If you wear glasses, chances are you are smarter. Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.

The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16 and 102. The study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better health.

It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other. And it’s worth noting that what constitutes intelligence is subjective and can be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.

Forget genes though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hard-working and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance. He said sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren't found guilty.

Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip (時髦的). However, that hasn’t stopped many celebrities from happily wearing glasses even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one high-profile fan of fashion glasses.

4. What does the new study show?

A. People wearing glasses are smarter.

B. People wearing glasses are healthier.

C. Wearing glasses can make people cleverer

D. Wearing glasses is associated with higher IQ.

4.【答案】D

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found — people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.”可知，智商高的人戴眼鏡的可能性高30%，可知戴眼鏡與高智商有關，A選項過于絕對，并不是戴眼鏡的人就是聰明的，故選D。

5. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Shift B. Link

C. Proof D. Consequence

5.【答案】B

【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation.”可知，重要的是記住這些聯(lián)系并不是真正的原因。再根據(jù)下一句的表述“Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other.”可看出，他們之間具有關聯(lián)性，但是并不是其一引發(fā)其二。由此推斷出，correlation意為“相關”。shift意為“轉變”;link意為“關聯(lián)”;proof意為“證據(jù)”;consequence意為“結果”。故選B。

6. Why do some lawyers ask their clients to wear glasses in court?

A. Because it can create a moral image.

B. Because it can mislead the witnesses

C. Because it can highlight clients' qualities.

D. Because it can prove the clients’ innocence.

6.【答案】A

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第六句和第七句“Glasses soften their appearance.”“Sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren’t found guilty.”可知，戴眼鏡會柔化被告的形象。有時候有大量的證據(jù)表明他為之辯護的人違反了法律。他讓他們戴眼鏡而且他們不會被發(fā)現(xiàn)有罪?？赏浦恍┞蓭熥屗麄兊漠斒氯嗽诜ㄍド洗餮坨R是因為眼鏡可以創(chuàng)造一個道德形象。故選A。

7. What is the general attitude to those who wear glasses for fashion?

A. Positive B. Negative

C. Mixed D. Indifferent

7.【答案】C

【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第三句“People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, thought. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip”可知，不需要眼鏡的人有時戴眼鏡只是為了時尚。他們想要看起來世俗或酷，但并不是所有人都被這個想法所打動。有人覺得戴眼鏡會顯得很聰明，但是GQ雜志則認為為了聰明時髦而戴眼鏡是用力過猛的表現(xiàn)，可知答案選C。故選C。
