1、Questionsare based on the following passage．
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 36 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 37 ．
If intelligence were deeply connected with our genes，that would lead to the depressing conclusion on that neither schooling nor antipoverty programs can 38 much．Yet while this view of I.Q．has been widely held, new evidence shows that it is 39 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 40 I.Q．The Milwaukee Project，for example，took African-American children considered at risk for mental retardation（迟钝）and assigned them 41 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 42 an I．Q．of 110，compared with 83 for children in the control group．Another proven 43 is to tell junior-high-school students that l．Q．is expandable，and that their intelligence is something they can help shape．Students exposed to that idea work 44 and get better grades．
The implication of this new research on intelligence is that if we were to 45 early childhood
education and support schooling，we might be able to raise America’s collective I.Q．significantly．注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

4、Questions are based on the following passage．
The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn't an either/or proposition (命题), although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) -related fields can make it seem that way．
The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also asserts that the study of the humanities (人文科学) and social sciences must remain central components of America's educational system at all levels．Both areas are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative (创新的) leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides．
