【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 to be wise is basically learning what is not possible；and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature；how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate observation of human nature,”成為智者，要大體上知道什么是不可能的。學(xué)習(xí)有可能但又如此困難的東西，以至于不值得一個(gè)人為了達(dá)到目的而付出所有的努力。最重要的是學(xué)習(xí)人性，了解真實(shí)的人是如何行為和反應(yīng)的，以及人們希望他們?nèi)绾涡袨楹头磻?yīng)的。人們可以讀到和聽到很多關(guān)于如何使世界變得更美好的理想主義的東西.......由此可推斷出聰明的人必須運(yùn)用智慧來決定最好要做什么事。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 If you wear glasses, chances are you are smarter. 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(shí)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(guān)，其中一個(gè)特征就是視力，在10個(gè)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(guān)，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?yàn)槟澄锱c其他事物相聯(lián)系并不意味著其中一個(gè)事物導(dǎo)致了另一個(gè)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(shí)的原因的聯(lián)系，科學(xué)家稱之為相關(guān)性，由此可知畫線詞詞義為“相關(guān)聯(lián)、聯(lián)系”，故選B。 （3）考查細(xì)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(shí)，眼鏡使他們看起來更溫和，許多律師利用這個(gè)想法來幫助他們贏得官司，可知，一些律師讓他們的當(dāng)事人在法庭上戴眼鏡是因?yàn)榇魃涎坨R有助于塑造一個(gè)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(shí)戴眼鏡只是為了時(shí)尚，他們想顯得酷一些，但并不是每個(gè)人都對這個(gè)想法印象深刻，可知，對于那些追求時(shí)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(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Like many other people who speak more than one language, I often have the sense that I39。m a slightly different person in each of my languages173。more confident in English, more relaxed in French, more emotional in Czech. Is it possible that, along with these differences, my moral pass (指南針) also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I39。m using at the time? Psychologists who study moral judgments have bee very interested in this question. The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境), they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.
