2019届高考英语一轮复习自选训练 阅读理解24阅读理解-计划愿望和节假日活动Everyone knows about 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 FairmontSenior 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 ValleyHigh 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.

Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were takenaway 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. Eventhe 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 leaveallowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselvestaking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some this makes even an affordable familyholiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring andinspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham andmany schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertakeprograms of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding childrenswelfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this ismissed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where theylive. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford theinspiring 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 summerholiday down lo four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by atwo-week break. We believe this will give real “down time for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enoughnot to cause a real break in learning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children areeducated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we allhave 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. 4.5 weeksC. 5 weeksD. 6 weeks74.The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students_.A.obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB.get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in schoolC.benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentD.have more school days to receive free school meals75.It can be inferred from the passage that_.A.working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their childrenB.the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried outC.the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real down timeD.some school staff will say “ No to the plans for a shorter summer holiday内容总结
