二、2002年高考英语真题全国卷作答技巧
首先要通读全文，掌握整个文章的行文意思。这篇文章的大体含义是：智力到底是什么呢？当我在部队服役时，我曾接受过一种所有士兵都参加的智能测验，在标准得分为100的情况下，我得了160分。基地上没有哪个人曾见过这样的高分，于是他们便对我大加吹捧了两个小时之久。（这对我毫无意义。第二天我
仍然是一名列兵，最高的职务是担任伙食值勤员。）我一生中一直得到这样的高分，因此便有一种自鸣得意之感，认为自己非常聪明，而且期望别人也这样认为。然而，实际上，难道这类分数不是仅仅意味着我很善于回答那些编制智力测验的人们――智力爱好跟我类似的人们――认为值得回答的那类学究式的问题吗？比方说吧，我过去有位汽车修理师，据我估计，在这类智力测验中，他的得分不大可能会超过80。我过去总是想当然地以为我比他聪明得多。然而，每当我的汽车出了毛病，我总是急急忙忙地去找他，焦急地注视着他检查汽车的主要部位，恭听着他的见解，仿佛聆听神谕一般――而他总能把我的汽车修好。那好，假定让我的汽车修理师来为智力测验设计题目，或是让一位木匠、一个农夫或者是除了学究以外的几乎任何一个人来设计题目。按每一次这类的测验来衡量，我都会表明自己是一个笨蛋，而且我也会真的成为一个笨蛋。在一个无法运用我所受过的学校训练以及我在词语方面的才能，而不得不用双手工作，做一些复杂或艰苦的事情的世界上，我会干得很差劲。因此，我的智力并不是绝对的。它的价值是由我生活在其中的社会所决定的。它的数值是由那个社会中的一小部分人决定的，他们作为这类事情的仲裁人已设法把他们的意志强加在我们身上。再来考虑一下我的汽车修理师吧。他有个习惯，每次见到我都要跟我讲些笑话。有一次他从汽车引擎罩下面抬起头来说：“博士，有一个又聋又哑的人走进一家五金店买钉子。他把两个手指头一起放在柜台上，
