B (2019·廣州市綜合測試)
In 1874,F(xiàn)rancis Galtn,a British prfessr,analysed t sample f English scientists and fund the vast majrity t be firstbrn sns.This led him t theries that firstbrn children enjyed a special level f attentin frm their parents that allwed them t advance intellectually.Half a century later Alfred Adler,an Austrian psychlgist,made a similar argument relating t persnality.Firstbrn children,he suggested,were mre diligent,while the later-brn were mre utging and emtinally stable.Many subsequent studies have explred these ideas,but their findings have been varied—sme supprting and sme rejecting the riginal cnclusins.
The main prblem with the previus studies is that they were t small—ften limited t a few dzen individuals.This wuld be true even if the statistical methds needed t analyse the data were simple,but they are nt. Distinguishing birth rder effects frm thse caused by family size matters,meaning still bigger samples must be analysed t btain meaningful results.
T vercme the limitatin f these earlier studies,German scial scientist Dr Helmet Schmukle and his clleagues analysed three huge sets f date frm America,Britain and Germany.These data sets,thugh cllected fr ther purpses,included persnality and intelligence tests n 20,186 peple at different stages f their lives.The American tests were n individuals aged between 29 and 35. The British tests were cnducted n 50-year-lds. The German tests ran the whle span f adult life,frm 18 t 98.
Birth rder,they fund,had n effect n persnality:firstbrn children were n mre,nr less,likely than their yunger siblings t be hard-wrking,utging r anxius.But it did affect intelligence.In a family with tw children,the first child was mre intelligent than the secnd 60% f the time,rather than the 50% that wuld be expected by chance.On average,this translated t a difference f 1.5 IQ pints between first and secnd siblings.That figure agrees with previus studies,and thus lks cnfirmed.
It is,nevertheless,quite a small difference—and whether it is enugh t accunt fr Galtn's riginal bservatin is unclear.In any event,it is certainly nt deterministic.Galtn was the yungest f nine.

B [考查寫作意圖。根據(jù)第一段前兩句可知,Galtn教授的結(jié)論是,由于得到父母特殊的關(guān)注,第一個(gè)出生的孩子智商較高;根據(jù)尾段可知,這種結(jié)論是否能充分解釋Galtn最初的觀察結(jié)果是不確定的,Galtn是家中最小的孩子,而他是一名教授。據(jù)此可推知,尾段提出Galtn的家庭背景旨在說明Galtn的理論可能是錯(cuò)誤的,故B項(xiàng)正確。]

There is mre f a cnnectin between fd and culture than yu may think.On an individual level,we grw up eating the fd f ur culture.It becmes a part f wh we are.Many assciate fd frm ur childhd with warm feelings and gd memries and it ties us t ur families,hlding a special and persnal value fr us.Fd frm ur family ften becmes the cmfrt fd we seek as adults in times f frustratin and stress.
On a large scale,traditinal fd is an imprtant part f culture.It als perates as an expressin f culture identity.Immigrants bring it wherever they g,and it is a symbl f pride fr their culture and means f cping with hmesickness.
Many immigrants pen their wn restaurants and serve traditinal dishes.Hwever,the fd des nt remain exactly the same. Sme materials needed t make traditinal dishes may nt be readily available,s the taste and flavr can be different frm what they wuld prepare in their hme cuntries. Additinally,immigrants d nt nly sell dishes t peple frm the same cuntries as them,but t peple frm different cuntries.Therefre,they have t make small changes abut the riginal dishes t cater t a wider range f custmers.Thse changes can create new flavrs that still keep the cultural significance f the dishes.
We shuld embrace ur heritage(傳統(tǒng)) thrugh ur culture's fd but als becme mre infrmed abut ther cultures by trying their fd.It is imprtant t remember that each dish has a special place in the culture t which it belngs,and is special t thse wh prepare it.Fd is a windw int culture,and it shuld be treated as such.
