Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses. The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16 and study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better health. It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other. And it39。s worth noting that what constitutes intelligence is subjective and can be difficult, if not impossible, to measure. Forget genes though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hardworking and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance. He said sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren39。t found guilty. Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip (時髦的). However, that hasn39。t stopped many celebrities from happily wearing glasses even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one highprofile fan of fashion glasses.（1）What does the new study show?

One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses.”可知，研究表明，智力與身體特征有關，其中一個特征就是視力，在10個更聰明的人中，他們需要眼鏡的幾率更高，也就是說戴眼鏡與高智商有關，故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的“Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other.”可知，僅僅因為某物與其他事物相聯(lián)系并不意味著其中一個事物導致了另一個事物，這是對畫線詞的解釋說明，因此此處是說重要的是要記住這些都是沒有被證實的原因的聯(lián)系，科學家稱之為相關性，由此可知畫線詞詞義為“相關聯(lián)、聯(lián)系”，故選B。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hardworking and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance.”可知，許多研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，戴眼鏡的人被視為更聰明、更勤奮、更誠實，眼鏡使他們看起來更溫和，許多律師利用這個想法來幫助他們贏得官司，可知，一些律師讓他們的當事人在法庭上戴眼鏡是因為戴上眼鏡有助于塑造一個道德的形象，故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though.”可知，不需要眼鏡的人有時戴眼鏡只是為了時尚，他們想顯得酷一些，但并不是每個人都對這個想法印象深刻，可知，對于那些追求時尚而戴眼鏡的人來說，人們的態(tài)度是既有人支持也有人反對，故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 NASA has a new job listing, and it39。s no joke. The US space agency is looking for a joker to join their planned mission to Mars. A mission to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) away from Earth. A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft. And Mars has a munications delay of 20 minutes. This means that astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply, when an emergency happens. When you39。re living with others in a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mars, problems are likely to occur, Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida, told The Guardian. This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together, Johnson said. In stressful situations, perhaps humor is a way to know we aren39。t alone. By laughing together, we share our stress. Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying. There are other examples of team clowns. One example is the journey to the South
