家喻户晓的作家韩寒，小时候数学不及格，数学学不好，他就在写作方面发展自己，最终走上了文学创作之路，他写的《三重门》等作品深受中学生的喜爱。韩寒成功之路给我们的启示是
A．学不好的科目就要及时放弃
B．要根据自己的长处、天赋确定自己的努力方向
C．完全可以只根据自己的兴趣爱好来学
D．在学习上要走捷径
答案：B
题目分析：韩寒的成功在于他能够扬长避短。文学是他的强项，数学是他的弱项。正确看待自己的优点和缺点。一个人如果只看到自己的短处和缺点，就会丧失信心、缺乏朝气；如果只看到自己的长处和优点，就会自以为是，孤芳自赏。正确认识自己，努力发现和发挥自己的潜能，这样才能使自己得到充分的发展。因而B符合题意。其他三个选项都与题意不符。
点评：本题结合作家韩寒的实例，引导学生正确认识自己、评价自己，深入理解较为抽象的知识点，有利于巩固教材基础知识，本题难度不大，学生容易做出选择。
| Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage. What is intelligence, anyway When I was in the army, I received a kind of aptitude test that all soldiers took and, against a normal of 100, scored 160. No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me. (It didn’t mean anything. The next day I was still a buck private with KP—kitchen police—as my highest duty. ) All my life I’ve been registering scores like that, so that I have the complacent feeling that I’m highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so, too. Actually, though, don’t such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by the people who make up the intelligence tests—people with intellectual bents similar to mine For instance, I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence teste, could not possibly have scored more than 80, by my estimate. I always took it for granted that I was far more intelligent than he was. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hastened to him with it, watched him anxiously as he explored its vitals, and listened to his pronouncements as though they were divine oracles—and he always fixed my car. Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man devised questions for an intelligence test.Or suppose a carpenter did, or a farmer, or, indeed, almost anyone but an academician. By every one of those thests, I’d prove myself a moron. And I’d be a moron, too. In the world where I could not use my academic training and my verbal talents but had to do something intricate or hard, working with my hands, I would do poorly. My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in and of the fact that a small subsection of that society has managed to foist itself on the rest as an arbiter of such matters. Consider my auto-repair man, again. He had a habit of telling me jokes whenever he saw me. One time he raised his head from under the automobile hood to say: "Doc, a deaf-and-mute guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails. He put two fingers together on the counter and made hammering motions with the other hanD．The clerk brought him a hammer. He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk brought him nails. He picked out the sizes he wanted, and left. Well, doc, the next guy who came in was a blind man. He wanted scissors. How do you suppose he asked for them " In dulgently, I lifted my fight hand and made scissoring motions with my first two fingers. Whereupon my auto-repair man laughed and said, "Why, you dumb jerk, he used his voice and asked for them. " Then he said smugly, "I’ve been trying that on all my customers today. " "Did you catch many " I askeD．"Quite a few," he said, "but I knew for sure I’d catch you. " "Why is that " I askeD．"Because you’re so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn’t be very smart. " And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there. |
