Many of the images were stored in an ice chest，under freezing water，in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance，a small，tight，Norwegianbuilt threemaster that was inten
14、ded to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists，27 men in all，to the southernmost shore of Antarcticas Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert
15、 Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story The Endurance，adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scotts last

Strangely enough，the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth，and no amount
21、 of education can make a genius (天才)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 (环境). Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth，whether
22、or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view，now held by most experts，can be supposed 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
23、be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population，it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If，on the other hand，we take two identical twins，they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters，p
24、arents and children，usually have similar intelligence，and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical (完全相同的)twins and put them in different environments. We might send one，for example，to a university and the other to a factory where the working is
25、 boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing，and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This 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 similar degree of in

27、 born stupid.DIntelligence is fixed at birth，but is developed by the environment.D细节理解题。由第一段“Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth，whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.”可知，因此，人的智力的极限在出生时就已经确定了，他是否能达到这些极限将取决于他所处的环境。所以D选项“智力在出生时是固定的，但随着环境的变化而发展”最
28、能描述作者在第一段中的观点。故D选项正确。9It is suggested in this passage that Aunrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceBclose relations usually have similar intelligenceCthe closer the blood relationship between people，the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceDpeople who live in cl
29、ose contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligenceB推理判断题。由最后一段“This 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 similar degree of intelligence.”可知，这一结论也被一个事实证实，生活中彼此密切
30、接触的，但却完全没有血缘关系的人，他们的智力水平可能是相似的。所以这篇文章表明亲密关系的人通常有相似的智力。故B选项正确。10Brothers and sisters are likely to Ahave similar intelligenceBhave different intelligenceCgo to the same universityDgo to the same factoryA细节理解题。由倒数第二段“Relations like brothers and sisters，parents and children，usually have similar intelli
31、gence”可知，像兄弟姐妹、父母和孩子这样的关系，通常都有相似的智力。所以兄弟姐妹可能有相似的智力。故A选项正确。11The best title for this article would be “ ”AOn IntelligenceBWhat Intelligence MeansCWe Are Born with IntelligenceDEnvironment Plays a Part in Developing IntelligenceA标题归纳题。通读全文可知，A选项正确。DThe largestever study of the link between city walkab

39、ing and curing heart diseases.DThe pace of urbanization will be slowed down.B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activityfriendly and walkable”可知，如果我们能够通过对社区设计的微小改变来投资于创建健康的城市，使其更易于活动和步行。分析选项可知B项
40、符合题意，故选B。13What can be inferred from the study?AYoung people are more likely to benefit from increased walkability.BWalkable cities will cure a person of his or her high blood pressure.CChronic diseases are becoming common for peoples inattention to their health.DWalkable cities can help reduce bloo
