问题     Poor people have I.Q.’s significantly lower than those of rich people, and the awkward conventional wisdom has been that this is in large part a【S1】______of genetics. After all, a series of studies seemed to indicate that I.Q. is largely inherited. Identical twins raised apart, for example, have I.Q.’s that are remarkably【S2】______.
    If intelligence were deeply connected with our genes, that would lead to the depressing conclusion that neither schooling nor antipoverty programs can【S3】______much. Yet while this view of I.Q. has been widely held, new evidence shows that it is【S4】______wrong. Richard Nisbett, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, has just proved it completely wrong in a new book, Intelligence and How to Get It.
    Professor Nisbett strongly advocates intensive early childhood education because of its proven ability to【S5】______I.Q. The Milwaukee Project, for example, took African-American children considered at risk for mental retardation(迟钝)and assigned them【S6】______either to a control group that received no help or to a group that enjoyed intensive day care and education from 6 months of age until first grade. By age 5, the children in the program【S7】______an I.Q. of 110, compared with 83 for children in the control group. Another proven【S8】______is to tell junior-high-school students that I.Q. is expandable, and that their intelligence is something they can help shape. Students exposed to that idea work【S9】______and get better grades.
    The implication of this new research on intelligence is that if we were to【S10】______early childhood education and support schooling, we might be able to raise America’s collective I.Q. significantly.
A)previously B)intervention C)harder D)similar
E)raise F)factor G)averaged H)interfere
I)randomly J)profoundly K)push L)analyzed
M)function N)diligent O)accomplish
【S3】
选项
答案O
解析 此处需填入动词原形。联系上文可知此处表示学校教育和扶贫计划都不能提高智商，accomplish有“实现”之义，放回原文指学校教育和扶贫计划“成效甚微”，故为答案。interfere“干预”有贬义，不符合语境，应注意排除；function“起作用”符合语境，但空后的much不能修饰function，故排除。
