The contribution genes make to intelligence increases as children grow older. This goes against the notion most people hold that as we age, environmental influences gradually overpower the genetic legacy we are born with―and may have implications for education. “People assume the genetic influence goes down with age because the environmental differences between people pile up in life,” says Robert Plomin. “What we found was quite amazing, and goes in the other direction.” Previous studies have shown variations in intelligence are at least partly due to genetics. To find out whether this genetic contribution varies with age, Plomin’s team pooled data from six separate studies carried out in the US, the UK, Australia and the Netherlands, involving a total of 11,000 pairs of twins. In these studies, the researchers tested twins on reasoning, logic and arithmetic to measure a quantity called general cognitive ability, or “g”. Each study also included both identical twins, with same genes, and fraternal twins, sharing about half their genes, making it possible to disentangle (分清) the contributions of genes and environment to their “g” scores. Plomin’s team calculated that in childhood, genes account for about 41 percent of the variation in intelligence. In adolescence, this rose to 55 percent; by young adulthood, it was 66 percent. No one knows why the influence from genes should increase with age, but Plomin suggests that as children get older, they become better at exploiting and manipulating their environment to suit their genetic needs, and says “Kids with high ‘g’ will use their environment to foster their cognitive ability and choose friends who are like-minded.” Children with medium to low “g” may choose less challenging pastimes and activities, further emphasising their genetic legacy. Is there any way to interfere with the pattern? Perhaps. “The evidence of strong heritability doesn’t mean at all that there’s nothing you can do about it,” says Susanne Jaeggi. “From our own work, the ones that started off with lower IQ scores had higher gains after training.” Plomin suggests that genetic differences may be more emphasised if all children share an identical curriculum instead of it being tailored to children’s natural abilities. “My inclination (倾向) would be to give everyone a good education, but put more effort into the lower end,” he says. Intelligence researcher Paul Thompson agrees, “It shows that educators need to steer kids towards things drawing out their natural talents.” 1 Most people think the intelligence increases ____ . A are affected more by environment than the genetic legacy with age. B should be attributed more to the contribution that genes make with age. C are closely connected with the genetic legacy with age. D go against the implication of the education with age. 2 What information can we get from the previous studies about intelligence? A Genetic effect on intelligence goes down with age. B Cognitive ability grows with people aging. C Environment contributes more to one’s g scores. D Genetics in part leads to variations in intelligence. 3 What can be inferred from the calculation got by Plomin’s team? A The younger the people, the greater the role genes play in intelligence variations. B The genes play a greater and greater role in intelligence variations with age increasing. C The younger the people, the greater the variations in intelligence. D The older the people, the greater the variations in intelligence. 4 What can be known from the sixth paragraph? A The entertainment chosen by kids with low “g” may be less challenging. B Children want better environment to suit their genetic needs with age. C The older a child becomes, the better his cognitive ability is. D Kids with high cognitive ability stress genetic legacy more. 5 What does Susanne Jaeggi want to express by saying “the ones...lower IQ...after training”? A Children with lower IQ should be paid more attention to than those with high IQ scores. B Children with lower IQ can do nothing because of the evidence of strong heritability. C Children with medium to low “g” can chose challenging activities after training. D The medium or low “g” has close relationship with one’s IQ scores.
I have only once been in trouble with the law. The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent fate in court. It happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time. One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall. It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke. But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt. "But what for?" I asked. "Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence." he said. "What offence?" I asked. "Theft." he said. "Theft of what?" I asked. "Milk bottles," he said, and with a perfectly straight face too! "Oh," I said. It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps. Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as part of the sixties' "youth counterculture". As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, "How long have you been following me?" in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable(品行不端的)character. A few minutes later a police car arrived. "Get in the back," they said. "Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don't move them." They got in on either side of me. It wasn't funny any more. At the police station they questioned me for several hours. I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation. When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I'd been looking for a job. "Aha," I could see them thinking, "unemployed". Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates' Court the following Monday. Then they let me go. I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good lawyer. We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness. But he was never called on to give evidence. My "trial" didn't get that far. The magistrate dismissed the case after fifteen minutes. I was free. The poor police had never stood a chance. The lawyer even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police. And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the "right" accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good lawyer. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my lawyer's case quite obviously revolved(回转)around the fact that I had a "brilliant academic record". Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police. "You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you," he said to me reproachfully(责备地). What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged (暴怒) and said something like, "Look here, do you know who you're talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me!" Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way.(1)Judging from the first paragraph, the writer's attitude towards his story is ____ .A. angryB. sadC. amusedD. more than just one the above(2)The first man who came up to him was ____ .A. a uniformed policemanB. a policeman in plainclothesC. not a policemanD. a good joker(3)The court never asked the author's English teacher to give evidence because ____ .A. the time for the trial was limited to fifteen minutes onlyB. the author wanted to conduct his own defense in courtC. the case was dismissed before the trial reached that stageD. he was found to be unqualified as a character witness(4)The author believes that he would most probably have been declared guilty if ____ .A. the magistrate had been less gentleB. he had really been out of workC. he had been born in a lower-class familyD. both B and C(5)In the opinion of one of the policeman who had arrested the author, the whole thing might not have occurred if ____ .A. he had protested strongly at the timeB. he had begged to be allowed to go homeC. he hadn't wandered aimlesslyD. he had tried to look cool(6)We can see from the passage that the author ____ .A. has broken the law only onceB. has never broken the lawC. has broken the law on more than one occasionD. once broke the law without knowing it

A theme is emerging from the flood of recent corporate earnings reports: cost cuts are boosting profits. Investors are cheering, but they shouldn’t. Even in these tough times, more CEOs should be talking about how they are seeking out investments, developing new technologies and making acquisitions. That’s what will set their companies up for a stronger future. Intel Corp.’s former CEO Gordon Moore had it right when he said years ago that “you can’t save your way out of a recession.” He meant that even in the toughest times, companies have to spend money on new ideas. Recessions always end, Moore often said, and when they do, companies that embraced innovation (创新) during the downturn won’t be stuck with obsolete products and services. Instead, they’ll have new things to offer once demand picks up again. “Customers don’t come out of recessions spending the way they did before,” said Chunka Mui, who has studied how companies can capitalise on opportunities during crises at his Chicago-based consulting firm, The Devil’s Advocate Group. “They demand something different.” Surprisingly few companies are following Moore’s advice of innovating during recessions. Many have been weakened by the pullback in consumer and business spending as well as tight credit conditions, which is making it harder for companies to get loans to fund their operations. That’s driven some to hold cash and make drastic cost cuts. They’re slashing (大幅度削减) jobs and wages and closing stores and factories. The aggressive cuts have allowed companies to exceed Wall Street’s expectations for their earnings. In fact, the “good” news has sent the Dow Jones industrial average above 10,000 for the first time in a year. The problem is that too many companies are making widespread, not focused cuts. They’re telling every division to cut 10 percent of their work force or slashing marketing dollars by the same amount companywide. “That is a quick way to rid a company of costs. But it doesn’t help it get in a better position going forward”, says Cesare Mainardi, managing director at the consulting firm Booz & Co. and co-author of the new book Cut Costs , Grow Stronger , “and a downturn like this should force people’s hand”. 1 What does the author think companies should do during a recession? A Cut jobs and wages so as to save more money. B Seek ways to make the company go forward. C Try hard to get loans to fund their operations. D Motivate the employees by raising the salaries. 2 According to Gordon Moore, when the recession ends, companies that didn’t innovate will ____ . A enjoy faster development with the money saved B set up more factories as consumer demand grows C be hindered by out-of-date products and services D attract more customers with traditional products 3 How do consumers change after the economic crisis? A They lose confidence in the market. B They start to live within their means. C They have different ways of spending. D They try to avoid unnecessary expenditure. 4 What’s Cesare Mainardi’s opinion about companies’ large-scale cuts? A They do no good to companies’ future development. B They help the companies out of the crisis quickly. C They are the only way to get the expected profits. D They force the employees to work much harder. 5 What can be the best title for this passage? A Recession Not as Bad as Expected B Ways to Save You Out of the Crisis C Financial Crisis Spreading the World D Innovation Needed Even in Recessions

On that day his father took him to the Children's Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin's parents would let him decide.Lin's eyes moved down the notice board that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at "Photography". He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin's family weren't poor, they weren't rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.The next course to catch his eyes was "Language Art". He didn't even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.Then he saw it. "Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.Based on Lin's hobby history, his dad had doubts(怀疑), but he agreed. Much to his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.(1)Why didn't Lin choose to study photography?A.It was too expensive.B.He had no interest in it.C.He was not very creative.D.It was not offered that term.(2)The underlined expression "catch his eyes" in Paragraph 4 means "______".A.make him excited B.cause him surprise C.get his attention D.help him see clearly(3)Which of the following best describes Lin's interest in cooking?A.It only lasted for a short time.B.It seemed to match his character.C.It was forced(强迫)on him by his parents.D.It developed slowly over many months.(4)Why did the father have doubts(疑问)about Lin's choice of cooking?A.Lin wasn't good at cooking.B.Cooking wasn't very convenient.C.He didn't think Lin would continue.D.Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy.(5)What's the best title for the passage?A.

Al is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced(制造)a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will ①______ because of AI. In some industries(行业), Al is already doing the ②______ that people used to do, such as assembling(装配)cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the drivers' jobs in the future.On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmes for AI systems(系统)and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced(取代)by AI. These include jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.Al is here.

阅读理解Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I would say "sorry, I am a stranger here."Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书)showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed(尴尬的)I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!(1)The writer always refuses to give people directions because ________.A.she is a stranger to the cityB.she doesn't know the peopleC.she has no time to help othersD.she's afraid of giving wrong directions(2)A man stopped the writer on the way to ________.A.sell her something B.ask her the time C.make friends with her D.ask for the direction(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.The writer is too shy to give others directions.B.The writer has a very poor sense of direction.C.The writer never got lost when she was young.D.The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.We all know that the British people love their manners. They are part of their national identity(特性), as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather. Recently I read online that they said "sorry" up to eight times a day.After some research I have not been able to find any specific reasons why they are like this. I suppose, for centuries, manners, including how they behave at table and talk to other people have been one of the differences between the lower and upper classes and those manners show their social classes. Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative(保守的)country. There are many articles suggesting that their seemingly polite attitude of always saying "please" and "thank you" is quite false because it is impossible for a person to always feel that he or she wants to thank someone or say "please".Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are too polite and hold back their feelings or they are not polite at all and express their true feelings directly. Some British people are tired of pretending that they are always happy and having to please others. But sometimes because they feel they have to be polite, they are prevented from saying what they truly think.(1)What don't the British people often do?A.Eat fish and chips.B.Have no quite good manners.C.Be polite to others.D.Talk about the weather.(2)What do the British people say up to eight times every day?A.Hello. B.Thank you. C.I don't know. D.Sorry.(3)What does the underlined word "pretending" mean in Chinese?A.打算 B.假装 C.想象 D.体验(4)What does the writer think are the reasons why the British people are so polite? ①The upper classes should have good manners. ②They have learned much about politeness at school. ③They like to hold back their true feelings. ④They are not honest at all.A.①② B.③④ C.①③ D.②④Parents used to be only parents many years ago. But in fact parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally(感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force(强迫)their child to love science too. But what if(要是……又怎样)their child's true love is art, or writing, or car repair?Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and televisions also teach us. All of them are valuable.(1)Parents may hope that their children have the same ________ as their own, according to the text.A.looks B.interests C.habits D.jobs in the future(2)When children get older, they ________.A.don't believe their parents any moreB.Should always believe what their parents doC.believe that their parents are always rightD.begin to have their own ways of thinking(3)What is the best title of the text?A.Never Grow UpB.elieve Your Parents ForeverC.Are Parents Always the Best TeachersD.How Many Teachers Can We Have in Our LivesA trip to Seoul, South Korea(韩国)Day 1Our guide will meet you at Incheon International Airport(仁川国际机场)in the morning.

And it is on show across China on Monday, a day before Teachers' Day.The film "She Lights up the Mountains" is about the stories of Zhi Yueying. She is 58 and she has spent 39 years in a village primary school in Frengxin. She won China Central Television's 2016 Touching China Award because of her excellent jobs in February 2017. And she also won a national model teacher.Zhi began teaching at a primary school. An old classmate invited her to a new school in Niyang village soon after that. The village is about 1,000 meters high, and it is 45 km from the nearest town. It was over 200 km from her home. Although her family disagreed with her, she still decided to go.The school is in great need of all kinds of school things. Zhi had to grow vegetables herself because the village is short of food. Walking along the terrible mountain roads, she and some other teachers often carries textbooks and other things into the mountains.The film was made last year, and its team expected to show our country's education and improve the good points a teacher should have. Zhi thanked the team for its work, because the film said all her moving stories.(1)When did Zhi begin to teach?A.In 1961. B.In 1980. C.In 1981. D.In 2016.(2)What can we learn from the third paragraph?A.The village school is about 1,000 meters high.B.Zhi can ride bikes to the village school.C.Zhi's old classmate also went to the school.D.The nearest town is close to the village.(3)What might the village school need a lot?A.Students. B.Trees. C.Teachers. D.esks.(4)What's the best title for the passage?A.The village education of ChinaB.A village school teacher's storyC.The mountain school studentsD.Village school's dreams阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。Remember when you were a little child trying to learn to walk?First, you had to learn how to balance(平衡)yourself and stand. You fell down, and then got back up. You laughed sometimes and cried at other times. After much practice, you finally learned how to balance yourself. You got much pleasure from this new feeling of power—you'd stand everywhere you could. It was a happy time—you did it!Now, the next step-walking. You'd seen others do it. It didn't look that hard—just move your legs while you were standing. Wrong-more difficult than you ever imagined. But after you tried again and again and again, you understood how to walk.If people found you walking, they cheered. "Oh, look at what the kid is doing." This encouraged you!

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
