Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence. But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.
The so-called ‘non-intelligence factors’(非智力因素)include 36 feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males, American psychologists 37 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence 38 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.
39 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to 40 these factors.
Some parents are greatly worried 41 their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition,(营养不良)or laziness, but they never take 42 consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these reasons 43 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 44 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 45 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray(迷途)because they are sick of learning. 46 investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 47 of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative(主动)and consciousness and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning.
It is clear 48 the lack of cultivation(培养)of non-intelligence factors has been a main 49 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 50 development among a few students.
If we don’t start now to 51 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the 52 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 53 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.
First, parents and teachers should 54 understand teenage psychology. On this basis, they can help them to pursue(调动)the objectives of learning, 55 their interests and toughening their willpower.

37 B come out出版,发芽; make out辨认出; work out计算出,制定出; find out 查明,弄清楚情况。心理学家对8000名男性进行研究,就是为了找出影响智力发展的原因。
38 C 根据后面的but non-intelligence可知,此处所表达的意思为:使人智力不同的原因不在于智力本身,而在于非智力因素。in itself本来,就其本身而言;by itself独自,单 独;on it’s own独立地。
39 A 联系上下文可知,很多父母和教师不注重培养儿童的非智力因素,尽管他们都知道人应该具备这些非智力因素。
40 C 根据48个空下面的the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors可知答案。

48 A it是形式主语,因为从句中不缺成份,也没有疑问,故真正的主语为that从句。
49 D 文中提到,影响人的智力因素主要在于非智力因素的养成,而大多数父母和教师又不注重培养孩子的非智力因素。因此,非智力因素培养缺乏问题,成为孩子智力发表的一个障碍。threat恐吓;difficulty困难;question问题。
50 C 学生的生理与心理应该是均衡发展。
51 C 上文提到因为缺乏非智力因素的培养阻碍了青少年智力因素的发展,因此,我们应当加强对青少年非智力因素的培养。
