Water is nature’s most valuable gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash. In nations all over the world, rivers mean life and wealth. They feed and clothe the nations around them.
Water is also a source of energy and power. Man builds huge dams across the rivers to control the water for irrigation and get the energy needed to drive generators. The electrical power is then directed to homes, cities, factories and television stations.
Man uses water each day. In a small way, rivers help to keep man in good health and provide amusements for him. Various forms of water sports keep man strong and healthy.

Are some people born clever，and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius(天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机) from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
51．The writer is in favour of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him .
A．at birth
B．through education
C．both at birth and through education
D．neither at birth nor through education
52．If a child is born with low intelligence, he can .
A．become a genius
B．still become a genius if he should be given special education
C．reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
D．not reach his intelligence in his life
53．In the second paragraph, the underlined sentence means“if we .”
A．pick any two persons
B．take out two different persons
C．choose two persons who are relative
D．choose two persons with different intelligence
54．The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows .
A．the importance of their intelligence
B．the role of environment on intelligence
C．the importance of their positions
D．the part that birth plays
55．The best title of the passage can be______.
A．Surroundings B．Intelligence
C．Dependence on Environment D．Effect of Education

［任务要求］
阅读下面的短文
Today it is found that school students hardly pay much attention to sports. Is it because they aren’t interested in sports? No. They often say they have other more important things to do.
What are these important things? Examinations! They have to spend much time on all kinds of examinations at school. So many of them almost become bookworms(书呆子). Books stop them from going in for sports．Because of the pressure from their parents and teachers, the students have to work harder and spend most of their time on books．As for the students, they want to get good results so that they can further their studies. So it is necessary for them to give all of their free time to their studies and stop their school sports.
In fact, education can’t go without physical exercises, because a quick mind hardly goes along with a weak body．If you don’t have a strong body, you can never achieve anything, let alone a great success in your life.
