1、2015-2016学年度第二学期5月月考试卷第I卷（选择题）评卷人得分I、1. 阅读理解（15小题，30分） 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 yesTo some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and n
2、o amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligenceOn the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundingsThus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but
3、 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 degree something we are born withThe closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are
4、 likely to be in intelligenceThus if we take two unrelated people at random（随机地）from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely differentIf on the other hand we take two identical（完全相同的） twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each otherRelations like
5、 brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory
6、 where the work is boringWe would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a partThis 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

10、loping Intelligence B After years of research and testing, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. Its an interesting and exciting new improvement in todays world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and conserve our natural resources. The quality of ou
11、r air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline which are used to power a cars engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and th
12、e automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution. A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electri
13、c, you have to plug it in to charge it. But thats not how it works. The 144 volt battery pack is actually recharged( 充电 ) through the energy that is produced when the cars brakes are used. This is referred to as “regenerative braking”, because it generates electricity. Although the hybrid car still
14、runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically ( 自动地；机械地 )shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up. Have you ever
15、 ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldnt happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, “I am low on gas”. When it completely runs out, the warning reads, “YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!” Then the electric power supply kicks in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.5According to the passage, the word “hybrid” refers to _.A. a high tech discovery B. energy savingC. a new invention D. a combination of two thing
