In our population, which is now about 167 million, it is estimated there are more than 33 million people with I. Q. ’s below 90; it is a disturbing thought that these people will never, at any age, read much more than comic books, newspaper headlines, and the simplest of best sellers, nor will they be able to make intelligent judgments on any complicated, important national or international problem. The intellectuals, of course, are at the other end of the scale, they are people with I. Q. ’s of 130 or more, and there are slightly more than five million. From130 to the top of the scale, there are only 2.1 million people. Careful tests have shown that at least half of these high I.Q. people are never discovered, do not go to college, and live out their lives in humble, even though usually respected, occupations. The identified intellectual, therefore, will at best be only one person in 46, and is more likely to be one person in 150. It is not surprising that he feels a little queer, and is regarded by others as even more so.
The fact that there are divisions between groups along the I. Q. scale is an intricate matter. For one thing, the people at any given level show a curious tendency to disapprove of the mental activities of the people at every other level, above or below. The scorn of the highbrow when he sees a comic book reader is equal to the contempt of the vigorous, median-I. Q. foot ball player for the genius who pities oneself, reading poetry when he could be getting a good workout in the gym. It is a curious fact that high intelligence is rarely associated with the excess adrenal activity necessary for success in the hard, competitive world of business; the high brow comes rather low on the pecking order of humans. Each group sublimates its hostility, the intellectual often by writing something cutting about the businessman, the latter by driving a remarkably more expensive car than the former can afford.
A complicating factor is the rise of the mass media of communication--television, radio, the movies, and magazines with multimillion circulations. Many observers have pointed out that while all of these, to succeed, must be aimed at the median I. Q. , the creative efforts involved have to the made at a much higher level: this situation frequently stultifies the creative intelligence of those who earn their livings through mass communication.
One can properly infer from this article that______.
选项
A、intellectually, our population is not homogeneous
B、regardless of I. Q. , people must learn to live and work together
C、high-I. Q. people are inclined to be more critical than low-I. Q. people
D、people should constantly seek to improve their I. Q. levels
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。纵观全文,根据作者各个方面的论述,我们很容易推断出:人们的智力是不相同的。故选项A是正确答案。选项B的观点虽也不错,但原文中没有涉及这个话题;关于选项C文章也没有说智商高的人更为挑剔;选项D作者也没有提到。
