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
【S8】

选项

答案B

解析 此处需填入名词。由空前的Another可知空处表示的事物与上文的儿童教育一样影响智力的发展,再结合下文初中生的例子可知intervention符合文意,表示“干预”。
