题目解答

答案

D

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章细节信息的捕捉能力，需要结合原文中关于IQ测试内容的描述进行判断。

解题核心思路：

  1. 明确题目要求：找出“可能出现在智力测试中”的选项。
  2. 回归原文，定位关键句：IQ测试包含语言类比、视觉类比、纸张折叠裁剪后的想象、数字序列推理等任务。
  3. 对比选项，筛选与原文描述高度匹配的内容。

破题关键点：

  • 选项D中的“选择相似的词或图”对应原文中的“verbal and visual analogies”（语言和视觉类比）。
  • 选项B中的“折叠或切割纸张”对应“envision paper after it has been folded and cut”（想象折叠、切割后的纸张形状），但需注意题目问的是“可能要求的活动”，而选项D更直接体现测试的核心任务。

选项分析

A. Answering philosophical questions

  • 原文中提到Marilyn回答过“爱与依恋”“运气的本质”等哲学问题，但明确指出这类问题超出传统IQ测试的范围（“eluded some of the best poets and philosophers”），因此不属于智力测试的要求。

B. Folding or cutting paper into different shapes

  • 原文提到测试要求“envision paper after it has been folded and cut”（想象折叠、切割后的纸张形状），但实际操作折叠或切割纸张并非测试内容，而是通过题目描述进行空间想象。

C. Telling the differences between certain concepts

  • 原文中Marilyn被问及概念辨析（如“love vs. fondness”），但这类问题属于开放性思维，而非IQ测试的标准化任务。

D. Choosing words or graphs similar to the given ones

  • 原文中明确指出IQ测试包含“complete verbal and visual analogies”（完成语言和视觉类比），直接对应选项D。
