10、ributionswere made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color orbelief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.( 据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才女性或不同肤色或信仰的人做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝)”可推知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进入“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选 A。(2).【答案】D

11、【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act onthat belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children whoare “really, really smart.”(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右， 她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己在六岁左右就不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选 D。(3).【答案】A【解析】细节理解

13、fromthose with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are ableto change the world.”(正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。”)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知 B 项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选 B。2、 When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at H
