大学生英语竞赛C类阅读理解专项强化真题试卷19
第四部分
Albert Einstein was one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known. He formulated theories of relativity, successfully described the nature of the universe and came up with the most famous equation in the world. David Beckham is the footballer whose skills and precision have made him one of the most gifted sportsmen of his generation. Who is more intelligent?
How Gardner\’s theory of multiple intelligences(MI)dares us to put these two men on neighboring pedestals. Instead of regarding intelligence as a single quantity measurable by pen-and-paper tests, Gardner, an education professor at Harvard University, divides human intelligence into no fewer than eight separate categories ranging from mathematical to musical competence.(74)His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence. Gardner\’s point is that quantity measures only one capacity, the sort of mental agility that is valued in academic achievement, and that this single number does not do justice to human potential. So he has created his own spheres of achievement. Some categories are easily reconcilable with general perceptions about IQ. For example, \\
1.What are the main components of \\
“Linguistic”intelligence and“Logical mathematical”intelligence．
解析：(根据第二段最后一句可知，本段中举例说明的两种情况即是我们一般认为的intelligence。)
2.What kind of abilities does emotional intelligence involve?
The ability to gauge one’s own mood，feelings and mental states，and the ability to gauge it inothers and use the information．
解析：(第四段第一句解释了所涉及的能力。)
3.Which intelligences are represented by Einstein and Beckham respectively?
“Logical mathematical”intelligence and the“bodily-kinesthetic”intelligence．
解析：(由第二段倒数第二句可知，Einstein代表例子中的第二种即“Logical mathematical”intelligence；再根据第三段的最后一句可知，Beckham代表“bodily-kinesthetic”intelligenee。)
4.His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence.
他的观点引发了激烈的讨论，应如何定义智力。
解析：(本句采用拆分法，将about引导的宾语补语成分与主句分离，另在分句中展开说明。provoke激起；引发。)
5.These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that, in these areas, there is a spectrum of human ability ranging from the hopeless to the brilliant.
这八个类别的智力无疑反映了这样的事实，即这些类别中都有从无能到聪慧的各种不同能力的人。
解析：(本句中由that引导同位语结构，可译为“即…”。a spectrum of一系列的，一个范围的。)
No Creatures can stride as human beings. They are not physically designed to support and balance a vertical body balanced on two long lower limbs, propelled forward by a foot engineered exclusively for body support and forward propulsion and to do so with a stride at high-speed locomotion. While other bipeds walk in a similar fashion, human walk is unique. Bipedalism by itself offers no comparison with the distinctive human gait form. And, significantly, no other biped can actually cover more than a tiny fraction of the walking distance that can be sustained by humans.
Striding requires a special design of hip, knee, and ankle joints, plus an arched foot, plus long lower-limb bones. These \\
6.What is the difference between humans and other bipeds regarding walking distance?
No other biped can actually cover more than a tiny fraction of the walking distance that can besustained by humans．
解析：(根据文章第一段内容可知不是所有的两足动物都能像人一样。答案为最后一句。)
7.Why
