There are numerous similarities between Muhammad Ali and his 23-year-old daughter Laila. She is the only one of his nine sons and daughters to have those genes that led to the ring (拳擊場). Her father’s great status had nothing to do with Laila’s decision to pursue a boxing career. She has always been proud of his achievements, but he was never a great man to her ---- just dad.

What attracted her to take up boxing was the unusual sight of two women in the ring on the television screen when she was about to watch a Mike Tyson fight five years ago. She was very excited and said to herself, “I can do that.”

Laila’s father would prefer her not to take up the dangerous sport. Johnny McClain, her husband and manager (former boxer himself) feels the same way. Even though both the men in her life worry about her, they’re 100 percent supportive. “They don’t want me to get hurt,” she says.

Long before entering the ring, Laila was a fighter. Being the daughter of an outstanding boxer made her an easy target for high school kids to see how tough she was. They, not she, failed in the test. For the public, her biggest test took place last summer in the New York State when she took on Jacqui Frazier Lyde, the daughter of Joe Frazier, her father’s most famous opponent (對(duì)手) during the 1970s.

That fight provided the biggest shot in the arm that women’s boxing has received. News reporters poured in. Some called it “Ali/Frazier – Generation II”. No match involving women had ever attracted so much attention. Laila had a narrow victory in the fight.

Like it or not, she accepts the fact that she is the face of female boxing. And she hopes that her name and fame will help get the public to take it more seriously.

The name Ali has and always will bring her attention. But she is determined to make her own mark on opponents’ faces as well as in boxing history books. She says, “I want women’s boxing to get its due respect.”

1.Laila took up boxing because of _____.

A．her father’s great status                 B．a(chǎn) Mike Tyson fight

C．her admiration for her father              D．her interest in boxing

2.From the passage we can know _____.

A．Laila’s husband is still a boxer now

B．Laila wants to make contributions to the sport of boxing

C．Laila’s husband doesn’t think boxing is a dangerous sport

D．when Laila was in high school, she often failed in the fight with other kids

3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．That fight proved that Laila was a person of physical power.

B．That fight made female boxing more popular.

C．That fight provided people with a good change to enjoy themselves.

D．Laila made her first public appearance in that fight.

4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．A female boxer ---- Laila Ali                B．The best-known fight

C．Ali/Frazie ---- Generation II                D．Muhammad Ali and his daughter

Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge (報(bào)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 full use 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.

1.The underlined word “nerds” in paragraph 1 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

2.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.

3.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

4.What will be talked about after the last paragraph?

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.

5.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.

科目：高中英語 來源：河南省洛陽市2010屆高三下學(xué)期第二次統(tǒng)一考試 題型：閱讀理解

E

Erica David lives in Pinedale,Wyoming，USA，where winter can bring temperatures of below 35 degrees Fahrenheit，howling winds，and a lot of snow．So it was just natural that she chose to study snow for her school science fair in the sixth grade．

Now a junior in high school，Erica is in her sixth year of snow experiments，and is well on her way to becoming a snow expert．She started with a basic question：Could snow fences be built to work better?

Snow fences are used to keep snowdrifts（雪堆）from covering areas like roads of train tracks，or to help build up snow where it can help with water shortages in spring when it melts（融化）．“Also，I wanted to protect my animals better from blowing snow，”says Erica，who raises goats，sheep，and pigs．

Before she could test fence designs，Erica had to figure out what would act like real snow in her experiments. “I tested flour, sugar, and salt before I settled on dishwasher powder , ”she explains.

Science fairs offer students the chance to test theories, present findings to judges, and meet other researchers. Erica’s many achievements include competing at the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge for middle school students and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, where students from around the world present their science research.

But perhaps the best reward is that her research is already being put to good use. She has come up with an improved snow fence design, and this year she’s helping think out how to provide water supply to native plants, which have been killed off by drilling at nearby natural gasfields.

“Science fairs are an amazing experience,”says Erica. “Just pick your true feeling and go for it. ”

72. What does the passage suggest to us?

A. Science fairs are held for high school students in America.

B. Erica is the youngest show expert well known in America.

C. The environment brought much convenience for Erica to study snow.

D. The hope to contribute to her hometown made Erica experiment on snow.

73. In Erica’s hometown, snow fences may play a part in ________.

a. reducing the harm blowing snow does to animals

b. supplying water resource to the nearby gas fields

c. making up for the lack of water resource.

d. keeping the traffic smooth

A. a,b,c          B. a,b,d             C. b,c,d            D. a,c,d

74. Science fairs are attractive to students because they ________.

A. can have their research put into practical use

B. can have their scientific ideas tested out

C. are allowed to help protect the local wildlife

D. can learn about the most advanced technology

75. Which of the following material can best replace snowing in Erica’s experiment?

A. Flour.         B. Sugar.           C. Salt.             D. Dishwasher powder.
