问题     Poor people have IQ’s significantly lower than those of rich people. The【S1】______traditional wisdom has been that this is in large part a function of genetics. After all, a series of studies seemed to indicate that IQ is【S2】______inherited.
    If intelligence deeply lied in our genes, that would lead to the depressing conclusion that neither schooling nor anti-poverty programs can accomplish much. Yet while this view of IQ as inherited has been【S3】______held, the evidence is growing that it is, at a【S4】______level, deeply wrong. Richard Nisbett, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, has just opposed this view in a new book, Intelligence and How to Get It, which also offers very good【S5】______for dealing with poverty and inequality in America.
    Good schooling relates particularly closely to higher IQ’s. Professor Nisbett strongly【S6】______intensive early childhood education because of its proven ability to raise IQ and improve long-term【S7】______. Another proven helping way is to tell junior high school students that IQ is expandable, and that their intelligence is something they can help shape. Students【S8】______to that idea work harder and get better grades. That’s particularly true of girls and math, apparently because some girls assume that they are genetically【S9】______at numbers; deprived of a(n)【S10】______for failure, they excel.
[A] substantial [F] advocates [K] acknowledges
[B] accessed [G] excuse [L] exposed
[C] widely [H] advice [M] outputs
[D] disadvantaged [I] clumsy [N] outcomes
[E] awkward [J] largely [O] practical
【S4】
选项
答案O
解析 空前的a和空后的level表明，本空应填形容词。结合下面提到的Richard Nisbett教授的最新作品《智力以及如何得到它》以及下段首句提到的良好的学校教育与高智商密切相关可知，智商与后天培养也有密切关系，所以说智商主要来自遗传这个观点是不切合实际的，故答案为[O]practical“切合实际的”。at a practical level在此意为“从实际层面来讲”。
