英语四级听力答案：

正确答案：C

解析：主旨题需要把握全文内容。文章前半局部说的是人类似

乎越来越聪明了，但是中间话锋一转('sa

riousargument...)说明有不同看法，后半局部主要讲异议。故

C是对文章最全面的概括。

studiesfromsomecountriessuggest?

正确答案：A

解析：原文提到，有一些国家的研究说明，至少从20世纪50

年代开始，人们的智商在不断上升。A是原文的同义转换。

ssagedoesthenumberofpatentsawarded

convey?

正确答案：B

解析：此题虽然是考查对文章尾句的理解，但也应该结合前

文，由于文中后半局部都是否认含义，尾句中的didnotshow

cleartrends应该也是说没有明显的“上升趋势”。
