Question

【題目】 Kian Hamer, 14-year-old, has become one of the youngest members (成員) of Mensa. Mensa is an international organization (國際組織) for IQ (智商). Mensa has about 110,000 members all over the world. Only eight percent of the members are under 16. Kian’s IQ is 162 and it’s two points higher than Albert Einstein’s.

Mensa sent a letter to Kian’s home. The letter wrote, “Kian is one of the cleverest people in the world.” Kian is really excited to join Mensa. He always works hardest on everything he does. Although people call him a genius (天才), he still wants to be a football player when he grows up. He loves playing football very much.

His dad Rich Hamer said, “Kian is clever but I’m not calling him a genius like others. I want him to keep his feet on the ground. He needs to study hard all the time. Never be proud (驕傲). He always does well at school. He works really hard and always tries his best.”

【4】B

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了14歲的Kian Hamer已經(jīng)成為門薩最年輕的成員之一，但是他的父親希望他腳踏實地。他需要一直努力學(xué)習(xí)。永遠不要驕傲。

【1】數(shù)字計算。根據(jù)文中“Mensa has about 110,000 members all over the world. Only eight percent of the members are under 16.” 門薩在全世界有大約11萬會員。只有8%的成員在16歲以下。Kian Hamer就是其中的一個。110,000*0.08=8800，根據(jù)題意，故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解。a scientist一名科學(xué)家；a firefighter一名消防員；a genius 天才； a football player一名足球運動員。根據(jù)文中“he still wants to be a football player when he grows up.”可知，但他長大后仍然想成為一名足球運動員。故選D。

【3】詞句猜測。根據(jù)下文“He needs to study hard all the time. Never be proud (驕傲). He always does well at school. He works really hard and always tries his best.” 他需要一直努力學(xué)習(xí)。永遠不要驕傲。他在學(xué)校總是做得很好。他工作非常努力，總是盡力。可知上文中“keep his feet on the ground”的意思是“腳踏實地”。故選C。

【4】標(biāo)題歸納。A. How to become a member of Mensa如何成為門薩的一個成員。One of the youngest members of Mensa門薩最年輕的成員之一；What the cleverest boy’s IQ is最聰明的男孩智商是多少； A football player一個足球運動員。通讀整篇短文可知，這篇短文主要講述了14歲的Kian Hamer已經(jīng)成為門薩最年輕的成員之一，但是他的父親希望他腳踏實地。他需要一直努力學(xué)習(xí)。永遠不要驕傲。選項B符合題意。故選B。
