第三部分：阅读理解（共25题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。K
A
Everyone knows about straight-A students．We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge（报复）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．
41. The underlined word “nerds” can probably be  _______   ．
A. dull bookworms lacking sports and social skills
B. successful top students popular with their peers
C. students with certain learning difficulties
D. born leaders crazy about social activities
42. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?
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.
43. Some students become super-achievers mainly because  ________    .
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
44. What can we infer from the passage?
A. IQ is more important than hard work in study．
B. The brightest students can never get low grades．
C. Top students certainly achieve all-around developments．
D. Students with average IQ can become super-achievers．
45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Higher IQ, better performance
B. Diligence leads to genius
C. Following your own course
D. Being the best of whatever you are

B
I count myself lucky to have survived two tough years of unemployment with increasing financial problems during the period after 9/11 right up to the SARS epidemic. My family had just returned from overseas as we were away for a year on study purposes. The situation was made worse when we decided to buy a private house burdened with a mortgage loan.
Although my wife works, it was tough to make ends meet with only one income. We also had a young daughter to raise. I faced sleepless nights trying to meet the minimum income payments for all my credit facilities especially when the bank account dried up. There was an unforgettable day when my ATM bank account showed a balance of less than $20. The worst moments of my life came when I had to borrow cash from friends to tide over. This is when you realize who your true friends are and whether they will stand by you when you are almost down and out. To this day, I am thankful to many who helped me financially in a willing manner.
During that period, I hovered（彷徨）between desperation and panic. Naturally, relations with my wife were not the best. We often argued over financial matters. After about six months of unemployment, I realized the first step was to manage my emotional health above all else. I realized that, if I could manage my emotions better and stay positive, I had a better chance of coming out of my financial crisis. I also drew up a timetable so my days could pass by fruitfully.
When one does not work, one has much free time to idle and often negative thoughts flood our minds. I hope to share some personal experiences and strategies and, if possible, help some who are depressed and affected by the current financial crisis. I dare not say these strategies are surefire（必定成功的）solutions but at least they can provide hope to the depressed and fuel optimism in those who are unemployed.
46. According to the text, what made the writer’s situation worse than ever before?
A. The SARS epidemic B. The author’s being out of work
C. His family’s return from overseas D. The mortgage loan of the house
47. Why did the author spend some sleepless nights? Because __________.
A. he could hardly make ends meet B. his wife was laid off

A. A friend can be judged by his company
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. One can only know his friends well in hard times.
D. Nothing is more important than true friends

A. Being free can do good to one’s body and mind

C
Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others."
Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens.
Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation.
Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic.
Another man who could sing a song
