第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

If you are a student who wants to get high grades while spending less time working for them, then the book, How to Become a Straight-A Student, is one you should read. You definitely do have to work hard, but the book tells you where and how to spend your energy working to get those high grades, while also having time left over for sleep and entertainment.

The book, written by Cal Newport, is oboviously specifically written for high school students. It is divided into three parts. The first part addresses “Study Basics”, in which Newport outlines the benefits and methods of time management and study tips. In the second part about “Quizes and Exams”, he outlines how to take notes and then use them well for studying. He also provides hints for taking tests and exams. The third part is about case studies of his recommendations in action, in which you can read about the learning experiences of some top students.

Most of the information that he provides in the book is based on the experience of real students who got excellent grades in high school. According to Newport, these A-level students also had plenty of time for other activities such as partying, sleeping and other interests, because they had learned to study more efficiently than other students who spent most of their time studying hard in an attempt to get good grades.

I really like the layout (编排). The three parts of the book cover the areas that students need to be most concerned with. I feel that the book would be very helpful to a large number of students.

I do not think that every piece of information in the book will work for all students or even needs to be followed by every student. However, it is an excellent place to start if you are just beginning your high school life or if you have already started but are finding yourself falling behind.

56. What do we know about Cal Newport’s book?

A. It combines learning tips and real examples.

B. It is mainly about how to arrange one’s ti
