Questions30to32arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.

30.Whatisthespeakermainlytalkingabout?

英語(yǔ)四級(jí)聽力答案：

正確答案：C

解析：主旨題需要把握全文內(nèi)容。文章前半局部說(shuō)的是人類好像越來(lái)越聰慧了，但是中間話鋒一轉(zhuǎn)(Butnotsofast.Theresaseriousargument...)說(shuō)明有不同看法，后半局部主要講異議。故C是對(duì)文章最全面的概括。

31.Whatdostudiesfromsomecountriessuggest?

正確答案：A

解析：原文提到，有一些國(guó)家的討論說(shuō)明，至少?gòu)?0世紀(jì)50年月開頭，人們的.智商在不斷上升。A是原文的同義轉(zhuǎn)換。
