问题     Poor people have IQ’s significantly lower than those of rich people. The【S1】______traditional wisdom has been that this is in large part a function of genetics. After all, a series of studies seemed to indicate that IQ is【S2】______inherited.
    If intelligence deeply lied in our genes, that would lead to the depressing conclusion that neither schooling nor anti-poverty programs can accomplish much. Yet while this view of IQ as inherited has been【S3】______held, the evidence is growing that it is, at a【S4】______level, deeply wrong. Richard Nisbett, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, has just opposed this view in a new book, Intelligence and How to Get It, which also offers very good【S5】______for dealing with poverty and inequality in America.
    Good schooling relates particularly closely to higher IQ’s. Professor Nisbett strongly【S6】______intensive early childhood education because of its proven ability to raise IQ and improve long-term【S7】______. Another proven helping way is to tell junior high school students that IQ is expandable, and that their intelligence is something they can help shape. Students【S8】______to that idea work harder and get better grades. That’s particularly true of girls and math, apparently because some girls assume that they are genetically【S9】______at numbers; deprived of a(n)【S10】______for failure, they excel.
[A] substantial [F] advocates [K] acknowledges
[B] accessed [G] excuse [L] exposed
[C] widely [H] advice [M] outputs
[D] disadvantaged [I] clumsy [N] outcomes
[E] awkward [J] largely [O] practical [br] 【S9】

选项

答案 D

解析 空前的are genetically表明,本空应填形容词或过去分词形式的动词,又因动词中符合条件的只有[B]accessed,但该词不与at搭配使用且明显不符合语境,故排除,所以本空应填形容词,[A]substantial,[D]disadvantaged,[I]clumsy入选。三个形容词中,与空后的介词at搭配,且符合此处语义的是[D]disadvantaged。be disadvantaged at意为“在…方面处于不利地位,没有…方面的优势”,这里说的是她们在数字方面没有遗传优势。[I]clumsy“笨拙的”常形容行动笨拙而难看,或是说话和办事缺乏策略、技巧,不符合此处语境,故排除。
