This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let’s state clearly: E instein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius.But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin.Perhaps this is not a surprise.It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club — women, or people of a different color or belief — they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender（性别）are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discour aged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Here’s the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors（因素）like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance ofgenius.As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with "intelligence, creativity, perseverance（毅力）, and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”12.What does the auth or think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club?A.They’re unfair.B.They’re conservative.C.They’re objective.D.They’re strict.13.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?A.They think themselves smart.B.They look up to great thinkers.C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.14.Why are more geniuses known to the public?A.Improved global communication.B.Less discrimination against women.C.Acceptance of victors’ concepts.D.Changes in people’s social positions.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Geniuses Think AlikeB.Genius Takes Many FormsC.Genius and IntelligenceD.Genius and Luck三、2022年全国甲卷语法填空A visually-challenged man from Beijing recently hiked (徒步) 40 days to Xi’an, as a first step 61 (journey) the Belt and Road route (路线) by foot.On the 1,100-kilometer journey,

I wish I had 14 doing that the first time Mom told me about one of her 15 who had died, but I'm sure I didn't. I can't imagine what it's like to spend all day taking care of other people's 16 children, some of whom are not going to 17 it, and then come home to find that your own kids are acting like that. We were just like 18 brats (顽童) then. I suppose she could have found our guilty weak spots to make us 19 , but she never did. I think I'd better 20 her for that.1.

After about ten minutes of unsuccessful trying, he came back in.I asked, “How did it 14 ?” “Fine,” he said, not wanting to admit (承认) the failure. “I got itto fly some.” 15 , I heard him say secretly, “I guess I’ll have to wait for the 16 .”At that moment I heard another voice speak to my 17 . “Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way 18 waiting for the wind.”And the voice was 19 . We usually want to use our own efforts to 20 what we want to do.

Soon we 6 the place where we were supposed to go swimming. To my 7 , this was more than 40 km from land. I was quite 8 by this time, and wondered why we cameall the way out there, when 9 someone shouted “Dolphins!”All I could 10 were fins (鱼鳍) everywhere — there were about one hundred dolphins, all 11 towards our boat! Many of them were jumping around in the water 12 they were asking us to come and play. I 13 my snorkel (潜水通气管) and jumped into the sea. Then I tried to make 14 in the water to attract them. What made me 15 was that they heard me and came to swim around me. Amazingly, a dolphin kept following me, but then changed his16 and swam in another direction. It really made me realize how 17 these animals are.About an hour later, it was time for us to get back onto the 18 . I really enjoyed myself,but I was a little cold and 19 to leave the water.

Firefighters arrived at the scene shortly after the fire began and quickly 7 the fire, which CBS News reports was so 8 that people driving by were able to feel its heat inside their cars.Parents of the children on the bus were 9 the fire, but thanks to Stroble，the news they received was all 10 not a single child had been hurt.Since then， Stroble， who has been a bus driver for seven years 11 also works as a teacher's assistant(助教)，has been 12 for her brave actions.

He needed a towel to dry his palms. The sun was as hot as the 1 he faced today at the National Junior Olympics. The bar (横竿) was set at 17 feet. That was threeinches higher than his personal best. Michael Stone faced the most 2 day of his pole-vaulting (撑竿跳高) career.You couldn’t tell whether Michael Stone was surprised, excited or vain about clearing thebar at 17 feet. As soon as he 3 on the inflated (充了气的) landing mat, Michael immediately began 4 for his next attempt at flight. He seemed 5 the fact that he had just beaten his personal best 6 three inches and that he was one of the first two competitors in the pole-vaulting 7 at the National Junior Olympics.When Michael 8 the bar at 17 feet 2 inches and 17 feet 4 inches, again he showed no9 . At the same time, he 10 the people sigh(叹气), he knew the other vaulter had missed his final jump. He knew it was time for his 11 jump. Since the other vaulter had fewer misses, Michael needed to clear this vault to win. A 12 would get him second place. It was nothing to be ashamed of, 13 Michael would not 14 himself to have the thought of not winning first place.He rolled over and found his pole, stood and stepped on the runway that 15 the most challenging event of his 17-year-old life.As he sprinted (冲刺) down the runway, something felt wonderfully different, yet familiar. When he took a deep breath, it happened. He began to 16 like an eagle.He later went on that day to clear 17 feet 6 inches: a new National and International Junior Olympics record.With all the media attention and sponsorship possibilities, Michael’s life would never be 17 again. It wasn’t just because he won the National Junior Olympics and 18 a new world record. And it wasn’t because he had just increased his personal best by 9 i nches. It was simply because Michael Stone is blind.A challenge can sometimes make a 19 to the life, and bring 20 the best in us.1．A．weather B．issue C．audience D．competition2．A．tiring B．inspiring C．challenging D．interesting3．A．ran B．landed C．walked D．climbed4．A．caring B．looking C．accounting D．preparing5．A．afraid of B．unaware of C．ashamed of D．terrified of6．A．by B．to C．from D．at7．A．accident B．event C．project D．ceremony8．A．shot B．threw C．cleared D．cleaned9．A．emotion B．affection C．consideration D．determination10．A．saw B．heard C．observed D．smelt11．A．second B．other C．first D．final12．A．jump B．clearing C．miss D．flight13．A．but B．so C．while D．and14．A．award B．make C．allow D．find15．A．stuck to B．devoted to C．led to D．referred to16．A．fly B．run C．jog D．rush17．A．different B．happy C．in chaos D．the same18．A．set B．held C．kept D．played19．A．use B．effort C．progress D．difference20．A．in B．out C．down D．forward【答案】1． D2． C3． B4． D5． B6． A7． B8． C9． A10． B11． D12． C13． A14． C15． C16． A17． D18． A19． D20． B10．When I was a teenager I was in a group of students who took a trip to Pittsburgh. Being a country boy, I found it 1 just being in such a big city. While most of the students headed for the mall then I decided to tour the streets 2 .It was almost Christmastime and the store windows were filled with 3 displays. I bought several cinnamon sticks(肉桂棒) to ward off (挡住) the 4 while walking and looking at the sights.At some point, 5 ,the stores became less and less and the bars became more and more. I realized I had crossed into a not so 6 section of town. I saw a small bus stop and decided to sit and take a rest before walking back. The bus stop was just in front of a 7 store and before long an old woman in an old coat came out. She was carrying two large 8 in one hand. Her other hand held a cane that steadied her slow, 9 walk. Her young, dark-haired granddaughter clutched her coat as they 10 their way to the bench.I 11 at them both and we talked a bitabout how cold it was before the bus 12 .When it arrived I picked up the old lady’s bags and carried them up the steps. Then I helped her granddaughter up while the lady slowly climbed on behind us I pulled out my 13 cinnamon stick and gave it to the sweet girl while her grandma smiled her 14 to me. I got off the bus and looked up to the window where the little, curly-haired Child of God was waving goodbye to me. Then I started back to meet the other students a little 15 at heart if not in body. As I was 16 the corner, though, a voice called out from an alley. “Hey man! Want to get 17 ?” I smiled and said. “No thanks.

The accusation (指控) was that two females were 1 some items at the self-checkout but bypassing other items and 2 those items. The two females and two children were already 3 by the security guard over there.Lima had two girls himself, similar in age to the two girls there, so it 4 him a little bit. Lima checked the 5 for the items they had paid for. There was nothing else like health and beauty items on it. The items were all 6 —things bought just to stuff themselves. Then he asked an employee where the other items were that they had 7 to take and was informed they were put back on the shelves.Obviously, this family was in real need. While Lima firmly 8 following the law, he decided to cut them a break and not to 9 them.The two-females, consequently, were very grateful but kind of 10 because generally, in that same situation there would probably be a different outcome and they’d be 11 .Lima took things a step further in an effort to aid the family. He gave them $200 gift card, telling them not to get things in 12 ways any more.“I purchased the gift card close to the 13 of what would have been taken,” said Lima, “I did what I felt was 14 .

One weekend, he 2 tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant—enough to feed his family for the summer.He ended up with so much 3 that he couldn’t give it away. Thus he founded a local food 4 , and by the time he delivered his last 5 , he had 6 120 pounds of fresh vegetables.The following year, with a handful of 7 from his church and a memorable name “America’s Grow-a-Row”, Paillex planted, 8 ,and harvested 2,500 pounds of vegetables, all of which he donated to food banks.
