\"Nature and Nurture\"(遗传还是环境)
People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behavior are formed. However, it is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another 1 .
Social scientists are of course 2 interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain 3 and exhibit certain behavior. There are no clear answers yet, but two 4 schools of thought on the matter have developed. 5 one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between 6 of each theory. The controversy(争论) is often referred to as “nature and nurture”.
Those who 7 the “nature\" side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are 8 determined by biological factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is 9 to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory states that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our 10 .
Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, 11 , claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instinctsin determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely 12 by their surroundings. The behaviorists' view of the human being is quite mechanistic(机械论的). They state that, like machines, humans respond to 13 stimuli(刺激) as the basis of their behavior.
Socially and politically, the results of these two theories are 14 . In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” supporters to conclude that blacks are genetically 15 in status than whites are. Behaviorists, 16 , say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental 17 that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same 18 that whites do.
Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. As a matter of fact, it is quite 19 that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes and that the debate will 20 for a long time is certain. 1. A. sensitive 2. A. frequently 3.

Also, in the process, you may aim for 3 goals, like a new personal running record or a better body shape. The achievement of a particular goal makes you feel good and contributes to your 4 . That is why exercise has been shown to 5 your self-respect.
You do not have to train yourself 6 to feel the psychological benefits of exercise. What really matters is 7 , not intensity(强度) of your exercise. You can try walking for 30 minutes five times per week or simply gardening on weekends. 1. A. ill 2. A. play 3. A. clear 4. A. ability 6. A. hard 7. A. time

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了锻炼对情绪的影响。锻炼可以使人们快乐起来。锻炼也能使人增强信心,树立起自尊心。同时也告诉读者如果想要得到锻炼的好处,应该在于经常锻炼而不在于锻炼的强度。
(1)考查形容词。根据下文“find yourself balming work pressures or an unknown future”可知这里人的情感为unhappy, 表示不快乐,不高兴的心理,所以选择unhappy。C合语境。 (2)考查名词。根据下文“like a new personal running record or a better body shape”可知这里是通过锻炼来改善情绪,由此推知本空D项正确。(3)考查形容词。本句中后面的内容有两个1)一个个人跑步记录 2) 更好的体型。也就是进行锻炼要有明确的“clear”目标,另外,下句的particular goal“特定的目标”也在提示这层意思,由此推断A为正确选项。 (4)考查名词。“锻炼强身”这是人人都知道的事实,身体好了,信心就会得到增强。同时,本句中的“a particular goal makes you feel good”也可以印证常识的正确性,所以本题答案为C。
(5)考查固定搭配。build up“建立;增强”;tear down “拆毁”; set aside “把…...放在一
边”;give out “释放”。build up one's self-respect “增强个人的自尊心”,所以答案为B。 (6)考查副词。句意:你不用太拼命的锻炼来感受运动带来的对身体的好处。根据下文中的“intensity of your exercise ”锻炼的强度,可知答案为A。train hard “拼命锻炼”。A合语境。
(7)考查名词。句意:关键是锻炼的频率而不是锻炼的强度。下文中的“30 minutes five times per week ”所表达的是动作发生的频率。time \"时间\";length\" 长度\";form\" 形式\";frequency\" 频率\"。
【点评】本题考点涉及形容词、名词、动词短语以及副词等知识点的考查,综合性强。要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,通过上下爱问的逻辑关系,进一步进行分析推理,选出正确答案。

During my lifetime, I've learnt something important: it's goodto learn new skills outside of your comfort zone. About seven years ago, I startedlearning how to paint as a 1 . I was pretty terrible. Everything looked 2 , and my colors were totally off. My friendsand colleagues suggested that I stop 3 mytime on something I wasn't good at. \" 4 onyour day job,\" they said.
I kept at it — practicing, taking classes, finding the right 5 whocould guide and challenge me. I am now 6 \"good\".Today, the same friends say I was born with this 7 .
The same thing 8 whenI started piano and singing lessons a couple of years ago. Comments shifted from,\"Stop wasting your time and focus on what you know,\" to \"You've gota musical gene.\"
These 9 originatefrom long-held beliefs that growth is usually not possible for adults. Even whenthere is evidence of learning, it can be 10 toinborn talent. Most scientific studies on adulthood focus on cognitive (认知) decline, rather than 11 , suggesting that even scientists may thinkthat development is limited in adulthood.
A few recent studies suggest that 12 newskills, such as photography, for even three months may enhance the functioning ofthe brain in adults.
I would take these studies one step further to argue that a(n) 13 causeof cognitive decline is the fact that adults learn fewer new skills 14 tochildren. If we can 15 howto learn well as adults, then perhaps we can 16 cognitivedecline.
Adults are often 17 togo outside of their comfort zones. We fear looking 18 for making mistakes; we fear failure couldcost us our jobs. Perhaps a reason why we suffer from cognitive decline is thatwe do not engage in learning new skills for many years.
