TOEFL模拟测试题（1-2）READING COMPREHENSIONAs many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe -- sun-baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes lookedremarkably like modem apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quartersfor perhaps thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. Thesebuildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defenseagainst enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must haverealized since they called them "pueblos", which is Spanish for town.The people or the pueblos raised what are called "the three sisters" -- corn, beans, andsquash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they couldhold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi andZuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Waterwas so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborateceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature.Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands betweenthe Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animalssuch as rabbits and snakes.In the Far North the ancestors of today s Inuit hunted seals, walruses,and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocksof packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou.The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on thegrasslands between the rocky mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted bisoncommonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was usedto make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tipis .1.What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) The architecture of early American Indian buildings(B) The movement of American Indians across North America(C) Ceremonies and rituals of American Indians(D) The way of life of American Indian tribes in early North America2.

Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressedessays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subjects were varied: animals,laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that shefound striking or insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotationmarks, and sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote, " Why the manyquotation marks? I am asked......When a thing has been said so well that it could not be saidbetter, why paraphrase it? Hence my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collectionof flies in amber." Close observation and concentration on detail are the methods of her poetry.Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St.Louis. After graduation fromBryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle,Pennsylvania. Later she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920 s she was editorof The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life, mostlyin Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals.Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers---before the team moved to Los Angeles ---waswidely known.Her first book of poems was published in London in1921 by a group of friends associatedwith the Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with interest bysucceeding generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was award the Pulitzer Prize for herCollected Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry "for money or fame. To earn a livingis needful, but it can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has a burning desire toobjectify what it is indispensable to one s happiness to express......."13. What is the passage mainly about?(A) The influence of the Imagists on Marianne Moore.(B) Essayists and poets of the 1920 s(C) The use of quotations in poetry(D) Marianne Moor s life and work14. Which if the following can be interred about Moore s poems?(A) They are better known in Europe than the United States.(B) They do not use traditional verse forms.(C) They were all published in The Dial.(D) They tend to be abstract.15. According to the passage Moore wrote about all of the following EXCEPT(A) artists(B) animals(C) fossils(D) workers16. What does Moore refer to as "flies in amber" (line 9)?(A) A common image in her poetry(B) Poetry in the twentieth century(C) Concentration on detail(D) Quotations within her poetry17. The author mentions all of the following as jobs held by Moore EXCEPT(A) commercial artist(B) teacher(C) magazine editor(D) librarian18. The word "period" in line 13 is closest in meaning to(A) movement(B) school(C) region(D) time19.Where did Moore spend most of her adult life?(A) In Kirkwood(B) In Brooklyn(C) In Los Angeles(D) In Carlisle20.The word "succeeding" in line 19 is closest in meaning to(A) inheriting(B) prospering(C) diverse(D) later21 . The word "it" in line 21 refers to(A) writing poetry(B) becoming famous(C) earning n living(D) attracting readers22.It can be inferred from the passage that Moore wrotebecause she(A) wanted to win awards(B) was dissatisfied with what others wrote(C) felt a need to express herself(D) wanted to raise money for the Bronx ZooWhat makes it rain? Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to Earth.The Earth s gravity pulls it.But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals. Whydoesn t rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds areexceedingly small.The effect or gravity on them is minute. Air currents move and lift dropletsso that the net downward displacement is zero, even though the droplets are in constant motion.Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft ofsunlight. To the casual observer, dust seems to act in a totally random fashion, moving aboutchaotically without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles are much larger than water dropletsand they finally fall. The average size of a cloud droplet is only 0.0004 inch in diameter. It is sosmall that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air,and it does not fallout of moving air at all. Only when the droplet grows to diameter of 0.008 inch or larger canit fall from the cloud. The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tinycloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet to a size largeenough to fall out is the cause ofrain and other forms of precipitation. This important growth process is called "coalescence.23. What is the main topic of the passage?(A) The mechanics of rain(B) The weather patterns of North America(C) How Earth s gravity affects agriculture(D) Types of clouds24.The word "minute in line 4 is closest in meaning to which of the following?(A) second(B) tiny(C) slow(D) steady25 .Thc word "motion in line 5 is closest in meaning to(A) wind(B) change(C) movement(D) humidity26.Ice crystals do NOT immediately fall to Earth because(A) they are kept aloft by air currents.(B) they combine with other chemicals in the atmosphere(C) most of them evaporate(D) their electrical charges draw them away from the earth27. The word "random" in line 7 is closest in meaning to(A) unpredictable(B) perplexing(C) independentI(D) abnormal28.What can be inferred about drops of water larger than0.008 inch in diameter?(A) They never occur.(B) They are not affected by the force of gravity.(C) In still air they would fall to earth.(D) In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty -two miles per hour.29 How much bigger is a rain drop than a cloud droplet ?(A) 200 times bigger(B) 1,000 times bigger(C) 100,000 times bigger(D) l,000,000 times bigger30. In this passage, what does the term "coalescence" refer to(A) The gathering of small clouds to form larger clouds(B) The growth of droplets(C) The effect of gravity on precipitation(D) The movement of dust particles in the sunlightPeople appear to be born to compute. The numerical skill of children develop so earlyand so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guidingtheir growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressiveaccuracy---one plate, one knife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they arecapable of noting that they have placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a hitlater, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, theymove on to subtraction. It seems almost reasonable toexpect that if a child were secluded on adesert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grademathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists hasilluminated the subtle froms of daily learning on which interllectual progress depends. Childrenwere observed as they slowly grasped---or ,as the case might be,bumped into---concepts thatadults take for granted, as they refuseed, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged aswater pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since demonstratedthat young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue orred pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such studies have suggested that therudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggestedthat the very concept of abstract numbers--- the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness thatapplies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematicallydemanding than setting a table--- is itself far from innate.31.What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) Trends in teaching mathematics to children(B) The use of mathematics in child psychology(C) The development of mathematical ability in children(D) The fundamental concepts of mathematics that children must learn32.It can be inferred from the passage that children normally learn simple counting(A) soon after they learn to talk(B) by looking at the clock(C) when they begin to be mathematically mature(D) after they reach second grade in school33.The word "illuminated in line 11 is closest in meaning to(A) iliustrated(B) accepted(C) clarified(D) lighted34 . The author implies that most small children believe that the quantity of waterchanges when it is transferred to a container of a different(A) color(B) quality(C) weight(D) shape35 .According to the passage, when small children were asked to count a pile ofred and blue pencils they(A) counted the number of pencils of each color(B) guessed at the total number of pencils(C) counted only the pencils of their favorite color(D) subtracted the number of red pencils from the number of blue pencils36. The word "They" in line 17 refers to(A) mathematicians(B) children(C) pencils(D) studies37. The word "prerequisite" in line 19 is closest in meaning to(A) reason(B) theory(C) requirement(D) technique38. The word "itself" in line 20 refers to(A) the total(B) the concept of abstract numbers(C) any class of objects(D) setting a table39. With which of the following statements would the author be LEAST likelyto agree?(A) Children naturally and easily learn mathematics .(B) Children learn to add before they learn to subtract.(C) Most people follow the same pattern of mathematical development(D) Mathematical development is subtle and gradual.40. Where in the passage does the author give an example of a hypotheticalexperiment ?(A) Lines 3-6(B) Lines 7-9(C) Lines 11-14(D) Lines 17-20Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiarposition in the history of human knowledge.For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans hadanything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our StoneAge ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies thatstill exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This islogical. Plants are the basis of the food, oyramid for all living things, even for other plants. Theyhave always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also forclothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribesliving today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and knowmany properties of each. To them botany, as such, has no name and is probably not evenrecognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all .Unfortunalely, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from directcontact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comesunconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge,and few people will fail torecognize a rose, an apple,or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the MiddleEast about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seedsplanted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants andhumans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture :cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlledproduction of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varietiesthat grew wild--- and the accumulated knoweldge of tens of thousands of years of experienceand intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.41 . Which of the following assumptions about early humans is expressed in the passage?(A) They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.(B) They divided knowledge into well-defined fields .(C) They did not enjoy the study of botany. .(D) They placed great importance on ownership of property.42. The word "peculiar" in line 1 is closest in meaning to(A) clear(B) large(C) unusual(D) important43. What does the comment "This is logical" in lines 5-6 mean ?(A) There is no clear way to determine the extent of ourancetors knowledge of plants.(B) It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants .(C) It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behavedvery much like peoplein preindustrial societies .(D) Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed.44. The phrase "properties of each" in line 10 refers to each(A) tribe(B) hundred(C) plant(D) purpose45.According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany declined?(A) People no longer value plants as a useful resource .(B) Botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.(C) Research is unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants.(D) Direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased.46. In line 15, what is the author s purpose in mentioning" a rose, an opple, or an orchid"?(A) To make the passage more poetic(B) To cite examples of plants that are attractive(C) To give botanical examples that most readers will recognize(D) To illustrate the diversity of botanical life47. According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practiceof agriculture ?(A) The invention of agricuitural implements and machinery(B) The development of a system of names for plants(C) The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted(D) The changing diets of early humans48. The word "controlled" in line 19 is closest in meaning to(A) abundant(B) managed(C) required(D) advanced49. The relationship between botany and agriculture is similar to the relationshipbetween zoology (the study of animals) and(A) deer hunting(B) bird watching(C) sheep raising(D) horseback riding50. Where in the passage does the author describe the benefits people derivefrom plants?(A) Line 1(B) Lines 6-8(C) Lines 10-11(D) Lines 13-15。

托福考试模拟试题(字数：1500)题目一：阅读理解Passage 1：Why Exercising Outdoors is Good for YouExercising outdoors offers numerous benefits that cannot be achieved in an indoor setting. The natural surroundings and fresh air can increase enjoyment and motivation, making outdoor exercise more appealing. Additionally, outdoor exercise provides a variety of terrains and surfaces, which can help improve balance and coordination.Furthermore, exposure to natural sunlight during outdoor exercise increases Vitamin D production in the body. This vitamin plays a crucial role in bone health and the immune system. Indoor exercise, on the other hand, may not provide the same level of sunlight exposure.Outdoor exercise also allows participants to connect with nature. Studies have shown that spending time in nature can reduce stress levels, boost mood, and improve overall mental well-being. The calming effect of nature can enhance the benefits of physical activity.To fully take advantage of outdoor exercise, individuals should consider their safety. Dressing appropriately for the weather conditions and staying hydrated are important factors to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.Passage 2：The Benefits of MeditationMeditation is an ancient practice that offers a wide range of benefits for both the mind and body. Numerous studies have shown that regular meditation can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It promotes a sense of calmness and inner peace.By practicing meditation, individuals can improve their focus and concentration. This carries over to daily life activities, allowing them to be more engaged and productive.Moreover, meditation has been found to lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. The deep relaxation achieved during meditation triggers the body's relaxation response, leading to better overall physical well-being.In addition, meditation can enhance self-awareness and promote a positive outlook on life. By quieting the mind and becoming aware of thoughts and emotions, individuals can develop a greater understanding of themselves and their inner motivations.To start practicing meditation, find a quiet and comfortable place, sit in a relaxed position, and focus on your breath. Set aside a few minutes each day to cultivate a daily meditation routine.Question:Based on the information provided in the passages, answer the following questions:1. What are the benefits of exercising outdoors?2. How does outdoor exercise contribute to vitamin D production?3. How can spending time in nature enhance the benefits of physical activity?4. What are the benefits of meditation for mental health?5. How does meditation promote physical well-being?题目二：听力理解Passage 1:Listen to a conversation between two friends, Sarah and Mike.Sarah: I'm thinking about going on a vacation to a tropical island next month. Do you have any suggestions?Mike: Oh, definitely! I recently visited Bali, and it was absolutely amazing. The beaches are pristine, and the weather is perfect.Sarah: That sounds lovely! Did you stay at a resort?Mike: Yes, I did. Bali has a wide range of resorts to choose from, catering to different budgets. I stayed at a luxurious beachfront resort with stunning views.Sarah: Wow, that sounds like a dream! What activities did you do?Mike: There are plenty of activities in Bali. I went snorkeling, visited temples, and even tried surfing.Sarah: I've always wanted to try surfing. Is it suitable for beginners?Mike: Absolutely! There are surfing schools that offer lessons for beginners. The instructors are very patient and supportive.Sarah: That's great to hear. I'll definitely consider Bali for my vacation. Thanks for the recommendation, Mike!Passage 2:Listen to a lecture by a professor discussing climate change and its effects.Professor: Climate change is a pressing issue that requires immediate attention. The increase in greenhouse gas emissions, primarily caused by human activities, has led to a rise in global temperatures. This phenomenon, commonly known as global warming, has far-reaching consequences.One of the major impacts of climate change is the melting of polar ice caps. As temperatures continue to rise, glaciers and ice sheets are melting at an alarming rate. This leads to rising sea levels, which pose a threat to coastal communities.Additionally, climate change is affecting weather patterns. Extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense. This has detrimental effects on agriculture, water resources, and human health.Furthermore, climate change disrupts ecosystems and biodiversity. Rapid changes in temperature and precipitation patterns can lead to the extinction of certain species, as well as shifts in habitats and ecosystems.To address climate change, it is crucial to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable practices and renewable energy sources. Every individual has a role to play in combating climate change and protecting our planet.Question:Based on the information presented in the passages, answer the following questions:1. Where did Mike recommend Sarah to go on vacation?2. What type of resort did Mike stay at in Bali?3. What activities did Mike do in Bali?4. What is one of the major impacts of climate change mentioned in the lecture?5. How can individuals contribute to addressing climate change?。

托福(阅读)模拟试卷1(题后含答案及解析)
托福（阅读）模拟试卷1(题后含答案及解析) 题型有： 3. Reading ComprehensionSections Three：Reading Comprehension“Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers”P1 Organisms that are capable of using carbon dioxide as their sole source of carbon are called autotrophs (self-feeders), or producers. These are the plants. They chemically fix carbon through photosynthesis. Organisms that depend on producers as their carbon source are called heterotrophs (feed on others), or consumers. Generally, these are animals. From the producers, which manufacture their own food, energy flows through the system along a circuit called the food chain, reaching consumers and eventually detritivores. Organisms that share the same basic foods are said to be at the same trophic level. Ecosystems generally are structured in a food web, a complex network of interconnected food chains. In a food web, consumers participate in several different food chains, comprising both strong interactions and weak interactions between species in the food web.P2 Primary consumers feed on producers. A Because producers are always plants, the primary consumer is called an herbivore, or plant eater. A carnivore is a secondary consumer and primarily eats meat. B A consumer that feeds on both producers (plants) and consumers (meat) is called an omnivore. CP3 Detritivores (detritus feeders and decomposers) are the final link in the endless chain. D Detritivores renew the entire system by releasing simple inorganic compounds and nutrients with the breaking down of organic materials. Detritus refers to all the dead organic debris—remains, fallen leaves, and wastes—that living processes leave. Detritus feeders—worms, mites, termites, centipedes, snails, crabs, and even vultures, among others—work like an army to consume detritus and excrete nutrients that fuel an ecosystem. Decomposers are primarily bacteria and fungi that digest organic debris outside their bodies and absorb and release nutrients in the process. This metabolic work of microbial decomposers produces the rotting that breaks down detritus. Detritus feeders and decomposers, although different in operation, have a similar function in an ecosystem.P4 An example of a complex community is the oceanic food web that includes krill, a primary consumer. Krill is a shrimplike crustacean that is a major food for an interrelated group of organisms, including whales, fish, seabirds, seals, and squid in the Antarctic region. All of these organisms participate in numerous other food chains as well, some consuming and some being consumed. Phytoplankton begin this chain by harvesting solar energy in photosynthesis. Herbivorous zoo-plankton such as krill and other organisms eat Phytoplankton. Consumers eat krill at the next trophic level. Because krill are a protein-rich, plentiful food, increasingly factory ships, such as those from Japan and Russia, seek them out. The annual krill harvest currently surpasses a million tons, principally as feed for chickens and livestock and as protein for human consumption.Efficiency in a Food WebP5 Any assessment of worldfood resources depends on the level of consumer being targeted. Let us use humans as an example. Many people can be fed if wheat is eaten directly. However, if the grain is first fed to cattle (herbivores) and then we eat the beef, the yield of available food energy is cut by 90% (810 kg of grain is reduced to 82 kg of meat); far fewer people can be fed from the same land area.P6 In terms of energy, only about 10% of the kilocalories (food calories, not heat calories) in plant matter survive from the primary to the secondary trophic level. When humans consume meat instead of grain, there is a further loss of biomass and added inefficiency. More energy is lost to the environment at each progressive step in the food chain. You can see that an omnivorous diet such as that of an average North American and European is quite expensive in terms of biomass and energy.P7 Food web concepts are becoming politicized as world food issues grow more critical. Today, approximately half of the cultivated acreage in the United States and Canada is planted for animal consumption —beef and dairy cattle, hogs, chickens, and turkeys. Livestock feed includes approximately 80% of the annual corn and nonexported soybean harvest. In addition, some lands cleared of rain forest in Central and South America were converted to pasture to produce beef for export to restaurants, stores, and fast-food outlets in developed countries. Thus, lifestyle decisions and dietary patterns in North America and Europe are perpetuating inefficient food webs, not to mention the destruction of valuable resources, both here and overseas.Glossaryphytoplankton: a plant that lives in the sea and produces its own energy source trophic level: category measured in steps away from the energy input in an ecosystem1．According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true about autotrophs?A．They use a chemical process to produce their own food.B．They require plant matter in order to survive.C．They need producers to provide them with carbon.D．They do not interact with other organisms in the food chain.正确答案：A 涉及知识点：阅读2．The word sole in the passage is closest in meaning toA．majorB．steadyC．onlyD．ideal正确答案：C 涉及知识点：阅读3．Based on the information in paragraph 1, which of the following best explains the term “food web”?A．Energy manufactured by producer organisms in the food chainB．Another term that defines the food chainC．An interactive system of food chainsD．Primary and secondary consumers in the food chain正确答案：C 涉及知识点：阅读4．It may be concluded that human beings are omnivores becauseA．people feed on producers for the most partB．people are usually tertiary consumersC．people generally eat both producers and consumersD．most people are the top carnivores in the food chain正确答案：C 涉及知识点：阅读5．The word others in the passage refers toA．debrisB．feedersC．processesD．nutrients正确答案：B 涉及知识点：阅读6．Why does the author mention krill in paragraph 4?A．To suggest a solution for a problem in the food chainB．To provide evidence that contradicts previously stated opinionsC．To present an explanation for the killing of krillD．To give an example of a complex food web正确答案：D 涉及知识点：阅读7．Which of the sentences below best expresses the information in the highlighted statement in the passage?

A When IQ tests were undergoing rapid development early in the twentieth century, many psychologists believed that intelligence was determined primarily by heredity. BP2 Environmentalist view. By the middle of the twentieth century, numerous studies had counteracted the hereditarian view, and most social scientists took the position that environment is as important as or even more important than heredity indetermining intelligence. C Social scientists who stress the environmentalist view of intelligence generally emphasize the need for continual compensatory programs beginning in infancy. Many also criticize the use of IQ tests on the grounds that these tests are culturally biased. DP3 James Flynn, who collected similar data on other countries, found that “massive”gains in the IQ scores of the population in fourteen nations have occurred during the twentieth century. These improvements, according to Flynn’s analysis, largely stemmed not from genetic improvement in the population but from environmental changes that ied to gains in the kinds of skills assessed by IQ tests. Torsten Husen and his colleagues also have concluded, after reviewing large amounts of data, that improvements in economic and social conditions, and particularly in the availability of schooling, can produce substantial gains in average IQ from one generation to the next. In general, educators committed to improving the performance of low-achieving students find these studies encouraging.P4 Hereditarian view. The hereditarian view of intelligence underwent a major revival in the 1970s and 1980s, based particularly on the writings of Arthur Jensen, Richard Herrnstein, and a group of researchers conducting the Minnesota Study of Twins. Summarizing previous research as well as their own studies, these researchers identified heredity as the major factor in determining intelligence—accounting for up to 80 percent of the variation in IQ scores.P5 Jensen published a highly controversial study in the Harvard Educational Review in 1969. Pointing out that African-Americans averaged about 15 points below whites on IQ tests, Jensen attributed this gap to a genetic difference between the two races in learning abilities and patterns. Critics countered Jensen’s arguments by contending that a host of environmental factors that affect IQ, including malnutrition and prenatal care are difficult to measure and impossible to separate from hereditary factors. IQ tests are biased, they said, and do not necessarily even measure intelligence. After his 1969 article, Jensen has continued to cite data that he believed link intelligence primarily to heredity. His critics continue to respond with evidence that environmental factors, and schooling in particular, have a major influence on IQ.P6 Synthesizers’view. Certain social scientists have taken a middle, or “synthesizing,”position in this controversy. The synthesizers’view of intelligence holds that both heredity and environment contribute to differences in measured intelligence. For example, Christopher Jencks, after reviewing a large amount of data, concluded that heredity is responsible for 45 percent of the IQ variance, environment accounts for 35 percent, and interaction between the two (“interaction” meaning that particular abilities thrive or wither in specific environments) accounts for 20 percent. Robert Nichols reviewed all these and other data and concluded that the true value for heredity may be anywhere between 0.40 and 0.80 but that the exact value has little importance for policy. In general, Nichols and other synthesizers maintain that heredity determines the fixed limits of a range; within those limits, the interaction between environment and heredity yields the individual’s intelligence. In this view, even if interactions between heredity and environment limit our ability to specify exactly how much of a child’s intelligence reflects environmental factors, teachers (and parents) should provide each child with a productive environment in which to realize her or hismaximum potential.GlossaryIQ: intelligence quotient; a numerical value for intelligence15．According to paragraph 2, which of the following is true about environmentalists?A．They had only a few studies to prove their viewpoint.B．They did not agree with the use of IQ tests to measure intelligence.C．They did not believe that educational programs could raise IQ scores.D．They were already less popular by the mid twentieth century.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：阅读16．Which of the sentences below best expresses the information in the highlighted statement in the passage?
