Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16 and 102. The study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better health.It is important to remember that these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other. And it's worth noting that what constitutes intelligence is subjective and can be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.Forget genes though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, more hard­working and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance. He said sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren't found guilty.Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip (时髦的). However, that hasn't stopped many celebrities from happily wearing glasses even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one high­profile fan of fashion glasses.4. What does the study show?A. People wearing glasses are smarter.B. People wearing glasses are healthier.C. Wearing glasses can make people cleverer.D. Wearing glasses is associated with higher IQ.5. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean?A. Shift. B. Link. C. Proof. D. Consequence.6. Why do some lawyers ask their clients to wear glasses in court?A. Because it can create a moral image.B. Because it can mislead the witnesses.C. Because it can highlight clients' qualities.D. Because it can prove the clients' innocence.7. What is the general attitude to those who wear glasses for fashion?A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Mixed. D. Indifferent.【主题语境】人与社会【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现戴眼镜和高智商有关，但现在有些人只是为了追求时尚而戴眼镜。【答案解析】4. D细节理解题。根据第二段中的The study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses.可知，研究表明，智力与身体特征有关，其中一个特征就是视力，在10个更聪明的人中，他们需要眼镜的几率更高，也就是说戴眼镜与高智商有关。5. B词义猜测题。根据第三段中的 these are connections which are not proven causes和Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other.可知，仅仅因为某物与其他事物相联系并不意味着其中一个事物导致了另一个事物，也就是说这些是没有被证实原因的联系，即相关性，故画线词词义为“相关联；联系”。6. A细节理解题。根据第四段中的A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, more hard­working and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance.可知，许多研究发现，戴眼镜的人被视为更聪明、更勤奋和更诚实，眼镜使他们看起来更温和，许多律师利用这个想法来帮助他们赢得官司，也就是说让他们的当事人在法庭上戴眼镜是因为戴眼镜有助于塑造一个道德的形象。7. C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though.可知，不需要眼镜的人有时戴眼镜只是为了时尚，他们想显得酷一些，但并不是每个人都对这个想法印象深刻，故对于那些追求时尚而戴眼镜的人，人们的态度是既有人支持也有人不支持。二、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。(广东茂名市2020届五校联盟高三第一次联考)Out of the 20 little things you've always wondered about, one of them _8_ (probable) has to do with the small _9_ (five) pocket on your jeans. By now, you might have given up _10_ trying to use it since it's too small to fit anything you actually need. But why is it there in the first place? Well, today, it doesn't really serve _11_ purpose, but it used to in the late 1800s. Actually the small pocket is called a watch pocket because it was originally intended as a safe place for _12_ (man) to store their pocket watches. It _13_ (date) back to Levis first ever pair of jeans, _14_ hit the market in 1879.The Levi Strauss blog also pointed out that originally, there _15_ (be) only four pockets on a pair of blue jeans, the watch pocket included. “The first blue jeans had four pocketsonly one in back and, in the front, two plus the small watch pocket，” the blog stated.So next time you find _16_ (you) standing casually with your thumb hooked in that small pocket, know that it originally was used _17_ (store) a pocket watch. 【主题语境】人与社会【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了牛仔裤上的第五个小口袋曾经的用途。【答案解析】8. probably考查副词。修饰谓语用副词。9. fifth考查序数词。本空被定冠词the修饰，表顺序“第五个”，故填序数词。10. on考查介词。give up on doing sth.为固定用法，意为“放弃做某事”。11. a考查冠词。purpose表“目的”，为可数名词，此处表泛指，故填不定冠词a。12. men考查名词复数。man为可数名词，根据代词their可知，此处表复数含义，故用名词复数。13. dates考查动词时态及主谓一致。讲述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语为It，故填dates。14. which考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词是Levis first ever pair of jeans，关系词在从句中作主语，故用关系代词which来引导。15. were考查动词时态及主谓一致。此处是there be句型，空后four pockets为复数，且讲述过去的事，故填were。16. yourself考查代词。find oneself doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“不知不觉做某事”。17. to store考查非谓语动词。be used to do sth.“被用来做某事”，为固定用法，故填to store。三、短文改错(辽宁本溪市高级中学2019届高三11月月考) Ten years before, life was tough for my family. One day, there were two apples for my family of three. Knew that, my mother announced that she was not a apple lover. So she gave it to me and my father. Like most child, I liked apples very much. My mother wore a bright smile when she saw me eating the apple happy. At that time, I just wondered that why my mother was so delighted, even when she didn't eat the apple. As time went by, I gradually realized that giving can bring more happiness or love than receiving. My mother's influence to me is so great that I always want give rather than receive in my life now.【答案解析】第一处：把before改为ago。考查副词。此处表示“十年之前”，应为Ten years ago。第二处：把Knew改为Knowing。考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语动词作状语，主语my mother与know之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用动词­ing形式。第三处：把apple前的a改为an。考查冠词。lover为可数名词，此处表示一个苹果爱好者，又因apple首字母发元音音素，故将a改为an。第四处：把it改为them。考查代词。此处指代上文提到的两个苹果，故应用them。第五处：把child改为children。考查名词复数。此处意为“像大多数孩子一样”，表复数概念，故将child改为children。第六处：把happy改为happily。考查词形转换。句意：当妈妈看见我高兴地吃苹果时，她笑容满面。此处修饰非谓语动词eating，用副词。第七处：删除wondered后的that。考查宾语从句。此宾语从句作wondered的宾语，表原因，应由why引导，故that多余。第八处：or改为and。考查连词。句意：随着时间的流逝，我逐渐意识到给予比得到能带来更多的快乐与爱。此处happiness和love之间为并列关系，而非选择关系，故将or改为and。第九处：把influence后的to改为on/upon。考查介词。influence on/upon.为固定搭配，意为“对的影响”。第十处：在want后加to。考查非谓语动词。want to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“想要做某事”。
