Passage One

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. That’s how it is with a learning disability -you don’t 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 the 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: \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: \, but we feel this isn’t the place for her.\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 couldn’t. Without me, my daughter stood no chance of making it.

21 .According to the first paragraph, Allegra’s problem was _ . A. psychological

B. obvious

C. physical

D. invisible

22. Allegra was disabled in that _.

A. she was unable to learn like a normal child B. she was always reading with her book upside down

C. she isolated herself from other children in her class D. she was living in her dreams in conflict with the real world 23 .The expression \ _. A. the last blow B. the last school C. special schools D. normal education 24. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.

A. the author would ask Henry Ford II for help B. the author would continue to help her daughter C. the author would leave New York for the sake of her daughter D. the author had to use money or position to deal with the problem 25.The phrase \ _. A. becoming a figure skater B. becoming a ballet dancer C. becoming successful

D. getting proper treatment

Passage Two

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 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 belief 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 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 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 way 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, 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, the author believes that _. A. intelligent students may fail to do well in their schoolwork B. gifted students are too smart to do well in their schoolwork C. intelligent students are bound to succeed in their schoolwork D. gifted students understand what can go wrong and how to learn

27. When too much 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 grades B. intelligent students know how to avoid laziness trap

C. clever students require more intelligence than hard work D. bright students may succeed even if they do not work hard 28. It is observed in the third paragraph that _. A. highly gifted students show a great desire to learn B. highly gifted students tend to fall ill with no reason

C. highly intelligent students also need encouragement D. highly intelligent students score higher than average students 29. According to the author, a student’s IQ is _.

A. one of the factors of success B. the only factor for his success C. directly related to persistence D. closely associated with competence 30. This passage aims to tell people about _.

A. the academic performance of gifted students B. the proper attitudes toward gifted students C. the difficulties in recognizing gifted students D. the motivation students need for their studies
