______ __________________________________________________ __________________________________
解析：

It seemed normal when Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son wanted to play chess with his parents. However, it
was
unusual
when
he
revealed
that
he
already
knew
how
to
play
—
before
anyone
taught
him.
Apparently
the
two-year-old
had
learned
all
of
the
rules
by
watching
his
parents.
By
age
4,
he
was
competing
in
national
tournaments.
By
age
12,
he
was
Vietnam's
youngest
champion.
Another
two-year-old
child, Jay Greenberg, likewise surprised his parents by drawing pictures of musical instruments
that he had never seen. They soon discovered that Jay
compose music
at age
3.
By age
10, he
was attending
the
prestigious Julliard Conservatory
in
New
York, composing
full symphonies. Jay
was
noted not
only for the quality
of
his
musical work,
but
also
the
speed
at
which
he
was
able
to
produce
it.
That
is,
while
talented
professional
composers
normally
write
five
or
six
symphonies
in
a
lifetime,
Jay
wrote
five
by
the
age
of
12.
Child
prodigies
such
as
these
are
a
mystery
to
experts
and
non-experts
alike.
On
the
one
hand,
they
attract
praise
and attention from everyone they meet: on the other hand, they attract criticism and they find
it difficult to fit in with the rest of the world. Child prodigies are highly intelligent, but
this
is
not
the only factor
that
sets
them apart. They are
considered
prodigies
because
of
their
exceptional
ability
in
one
domain,
or
area.
Experts
define
prodigy
as

young
child
who
displays
mastery of field that is usually undertaken by adults.
structured areas such as language, math, drawing, chess, and music. They are not as likely to
appear
in
less
structured
domains
such
as
medicine,
law,
or
creative
writing,
areas
that
require
experience. Child prodigies can focus their attention for long periods of time, concentrating
on
tasks that
would bore other
children
of the
same
age. Two-year-old
Nguyen Ngoc Truong
Son had
the
concentration
to
play
chess
for
hours
at
a
time.
The
distinction
of

thus
goes
beyond
mere intelligence. For explanations, experts look in two directions: nature, the child's unique
biology, and nurture, the child's environment. When researchers look to nature to explain child
prodigies, they study innate or inborn qualities. For example, they look at whether the brain
structure of a prodigy is different from that of a child with average intelligence. Technology
is a great help on answering this question. For instance, scientists utilize imaging technology
to see the amount of activity in different parts of the brain. These brain scans reveal that the
frontal
lobe
of
a
prodigy's
brain
is
very
active,
unlike
children
with
average
intelligence
doing
the
same
tasks.
Their
frontal
lobes
are
virtually
inactive.
Scientists
have
proven
that
the
frontal
lobe of the brain controls many aspects of thought and concentration. This may explain how
prodigies can focus on a task, solve complex problems, and learn quickly. When researchers look
to
nurture
to
explain
child
prodigies,
they
focus
on
the
child's
environment
instead
of
the
child's
biology. The most important factor on the nurture side is the parents. Raising a child prodigy
is extremely challenging. It requires considerable patience, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Some parents are delighted by the extraordinary abilities of their children. They make use of
all the resources they have or can find to support them. For example, Jay Greenberg's parents
bought their 2-year-old son a cello when he requested it and arranged for music lessons. Other
parents
are
not
so
supportive
of
their
child
prodigy.
On
the
contrary,
some
parents
even
see
their
offspring's
gifts
as
a
way
to
draw
attention
to
themselves
and
their
own
interests.
Boris
Si-dis,
for example, was a well-known scientist with strong opinions about making the most of one's
intelligence and about raising children. When his son Billy was born, Boris saw the child as an
opportunity to test his theories. When people are unusual, they attract attention. In the case
of child prodigies, the attention they receive is both positive and negative. It is positive
because
most
people
admire
intelligence.
It
is
negative
because
prodigies
are
very
different
from
other people. They are a challenge for teachers, who expect 7-year-olds to prefer Batman to
Beethoven. They are a challenge to parents, who want to help them but often lack the resources
or find their needs and desires difficult to understand and meet. They present a challenge to
scientists, who want to study them without further isolating them from normal society. And they
challenge the world because they reveal the tendency that people have to reject those who are
different from the norm. Questions 56 to 60Mark each statement as either true(T)or
false(F)according to the passage.

解析：解析：在第四段开头提到，神童智商很高，但这不是将他们区分开来的唯一 一个因素，他们之所以
被认为是神童是因为他们在某一个领域的特殊能力。由此可知，定义神童有两个因 素，一是高智商，二是
在某个领域拥有特殊才能。题干描述与文章意思一致，因此正确。

解析：解析：文章中提到神童的父母也分为两类人，一类是为孩子的特 殊才能感到欣喜并尽可能的给孩子
提供帮助，开发其潜能；另一类父母则十分不赞成这种做法，认为孩子 这种才能只是一种想吸引别人注意
的表现。因此，并非所有的父母都会给孩子提供教育和客观资源，所以 本题表述与文意不符，因此错误。

Read the following passage. Choose from the sentences A
—
G the one which best fits each gap of
61
—
65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. For most of human history,

—
people traded goods and services with each other individually,
as families, or as small tribal groups. 1They were farmers, tailors, laborers, soldiers. They
exchanged
their
goods
or
services
for
everything
else
they
needed.
Regions
started
to
specialize
in a
few
types of
goods and services
and commenced regular
trading with
other regions.
Societies
created currency, which allowed people to sell their work for money and then use that money to
buy the work of others. Urban areas grew and business practices expanded. Eventually, several
tradespeople joined together to make one larger business enterprise
—
a company.
In the mid
16th
century,
the
Muscovy
Company
had
a
monopoly
on
trade
routes
from
England
to
Russia
—
the
only
way to ship things between England and Russia was to pay Muscovy. In 1555, it became the first
joint-stock
company.
A
joint-stock
company
is
one
in
which
investors
give
money
to
help
a
company
expand
operations.
They
then
receive
a
portion
of
the
profit
that
the
company
makes.
The
investors
own stock in the company. Muscovy's success inspired many imitators. Joint-stock companies soon
started
to
multiply.
2
In
the
1670s,
the
English
East
India
Co.
became
the
first
company
to
offer
many
different
types
of
products
and
services,
and
to
have
parallel
operations
in
many
countries
at the same time
—
the first multinational corporation. It reached the height of its power in
the
late
17th
and
early
18th
centuries.
The
East
India
Co.
even
became
a
military
force.
It
occupied
nations and created its own currency. It monopolized trade between East and West in tea, opium,
and
gunpowder.
3It
dominated
the
U.
S.
oil
industry.
People
said
that
Standard
Oil
was
a
monopoly
and that this was wrong. Rockefeller defended his company:
competition
continued.

For
Rockefeller,
monopolies
were
good.
Competition
prevented
companies
from growing large enough to provide certain services society needed. Some public
utilities(electricity, water, trash removal)still operate as monopolies. This allows local
government to control and monitor the quality of these services on behalf of the people using
them.
4In
the
early
part
of
the
20th
century,
companies
needed
to
compete
with
each
other
to
attract
customers. This meant that people had more choices about what they bought. Price went down and
quality went up. General Motors(GM)executive Alfred Sloan adopted a policy that corresponded to
these changes in the marketable and people's expectations. He declared in 1924 that his company
would
have

car
for
every
purse
and
purpose.

GM
would
put
the
customer
first,
not
the
company.
This

the
United
States.
5In
the
1970s,
trader
Michael
Milken
started
working
with

bonds
These
were
high- risk
investments
that
had
the
potential
to
increase
many
times
in value. The possibility of high returns in a small investment induced thousands and thousands
of people to buy junk bonds. Milken became rich and famous. Soon, however, most of these high
risk investments failed. Investors lost millions of dollars. In 1989, Milken went to jail for
fraud, for tricking people into buying something that was actually worthless. Questions 61 to
65A.
Most
of
them
wanted
to
control
trade
routes
from
Europe
to
the
New
World.B.
For
most
business,
however, Rockefeller's ideas about competition proved to be wrong.C. Business in the new
millennium is changing yet again.D. Finding workers with the right educational background, work
experience,
and
language
skills
can
also
be
very
difficult.E.
As
time
went
on
and
societies
formed,
people began to specialize, to devote their time and energy to one type of work.F. As more and
more companies expanded into corporations in the 1950s and 60s, people found new ways to make
money
from
successful,
and
unsuccessful,
businesses.G.
By
the
1870s,
many
corporations
had
become
strong
and
powerful.
John
D.
Rockefeller,
for
example,
built
the
Standard

Company
into
a

super-efficient corporation.

。

Every year, new roller coasters are built that are bigger, faster, and wilder than ever. Tower
rides are dropping us farther. Flat rides are spinning us with unimaginable new twists. It all
seemed like good clean fun until June 2, 2001. A 28-year- old woman was found unconscious after
a three- minute ride on the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia,
California. Paramedics rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The Los
Angeles County coroner attributed her death to a pre- existing condition. The woman had a brain
aneurysm
that
could
have
broken
at
any
time.
Rather
than
calm
people,
the
coroner's
ruling
created
a controversy that may continue for years to come. The death was one of fifteen fatalities or
serious
brain
injuries
that
had
occurred
over
the
prior
ten
years
among
otherwise
healthy
people
who
had
just
taken
thrill
rides.
By
the
tens
of
thousands,
children
and
adults
line
up
for
thrill
rides in amusement parks a-round the world. These rides are designed to provide the extreme
physical sensations you just don't get walking down the street. To find out whether riders need
to be as fit as jet pilots to handle the thrills, popular mechanics asked one of the people best
qualified
to
answer,
Captain
David
L.
Steinhister.

Would
Air
Force-style
preflight
medical screening have saved any of those who died soon after coaster rides? That will remain
a matter of speculation, but it does raise the question of whether more regulations are needed
on
thrill
rides.
The
amusement
industry
doesn't
think
so,
and
the
scientific
evidence
that
exists
appears to concur. The latest evidence to support the amusement industry's position appeared in
the October 2002 issue of the Journal of Neurotrauma. University of Pennsylvania scientists Dr.
Douglas
H.
Smith
and David F.
Meaney
coauthored the
article,

data,
says Smith,
data from three high- g-force roller coasters and input the data into a mathematical model for
head
accelerations.
They
then
compared
the
results
to
known
thresholds
for
various
types
of
head
injuries.
They
found
that
the
high-est
head
accelerations
from
roller
coaster
rides
were
far
below
the minimum thresholds for other types of injuries. U. S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission(CPSC)statistics support Smith and Meaney's results. While injuries and occasional
fatalities do occur, they are primarily a result of a ride malfunction or from rider horseplay.
Statistically, amusement parks are still one of the safest places to have fun. According to the
most recent data provided by the CPSC and the National Sporting Goods Association, in the year
2000
there
were
far
fewer
emergency
room
treated
injuries
per
1000
visits
at
amusement
parks
than
there were for many other recreational activities. In that year, the CPSC estimates, there were
