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*结束这类试题有如下的共同特点：1. 计划愿望和节假日活动的文章多以说明文为主。2. 计划类考查的题目多是以细节为主，因此题目难度不大。3. 从国家政策到百姓日常生活的未来科技的计划。4. 给日常的学习生活各个方面进行有计划的指导建议。5. 中国的节假日的来历、活动。6. 国外传统节日的介绍及各种活动。链接高考 链接1 （2012福建） holidays are really important. many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.but holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.for working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. when an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. for some this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.the schools that i visit in nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. the number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding childrens welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. during the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.while teachers are holidaying in the uk, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. the lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.in setting out its plans for a five-term year, nottingham city council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down lo four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. we believe this will give real “down time for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.we acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. however, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.71.the passage is probably written by .a. an experienced teacherb. a working parentc. an inspired studentd. a city council member72.the underlined word they in the second paragraph refers to .a. environmentsb. holidaysc. wagesd. benefits73.it is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to. a. 2 weeksb
