Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehenstion Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are five tasks for you to fulfil. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 Since they were first invented in 1908, IQ (Intelligence Quotient)tests have been telling people how smart they are. Designed to assess problem-solving skills, the tests are used by schools, governments and companies around the world to measure intellectual potential(智能潜力) The average score on an IQ test is 100 and, on most tests, a score between 85 and 115 indicates average intelligence. A score above 130 shows exceptional intelligence ,while a score under 70 may indicate mental retardation (智力低下) There's no denying that many people who are generally considered to be geniuses also have high IQs, Albert Einstein had an IQ of 160. Mensa, a "genius club" founded in 1948, is open to anyone whose IQ is in the top 2% of the general population. But does having a high IQ really mean you're that much smarter than everybody else? It depends on what you mean by smart. Because the tests can't say much about how creative you are or how much general knowledge you have, some feel that IQ tests shouldn't be used to measure intelligence. Einstein himself was a little dismissive (轻蔑的) of his own high IQ. "It's not that I'm so smart," he once said. "It's just that I stay with problems longer."
1. IQ test has been used to ______.
A.show how to solve problems
B.show how clever a person is
C.tell people they are smart
D.tell schools how smart they are

Task 2 Speech-the act of uttering sounds to convey(传达) meaning--is a kind of human action. Like any other constantly repeated action, speaking has to be learned, but once it is learned, it becomes a generally unconscious and apparently automatic process. As far as we can determine, human beings don't need to be forced to speak. Most babies seem to possess a sort of instinctive drive to produce speech like noises. How to speak and what to say are another matter altogether. These actions are learned from the particular society into which the baby was born; so that, like all conduct that is learned from a society--from the people around us--speech is a patterned activity. The sounds that a child can make are more varied and numerous than the sounds that any particular language utilizes. However, a child born into a society with a pattern of language is encouraged to make a small selection of sounds and to make these few sounds over and over again until it is natural for him to make these sounds and no others.
1. Speech is_______.
A.an action that is governed by instinct
B.an action has to be learned
C.an action that can't become automatic
D.an action that is seldom repeated
A B C D
B

C.They are far fewer than those needed to form a language.
D.They are completely different from the sounds of a language.
