Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence. But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.
The so-called ‘non-intelligence factors’(非智力因素)include 36 feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males, American psychologists 37 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence 38 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.
39 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to 40 these factors.
Some parents are greatly worried 41 their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition,(營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良)or laziness, but they never take 42 consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these reasons 43 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 44 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 45 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray(迷途)because they are sick of learning. 46 investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 47 of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative(主動(dòng))and consciousness and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning.
It is clear 48 the lack of cultivation(培養(yǎng))of non-intelligence factors has been a main 49 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 50 development among a few students.
If we don’t start now to 51 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the 52 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 53 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.
First, parents and teachers should 54 understand teenage psychology. On this basis, they can help them to pursue(調(diào)動(dòng))the objectives of learning, 55 their interests and toughening their willpower.

36 A人們的非智力因素包括其情感、意志、動(dòng)機(jī)、興趣和習(xí)慣。此處表泛指。
37 B come out出版,發(fā)芽; make out辨認(rèn)出; work out計(jì)算出,制定出; find out 查明,弄清楚情況。心理學(xué)家對(duì)8000名男性進(jìn)行研究,就是為了找出影響智力發(fā)展的原因。
38 C 根據(jù)后面的but non-intelligence可知,此處所表達(dá)的意思為:使人智力不同的原因不在于智力本身,而在于非智力因素。in itself本來,就其本身而言;by itself獨(dú)自,單 獨(dú);on it’s own獨(dú)立地。
39 A 聯(lián)系上下文可知,很多父母和教師不注重培養(yǎng)兒童的非智力因素,盡管他們都知道人應(yīng)該具備這些非智力因素。
40 C 根據(jù)48個(gè)空下面的the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors可知答案。
41 B 孩子成績(jī)不好的時(shí)候,父母必然會(huì)擔(dān)心。
42 C take…into consideration考慮…… 。
43 A 本句為一定語從句,先行詞reason在從句中作狀語,用why。
44 B 句中兩個(gè)分句應(yīng)為遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。
45 D 結(jié)合前文的lose self-confidence; feel defeated及后面的 hopeless可知give…up意為放棄;認(rèn)為……無可救藥。
46 B 對(duì)上海在校生的調(diào)查,在文中第一次提到,并且表示泛指,故用an。
47 A 學(xué)生害怕考試,而學(xué)習(xí)就有考試,因而導(dǎo)致學(xué)生害怕學(xué)習(xí)。be ahead of超過;be aware of知道,意識(shí)到;be ashamed of對(duì)……感到羞恥。
48 A it是形式主語,因?yàn)閺木渲胁蝗背煞,也沒有疑問,故真正的主語為that從句。
49 D 文中提到,影響人的智力因素主要在于非智力因素的養(yǎng)成,而大多數(shù)父母和教師又不注重培養(yǎng)孩子的非智力因素。因此,非智力因素培養(yǎng)缺乏問題,成為孩子智力發(fā)表的一個(gè)障礙。threat恐嚇;difficulty困難;question問題。
50 C 學(xué)生的生理與心理應(yīng)該是均衡發(fā)展。
51 C 上文提到因?yàn)槿狈Ψ侵橇σ蛩氐呐囵B(yǎng)阻礙了青少年智力因素的發(fā)展,因此,我們應(yīng)當(dāng)加強(qiáng)對(duì)青少年非智力因素的培養(yǎng)。
52 A 文中主要闡述了非智力因素對(duì)智力發(fā)展的影響。
53 C 根據(jù)后文的how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factor可知此外應(yīng)是提出建議。
54 A 本題主要考查在特定語境下,使用動(dòng)詞修飾語的能力。fully understand充分理解。
55 D excite意為喚起(興趣);引起(感情等)。
