湖北武汉市2016高考英语阅读理解基础训练（10）【2015高考复习】阅读理解 “one city one book” is a generic name (通称) for a community reading program that attempts to get everyone in a city to read and discuss the same book.popular book picks have been harper lees to kill a mockingbird，ernest gainess a lesson before dying，and ray bradburys fahrenheit 451.“one city one book” programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city.the first such program was “if all of seattle read the same book” in 1998，started by nancy pearl at seattle public librarys washington center for the book.the book chosen for the program was the sweet hereafter by russell banks，written in 1991.other cities copied the idea，and the library of congress listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.each citys program has its own goals；these typically include building a sense of community and promoting literacy.nancy pearl warns against expecting too much from a program：“keep in mind that this is a library program，its not an exercise in civics，and that its not intended to have literature cure the racial divide.this is about a work of literature.” programs typically involve more than having everyone read the same book.some other activities that have been included are：book discussion sessions，scholarly lectures on the book or related topics，a visit by the author，exhibits，related arts programming (especially showing a movie of the book if there is one)，and integration into school curricula.in boston the “one city one story” program used shorter stories and distributed tens of thousands of free copies of the story over the course of a month.american library association puts out a detailed stepbystep guide on how to organize a local program，including the critical step of picking the one book.the center for the book at the library of congress tracks all known programs and the books they have used.【语篇解读】本文是说明文，介绍了美国开展的“一个城市，一本书”的读书活动。4“one city one book” programs_.aask everyone in a

straight-a students. we see them frequently in tv situation comedies and in movies likerevenge(复仇) 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 when it comes to 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(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

decide what time he wants to leave, and clearpath will give the fastest route. it looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. professor shahabi hopes to have clearpath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“i always thought that los angeles had the worst traffic, but now i
