　　Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their school，it is not surprising that such students often have little good to say about their school experience. In one study of 400 adults who had achieved distinction in all areas of life，researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows，winners of the MacArthur Award for creative accomplishment，had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs. Anecdotal（名人轶事）reports support this. Pablo Picasso，Charles Darwin，Mark Twain，Oliver Gold Smith，and William Butler Yeats all disliked school. So did Winston Churchill，who almost failed out of Harrow，an elite British school. About Oliver Goldsmith，one of his teachers remarketed， ”Never was so dull a body.” Often these children realize that they know more than their teachers，and their teachers often feel that these children are arrogant，inattentive，or unmotivated.
　　Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because their gifts were not scholastic. Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way. But most fared poorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they found school unchallenging and consequently lost interest. Yeats described the lack of fit between his mind and school：“because I had found it difficult to attend to anything less interesting than my own thoughts，I was difficult to teach.”As noted earlier，gifted children of all kinds tend to be strong –willed nonconformists. Nonconformity and stubbornness（and Yeats’s level of arrogance and self-absorption）are likely to lead to conflicts with teachers.
　　When highly gifted students in any domain talk about what was important to the development of their abilities，they are far more likely to mention their families than their schools or teachers. A writing prodigy（神童）studied by David Feldman and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writing by his journalist father than his English teacher. High-IQ children，in Australia studied by Miraca Gross had much more positive feelings about their families than their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little good to say about school. They all did well in school and took honors when available，and some skipped grades.

6.选B。主旨题。此题目考查考生对全文中心内容的把握。通过浏览全文可知，天才儿童之所以不喜欢学校的原因在于他们比老师懂的多，他们发现学校根本没有挑战性，激不起他们的兴趣。这样的意思在首段首句中就以开门见山的方式提了出来：thelackoffitbetweengiftedstudentsandtheirschool,lack=incapableof,fit=caterto，故B项为正确答案。
7.选A。例证题。实际上只要记住任何例子都是为观点服务这一逻辑，就可以轻松答对这道题目。也可根据题干中的专有名字（人名）回文定位地一段，确定出处信息是一个例子，证明对象是第一段的Anecdotalreportssupportthis(lackoffit).。B、C和D选项都是就例子说例子，太字面化了，故排除。
8.选C。例证题。可根据题干中的专有名词（人名）可回文定位到第二段第二句（MaybewecanaccountforPicassointhisway），确定出处信息是一个例子，例子证明的对象通常在例子的前面。所以答案应该是第二段首句（Someofthesegiftedpeoplemayhavedonepoorlyinschool），恰好吻合C项表达（couldnotcopewiththeirstudiesatschoolsuccessfully），故C为正确选项。A和B选项的内容在文章中没有提到，属于无中生有的错误。D选项来自首段末句，但这只是老师的感觉，并不是这些学生在老师面前真得如此，而且stubborn的意思也没有提到。
9.选A。细节题。根据题目排序和题干意思可回文定位到文中第三段的首句(theyarefarmorelikelytomentiontheirfamiliesthantheirschoolsorteachers.)，完全对应A项表达（attributedtheirsuccessmainlytoparentalhelpandtheireducationathome），故A正确。B项没有对学校教育和家庭教育两者进行对比，与第三段的首句意思不符。C项中用parents’encouragement替换了父母的教育和帮助，属于偷换概念的错误。D选项systematiceducation和talent文中都没有提到，属于无中生有的错误。
10.选C。细节题。根据题干信息（havingbadmemoriesoftheirschoolyears）可以回文定位到第二段第三句（Butmostfaredpoorly…becausetheyfoundschoolunchallengingandconsequentlylostinterest.）,此句的unchallenging和C项中的failedtoinspireormotivatethem是近义表达，故C为正确选项。A选项来自第二段末句，但说不循规蹈矩给他们带来了很多麻烦则推理过度了，并且这是表面原因，不是问题中所问的“rootcause”.B和D选项的内容在文章中没有提到，属于无中生有的错误。

A。由题意，大李和小王“同意”调动的前提是知道对方是否调动，显然他们都不可能知道对方是否调动，因此他们也不会愿意调动。再根据总编的决定“未经本人同意，将不调动两人”可知，两人不可能调动。
