This article is mainly about
We know that, for the most part, the bigger a man’s muscles are, the stronger he is. Can it be claimed, then, that the larger the brain a man possesses, the smarter he is? The answer is no.
There are only two animals that have larger brains than man, the whale and the elephant. Yet, in proportion to his size, man’s brain is larger. Man’s usually weighs about three pounds or a little more, and this is about one-fortieth of the weight of his whole body. The whale’s body, on the other hand, is a thousand times heavier than its brain, while the elephant’s body is about five hundred times as heavy.
But a man who has a large brain is not necessarily more intelligent than one whose brain is smaller. We know that geniuses have existed who have had very large brains, but there have been others whose brains were rather small. Idiots have been known to have very large brains. We do not understand precisely why some people are more intelligent than others. Whether our brains are relatively large or small is less important than that we try to do our very best.
选项
A、the weight of a whale’s brain.
B、the brains of geniuses.
C、the size of a person’s brain and his intelligence.
D、the intelligence of the elephant.
答案
C
解析
A 和D 跟动物有关,而B 和C 与人有关,根据第20题的问题可知,本篇短文的主题应与人有关,故B 和C 其中之一为答案。此外,短文开头部分提到了...the larger the brain a man possesses...The answer is no,其后又介绍了人脑的体积和重量,最后谈到了人的智力,故答案为C 。
