2007-1Text21-For the past several years,the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade has featured a column called“Ask Marilyn.”People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant,who at age10had tested at a mental level of someone about23years old;that gave her an IQ of228–the highest score ever recorded.IQ tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies,to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce numerical sequences,among other similar tasks.So it is a bit confusing when vos Savant fields such queries from the average Joe(whose IQ is100)as, What’s the difference between love and fondness?Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence?It’s not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.2-Clearly,intelligence encompasses more than a score on a test.Just what does it mean to be smart?How much of intelligence can be specified,and how much can we learn about it from neurology,genetics, computer science and other fields?3-The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score,even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be.The test comes primarily in two forms:the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales(both come in adult and children’s version).Generally costing several hundred dollars,they are usually given only by psychologists,although variations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web.Superhigh scores like vos Savant’s are no longer possible,because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers,rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by100.Other standardized tests,such as the Scholastic Assessment Test(SAT)and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE),capture the main aspects of IQ tests.4-Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life,argues Robert J.Sternberg.In his article“How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?”,Sternberg notes that traditional test best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge,components also critical to problem solving and life success.Moreover,IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change.Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions,but under high-stress conditions,IQ was negatively correlated with leadership–that is,it predicted the opposite.Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters,whether it’s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.。

2007年英语一真题翻译

2007年全国硕士研究生入学考试英语试题文章翻译Section I Use of English到1830 年,前西班牙和葡萄牙的殖民地变成了独立的国家。

大约2000万居民满怀信心地展望未来。

出生于旧的社会政体和伊比利亚殖民主义的危机之中，许多独立的国家领导人共享的信念包括成立民选政府、人尽其材、商业和贸易自由、拥有私有财产的权利，并且相信个人是社会的基础。

人们普遍认为新的国家应该是主权国家以及独立的国家，国家足够强大有经济实力能存活下去并且有一套共同的法律所控制。

然而，在宗教自由和教会地位的问题上，领导人之间的观点就不那么一致了。

罗马天主教一直是国教，并且是西班牙国王允许的唯一宗教。

大部分领导人要求维持天主教作为新国家的正式宗教，而另一些人却要设法结束其他信仰被排斥的局面。

保护教会成了保守势力的战斗口号。

早期的独立领导人的理想通常是平等主义，把一切事物看作是平等的。

玻利瓦尔曾接受过海地的援助并且作为回报承诺在他解放的地区废除农奴制。

到1854 年，除了西班牙残存的殖民地以外，农奴制已经被废除。

先前做出的结束印第安人进贡和停止向混合血统人征税的承诺变得越来越难以实施，因为这些国家仍然需要这些政策产生的财政收入。

因为害怕大多数人民还没准备好自治和民主，这些平等主义观点经常被缓和了。

2007text2英语一-回复The Impact of Social Media on Society[In recent years, the rise of social media platforms has revolutionized the way we communicate and interact with one another. This article aims to explore the profound impact of social media on various aspects of society.]IntroductionSocial media has become an integral part of our lives, transforming the way we connect, share information, and access news. As platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube continue to dominate our digital landscape, it is crucial to examine the far-reaching effects they have on society: from interpersonal relationships to politics, from business to mental health.Enhanced ConnectivityOne of the most apparent benefits of social media is its ability to connect individuals across different time zones, countries, and continents. The accessibility to instant messaging, video calls, andgroup chats has made it easier than ever to stay in touch with family and friends, regardless of their physical location. In addition, social media has also facilitated the formation of online communities, allowing like-minded individuals to connect and support one another, irrespective of geographical limitations.Information DistributionSocial media platforms have transformed the way we consume and distribute news and information. Traditional media outlets are no longer the sole gatekeepers of knowledge. With a simple click or tap, users can access breaking news, diverse perspectives, and real-time updates from around the world. This democratization of information has given rise to citizen journalism, allowing ordinary individuals to report and share news in real-time, often challenging the narratives presented by mainstream media.Business and MarketingSocial media has become an indispensable tool for businesses and marketers. Companies can now reach a vast and diverse audience through targeted advertising, influencer collaborations, andengaging content. This has not only leveled the playing field for small businesses but has also allowed for more personalized and tailored marketing strategies. Social media platforms have also facilitated direct communication between businesses and customers, enabling quick feedback and resolution of issues.Politics and ActivismThe influence of social media in the realm of politics and activism cannot be overstated. Platforms like Twitter have become the virtual town halls of the 21st century. Politicians, activists, and citizens alike use social media to share their thoughts, mobilize support, and raise awareness about various issues. Social media has played a key role in facilitating political conversations, organizing protests, and amplifying marginalized voices, creating a new space for social and political discourse.Mental Health and Well-beingWhile social media offers numerous benefits, it also poses several challenges, particularly in terms of mental health and well-being. The constant exposure to carefully curated and filtered content canlead to feelings of inadequacy and comparison. The pressure to project a perfect image online, coupled with cyberbullying and online harassment, can have detrimental effects on one'sself-esteem and mental health. It is crucial to be mindful of the impact social media can have on our well-being and find a healthy balance between digital and real-life interactions.ConclusionIn conclusion, social media has had a profound impact on society, revolutionizing the way we connect, share information, and engage politically. Its transformative power is evident in enhanced connectivity, information distribution, business and marketing strategies, as well as political activism. However, we must also recognize the potential negative effects on mental health and well-being. Therefore, it is crucial to embrace the benefits while navigating the challenges, ensuring a healthy and responsible use of social media in our daily lives.。

2007text2英语一逐词

2007text2英语一逐词It was a crisp autumn morning when the first leaves began to fall. The sun was just peeking over the horizon, casting a warm glow on the dew-kissed grass.In the distance, the laughter of children echoed through the air, as they chased each other around the playground,their faces beaming with joy. The sound was a melody of innocence, a reminder of the world's purest form of happiness.Books lay scattered on a nearby bench, their pages gently turning in the soft breeze. The scent of fresh ink and paper mingled with the earthy aroma of the fallen leaves, creatingan atmosphere of tranquility and learning.A solitary figure sat on a park bench, engrossed in a novel. The world around them seemed to fade away as they journeyed through the pages, lost in a world of imagination and adventure.As the day progressed, the park came alive with thehustle and bustle of people going about their daily routines. Yet amidst the chaos, there was a sense of harmony, a rhythm that spoke of life's unending dance.The sun began to set, painting the sky with hues oforange and pink. Shadows stretched long across the ground, a silent testament to the passage of time and the cycle of dayand night.Under the canopy of twilight, the park transformed into a haven of serenity. The laughter of children had subsided, replaced by the gentle rustling of leaves and the soft murmur of the evening wind.As darkness settled, the park became a canvas of stars, each one a beacon of light in the vast expanse of the night sky. It was a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and beauty to be found.。

2007 Text 1①If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006’s World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier②months of the year than in the late months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be ever more pronounced.③uesses: a) certain astrological signsWhat might account for this strange phenomenon? Here are a few gconfer superior soccer skills; b) winter born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, at the annual peak of soccer mania; d) none of the above.Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says he believes strongly in “none of the above.” Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. “With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training, his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,” Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving, and after about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.”④ined, ledThis success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not genetically determ Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. In other words, whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are swamped by how well each person “encodes” the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice entails more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits, including soccer. They gather all the data they can, not just performance statistics and biographical details but also the results of⑤their own laboratory experiments with high achievers. Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or, put another way, expert performers – whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming–are nearly always made, not born.21. The birthday phenomenon found among soccer players is mentioned to[A] stress the importance of professional training.[B] spotlight the soccer superstars at the World Cup.[C] introduce the topic of what makes expert performance.[D] explain why some soccer teams play better than others.22. The word “mania” (Line 4, Paragraph 2) most probably means[A] fun.[B] craze.[C] hysteria.[D] excitement.23. According to Ericsson, good memory[A] depends on meaningful processing of information.[B] results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises.[C] is determined by genetic rather than psychological factors.[D] requires immediate feedback and a high degree of concentration.24. Ericsson and his colleagues believe that[A] talent is a dominating factor for professional success.[B] biographical data provide the key to excellent performance.[C] the role of talent tends to be overlooked.[D] high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture.25. Which of the following proverbs is closest to the message the text tries to convey?[A] “Faith will move mountains.”[B] “One reaps what one sows.”[C] “Practice makes perfect.”[D] “Like father, like son.”【重点词汇】certificate n.证书【巧】certif (y证明) +ic（形容词后缀）+ate（作名词后缀表“物”）＝具证明性质的东西→证书。

2007年考研英语阅读译文

第四篇不雨则已，一雨倾盆。就在老板和董事会最终挑选出其最严重的清算帐目和顺从问题、改善其无效的公司管理之际，一个新问题预示着有为他们——尤其是在美国——赢得那种令人不愉快的头条新闻的危险，这些头条新闻不可避免地给这些领导者带来管理方面的附属品——信息的不安全性。迄今为止，信息保护工作一直被留给临时的、低层次的信息技术人员承担，并且只被看成是信息资源丰富产业所关切的一个问题，比如银行业、电信业以及航空旅行产业，如今，信息保护成为各类商业老板的议事日程中需要优先考虑的问题。今年，好几次消费者和员工信息的重大泄密事件使得管理人员匆忙检查其复杂的信息系统和商业程序，以便寻找可能的弱点——这些泄密事件发生在像时代华纳、美国国防部承包人科学应用国际公司以及加州大学伯克利分校这样的不同机构。“信息正在成为一种需要像保护其他财产一样而保护的财产，”斯坦福大学商学院的海姆?门德尔森说。“保护消费者信息的能力是市场价值的关键因素，这是董事会应该为了股东的利益而承担的责任”。纽约哥伦比亚商学院的埃尼?诺姆暗示，实际上，正如存在公认的会计原则观念一样，现在可能是采取公认的安全措施的时候了。“为安全、备份以及恢复确定适当的投资标准是一个管理问题，不是技术问题，”他说。其神秘在于，对于所有老板来说，这可能是一个意外。当然，对于最怀疑的管理人员来说，显而易见的应该是，诚信（最珍贵的经济财产）被轻易破坏，而要恢复诚信却代价高昂，此外，很少有什么比一个公司听任敏感的个人信息落入不妥当人之手更可能破坏诚信的了。这类事情的现状可能受到缺乏有关信息泄露的法律处罚（在美国，不是在欧洲）的激励，尽管没有证据证明泄露为合法。直到加利福尼亚最近通过了一项法律，美国的公司才不必告知任何人信息何时பைடு நூலகம்露的，甚至包括受害者的信息。这种情况可能迅速改变：如今，许多被提议的信息保护立法正在华盛顿特区讨论。同时，6月17日有关偷窃大约4000万信用卡账户信息这种事件的披露使得一天前美国商务委员会的一个重要决定黯然失色，该决定提请全美国注意，如果公司没有提供适当的信息安全保护措施，那么管理人员就会采取行动。第三篇过去十几年里，美国那些曾经可以依靠辛勤劳动和公平条件维持其收入稳定的中产阶层家庭被经济风险和新现实改变了。如今，一份解雇通知书、一个不利的诊断结果或者一个配偶去世都可能在几个月之内将一个家庭从稳定的中产阶层家庭降格成一个新贫困家庭。就在十几年内，数百万母亲出去工作，改变了根本的家庭经济状况。学者、决策者以及各类批评人士对这些变化的社会意义争论不休，但是，很少有人关注这些变化的副作用——家庭的风险也增加了。如今的家庭根据其新的双收入限度安排开支。因此，它们失去了它们在经济萧条时期曾经有过的缓解举措——一个后备挣钱者（通常是妈妈），如果家庭的主要挣钱者失业了或者病倒了，她可以出去工作。这种“额外工人效应”可以维护失业保险或残疾保险提供的安全网，以便帮助家庭渡过难关。但现在，家庭财产的损失再也不可能通过呆在家里的其他伴侣的额外收入弥补了。在同一时期，家庭被要求在其退休收入中承担更多风险。钢铁厂的工人、航空公司的职员以及汽车产业的员工成为数百万不得不担心利率、股市波动以及可能比其退休收入存在时间更长的严酷现实的家庭。在去年的大多数时间里，布什总统一直致力于将社会保险体制转变成一种储蓄存款账户模式——要求退休人员将其大多数或所有保障报酬用来交换依靠投资回报所得的报酬。对于更年轻的家庭来说，前景并不是更乐观。卫生保健和家庭承担的份额的绝对成本都上涨了——最近实施的健康储蓄计划正在从立法机关扩展到沃尔玛的员工，其可减免税高得多，并且给家庭未来的卫生保健带来许多新投资风险。甚至人口统计状况也对中产阶层家庭不利，因为有一个体弱、年迈的父（母）亲——以及由此而产生的所有物资和经济援助——的可能性就在十几年内增长了8倍。从中产阶层家庭的角度来看，大多数情况是可以理解的，这根本不像一种发挥更多支付能力的机会，而是像一种将经济风险大规模转向那些已经负担过重的家庭的令人恐惧的加速。经济副作用已经开始，政治副作用可能也将开始。第二篇过去几年，《星期日报》的增刊《检阅》开设了一个名叫“询问玛丽琳”的专栏。人们被邀请去询问玛丽琳?沃斯?萨文特——她在10岁时测试的智力水平达到别人23岁时的水平，这使得她的智商高达228（是有记录的最高水平）。智商测试要求你完成口头和视觉分析，要求你在纸张被折叠、剪切后想象它的形状，要求你推论数字的顺序，以及其他类似的项目。所以，当沃斯?萨文特面对普通人（其智商为100）提出的像“热爱与喜爱之间的区别是什么？”或者“运气与巧合的特征是什么？”这样的问题时，她感到有点困惑。设想物体、判断数字模式的能力如何使一个人能够回答难倒了一些最杰出的诗人和哲学家的问题，这一点并不明显。很明显，智力包含的不只是一次测试所得的分数。而聪明意味着什么？可以明确显示多少智力？我们能够从神经学、遗传学、计算机科学以及其他领域了解多少智力？人类有关智力的定义性术语似乎仍然是智商分数，即使人们并不像以前那样经常进行智商测试。智商测试主要表现为两种形式：斯坦福—比奈智力量表和威斯勒智力量表（两种都有成人和儿童测试类型）。由于这些测试一般要花费几百美元，所以通常只有心理学家才进行这些测试，尽管这些测试的变种在书店和环球网上流行。得到像沃斯?萨文特这样的超高分数再也不可能了，因为现在的分数依据的是相同年龄者的统计学群体分布状况，而不是简单地通过实足年龄乘以100来划分智能年龄。其他标准测试，比如学术能力检测以及研究生入学考试，包含了智商测试的主要方面。罗博特?J?斯顿伯格认为，这样的标准测试不可能评估在学校和生活中取得成功所需的所有重要因素。在其名为“智力测试如何明智？”这篇文章中，斯顿伯格指出，传统的测试最恰当地评估了分析能力和语言表达能力，但没有测量创造性和实际知识，这些也是解决问题、在生活中取得成功的关键因素。而且，一旦人口或环境发生变化，智商测试就不一定预测得那么准确。研究发现，如果在低压力状况下进行智商测试，那么这种测试就可以预测领导才能，但是，在高压力状况下，智商测试所得的结果与领导才能的关系是否定的，也就是说，它预测的结果是相反的。任何经历过学术能力检测的人都会认为，应试能力也很重要，无论是知道何时应该进行推测还是知道应该忽略什么问题。第一篇如果你打算检查2006年世界杯锦标赛上所有足球运动员的出生证明，那么你最可能发现一种引人注意的巧合：优秀足球运动员更可能出生于每年的前几个月而不是后几个月。如果你检查进入世界杯和职业比赛的欧洲国家青年队的话，那么你会发现这种奇怪的现象甚至更明显。什么可以解释这种奇怪的现象呢？下面是一些猜测：a）某种占星术征兆使人具备更高的足球技能；b）冬季出生的婴儿往往具有更高的供氧能力，这提高了踢足球的耐力；c）热爱足球的父母更可能在春季（每年足球狂热的鼎盛时期）怀孕；d）以上各项都不是。安德斯?埃里克森是佛罗里达州立大学的一位58岁的心理学教授，他说，他坚信“以上各项都不是”这一点。埃里克森在瑞典长大，他一直在研究核工程，直到他认识到，如果他转向心理学领域，他会有更多机会从事自己的研究。他的首次试验是在大约30年以前进行的，与记忆有关——训练一个人先听一组任意挑选的数字，然后复述这些数字。“在接受大约20个小时的训练后，第一个试验对象（复述）的数字组合从7个上升到20个，”埃里克森回忆说。“该试验对象不断进步，在接受大约200个小时的训练后，他复述的数字已经达到80多个。”这次成功，连同后来证明“记忆本身不是遗传决定的”研究，使得埃里克森得出结论——记忆过程是一种认知练习，不是一种本能练习。换句话说，无论两个人在记忆力方面可能有什么样的天生差异，这些差异都会被每个人如何恰当地“解读”所记的信息所掩盖。埃里克森确信，了解如何有目的地解读信息的最佳方法就是一个为人所知的有意练习过程。有意练习需要的不只是简单地重复一个任务。相反，它涉及到确定明确的目标、获得即时反馈以及注重方法与结果。因此，埃里克森和他的同事开始研究广泛领域的成就优秀者，包括足球。他们收集了能够收集的所有资料，不只是表现方面的统计数据和传记详细资料，还包括他们自己对取得很高成就的人员进行的实验室实验结果。他们的研究得出了一个非常令人惊奇的结论——我们通常称为才能的特征被高估了。或者，换句话说，成就优秀者（无论是在记忆还是手术方面，在芭蕾还是计算机编程方面）几乎总是培养的，不是天生的。

2007年考研英语·英译汉真题及解析

2007年考研英语·英译汉真题及解析真题：Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.（10 points）The study of law has been recognized for centuries as a basic intellectual discipline in European universities. However, only in recent years has it become a feature of undergraduate programs in Canadian universities. （46）Traditionally, legal learning has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers, rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person. Happily, the older and more continental view of legal education is establishing itself in a number of Canadian universities and some have even begun to offer undergraduate degrees in law.If the study of law is beginning to establish itself as part of a general education, its aims and methods should appeal directly to journalism educators. Law is a discipline which encourages responsible judgment. On the one hand, it provides opportunities to analyze such ideas as justice, democracy and freedom. （47）On the other, it links these concepts to everyday realities in a manner which is parallel to the links journalists forge on a daily basis as they cover and comment on the news. For example, notions of evidence and fact, of basic rights and public interest are at work in the process of journalistic judgment and production just as in courts of law. Sharpening judgment by absorbing and reflecting on law is a desirable comp onent of a journalist’s intellectual preparation for his or her career.（48）But the idea that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly than an ordinary citizen rests on an understanding of the established conventions and special responsibilities of the news media. Politics or, more broadly, the functioning of the state, is a major subject for journalists. The better informed they are about the way the state works, the better their reporting will be. （49）In fact, it is difficult to see how journalists who do not have a clear grasp of the basic features of the Canadian Constitution can do a competent job on political stories.Furthermore, the legal system and the events which occur within it are primary subjects for journalists. While the quality of legal journalism varies greatly, there is an undue reliance amongst many journalists on interpretations supplied to them by lawyers. （50）While comment and reaction from lawyers may enhance stories, it is preferable for journalists to rely on their own notions of significance and make their own judgments.

目录Section I Use of English (1)Section II Reading Comprehension 1 (3)Section II Reading Comprehension 2 (6)Section II Reading Comprehension 3 (9)Section II Reading Comprehension 4 (12)Section I Use of Englishparagraph 1到1830年为止，西班牙和葡萄牙的前殖民地都成为了独立的国家。

这些国家的大约2000万居民满怀信心地展望未来。

许多独立斗争的领导人出生于旧政权和伊比利亚殖民主义的危急时刻，他们怀有共同的治国理念：创建代议制政府、职业对人才开放、实行商业和贸易自由和私有财产权，并且相信个体是社会的基础。

当时普遍存在这样的信念：新国家应该是拥有主权的、独立的国家，应该足以在经济上养活国民，并且通过一套共同的法律使国家统一在一起。

paragraph 2然而，在宗教自由和教会地位的问题上，领导阶层之间的意见就不那么一致了。

罗马天主教过去是西班牙国教，并且是西班牙国王允许的唯一宗教。

虽然大多数领导人试图继续将天主教作为新国家的官方宗教，但是一些领导人却试图结束将其他信仰排斥在外的局面。

保护教会成为保守势力的战斗口号。

paragraph 3早期的独立领导人的理想通常是平等主义，重视一切平等。

玻利瓦尔曾从海地获得了援助，作为回报，他承诺在他解放的地区废除奴隶制。

到1854 年，除了西班牙残存的殖民地以外，其他地方的奴隶制都已经被废除。

先前做出的结束印第安人进贡和停止向混血人种征税的承诺实现起来就缓慢得多，因为新国家仍然需要这些政策产生的财政收入。

平等主义思想经常会被一些担忧所冲淡，这些担忧就是普通大众还没有为自治和民主做好准备。

paragraph 1By 1830,the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies had become independent nations.The roughly 20 million inhabitants of these nations looked hopefully to the future.Born in the crisis of the old regime and Iberian Colonialism,many of the leaders of independence shared the ideas of representative government, careers open to talent, freedom of commerce and trade, the right to private property, and a belief in the individual as the basis of society.Generally there was a belief that the new nations should be sovereign and independent states, large enough to be economically viable and integrated by a common set of laws.paragraph 2only one allowed by the Spanish crown. while most leaders sought to maintain Catholicism as the official religion of the new states, some sought to end the exclusion of other faiths.The defense of the Church became a rallying cry for the conservative forces.paragraph 3The ideals of the early leaders of independence were often egalitarian, valuing equality of everything.Bolivar had received aid from Haiti and had promised in return to abolish slavery in the areas he liberated.By 1854 slavery had been abolished everywhere except Spain’s remaining colonies.Early promises to end Indian tribute and taxes on people of mixed origin came much slower because the new nations still needed the revenue such policies produced.Egalitarian sentiments were often tempered by fears that the mass of the population was unprepared for self-rule and democracy.Section II Reading Comprehension 1 paragraph 1如果你查一下2006年世界杯足球锦标赛所有参赛队员的出生证明，你很可能会发现一个值得注意的奇怪现象：出色的足球运动员往往在一年的前几个月出生。

2007年考研英语阅读2长难分析本篇文章围绕实验室的动物权利的问题展开。

作者在文章的首句就点明了全文的论点，即科学家需要站出来为之解释。

接下来作者指出问题的来由并举例论证，最后两段作者提出了科学家应该如何处理这件事情的一些合理做法。

全文从长难度角度而言，难度中等，下面就其中5个典型的长难句做具体分析：【典型例句1】：To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, “all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing.”【例句解析】：引号里面的句子中，主语是all，其后是that引导的定语从句修饰主语; is 是系动词，之后是that引导的表语从句。

【难点点拨】：paraphrase：v. 解释，意译; statesman：政治家;triumph：n. 成功，胜利 a misguided cause：一项被误导的事业【例句释义】：18世纪政治家埃德蒙·伯克曾说，“受错误思想引导的事业要想取得胜利，只需好人袖手旁观”。

【典型例句2】：Leaders of the animal rights movement target bio-medical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research.”【例句解析】：本句中，主语是Leaders, “of the animal rights movements”是of介词短语做后置定语修饰主语;target是谓语动词，宾语是bio-medical research;其后是because引导的由and连接的两个原因状语从句。

原文：For the past several years, the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade has featured a column called “Ask Marilyn.”People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old; that gave her an IQ of 228—the highest score ever recorded.

翻译：在过去几年中，《星期日报》增刊上出现了一个名为“玛丽琳问题”的特色专栏。

人们被邀请向玛丽琳·冯·莎凡提出各种问题。

此人10岁时参加了相当于普通人23岁左右水平的智力测试，测试的智商为228 (智商的最高记录)。

智商测试要求你完成的任务常常是：词汇和图形类比、想象纸折叠和剪切后的形状、推导数字序列，等等。

因此，当莎凡回答(智商为100的)普通人提出的诸如“爱与喜欢有何区别”或“运气和巧合的本质是什么”这类问题时，她感到有些困惑。

想象物体形状和推算数列的能力，不一定能使人具备足够的能力，来回答那些连最优秀的诗人和哲学家都回答不了的问题。

原文：Clearly, intelligence encompasses more than a score on a test. Just what does it mean to be smart? How much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we learn about it from neurology, genetics, computer science and other fields?
翻译：显然，智力的高低并不能仅仅通过测试的分数体现出来。

那么什么叫“聪明”呢？有多少智力可以被明确定义出来？关于智力，从神经学、遗传学、计算机科学和其它领域中，我们又能了解什么呢？
原文：The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be. The test comes primarily in two forms: the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales (both come in adult and children’s version). Generally costing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web. Superhigh scores like vos Savant’s are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers, rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 100. Other standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), capture the main aspects of IQ tests.
翻译：虽然现在智商测试已经不像以前那么频繁地使用，但是智商分数似乎仍然
是定义人类智力的术语。

智商测试主要有两种形式：斯坦福—比奈智力量表和韦氏智力量表(二者都有成人和儿童版本)。

虽然这两种测试形式的改编版本常常可以在书店和互联网上见到，但它们通常只由心理学家提供，费用一般为几百美元。

莎凡那样的超高分数不可能再重现，因为现在分数的计算是以同龄群体分数分布为基础的，而不是简单地用智力年龄除以实足年龄再乘以100。

其它的标准化测试，比如学术评估测验和研究生入学考试，都具有智商测试的主要特点。

原文：Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article “How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?”, Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. Moreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership—that is, it predicted the opposite. Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it’s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.
翻译：罗伯特·J·斯特恩伯格认为，这类标准化测试也许并不能评估对于学业和生活的成功来说必须的所有重要因素。

斯特恩伯格在他的“智力测试有多大可信度？”一文中指出，传统的智商测试能够很好地评估分析能力和语言能力，但不能评估创造能力和实践能力，而这两个因素对于解决问题和在生活中取得成功也至关重要。

此外，一旦测试群体或情景发生改变，智商测试不一定能做出准确的预测。

研究发现，在压力小的环境下进行测试，智商能够正确地反映出领导能力的高低；但是在压力大的情况下，智商与领导能力呈负相关关系——也就是说，根据智商分数预测出的领导能力与实际情况相反。

任何参加过“学术评估测验”的人都可以证明，应试技能也很重要，比如知道何时应该猜测或者什么题目可以略过不答。
