高二英语下册试题练习

　　"We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product, " the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.

　　Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制 台) that is connected to a database (数据库). The console divides each bark into six emotional types——happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire——and shows common phrases, such as "You're ticking me off," that fit the dog's emotional state.

　　Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation(合作)with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.

　　One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. "They are too unpredictable (反复无常) , " the marketing manager said.

　　65. This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual ___________.

　　A. was invented in Japan 　　　　 B. has developed quickly

　　C. will be sold in America 　　　　 D. sells well for its price

　　66. The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ___________.

　　A. markets 　　 B. products 　　　 C. plans 　　 　D. cats

　　67. From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is ___________ the sale of its new product.

　　Everyone knows about straight—A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds(《菜鸟大反攻》)，a comedy film satirizing(讽刺)social life in college. 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 school singing group, serves on the students’ union and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has kept up 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 rewarding points for A’s in two college-level course.

　　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 far 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.

　　68. 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

　　69. 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

　　70. 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 glades

　　C. Top students certainly achieve all-around developments

　　D. Students with average IQ can become super-achievers
