D
He looks like somebody important! I remember thinking about a middle-aged man standing at a checkout counter． Something set him apart． Even the boy bagging groceries seemed to sense it． He sped up than usual as he glanced with respect at the man．
Trying to find out what was different about him, I found that he looked quite ordinary． Although he gave the impression of being tall, I could see he was actually a little shorter than average． His appearance wasn’t particularly outstanding, and he was wearing plain weekend sports attire ( 運(yùn)動(dòng)休閑裝 )． Not until the man was leaving did it strike me． He carried himself as if he were somebody worth caring about． Head up and chest out, he walked proudly from the market． I watched the other shoppers as they looked down over their baskets． And me? In the glass of the store’s side doors, I saw reflected ( 映現(xiàn) ) a worn-out housewife who looked as if she’d carried too many bags of groceries．
Suddenly, the words I’d heard my mother repeat hundreds of times as I was growing up held new meaning． “Stand up straight ! Lift yourself by pretending strings are pulling you from the tops of your ears．” I thought of myself being pulled up ． I felt taller as I came nearer to the market’s doors． This time I saw reflected a woman who looked as if she knew where she was going! But as I rushed home in five o’clock traffic and tried to fix dinner before a seven o’clock meeting, my good manners disappeared． It wasn’t until the next day as I was trying on clothes in a department store that I remembered again． Each thing I put on seemed wrong． Suddenly I recalled the man in the supermarket． I lifted myself up． The dress looked nicer on me． I liked the dress! Sure enough, I looked five to seven pounds lighter． Dieting titles I’d read came to mind, such as “How to Lose Pounds in Weeks?” Now I had a new title: “How to Look Thinner in Seconds．”
68．The boy bagging groceries glanced with respect at the man because    ____   ．
A．the man gave him some tips for his service
B．the man walked in a strange way in the supermarket
C．his manners was different from the other people in the supermarket
D．the man was a special person for him 
69．The writer looked five to seven pounds lighter because _________   ．
A．she was having a diet
B．she stood straight up
C．she was taking exercise
D．she wore a beautiful dress 
70．The underlined phrase “ set him apart ” in the first passage probably means        ．
A．made him unordinary
B．made him strange
C．made him handsome
D．upset him

Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That's where the similarities ended.

I was tall and she was small. My thick, black hair had been recently cut short. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was awkward and shy. She wasn't. I couldn't stand her. I considered her my enemy. She liked me. She wanted to be friends.

One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too shocked to answer any other way. No one had invited me over to play. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.

I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.

When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies — which was my next surprise. I would have thought she'd outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That's when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and we both had wild imaginations.

We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from smiling so much. She showed me her wardrobe, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.

Paris had the whole neighborhood charmed. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses, spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.

Paris, my first real friend since childhood, taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.

1.The writer and Paris were similar in that      .

A. they were both new students

B. both of them were friendly

C. both of them were tall

D. they were both the youngest in class

2.In the article the writer described Paris as a girl who was      .

A. awkward and shy  B. fashionable and proud

C. quiet and lonely  D. friendly and lovely

3.What did the writer learn from Paris?

A. How to make best use of her neighborhood.

B. How to dress and look fashionable.

C. How to become a good writer

D. How to make friends.

4.From the article, we can see that through her friendship with Paris, the writer      .

A. found she and Paris had more similarities than differences

B. was able to fit in at her new school with Paris’ help

C. was not so awkward or shy as before

D. learned more about fashion herself

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學(xué)年貴州省五校高三第五次聯(lián)考英語題 題型：閱讀理解

If you ask Americans whether or not they think their former president George W. Bush is smart, most of them will probably tell you they don’t think so. However, Bush’s IQ score is estimated to be above 120, which puts him in the top ten percent of the population.

It doesn’t seem to make sense. How come someone with such an IQ score is not considered smart? Researchers say: IQ does not tell the whole story. Some people have high IQ scores, but still they can be poor thinkers and decision-makers.

Keith Stanovich, a Canadian professor of human development and applied psychology, has been looking into the “clever fools” phenomenon for 15 years. He says IQ tests are very good at measuring certain mental faculties(能力), including logic, learning ability, working-memory capacity (how much information you can hold in mind), etc. Those faculties play a part in one’s academic success, but rational thinking is more important for us to make good judgments in real-life situations.

IQ tests fail to work when it comes to rational thinking. That’s because they are unable to assess things such as a person’s ability to weigh up information, or whether an individual can set aside the cognitive biases(認(rèn)知偏差)that may be misleading.

“A high IQ is like height in a basketball player,” says David Perkins, who studies thinking and reasoning skills at Harvard University. “It is very important, all other things being equal. But all other things aren’t equal. It takes a lot more to be a good basketball player than being tall, and it takes a lot more to be a good thinker than having a high IQ.”

1.According to the text your academic success depends on your __________.

A．logic

B．mental faculties

C．learning ability

D．working-memory capacity

2.If you need to decide where to invest your money, you must use your ______________

A．IQ scores

B．IQ test

C．rational thinking

D．cognitive biases

3.We know from the text that ____________

A．the former president George W. Bush has a high IQ score

B．many Americans think their former president George W. Bush is smart

C．David Perkins believe that a person’s IQ doesn’t need to be developed

D．Keith Stanovich looked into the “clever fools” phenomenon 5 years ago

4.What is the text mainly about?

A．Those who have high IQ do better than those who don’t in everything.

B．People with high IQ scores must be good decision-makers

C．People with high IQ scores are always smart in every way.

D．Why a high IQ doesn’t mean you’re smart
