问答题 "Intelligence" at best is an assumptive construct -- the word's meaning has never been clear. 61) {{U}}There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term than there is on how to interpret or classify them. {{/U}}But it is generally agreed that a person who has high intelligence is one who can grasp ideas readily, make distinctions, reason logically, and use verbal and mathematical symbols in solving problems. An intelligence test is a rough measure of a child's capacity for learning, particularly for learning the kinds of things required in school. It does not measure character, social adjustment, physical endurance, manual skills, or artistic abilities. It is not supposed to -- it was not designed for such purposes. 62) {{U}}To criticize it for such failure is roughly comparable to criticising a thermometer for not measuring wind velocity. {{/U}} The other thing we should notice is that the assessment of the intelligence of any subject is essentially a comparative affair. 63) {{U}}Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter we must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a "valid" or "fair" comparison. {{/U}}It is here that some of the difficulties which interest us begin. Any test performed involves at least three factors: the intention to do one's best, the knowledge required for understanding what you must do, and the intellectual ability to do it. 64) {{U}}The first two must be equal for all who are being compared, if any comparison in terms of intelligence is to be made. {{/U}}In school populations in our culture these assumptions can be made fair and reasonable, and the value of intelligence testing has been proved thoroughly. Its value lies, of course, in its providing a satisfactory basis for prediction. Nobody is in the least interested in the marks a little child gets on his test; what we are interested in is whether we can conclude from his mark on the test that the child will do better or worse than other children of his age at tasks which we think require "general intelligence". 65) {{U}}On the whole, such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence, but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the other with whom he is being compared, and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed. {{/U}}

问答题Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.Three reasons why we are unwilling to discuss insurance can be suggested. First of all, insurance is expensive. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}A young father who purchases a fairly small life insurance policy agrees to pay a sum of $200 every year for 40 years—a total of $8000.{{/U}} Many college students pay $800 to $1000 per year for car insurance. In effect, they pay as much for the insurance as they do for the car itself. Health insurance that pays for modern medical miracles often costs American people as much as $2000 every year. Adequate insurance is expensive and it is a major item for most families. Insurance also reminds us that we live in an unsafe world. We are human beings and we must face the possibilities of illness, injury, death, and financial loss. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Our rational minds recognize the many unfortunate events that can occur, but in our hearts we hope that we might be spared.{{/U}} Serious injury or death is not a pleasant subject to discuss or even consider. We are afraid; we would rather talk about football or the weather or what we had for lunch. Finally, insurance is a difficult, complex subject. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}No one understands it completely and only a few insurance professionals really feel comfortable in a discussion of automobile, life, and major medical coverages.{{/U}} We feel inadequate and try to hide our ignorance by avoiding discussions of insurance. Yet these three reasons for not discussing insurance provide three excellent reasons why we should learn more about it. Insurance is expensive. In a lifetime, many of us spend as much on insurance as we do on the purchase of a house. If we want to spend our money intelligently, we need information about the products and services available. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}We don't depend entirely on salespeople when we buy a car, a house, or a suit of clothes; neither should we depend entirely on the agent when we buy insurance.{{/U}} We need a basic knowledge of insurance coverages if we are to be intelligent consumers. The intelligent consumer looks problems in the face. Although accident, illness, and death are not pleasant subjects, each of us knows we face these possibilities. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}It is better that we plan for these situations by finding means to deal with them than to just hope that they will somehow go away.{{/U}}

问答题Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements-themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modem means of transport.

问答题 Exactly where we will stand in the long war against disease by the year 2050 is impossible to say. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}But if developments in research maintain their current pace, it seems likely that a combination of improved attention to dietary and environmental factors, along with advances in gene therapy and protein targeted drugs, will have virtually eliminated most major classes of disease.{{/U}} From an economic standpoint, the best news may be that these accomplishments could be accompanied by a drop in health-care costs. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Costs may even fall as diseases are brought under control using pinpointed, short term therapies now being developed.{{/U}} By 2050 there will be fewer hospitals, and surgical procedures will be largely restricted to the treat ment of accidents and other forms of trauma(外伤). Spending on nonacute(慢性病的) care, both in nursing facilities and in homes, will also fall sharply as more elderly people lead healthy lives until close to death. One result of medicine's success in controlling disease will be a dramatic increase in life expectancy. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The extent of that increase is a highly speculative matter, but it is worth noting that medical science has already helped to make the very old (currently defined as those over 85 years of age) the fastest growing segment of the population{{/U}}. Between 1960 and 1995, the U.S. population as a whole increased by about 45%, while the segment over 85 years of age grew by almost 300%. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}There has been a similar explosion in the population of centenarians, with the result that survival to the age of 100 is no longer the newsworthy feat that it was only a few decades ago.{{/U}} U.S. Census Bureau projections already forecast dramatic increase in the number of centenarians in the next 50 years: 4 million in 2050, compared with 37,000 in 1990. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Although Census Bureau calculations project an increase in average life span of only eight years by the year 2050, some experts believe that the human life span should not begin to encounter any theoretical natural limits before 120 years.{{/U}}With continuing advances in molecular medicine and a growing understanding of the aging process, that limit could rise to 130 years or more.
