At the middle school level，there are many academic clubs in which students can participate. Students can choose clubs that focus on an area of interest.

Mathcounts Club

Mathcounts tries to increase excitement towards mathematic achievement. It hopes to provide students with the foundation for success in science，technology，engineering and mathematics careers. Schools select individuals and teams to participate in competitions. Local competitions are held in February with winners progressing to state competitions and then on to the national level. Mathcounts works to challenge students' math skills，develop selfconfidence and give rewards for their achievements.

Envirothon

The Envirothon program focuses on natural resources knowledge and exposes students to diverse environmental issues，and ecosystems(生態(tài)學(xué))．The ecology field competition for fivemember middle school teams offers competitions in wildlife，soil，forestry，and current environmental issues. Students work and learn in middle school clubs and can compete at the local and state level.

Future Problem Solvers

Future Problem Solvers is an academic club that uses a sixstep process to solve problems that may happen in the future. Students who are in the talented and gifted program，who like to “think out of the box”，or who enjoy thinking about futuristic problems may like this club. Teams made up of four students read future scenes and write up solutions in a booklet using the sixstep process. Teams that score high enough can go to the state competition and then to the international competition.

Builders Club

Builders Club is open to any middle school student who wishes to perform community service. Each Builders Club is cosponsored by a Kiwanis club and a middle school. The members learn by doing，and they learn organization，teamwork，and leadership. Builders Clubs can sponsor a “Teacher of the Year” program，provide a recycling collection point，organize canned food and clothing to support local shelters.

Answer 1

【答案】【1】A

【2】C

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，著重向讀者介紹了幾個(gè)能吸引學(xué)生興趣的學(xué)術(shù)俱樂(lè)部。在這里，學(xué)生能充分展示他們的才能與天賦。

【1】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從第二段Mathcounts Club中的“...It hopes to provide students with the foundation for success in science，technology，engineering...”可知，該俱樂(lè)部希望為學(xué)生在科學(xué)、技術(shù)等方面的成功奠定基礎(chǔ)，所以答案選A項(xiàng)。

【2】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從第四段Future Problem Solvers中的“who enjoy thinking about futuristic problems may like this club”可知，如果學(xué)生對(duì)未來(lái)感興趣，可以參加該俱樂(lè)部，所以答案選C項(xiàng)。

【3】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從第五段Builders Club中的“...learn organization，teamwork，and leadership”可知，該俱樂(lè)部培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的組織、合作和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力，沒(méi)提到競(jìng)賽，而其他三個(gè)俱樂(lè)部都提到了競(jìng)賽。由此可知答案選B項(xiàng)。

【4】邏輯推理題。通讀全文可知，這四個(gè)俱樂(lè)部可以在不同的方面培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的才能，所以exploration of talents是這四個(gè)俱樂(lè)部的共有的特性，答案選D項(xiàng)。
