2021年高考真题题源选读（全国甲卷 完形填空）It's the seaside birds that deserve2021年全国甲卷(适用地区：广西、四川、云南、贵州、西藏)完形填空真题Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club - women, or people of a different color or belief - they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender（性别）are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors（因素） like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance（毅力）, and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."12.

It's Time We Recognized Them All.BYSUSAN GOLDBERG EDITOR IN CHIEFFor centuries, white males of European descent cornered the market on the title 'genius.' Today, we see flashes of it everywhere.This story appears in the May 2017 issue of National Geographic magazine.Who is a genius? This question has fascinated humankind for centuriesand it bedeviled us in putting together the cover story of this months issue.Lets stipulate: Einstein was a genius. His face (his hair!) is virtually the international symbol for genius, so revered is he as an intellectual titan. But for our story we wanted to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?Thats where the trouble begins. When editors here first gathered portraits to create a gallery of geniuses past (because its hard to tell who among the living truly is a genius), the uniformity was obviousand unsettling. In the sciences and arts, statecraft and literature, philosophy and industry, those hailed as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin.Perhaps this is not a surprise. Its said that history is written by the victors, and those victorsthe ruling class, the dominant cultureset the standards for admission to the exclusive genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the clubwomen, or people of a different color or creedthey were unacknowledged, rejected, even misappropriated and claimed by others.The stereotypes endure. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.”Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged or intimidated and give up? It doesnt take agenius to know the answer: absolutely not.Heres the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, were all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors like gender, race, and class neither ensure genius nor preclude it.
