17、be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez s Pasture（牧场）and through some woods. The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull（公牛） . Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the town, maybe even in the county, and we
18、 believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his words. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for anther, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull. Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pas
19、ture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. 版权所有 :中国好课堂 If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still ha

I gave in and we set out. On your way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had ap
21、proached him quietly and was licking（舔） his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn t a big mean bull after all.

A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our body s functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain c
26、an mean so much more. A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, he is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, “ He s the brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible f
27、or developing or organizing something. For example, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft. Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase “ brain trust” became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice o
28、n social and political issues（问题） facing the U.S. These professors were called his “ brain trust” . These ways we use the word “ brain” all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word
29、“ drain” . As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flew away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But, brain drain is when a country s most educated people leave their countries to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of
30、 the country. However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government l
31、eaders may brainstorm to solve problems. If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make some accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way. 28. According
32、to the text, if you re the CEO of Bai Du you can be called . A. the organ of Bai Du B. the brain drain of Bai Du 版权所有 :中国好课堂 C. the brains behind Bai Du D. Bai Du s brain trust 29. Roosevelt successfully won the election probably because . A. he got his brain trust B. he got the help of word expert
33、s C. he was smart at giving advice D. he was the brains behind America 30. From the passage, we can infer that . A. to drain a lake means to fill it with a lot of water B. brainy and brainwash are never used in a negative way C. brainstorming is not a good choice for a political leader for lack of c
34、reativity D. a country suffers a “ brain drain” when educated people move to other countries 31. The author explains the “ brain” expressions by . A. making comments B. making comparisons C. using examples D. analyzing origins D Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence
35、 developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring
36、environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This vies, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of
37、ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence
38、will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine
39、 now that we take two 版权所有 :中国好课堂 identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as bi
40、rth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. 32. The writer is in favor of the view that man s intelligence is given to him . A. at birth B. thr
41、ough education C. both at birth and through education D. through environment of one s family 33. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can . A. surely become a genius B. still become a fool if he isn t given good education C. reach his intelligence limits through his own efforts D. probably
42、reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings 34. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows . A. the importance of their intelligence B. the role of environment on intelligence C. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays 35. The best
43、title of the passage can be . A. On Intelligence B. On Genius C. Dependence on Environment D. Effect of Education on Intelligence 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余斜选项。 All over the world people are hooked on sports, which help them to strengthen their body and build
