New research shows that intelligence
17、 is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.Scientific consensus (共识) suggests intelligence is controlled by genes, with
18、environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. After this point, IQ scores become steady. But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual s
19、timulation(刺激) from other people is important as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle-the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true - so people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.Pr
20、ofessor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables”. He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equally bright brothers and sisters.
21、However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remaining 20% is linked t
22、o lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.24. According to the text, it is commonly believed that _.A. peoples IQ levels
23、fall as they age B. it is wise to share family members viewsC. people cant improve their intelligence during adulthoodD. doing something challenging is good for ones intelligence25.

Learning from brothers or sisters27. The purpose of the text is to _.A. inform B. advertise C. entertain D. persuadeCOn a July afternoon in
25、 1937, 15-year-old Betty Brown was playing with her fathers shortwave radio at home in Florida. She was searching for her favorite songs so she could copy the lyrics down in a notebook. While daydreaming, Brown casually turned the dial on the radio until she heard something that made her stop. It wa
26、s a voice that sounded familiar. Back in those days, news clips (新闻摘要) were played at movie theaters. Brown recognized the voice from one of the news films she had seen. “ I heard Amelia Earhart in a panicked voice, a heartbreaking voice,” Brown recalled in a 2007 interview. “ She was saying, This i
27、s Amelia Earhart Putnam, please help me. Please hear me.”Brown quickly began writing down what she heard-parts of desperate conversations between the woman she believed was Earhart and an unknown man. Later, she decided that the man must have been Earharts navigator (领航员)，Fred Noonan. As the signal
28、faded in and out, Brown never left the radio. She scribbled (潦草地写) away as Earhart and Noonan struggled for control of the radio. Earhart tried to prevent Noonan from leaving the plane after they had apparently crash-landed. All the while, Earhart repeated strings of numbers and mentioned rising wat
29、er. After about three hours, Earhart and Noonan were seemingly forced to abandon the plane as it was filled with water, and the distress calls (求救信号) stopped. Brown and her father both tried to give her notes to the United States Coast Guard, but they were told the situation was under control. The s
30、earch for Earhart was abandoned after a great effort was made, and Brown eventually stopped trying to tell people what she heard. But she kept her notebook. In 2000, people from an organization researching Earharts disappearance asked to see it. The researchers were convinced that Browns notes were
31、reliable. If the researchers are right, the notes are a priceless, yet sorrowful, record of the sad ending of an American hero.28. Betty Brown stayed by the radio for so long because she _.A. was waiting for her music to come back onB. enjoyed recording peoples conversationsC. wanted to gather more
32、information about Earharts situationD. wanted to take notes for a book about Earhart29.
