A
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different.
56. Which of the following sentences best describes the writer's point on Paragraph 1?
A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
57. It is suggested in Paragraph 2 that _______.
A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
B. close relation usually have similar intelligence
C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
58. Whether a person can reach his intelligence depends on ________.
A. his reading B. his surroundings C. his parents D. his health
59. The best title for this article would be ________.
A. On Intelligence
B. What Does Intelligence Mean
C. We Are Born with Intelligence
D. Environments Play a Part in Developing Intelligence
B
The idea of fighting a noise
by making more noise sounds strange, .but that's exactly what motor engineers
are doing in
Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time with the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle, we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise-killing systems both inside and outside the cars.
Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer, which not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less oil and work better.
Some engineers believe that the carmakers haven't decided if they will put it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.
60. Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise-killing system works?
A. By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction.
B. By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves.
C. By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later.
D. By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending them out together.
61. Besides its main function the noise-killing system can _______.
A. make a car lighter B. make a car quieter
C. reduce the cost of a silencer D. improve the performance of a silencer
62. The noise-killing system is not yet popular mainly because ________.
A. it increases the cost of car production
B. carmakers are not sure if it is necessary
C. it is still being tried out
D. people still have their doubts

Studying Abroad
In recent years, studying abroad has been popular. Tens of thousands of Chinese students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best to apply to go abroad.
There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between people of different cultures. Second, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.
However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Of course the costs are much.
