2、em 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 think that parents shoul
3、d 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.

4、 be careful what they say to young children.

6、hat there are no answers to these questions参考答案:A解析:【答案】A【解析】细节题，问：“第一段提出的问题是为了_ 。”需要从文章的结构来分析，文章第一段围绕聪明与平庸的主题提出了许多问题，并说明这些问题的答案尚不明朗，第二段则谈论聪明的因素有哪些，第三段是告诉父母，为了让孩子更聪明，应当如何做。可见，第一段提出了一些与主题相关的、令人感兴趣的问题作为铺垫。由此选 A，“为了引出主题，即什么因素形成聪明的大脑”。 2、According to the context we can guess that a genius is _ while an

What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool?“是什么原因，使得有的人比别人更聪明？是什么原因，让有的人成为像聪明绝顶的爱因斯坦那样的 genius（本题考点），而让有的人却成为傻瓜？”文中和 genius 对应的词是 fool，因此 idiot 与 fool 是同义词，表示“傻瓜，笨蛋”，而 genius 与 fool 是反义词，表示“聪明人 ”，根据分析应选C，“非常聪明的人，愚蠢或迟钝的人 ”。A ，“正常人，
9、有趣的人”，B，“强壮的人，虚弱的人 ”，D ，“有名的人，普通人 ”，均不符合文意。 3、A person _ is more likely to become a genius.

13、d always encourage their children.参考答案:C解析:【答案】C【解析】推断题，问： “根据文章，以下哪个选项不正确？ ”A，“父母在孩子的成长中起到重要作用”，全文都有此暗示，正确。B，“脑子动得越少，就会越笨拙”，对应第二段最后一句，“如果孩子常常无事可做，就更有可能变得笨拙，不聪明。”C ，“显然智力是出生地点与生活方式导致的结果”，文章认为先天优势加上后天用脑才是决定智力的因素，而非出生地点与生活方式。D，“父母应该总是鼓励孩子 ”，与第三段对应。C 选项不符合文意，应选 C。 Child labor, the employment of childre
