When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表現(xiàn))，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．
For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all can be，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．Probably he isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．
If you look at children，you’ll see the great differences between what we call “bright” children and “non-bright” children．They are actually two different kinds of people，not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence．For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life, and he tries to get in touch with everything around him; while the unintelligent(不聰明的) child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general．
【小題1】According to this passage，intelligence is the ability to_________．

A．get some high scores on some tests
B．do well in school
C．deal with life
D．have a lot of book knowledge
【小題2】In a new situation，an intelligent person________．
A．knows more about what might happen to him
B．is sure of the result he will get
C．cares more about himself
D．keeps his mind on what to do about the situation
【小題3】If an intelligent person failed，he would_______．
A．try not to feel ashamed
B．learn from his mistakes
C．try to find all he could
D．make sure what result he would get
【小題4】Bright children and non-bright children________．
A．a(chǎn)re two different types of children
B．a(chǎn)re different mainly in their degree of cleverness
C．have differences only in their way of thinking
D．have different knowledge about the world


【小題1】C
【小題2】D
【小題3】B
【小題4】A

解析試題分析：本文講述了我們所謂的智商（intelligence）并不是指能夠在某種測(cè)試中獲得高分或在學(xué)校成績(jī)優(yōu)秀。而是指一種生活或行為的方式，特別是當(dāng)處在一種全新或混亂的情形下時(shí)。要想測(cè)試一個(gè)人的智商，就必須看他的行為而不是看他懂多少。
【小題1】由本文中的第一段 “By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving…t to do.” 可知答案C是正確的，所以本題選C。
【小題2】由本文中的第二段的第一、二句的when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him，可知答案D是對(duì)的，所以本題選D。
【小題3】由本文中的第二段的第四句And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes.，可知B是對(duì)的。learn from his mistakes等于 learn from his experiences。所以本題選B。
【小題4】由本文中的第三段的第二句hey are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. 可知A是對(duì)的. two different kinds of people等于two different types of children。所以本題選A。
考點(diǎn)：本題考查科普類文章
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文中長(zhǎng)句較多，一時(shí)很難讀懂句子含義，注意多讀幾遍，不要強(qiáng)求非得理解一詞一句的含義，能把握文章大意就行。然后帶著問(wèn)題閱讀短文，一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對(duì)于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問(wèn)題注意聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案

The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋轉(zhuǎn)）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（長(zhǎng)度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（傾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.
（  ）6.When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.
　　     A. both day and night              B. day

When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree. Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs. And they can even drive a car.

Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like pop music and they play it in their own rooms. They help us in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighbourhood, no clubs, and no sports.”

A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and makes them feel excited. Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.

Lewis, a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations but I can’t get a part- time job because older people always think I’ m lazy.”

In my opinion, a lot of teenagers are very kind. They belong to community(社區(qū)) work groups. They help old people, and they also volunteer in local hospitals or primary schools to help look after patients and younger students.
