請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題：   Experts have traditionally seen a high level of intelligence as applicable across the board to most human activities,guaranteeing its possessor success in whatever s/he does. In the 1980s, however, Prof. Howard Gardner proposed thetheory of multiple intelligences, suggesting that the mind does not possess just one kind of intelligence, but rather manydistinct intelligences, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, naturalistic intelligences, among others.    A person with a high level of linguistic intelligence is endowed with a large vocabulary and the ability to expresshim or herself well. Gardner sees the poet as the best example of an astute user of language. In creating poems, poetsmake use of the full complexity of meaning and the widest range of linguistic dynamics. Naturally, people with a highlevel of linguistic intelligence would excel at language-related activities such as writing, teaching and persuading others.    Logical-mathematical intelligence refers to the skills often associated with scientists and mathematicians.Scientists tend to give it a more significant role than other intelligences. Gardner certainly disagrees with this point ofview. He sees logical-mathematical intelligence as simply one among a set of intelligences, asserting that though it mayhave been exceptionally important in western societies, it has played a more modest role in other societies.    Spatial intelligence refers to the ability to visualize things in the mind accurately and precisely. This intelligence istherefore associated with artists, who are experts in visualizing and making intelligent use of forms and colors. Aperson with a high level of spatial intelligence may also have excellent visual memory, and perhaps even a so-calledphotographic memory.    Naturalistic intelligence has been quite controversial and critics generally see it as an area of interest. Gardnerhypothesizes that people who have a high level of naturalistic intelligence are more sensitive to nature and to their ownrelationship to it. A person who is successful at growing plants or raising animals could be said to have a high level ofnaturalistic intelligence. Such a person could be a successful gardener or farmer, and would also make a good scientiststudying the natural world.    The revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences has resulted in several criticisms. Some have questioned thecriteria that qualify something as an intelligence. Others have pointed out that the existence of multiple intelligenceshas never been proven through scientific research. These criticisms notwithstanding, the theory of multipleintelligences has sparked fascinating debate about the value and the nature of intelligence. Its applications in the fieldof education have led to more diverse educational methods as teachers seek to access and develop the multipleintelligences of students.
