题目内容

11．Everyone knows about straight-A students．We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge（报复）of the Nerds．They get high grades，all right，but only by becoming dull laborers，their noses always stuck in a book．They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports．
How，then，do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres？
Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School．She also sings in the choral group，serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society．For two years she has maintained A's in every subject．Melendres，a freshman at the University of New Mexico，was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque．He played soccer and basketball well，exhibited at the science fair，and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station．Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony，he achieved straight A's in his regular classes，plus bonus points for A's in two college-level courses．
How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it？Brains aren't the only answer．"Top grades don't always go to the brightest students，"declares Herbert Walberg，a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago，who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students．"Knowing how to make the most of your innate（天生的）abilities counts for more．Much more．"
In fact，Walberg says，students with high IQ sometimes don't do as well as classmates with lower IQ．For them，learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down．
Hard work isn't the whole story，either．"It's not how long you sit there with the books open，"said one of the many-A students we interviewed．"It's what you do while you're sitting．"Indeed，some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates．
The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn．
73．What can we conclude from the first paragraph？B
A．Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students．
B．People have unfavorable impression on straight-A students．
C．Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films．
D．Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society．
74．Some students become super-achievers mainly becauseC．
A．they are born cleverer than others
B．they work longer hours at study
C．they make full use of their abilities
D．they know the shortcut to success
75．What will be talked about after the last paragraph？C
A．The interviews with more students．
B．The role IQ plays in learning well．
C．The techniques to be better learners．
D．The achievements top students make．

分析 本文讲述了以前人们对于学习优秀的学生有很多的误解，认为这样的学生都是只知道学习的书虫．运动技能和社交技能缺乏，但是实际上现在的很多学生在各个方面都有了全面的发展．

解答 BCC
73  B   推断题．由第一段后两句"but only by becoming dull laborers，their noses always stuck in a book．They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports．"可知书呆子们并不擅长社交并且做运动时显得很笨，由此可推断他们并不招人喜欢，所以B项正确．而A、C、D项在第一段均没有相关内容，所以A、C、D项错误．故正确答案为B．
74  C  细节题．由第四段最后一句"'Knowing how to make the most of your innate（天生的） abilities counts for more．Much more．'"可知正确答案为C．
75   C  推断题．由最后一段"The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn．"讲那些成绩最好的孩子之所以成绩比别人好是因为他们掌握了一些能够走到别人前面的技巧，由此可推断接下来的一段应该具体讲那些让他们成绩变好的技巧，故正确答案为C．

1．Audio digital books（有声数字化图书） are becoming more and more popular these years．One of the reasons for this is that audio digital books can be"read"in many places comfortably．

The next favourite place would be while commuting（乘车上下班），either on the road to and from work，on buses，trains or even on long flights．They prove to be a good companion（陪伴） and help reduce stress．

2．All areas of the world face a nurses shortage．But the shortage is most severe in developing countries．Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay，better working conditions and better chances for career development．For example，nearly 2，000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006．
    The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1，000 people．The ratio（比例） of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union（EU）．Now，more than 21，000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States，Canada and Britain．
    Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development（O．E．C．D） in Paris．He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries．He says，"There is concern in most O．E．C．D．countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand．And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing．"Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years．At the same time，the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow，intensifying the shortage of nurses．
    Gaetan Lafortune said，"In the U．S．，for instance，some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020．"The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O．C．E．D．Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses．As a result of that，O．E．C．D．countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses．

      It was First Lady Helen Taft's idea to plant the famous cherry trees in Washington，D．C．Each spring these blossoming trees attract thousands of visitors to the nation's capital Mrs．Taft also influenced the male members of her family and the White House staff in a strange way：she convinced（说服）them to shave off their beards（胡须）!

6．A major new development in system of work in Britain is taking place．Flexible working hours，or"Flextime"，are catching on fast，and trend is continuing．In 1973，over 500 organizations had adopted the idea，and by 1974，this number had risen to over 200，000．
   Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960's，but reached Britain only in 1972．The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want，with only two requirements．These are，firstly，that all workers must present for certain"key"times in the day，and secondly，that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week．
   The system had proved a total success wherever it has been tried．A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages：a better balance between working and private life，avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to finish a certain task before leaving．
   From the employer's point of view，the system tends to increase productivity，reduce labour turnover and give workers a greater sense of duty．At first，"Flexible"was mainly confined to white-collar workers，but it is now being applied to manual workers too．
65．According to"Flextime"system，workers need notA．
A．work at the same time

C．a complete failure                   
D．quite difficult
68．One of the great advantages of"Flextime"for workers is that theyB．
A．have a great sense of duty           
B．can avoid busy traffic
C．can get higher pay                 
D．can avoid working hard．
16．Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance．（71）B
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．（72）DOthers get a monthly allowance．
In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the children is expected to pay for with the money．
（73）G If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving．Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics．
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home．These jobs are a normal part of family life．
Paying children to do extra work around the house，however，can be useful．（74）E
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money．（75）A They can spend it by buying things they want．Or they can save it．

A．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause．
B．The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．
C．They are not less likely to make mistakes．
D．Some children get a weekly allowance．
E．It can even provide an understanding of how a business works．
F．Their parents will teach them a hard lesson．
G．At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it．
3．If you walk into W．Lloyd Jerome's dental surgery（手术） in Glasgow，you'll see bright paintings and a fashionable blue couch which patients sit on while he checks their teeth．Jerome says，‘That's because they're frightened．'
（71）B‘That's why I don't wear a white coat．I find that's one of the things that people associate with pain．In fact，my philosophy is that dental treatment should take place in an atmosphere of relaxation，interest and，above all，enjoyment．'
     Which is all highly shocking for anyone who associates dental treatment with pain，or at the very least，formal，chinical visits．He says，‘If people are relaxed，entertained and correctly treated，they will forget such previous unpleasant experiences．'
       Virtual-reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques，‘（72）DThe headsets are used for the first check-up，where the patient sits on the blue couch and watches an underwear film while I look at their teeth．"Then the headset switches to a special camera，to give the patient a visual tour around their mouth．'
       Another key point is that the surgery smells more like a perfume shop than a dentist's．Today there is the smell of orange．"When people walk in，I want them to realize with all their senses that it's not like going to dentist's．Smell is very important（73）F．
       Known as Clasgow's most fashionable dentist，Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously‘（74）C'．For example，Jerome uses a special instrument which sprays warm water on the teeth to clean them，rather than scraping them．‘It feels a bit strange，but as long as people are relaxed，it's not painful．'（75）A‘One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient，you make it easier for yourself'He sees his patient-centred attitude as the start of a gradual movement towards less formality in the conservative British dentistry profession．
      At that moment，a patient arrives．Jerome rushes over，offers him a cup of tea，askes him what video he'd like to watch and leads him gently towards the chair．
        
A．Five years ago，Jerome went to the United States to do research．
B．He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid．
C．The relaxation techniques are important but the quality of the treatment is the most important thing．
D．We were the first practice in Britain to introduce them．
E．Now they look forward to their visits here．
F．That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you're frightened of dentists．
G．Fifty percent of the population only go to the dentist when they're in pain．
20．When his mother requires him to do homework，he decided to have the lightburning（burn） all night to pretend he was working hard．
1．Life islimited（有限的），but learning is endless．
