11、应的字母涂黑。Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.No one in my family could believe Allegra had any disability, much less one as severe as hers. To them a disability was physical, something you could see. They knew her as a happy, normal child. Thats how it is with a learning d

12、isability -you dont see obvious physical symptoms.But as she grew out of preschool, she would pretend to read-I knew she was pretending because the book was upside down. She withdrew into her own world where she could fantasize about being a ballet dancer, a Broadway actress or a figure skater. In t

13、he real world, ballet classes and music lessons led only to confusion, frustration and, ultimately, disappointment.As for school, there was no way she could be included in a mainstream classroom. I went through every special school in New York, only to be told over and over: She doesnt belong here.

14、The last blow came a few months after the diagnosis, when I was at a pay phone on 72nd Street, waiting for an answer from the very last school on my list. Finally a cold voice came on-I can still hear it-and said: Im sorry, but we feel this isnt the place for her. I hung up and stared at the phone i

15、n tears.I had lived my life as the daughter of Henry Ford II, and for the first time in my life I faced a problem that neither money nor position could solve. I nearly gave up, but I knew I couldnt. Without me, my daughter stood no chance of making it.21 .According to the first paragraph, Allegras p

16、roblem was _ .A. psychological B. obvious C. physical D. invisible22. Allegra was disabled in that _.A. she was unable to learn like a normal childB. she was always reading with her book upside downC. she isolated herself from other children in her classD. she was living in her dreams in conflict wi

17、th the real world23 .The expression a mainstream classroom(para. 3) refers, to _.A. the last blow B. the last schoolC. special schools D. normal education24.

18、terC. the author would leave New York for the sake of her daughterD. the author had to use money or position to deal with the problem25.The phrase making it (para. 4) probably means _.A. becoming a figure skater B. becoming a ballet dancerC. becoming successful D. getting proper treatmentPassage Two

19、Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Contrary to what many people believe, highly intelligent children are not necessarily bound to have an academic success. In fact, so-called gifted students may fail to do well because they are unusually smart. Ensuring that a gifted child reaches

20、 his or her potential requires an understanding of what can go wrong and how to satisfy the unusual learning requirements of extremely bright young people.One common problem gifted kids face is that they, and those around them, place too much importance on being smart. Such an emphasis can breed a b

21、elief that bright people do not have to work hard to do well. Although smart kids may not need to work hard in the lower grades when the work is easy, they may struggle and perform poorly when the work gets harder because they do not make the effort to learn. In some cases, they may not know how to

22、study, having never done it before. In others, they simply cannot accept the fact that some tasks require effort.If the scholastic achievement of highly intelligent children remains below average for an extended period, many teachers will fail to recognize their potential. As a result, such students

23、 may not get the encouragement they need, and may further be depressed to learn. They may fall far behind in their schoolwork and even develop behavior problems. Boys may turn aggressive or become class clowns（小丑）.Girls often develop performance anxiety and other symptoms such as stomachaches.One wa

24、y to avoid such difficulties is to recognize that IQ is just one of the elements for success. Children do well or struggle in school for a host of reasons apart from IQ, according to psychologist Franz Monks of the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands. These include motivation and persistence,

25、social competence, and the support of family, educators and friends. Emphasizing the importance of persistence and hard work, for example, will help a child avoid the laziness trap. Gifted children also need intellectual challenges-to teach them how to work hard.26. According to the first paragraph,

26、 the author believes that _.A. intelligent students may fail to do well in their schoolworkB. gifted students are too smart to do well in their schoolworkC. intelligent students are bound to succeed in their schoolworkD. gifted students understand what can go wrong and how to learn27. When too much

27、emphasis is placed on students intelligence, people are likely to take it for granted that _.A. smart students may not do well in the lower gradesB. intelligent students know how to avoid laziness trapC. clever students require more intelligence than hard workD. bright students may succeed even if t

28、hey do not work hard28. It is observed in the third paragraph that _.A. highly gifted students show a great desire to learnB. highly gifted students tend to fall ill with no reasonC. highly intelligent students also need encouragementD. highly intelligent students score higher than average students2

29、9. According to the author, a students IQ is _.A. one of the factors of successB. the only factor for his successC. directly related to persistenceD. closely associated with competence30. This passage aims to tell people about _.A. the academic performance of gifted studentsB. the proper attitudes t

30、oward gifted studentsC. the difficulties in recognizing gifted studentsD. the motivation students need for their studiesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Mars Global Surveyor is the oldest of five NASA robotic devices, which is designed to find out signs that Mars on

31、ce had water; and it had been taking detailed pictures of the red planet for a decade. Unfortunately, it stopped working on November 2 after it developed a motor problem.After two days of silence, ground control teams received a signal that the device had put itself into an emergency standby mode. T

This week, NASA engineers are preparing for what may be their last chance to recover the spacecraft.NASA plans to use a newly arrived device to take a pi

33、cture of the Surveyor to see how the failed craft is oriented to the sun for power and to Earth for communications. It is reported that the picture will be taken on Friday when the satellites are about 93 miles apart. The new high-powered camera should be able to image details of the Surveyor as sma

34、ll as about 10 centimeters. There is a good chance of recovering it.Flight controllers also plan to try to get the Surveyor to contact one or both of NASAs roving（漫游）geology stations, Spirit and Opportunity, which are located on opposite sides o. Marsequator（赤道）.The rovers would not be able to trans

35、mit the spacecraft5 science data, but engineers at least would get an idea of its general position. The linkup also could show if the Surveyor still has power. If the device has been unable to charge its batteries due to a positioning problem or failed component, it could run out of power with no ho

36、pe of recovering. But if it has power, the device is quite capable of autonomous control even if it doesnt hear from Earth.

37、or is _.A. to take pictures of the red planetB. to work out the problems of its motorC. to find out if there was water on MarsD. to find the causes of the failure in the device32.
