膚色或信仰的人)做出貢獻時，他們得不到認可，并會被其他人拒絕進入“天才俱樂部”。因此作者認為勝利者為“天才俱樂部”設定的準入標準是不公平的。故選A。]5．WhatcanweinferaboutgirlsfromthestudyinScience?A．Theythinkthemselvessmart.B．Theylookuptogreatthinkers.C．Theyseegenderdifferencesearlierthanboys.D．Theyarelikelytobeinfluencedbysocialbeliefs.D[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的“AstudyrecentlypublishedbySciencefoundthatasyoungasagesix，girlsarelesslikelythanboystosaythatmembersoftheirgender(性別)are‘really，reallysmart.’Evenworse，thestudyfoundthatgirlsactonthatbelief：Aroundagesixtheystarttoavoidactivitiessaidtobeforchildrenwhoare‘really，reallysmart.’”可知，該項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，女孩會避免去做那些被認為是“特別特別聰明”的孩子才能做的事。由此可知，女孩可能受到社會觀念的影響。故選D。]6．Whyaremoregeniusesknowntothepublic?A．Improvedglobalcommunication.B．Lessdiscriminationagainstwomen.C．Acceptanceofvictors'concepts.D．Changesinpeople'ssocialpositions.A[細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的“Inawiredworldwithconstantglobalcommunication，we'reallpositionedtoseeflashesofgeniuswherevertheyappear.”可知，有更多的天才被公眾所知，其原因在于全球通信系統(tǒng)的改善。故選A。]7．Whatisthebesttitleforthetext?A．GeniusesThinkAlikeB．GeniusTakesManyFormsC．GeniusandIntelligenceD．GeniusandLuckB[主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“...socialfactorslikegender，race，andclassdonotdeterminetheappearanceofgenius.Asawritersays，futuregeniusescomefromthosewith‘intelligence，creativity，perseverance，andsimplegoodfortune，whoareabletochangetheworld.’”可知，像性別、種族和階層這樣的社會因素并不能決定天才是什么樣的。因此B項“天才有多種形式”最能概括本文的主旨。]Ⅱ.讀后續(xù)寫“Now，parentsandstudentsseparateintotwogroups.Youwillbereunitedattheendofthecampustour.”Groupsofincomingfreshmenhappilylefttheirparentsuponhearingthisannouncement.Iwaslessthanthrilledaboutstartingcollege，letaloneleavingmymother'ssidetotourthecampuswithotherfreshmen；Ifeltalittleanxious.Wefollowedtheseniortourguide.TheotherfreshmenchattedandmadecasualintroductionsasIdraggedbehind.HowcouldIhavebelievedIwasreadyforthis?Afterall，ithadonlybeenafewmonthssinceIleftthehospital.Iwasfeelingbetterforthefirsttimeinyears.Butcollege...?Mythinkingwasinterruptedbyasweetfemalevoice，“Hi，I'mJennifer.”“I'mLauren，”Ireplied.“Wheredoyouprefertolive?Athomeoroncampus?”shesmiled.“I'mnotsure，”Isaid.“Youshouldliveoncampus！Itwillbealotoffun!”shesaid.BeforeIcouldreply，thetourguideannounceditwastimetocreateourschedulesandselectthecourseswewantedtotake.WecrowdedintotheStudentActivityCenter.Threeseniorshandedoutthickcoursebulletins(課程公告)andformsthatneededtobefilledout.Allaroundme，thesoundsofturningpapersandwritingsoundedlikethosegivenbyanalarmclock.OthersseemedtobemovingthroughtheprocessquicklybutIhadn'tevenopenedmycoursecatalog(目錄)．“Focus，”Itoldmyself.“Justreadthroughthecatalogandfindthecoursesyoulikeandaschedulethatworks.”PsychologyAorB，Geology101，English，History，sections1，2，3...Thelistwentonandon.Ipanickedandalmoststartedtocry.HowwasIsupposedtoknowhowtocompleteit？Iwasjustrelearninghowtoliveintherealworld，andtheywant
