roman is on the tennis team at fairmont senior high school. she also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council(学生会) and is a member of the mathematics society. for two years she has maintained as in every subject. melendres, now 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 as in his regular classes, plus bonus points for as in two college-level courses. how do super-achievers like roman and melendres do it? brains arent the only answer. top grades dont always go to the brightest students, declares herbert walberg, professor of education at the university of illinois at chicago, who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students. knowing how to make the most of your innate(天赋的) abilities counts for more. much more. in fact, walberg says, students with high i.q.s sometimes dont do as well as classmates with lower i.q.s. for them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down. hard work isnt the whole story, either. its not how long you sit there with the books open, said one of the many a students we interviewed. its what you do while youre 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. 1. the “nerds” can probably be _.a. dull bookworms lacking sports and social skillsb. successful top students popular with their peersc. students with certain learning difficultiesd. born leaders crazy about social activities2. what can we conclude from the first paragraph?a. most tv programs and films are about straight-a students.b. people have unfavorable impression of 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.3. some students become super-achievers mainly because _.a. they are born cleverer than othersb. they worker longer hours on studyc. they make full use of their abilitiesd. they know the short cut to success4. what will be talked about after the last paragraph?a. the interviews with more students.b. the role i.q. plays in learning well.c. the techniques to be better learners.d. the achievements top students make.5. what can we infer from the passage?a. students neednt work hard on study any more.b. the brightest students can never get top grades.c. top students certainly achieve all-around developments. d. students with average i.q.s can become super-achievers.【参考答案】15 a b c c d阅读理解。the coalition for the homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the united states. it is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that of over two hundred million people living in the united states, up to three million are homelessand the number is still growing. since the late 1970s,fast rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(经济衰退)have made it impossible for many americans to meet housing costs. sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable homes. according to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it. the old idea of a homeless person, that of the single man who gets drunk all the time, is no longer true. a much lager part of the population now finds itself homeless. even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application. ( ) 1. the word “address” in the first line probably means .a. talk about b. deal with c. fight for d. write to【答案】：b【解析】：猜测词义题。由后文it is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that of over two hundred million people living in the united states,可得出选b。( ) 2. how many people are homeless in the u.s. according to the coalition studies?a. 39% of the population. b. 200 million people.c. about 3 million people. d. about one-fifth of the population.【答案】：c【解析】：细节题，由up to three million are homeless可得出c。( ) 3. homeless people often have difficulty finding a job because .a. they have no home addressesb. they mostly have a drinking problemc. they arent supported by government programsd. they often dont have enough work experience【答案】：a【解析】：细节题，由he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application.可知。( ) 4. what is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the u.s.?a. the passing of new housing laws. b. the fast growth of family size. c. the slow construction of houses. d. the ever-rising price of housing.【答案】：d【解析】：细节题，由fast rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(经济衰退)可知选d。阅读理解。according to the us government, wind farms off the pacific coast could produce 900 gig watts of electricity every year. unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills (see picture) to touch bottom. an experiment under way off the coast of norway, however, could help put them anywhere.the project, called hywind, is the worlds first large-scale deepwater wind turbine(涡轮发电机).although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton,2.3-megawatt turbine, hywind represents totally new technology. the turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture),a technology hywinds creator, the norwegian company statoilhydro, has developed recently. the steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cable(缆索)；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. hywinds stability(稳定性)in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. if all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern norway as early as september.to produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than hywind does, but its difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. to make that turbine heavier, the whole spars to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox(变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture )hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps
