11．Everyone knows about straight-A students．We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge（報復(fù)）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．

16．He met her at a party．She was outstanding while he was so normal．After the party，he invited her for coffee．She was surprised but being polite，she agreed．
As they sat in a nice coffee shop，he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable．Suddenly，he asked the waiter，"Could you please give me some salt？I'd like to put it in my coffee．"Everyone stared at him．He turned red，but when the salt came，he put it in his coffee and drank．Curious，she asked，"Why salt with coffee？"He explained，"When I was a little boy，I lived near the sea．I liked playing on the sea．I could feel the taste of sea，just like this salty coffee．"
That was a really nice talk，also a good beginning of their story．They continued to date．She found that actually he was a man who met all her demands．Then the story was just like every beautiful love story：they got married and lived a happy life．
After 40 years，he passed away and left her a letter which said：My dearest，please forgive my life-long lie．Remember the first time we dated？I was so nervous that I asked for salt instead of sugar．It was hard for me to ask for a change，so I just went ahead．I never thought that could be the start of our conversation．I tried to tell you the truth，but I was afraid that it would ruin everything．I don't like the salty coffee．But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life just because I love you!
Her tears made the letter totally wet．Someday，someone asked her，"What's the taste of salty coffee？"She replied，"It's sweet．"

6．Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio．These public media receive money to operate from private citizens，organizations and government．Many of their programs are educational．But most of the American media are run by business for profit．These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years．Newspapers，magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity．At the same time，online，cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength．So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages．
In general，more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment．At the same time，fewer owners control them．Huge companies have many holdings （股份）．In some areas，one company controls much of the media．One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television．It comes into most homes over wires．It does not use the public airwaves to present programs，as broadcast television does．Like broadcast television，most cable television programs perform advertisements．This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes．Thirty years ago，few people had cable．Today，abut sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television．Television by satellite is also gaining popularity．
Over the years，traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible．Many cable companies，however，present programs for one special group of viewers．For example，there are cable stations for people who like books，cooking，travel，golf or comedy．
29．Which of the following is true about American public media？D
A．They depend on the government．
B．They are controlled by the government
C．They are free

10．How to deal successfully with a child showing outstanding musical ability？It's not always clear how best to develop and encourage his gift．Many parents may even fail to recognize and respond to their children's need until discouragement explodes into uncooperative behavior．And while most schools are equipped to deal with children who are especially able in academic subjects，the musically gifted require special understanding which may not always be available in an ordinary school．Such children may well benefit from the education offered by a specialist music school．
The five music schools in Britain aim to provide an environment where gifted children can develop their skills under the guidance of professional musicians．Children here spend about half of a day on musical activities，for example，individual lessons，orchestras，chamber（室內(nèi)音樂的）groups，voice training，conducting and theory．They also spend several hours a day practicing in private rooms．The rest of their time is taken up with the subjects：English，maths and basic sciences．
What are the disadvantages？An obvious problem is that the fees are high．However，each school will offer scholarships and other forms of financial aid．Secondly，not all parents want to send their children to boarding school，especially at an early age．Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such a tense and disciplined （守紀(jì)律的） environment．They stress，however，that their main aim is to help the students to become those who are excellent in all aspects．

61．If a child's musical ability is not recognized，A．
A．the child may behave badly
B．the ability may fade away
C．the child may lose interest
D．the parents may become anxious
62．What probably may musically gifted children face in ordinary schools？C
A．Their academic work may suffer．
B．Schools lack musical equipment．
C．Music is not seen as an important subject．
D．Parents and teachers don't work together．
63．What makes specialist music schools different from other schools？B
A．Their working day is longer．
B．A range of musical training is offered．
C．More than half the day is spent on music．
D．The children have mostly one-to-one lessons．
64．According to school directors，what is a possible disadvantage for pupils？D
A．Poor children may not be included．
B．They may lose their individuality．
C．There may be a discipline problem．
D．They may be too small on arrival．
65．The passage mainly talks aboutC．
A．education and development about children
B．disadvantages of music schools
C．music schools for children with music gift
D．how to deal with music talented children．

11．How do you pay for your coffee？Is it with change？I use my tap-and-go card．I don't even need to enter my PIN number or a signature to authorize payment．It's quicker and everybody in the queue is happy．
Contactless payments are gaining popularity．Those concerned about security will be pleased to know that the amount of money you can spend in one go is limited-in the UK it's currently£30．But if the card is used a few times in a row，a PIN number will be needed．If a thief gets hold of your card and goes on a spending spree（狂歡），your bank covers you against fraud（詐騙）．Whereas，if someone steals your banknotes，that's your bad luck!
For those who are always forgetting where they put their cards，there's a new solution：wearable tech：clothing and accessories that have integrated electronic technology．Kenneth Cukier，an economist and technology expert，says，"You can simply take any wireless card and the chip from it that your bank might issue you with，and you can put it in a coat．When you want to make a payment just wave your arm in front of the terminal and leave the coffee shop with your latte．This is intended for people who don't want to take their card out of their wallet，use their phone or their watch．"
Good，isn't it？And new ways of spending money are not stopping there．The future is all about biometrics．Very convenient if you are at the beach or a festival-there's a new system in development which will make it possible to read the unique maps of veins under the surface of your finger，and use them to authenticate payments-or prove that it's you making the payments．You just need to remember which finger you registered with．
So spending money is becoming easier all the time．And the temptation to buy more stuff increases．But it's worth bearing in mind that earning the money in the first place will still require the same effort．Back to work then!

28．Why are contactless payments welcomed？C
A．Users don't need to enter PIN number or sign a signature．
B．The bank may pay for the lost money．
C．They are quick and safe．
D．Users will never worry about fraud．
29．According to Kenneth Cukier，wearable techD．
A．is intended for buying coffee
B．makes buying more convenient
C．makes people lazier and forgetful
D．will be connected with our phones
30．Biometrics is a new way of payment whichB．
A．has already been used in some fields．
B．depends on your fingerprints．
C．a(chǎn)llows you to make a payment just by waving your arm．
D．depends on the unique vein structures of your finger．C
31．What is the tone of the author in the passage？
A．Anxious
B．Relieved
C．Humorous
D．Concerned．
