Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with.
The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.
Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part.
This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
In the second paragraph "...if we take two unrelated people at random from the population" means if we ______.
选项
A、pick any two persons
B、take out two different persons
C、choose two persons who are relatives
D、choose two persons with different intelligence
答案
A
解析
本题为细节推理题。第二段中“On the other hand”连接的是前后两个相对的概念,紧接着的后一句说选择一对双胞胎作为实验对象,由此可判断选项B,C,D在意思上和 two identical twins 表达的概念不存在相对的意义。at random:随意地。
