Test 2(2024·山东德州第二中学模拟)

In it, he writes, “Joy is the spark that can ignite(点燃) every child's potential genius.”　　2　　linking genius to IQ scores or standardized test results, he offers a(n)　　3　　perspective(视角). Combining the Greek word “genesis”, meaning “birth”, and the Latin word “genial”, signifying “joyful”, Armstrong created a novel　　4　　of genius as “the birth of joy”.
