Question

What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I    21   an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against   22   of 100, scored 160．No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.

  All my life I've been registering scores like that,    23   I have the complacent(洋洋自得的) feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who    24      the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents(天分) similar to mine?

  For instance, I once had an auto-repair man, who, on these intelligence tests, could not   25   have scored more than 80,by my estimate. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always fixed it.

  Well，then，suppose my auto—repair man   26   questions for some intelligence tests．By doing every one of them I'd prove myself a   27   ．In a world where I have to work with my    28    ，I'd do poorly．

  Consider my auto—repair man   29    ．He had a habit of telling  30    ．One time he said. “Doc, a deaf and dumb man   31   some nails．Having entered a store，he put two fingers together on the counter and made  32     movements with the other hand．The clerk brought him a hammer．He   33    his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering．The clerk   34   him some nails．He picked out the right size and left．Well，Doc，the    35   man who came in was blind．He wanted scissors．   36   do you suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers．He burst out laughing and said，“Why, you fool，he used his    37    and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, "I've been    38     that on all my customers today." "Did you catch many?" I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew     39     I'd catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you're so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn't be very     40    ." And I have an uneasy feeling that he had something there．

考點：考查夾敘夾議類完型填空

點評：文章用我與汽車修理工人之間的交流告訴我們智商只是相對而言，并不能說明任何問題。而是要看這個智力測試的題目是由誰來制定的，也許由不同的人制定智力測試的題目，結(jié)果就會大相徑庭。文章結(jié)構(gòu)嚴謹，層次分明，考查知識面廣，立足語篇，側(cè)重通過上下文信息考查考生的綜合運用英語的能力，滲透了智力水平和綜合素質(zhì)的要求，建議以后的學(xué)習(xí)中，注重語篇的學(xué)習(xí)，培養(yǎng)自己駕馭語篇的能力，培養(yǎng)自己根據(jù)語篇綜合運用英語的能力。
