But his intelligence comes at

22、 a cost. His parents must keep him intellectually simulated（啟發(fā)）while making sure he is like any other little boy. Mark has been attracted by the way how the world works since he was a baby. When he was 3, Mark was reading fluently, mostly self-taught. His parents haven't been able to keep him aw

23、ay from books since. "I tried many times to stop him reading. We worry about his crazy fond of reading because he constantly wants to read every-thing whatever it is.” A psychologist at the Centre for gifted children tested Mark and gave him an IQ of 200. The average child of Mark's age has

24、 an IQ of 100. At 200, Mark is a genius-even compared with other child geniuses. "With children like Mark you can tell that's a bright child as soon as they walk in. They just have this sort of intensity, and maybe they're not so good at communicating with people," the psychologist

25、 said. "He will never fit perfectly into a class where he's with children of his age.”But Mark's mother worries about the "socially isolated" labels. "Nobody wants their child to grow up with that image. I want him to communicate with others freely, but not to be frustrat

26、ed academically, so it's really hard to find a balance," she says. Helen Dudeney from the Talented and Gifted Children Association says Mark is one in a million with such a high IQ. She points out that geniuses are still rare and difficult for the public education system to handle. "Th

27、e lack of coping comes because teachers aren't trained in teaching gifted children," says Dudeney. Helen believes it's also extremely important for them to be recognized and supported in their talents. Mark's parents are trying to figure out how best to help Mark. At the moment, the

28、re are few options. Mark finds first year work boring and simple, but he must learn to complete the work. His mother says, "We just want to be happy. Just to have a happy childhood and want to go to school every day.”1By saying "But his intelligence comes at a cost. ",the author means

29、 that A. Mark must pay for his intelligence at a high priceB. Mark's intelligence brings him negative effects at the same timeC. Mark's intelligence results from his parentsD. Mark's parents make Mark clever at all costs2Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Mar

30、k's parents are very satisfied with his love for reading.B. Mark began to teach himself reading at the age of 3.C. Many child geniuses are not good at communicating with others.D. It is hard for parents to bring up a genius.3If there are 6. 6 billion people in the world, the number of geniuses w

32、re on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon （絲帶）around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City , Kahlo

33、 suffered from polio（小兒麻痹癥）at the age of seven. Her spine （脊柱）become bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. How

34、ever, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Riveras strong influences on Kahlos style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, kn

35、own today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlos works remained

36、 largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last. 1What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in paragraph 1 most nearly mean?A. a far better artist B. a far more gifted artistC. a much stronger person D. a much more famous person 2The terrible pain

37、 Kahlo suffered was caused by .A. polio B. back injuries C. the operations she had D. her bent spine3Kahlos style had become increasingly independent since the .A. 1950s B. 1930s C. 1940s D. 1970s4What is authors attitude toward Kahlo?A. Devotion B. Sympathy C. Worry D. EncouragementC“Long time no s

38、ee” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friends email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend

39、told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a research on . To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, newspapers,

40、movies, books, or any other possible places. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Ironically, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence

41、. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chans movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was

42、his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they change the color and taste of each ot

43、her. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少數(shù)民族的成員) group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi fr

44、om Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese

45、 green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.1The writer himself felt surprised at _. A. the Chingli
