问题     There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ greauy, some being more capable (能干的) than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is disabled environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never gain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
    The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be shown by the case of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were 3 months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes. Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence in an isolated (孤立的) community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was brought up in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity. The difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they’ve given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
The passage suggests that an individual’s IQ________.

选项 A、can be increased by education
B、is passed down from his parents
C、stays the same throughout his life
D、can be predicted at birth

答案A

解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第四句“But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. ”可知不管一个人的大脑有多好,除非他有机会学习,否则他的智力水平就会很低。教育会影响智力。故选A。
