IV. 阅读理解（共15题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
When we talk about intelligence we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain
kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way
of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test
intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what
to do.
For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation,
not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can do, and
then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how
it will all work out, but at least he tries. And if he can’t make things work out right,
he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An
intelligent person, even if he is very
young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and a special way
of how he fits into it.
If you look at children, you’ll see great differences between what we call “bright”
children and “notbright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people,
not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright
child really wants to find out about life --- he tries to get in touch with everything
around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world;
he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.
50. In a new situation, an intelligent person ___________.
A. knows more about what might happen to him
B. is sure of the result he will get
C. is ready to face and fit himself in the situation
D. cares more about himself
51. If an intelligent person failed, he would _________.
not feel ashamedB. learn from his experiences
C. try to find all he could do D. make sure what result he would get
52. The difference between bright children and nonbright children lies in _______________.
A. their attitude towards lifeB. the degree of cleverness
C. the amount of knowledge about the world
D. their way of thinking
53. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about _________.
A. how to determine what intelligence is
B. how an unintelligence person should be taught
C. how to solve intelligent problems
D. how to educate children to deal with different situations
