The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ consid

7、erably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individualthe sort of environment in which he is reared. If an indiv

8、idual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individuals intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Pe

9、ter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with p

10、oor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, wh

11、en they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Marks I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.3、A persons inte

14、ffer greatly.BThey set up an example for studying the environment.CThey became orphans once they were born.DThey were adopted boys.6、According to the text, the environment in which the twins were reared differs in the following aspects except _.Aintelligence level of the parentsBfamily economic stat

15、usCthe age of their parentsDcommunity surroundingsFrom the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions. It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating, and which are to be avoided; when to attack and when to run away. The animal is, in fact, playing a complicated and potent

16、ially dangerous game with its environment, discomfort or destruction.This is a difficult and unpleasant business and few animals would survive if they had to start from the beginning and learn about the world wholly by trial and error, for there are too many possible decisions which would prove fata

17、l. So we find, in practice, that the game is always arranged in favor of the young animal in one way or another. Either the animal is protected during the early stages of its learning about the world around it, or the knowledge of which way to respond is built into its nervous system from the start.

18、The fact that animals behave sensibly can be attributed partly to what we might call genetic learning, to distinguish it from individual learning that an animal does in the cause of its own life time. Genetic learning is learning by a species as a whole, and it is achieved by selection of those memb

19、ers of each generation that happen to behave in the right way. However, genetic learning depends upon a prediction that the future will more or less exactly resemble the past. The more variable individual experience is likely to be, the less efficient is genetic learning as a means of getting over t

20、he problems of the survival game. It is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning. In the great majority of animals, behavior is a compound of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born withThat is why animals can survive7、The su

21、rvival game is considered complicated and potentially very dangerous because _.Adecisions made by animals may prove fatalBanimals are often in danger of being attackedCanimals make decisions entirely by trialDenvironment is not fit for animals to survive8、Most animals survive because they can make r

22、ight decisions by _.Aa series of trials and errorsBknowledge obtained in their life timeCthe nervous systemDgenetic learning and individual experience9、Concerning the relationship between genetic learning and individual experience, which of the following is right?AThey develop side by side.BThey are

23、 contradictory, but individual experience is the dominant.CGenetic learning is likely to function more if the environments dont vary much.DGenetic learning is more efficient than individual experience.10、“Genetic learning” refers to _.Alearning after an animal is bornBlearning obtained by some membe

24、rs of each generation who happen to behave properlyClearning gained by all the members in a speciesDlearning gained by young animals from their experience11、What cannot be inferred from the article?AThe majority of animals depend thoroughly upon genetic learning.BAnimal behave in particular ways as

25、a result of both individual experience and genetic learning.CIf animal depended wholly upon individual experience, its chance of survival would be little.DGenetic learning depends on the assumption of resemblance between the future and the past.Films provide more than just entertainmentFor many peop
