the third planet from the sun，the earth seems to be just the right

distance planets which are closer to the sun are so hot because their

surfaces are baked(炙烤) in the farthest planets are cold balls.

When the earth developed—which scientists believe may have happened about 4

billion years ago—many gases covered the gases caused the earth to be

something wonderful temperature was just right for thick clouds

to rained very hard for a very long gave the earth its

made it possible for plants to plants created oxygen in the

is the gas that humans and animals breathe.

Another planet in the solar system seems to be something like the

planet is is smaller than the earth，and it is quite a bit it

is not too cold for some days，the temperatures are as low as a winter

day in the northern United you wore a special space suit，you could walk

around on would have to bring your own air to breathe，as the air on Mars

is too thin to breathe.

Mars has the largest volcano(火山) in the solar is sixteen miles

highest volcano on the earth is five miles most unexpected sight

B

Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.

Let's state clearly: Einstein was a face is almost the international

symbol for we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius

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 s this is not a 's said that history is written

by the victors，and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius

contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women，or people

of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.

A study recently published by

Science

found that as young as age six，girls

are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别) 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 thinkers become discouraged

and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.

Here's the good a wired world with constant global communication，

we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they the more we

2

look，the more we will see that social factors (因素) like gender，race，and class

do not determine the appearance of a writer says，future geniuses come

from those with “intelligence，creativity，perseverance (毅力)，and simple good

fortune，who are able to change the world.”

【语篇解读】 不论是在科学界还是艺术界，判断一个人是不是“天才”只有一个标

准——“胜利者的标准”。然而这是一个极为不公平的判断标准，因为它将很大一部分人排

除在“天才俱乐部”外。好消息是这种情况正在得到改善。

4．What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?

A．They're unfair.

B．They're conservative.

C．They're objective.

D．They're strict.

A [推理判断题。根据第三段的“It's said that history is written by the victors，

and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius

contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women，or people of a different

color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.”可知，历史是

由胜利者书写的，而这些胜利者也为“天才俱乐部”设定了标准。当“俱乐部”外的天才(即

女性、不同肤色或信仰的人)做出贡献时，他们得不到认可，并会被其他人拒绝进入“天才

俱乐部”。因此作者认为胜利者为“天才俱乐部”设定的准入标准是不公平的。故选A。]

5．What can we infer about girls from the study in

Science?

A．They think themselves smart.

B．They look up to great thinkers.

C．They see gender differences earlier than boys.

D．They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.

D [推理判断题。根据第四段的“A study recently published by

Science

found that

as young as age six，girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their

gender(性别) 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.’”可知，该项研究发现，女孩会避免去做那些

被认为是“特别特别聪明”的孩子才能做的事。由此可知，女孩可能受到社会观念的影响。

故选D。]

6．Why are more geniuses known to the public?

A．Improved global communication.

B．Less discrimination against women.

3

C．Acceptance of victors' concepts.

D．Changes in people's social positions.

A [细节理解题。根据第五段的“In a wired world with constant global

communication，we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.”

可知，有更多的天才被公众所知，其原因在于全球通信系统的改善。故选A。]

7．What is the best title for the text?

A．Geniuses Think Alike

B．Genius Takes Many Forms

C．Genius and Intelligence

D．Genius and Luck

B [主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“...social factors like gender，race，

and class do not determine the appearance of a writer says，future geniuses

come from those with‘intelligence，creativity，perseverance，and simple good fortune，

who are able to change the world.’”可知，像性别、种族和阶层这样的社会因素并不能

决定天才是什么样的。因此B项“天才有多种形式”最能概括本文的主旨。]

Ⅱ.读后续写

“Now，parents and students separate into two will be reunited at

the end of the campus tour.”

Groups of incoming freshmen happily left their parents upon hearing this

announcement.I was less than thrilled about starting college，let alone leaving my

mother's side to tour the campus with other freshmen；I felt a little anxious.

We followed the senior tour other freshmen chatted and made casual

introductions as I dragged could I have believed I was ready for this?

After all，it had only been a few months since I left the hospital.I was feeling

My thinking was interrupted by a sweet female voice，“Hi，I'm Jennifer.” “I'm

smiled.“I'm not sure，”I said.“You should live on campus！It will be a lot of

fun! ”she I could reply，the tour guide announced it was time to create

our schedules and select the courses we wanted to take.

course bulletins (课程公告)and forms that needed to be filled around me，

you like and a schedule that works.”Psychology A or B，Geology 101，English，History，

sections 1，2，3...The list went on and on.

impatiently.“I...I can't do this！” I said.“All you have to do is make your

Then，I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I looked back and found Jennifer standing

behind me.“Everything is alright，” she told the senior.“I'll help her.” The senior

walked away.“What's wrong，sweetie？” Jennifer g Jennifer's kind

words，I cried even harder，saying，“It's just too much！” Then Jennifer put her
