　　暨南大学2013年考研翻译硕士英语真题

　　英语笔译(专硕)

　　Directions: This part consists of two sections. In Section A, there are three passages followed by a total of 15 multiple-choice questions. In Section B, there is one passage followed by a total of 5 short-answer questions. Read the passages and then mark or write down your answers on the Answer Sheet.

　　Section A

　　Passage 3

　　Granted, the study of racial and sex differences in intelligence has not exactly covered itself in glory. In a heated debate, scientists are calling for an end to research on possible links between race, gender and intelligence.

　　Neuroscientist Steven Rose of Britain’s Open University argues, the problem is that both race and IQ are slippery concepts. Standard measures of intelligence are ridiculously flexible. In the 1930s and 1940s, for instance, when girls kept outscoring boys, IQ tests were repeatedly adjusted to make the results turn out “right”. That calls into question what studies of intelligence actually measure, and whether it is too easy to choose and modify data to produce desired results. Worse, race in the sense of Caucasian, Asian and African is too broad to capture anything biological, including genetic differences.

　　As for sex, there are indeed structural and biochemical differences between male and female brains. But since boys and girls, and men and women, live very different　lives and are treated differently first by parents and then by society, it’s impossible to attribute those differences to native biology rather than experience. That is especially true now that discoveries in neuroplasticity have shown that brains of any age can change their structure and function in response to experience.

　　Defenders of studies of how intelligence varies by race or sex argue, the studies must continue because of the wealth of important knowledge they produce. In the 1960s, for instance, psychologist Arthur Jensen presented evidence that African-Americans are inferior in intellect due to inherited genes. That prompted psychologist James Flynn of the University of Otago, New Zealand, to examine decades of IQ data from dozens of countries, something he never would have done without Jensen’s work to drive him. He discovered what is now called the Flynn effect, which is the increase in IQ scores over the last 70 or so years. The increase reflects generational improvements in abstract problem solving. The Flynn effect “shows that substantial increases in IQ can and have occurred over a short period of time,” says psychologist Wendy Williams of Cornell University. “Genetics cannot explain such changes. Thus we look to environment… As experiences for blacks improve, so can and does IQ.” That has already happened: one quarter of the IQ gap between black and white Americans has been erased in 30 years. Cultural effects are more powerful than we thought, says Williams, a conclusion that would have remained undiscovered if race and IQ were off limits.

　　There has been a parallel increase in understanding sex differences in IQ. The fact that experience shapes the brain, and that girls’ and boys’ experiences are different so their brain differences might be the result of different experiences, seems less like an argument against studying sex and IQ than a fascinating research project: how do sex-specific experiences leave a footprint in the folds of the cortex?

　　11. The opponents of race-IQ studies think that ________.

　　A. the studies lack clear purpose

　　B. the measures of IQ are inconsistent

　　C. the IQ tests cannot define intelligence

　　D. the definition of race is too narrow

　　12. According to paragraph 3, sex differences in IQ are mainly caused by ______.

　　A. innate biology

　　B. life experience

　　C. genetic structure

　　D. social environment

　　13. Some scientists insist on the continuance of the studies because these studies _______.

　　A. help people get valuable knowledge

　　B. help to increase people’s intelligence

　　C. help people solve abstract problems

　　D. help to erase the IQ gap among people

　　14. It can be inferred from the passage that race-sex-IQ studies ______.

　　A. has been advocated by most scientists nowadays

　　B. has altered the concept and categories of race

　　C. has changed people’s view on gender difference

　　D. has stimulated relevant valuable researches

　　15. The author’s attitude towards the studies of the link between sex, race and IQ is__.

　　A. enthusiastic support

　　B. strong disapproval

　　C. reserved consent

　　D. complete indifference
