山东省高密市2015一轮复习英语阅读理解专练（5）阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。 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 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.

halfentered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.the driver looked at her but made no answer，so she repeated the question.to her surprise，he then closed the door，by her arm，and drove off.the woman，her arm stuck in the door，ran alongside the bus，shouting.passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they，too，were shouting.when the driver finally did stop and open the door，the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number.then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.after the drivers bosses at a taxsupported governmental company(cia) heard of the incident，they looked into it and set his punishment：a fiveday suspension(停职) without pay.that struck me as rather light.but bill baxa，the companys pubicrelations man，said，“thats a pretty serious punishment.”five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm？baxa said，“any time you take money away from someone，it is a terrible punishment.the driver makes $14 an hour.multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost.”yes，that comes to $560，a good sum.but we know that people in the private company are fired for far less minor mistakes.if the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a weeks pay is more than enough，i offer them a sporting(公正的) suggestion：give me a bus.then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus，and ill slam the door shut，start the bus quickly and take them for a fast oneblock run.and ill pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it.any takers？mr. baxa？anyone？i didnt think so.31the nurse halfentered one of the buses because_.athe bus they wanted didnt stop therebshe wanted the driver to stop the buscshe wanted to get some information from the driverdshe and her uncle couldnt wait any longer at the corner32how many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off?aalmost one block.balmost two blocks.cprobably three blocks.dprobably five or six blocks.33why did the author offer a sporting suggestion?abecause the cta paid little attention to the incident.bbecause he bus driver had not been fired.cbecause he wanted to threaten the cta people.dbecause he thought the punishment was a light one.34from this passage we may infer that_.amany people in the private sector are fired for minor mistakes every daybpeople in the private sector usually get more serious punishment than those in the public sectorcpeople in the private sector get much higher pay than those in the public sectordpeople in the private sector are better trained than those in the public sector35which of the following is not true?athe company is a bus company supported by the government.bthe writer and mr.baxa disagreed with each other on the bus companys decision.cthe driver finally stopped the bus under the pressure of the passengers.dthe writer asked the bus company to give him a bus if his suggestion was refused.31c从第一段最后一句的后半部分可知，她问情况，也就是打听信息。32c根据文章第三段最后一句和第四段最后一句，关键词语：almost a block和another couple of blocks可确定答案为c项。33d第五段最后一句已点明了原因。34b从第八段的第二句可看出：私营公司的人员会因很小的错误而被开除，说明在私营公司的人员所受的处分要重得多。35d文章中虽然说了give me a bus，但这并不是作者的本意，作者提出这种建议主要是提醒人们对这个问题进行换位思考。故d项的说法是错误的。维a 阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分)(2012陕西卷)three boys and
