Write your answers on the Answer Sheet with the question number 11 to 20.
IQ stands for “Intelligence Quotient” which is a measure of a person’s intelligence found by means of a test. Before marks ○11 in such atest can be useful as information about a person, they must be compared with some ○12. It is not enough simply to know that a ○13 of thirteen has scored, say, ninety marks in a particular test. To know whether he is clever, ○14, or dull, his marks must be compared with the average achieved by boys of thirteen in that test.
In 1906 the psychologist, Alfred Binet (1857-1911), ○15 the standard in relation to which intelligence has since been ○16. Binet was asked to find a method of selecting all children in the schools of Paris who should be put in special classes for certain weaknesses. The problem brought home to him the need for a ○17 standard of intelligence, and he hit upon the very simple concept of “mental age” .
He invented a variety of tests and put large numbers of children of different ages through them. He then- ○18 about the age each test was passed by the average child. For instance, he found that the average child of seven could count backward from 20 to 1. Binet ○19 the various tests in order of difficulty, and used them as a scale against which he could
0 every individual. If, for example, a boy aged twelve could only do tests that were passed by the average boy of nine, Binet held that he was three years below average, and that he had a mental age of nine.

Gains, and Drawbacks, for Female Professors
A) CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – When the Massachusetts Institute of Technology acknowledged 12 years ago that it had discriminated (歧视) against female professors in “subtle but pervasive” ways, it became a national model for addressing gender inequality. Now, an evaluation of those efforts shows substantial progress – and unintended consequences. Among other concerns, many female professors say that
M.I.T.’s aggressive push to hire more women has created the sense that they are given an unfair advantage. Those who once complained about M.I.T.’s lag in recruiting women now worry about what one called “too much effort to recruit women.”
B) Much as a report accompanying M.I.T.’s acknowledgment more than a decade ago offered a rare window on an institution tackling gender discrimination, the new study, being released Monday, shows how difficult the problem is – and not just at M.I.T. “It’s almost as though the standard has changed, because things are so much better now,” said Hazel L. Sive, associate dean of the School of Science, who led one of the committees writing the report. “Because things are so much better now, we can see an entirely new set of issues.”
C) An array of prizes and professional honors among female professors has provided a powerful rebuttal (反驳) to critics who suggested after the earlier report that women simply lacked the aptitude for science. But with the emphasis on eliminating bias, women now say the assumption when they win important prizes or positions is that they did so because of their gender. Professors say that female undergraduates ask them how to answer male classmates who tell them they got into M.I.T. only because of affirmative (赞助性的) action.
D) Because it has now become all but the rule that every committee must include a woman, and there are still relatively few women on the faculty, female professors say they are losing up to half of their research time, as well as the outside consultancies that earn their male colleagues a lot of money.
E) While women on the tenure (终身职位) track 12 years ago feared that having a child would affect their careers, today’s generous policies have made families the norm: The university provides a year-long pause in the tenure clock, and everyone gets a term-long leave after the arrival of a child. There is day care on campus and subsidies for child care while traveling on business. Yet now women say they are uneasy with the frequent invitations to appear on campus panels to discuss their work-life balance. In interviews for the study, they expressed frustration that parenthood remained a women’s issue,rather than a family one.
F) Despite an effort to educate colleagues about bias in letters of recommendation for tenure, those for men tend to focus on intellect while those for women dwell on temperament. “To women in my generation, these remaining issues can sound small because we see so much progress,” said Nancy H. Hopkins, a molecular biologist who started the first report. “But they’re not small; they still create an unequal playing field for women – not just at universities, and certainly not just at M.I.T. And they’re harder to change because they are a reflection of where women stand in society.”
G) The original effort started in 1994, when Professor Hopkins was frustrated that the university had resisted giving her lab space for new research, and that a course she developed had been given to a male professor. She considered herself a scientist, not a feminist, and only tentatively shared her concerns with another female professor.
H) Finding common complaints, they reached out to other women on the School of Science faculty – and discovered that it was remarkably easy to survey them, because there were only 15 women with tenure, compared with 197 men. Women undergraduates outnumbered men in some departments, but the percentage of women on the faculty had remained relatively flat for 20 years. The school had never had a woman in any position of leadership.
I) The women gathered more data – crawling on the floor with tape measures to compare lab space for men and for women. They took their concerns to the dean...更多详见官网
