The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that

文章背景

Intelligence(智力的进化)，命题专家对原文进行了一定的简化，但是意思没有发生丝毫的变化。

文章采用了总分的叙述方式，文章第一段的前两句话就是文章叙述的主题，全片文章围绕这个主题展开。
第一段：
The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that
dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran is 1 to say it anyway.(总述)
第二段：
Together with another two scientists, he is publishing a paper which not only 7 that one group of
humanity is more intelligent than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about.(分述)
第三段：
This group generally does well in IQ test…

答案详解
1.【解析】[B] 语义衔接题。本题目选择动词过去分词形式，构成be…to 的结构，在句子中充当谓语。 选项A. selected 选择;B. prepared 准备;C. obliged迫使，责成;D. pleased 高兴。前边相邻句子The idea that some people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak
its name. "一些人比另一些人聪明，这一观点一直是人们不敢明确提出来的假设之一。" 本题所在句子由But一词引导，在句义上与前一句相反，即"打算或准备说了"，故选B。
2.【解析】[D] 语义衔接/词汇辨析题。本题目选择形容词，在句子中充当定语。选项A. unique 独一无二的;B. particular 特殊的，特别的;C. special 特殊的;D. rare 珍惜的，罕见的，珍贵的。rare birds意为"稀世珍品，旷世奇才，罕见人(物)"， Gregory Cochran打破常规，准备说了，因此像是"出头鸟"。
3.【解析】[A] 惯用衔接题。independent其后应搭配of，意为"独立于，不依赖于"。还应注意dependent后面还可搭配on，但意为"依赖于， 依靠于"。He is that rare bird, a scientist who works independentlyany
institution. "他就是那个稀有之人，是一位不依赖于任何机构的独立的科学家"。
4.【解析】[C] 语义衔接题。本题目选择副词，在句子中充当状语。句子叙述到He helped popularize
the idea that some diseases notthought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which ruffled many
scientific feathers when it was first suggested. "他普及了这种观点，即某些以前人们认为不是由细菌引起的疾病实际上是传染病，这一观点一经提出就引起了极大争议。" 分析本句结构可以看出：that引导
