14、d by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and write down the corresponding letter./BBPassage One/BNearly all “speed reading“ courses have a “pacing“ elementsome timing device which lets the student know how many words a minut
15、e he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting clown the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy readin
16、g the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should so
17、on notice your accustomed w. p. m. rate creeping up.Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter (if you are reading a novel) or every section o
18、r group of ten or twelve pages (if it is a text-book) and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember dearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter.You can also try “lightning speed“ exe
19、rcise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your “normal“ w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can
20、 comfortably understand. After a “lightning speed“ reading through (probably 600 w. p. m.) you will usually find that your “normal“ speed has increasedperhaps by as much as 50- 100 w. p. m. This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the da

Nicks little adventure happened sooner than he had expected!While he was on the bus, reading his newspaper, the man sitting next to him suddenly pushed a large brown envelope in his hands. “Here, take this!“ he murmured. Then he stood up and got off the bus before Nick cou
26、ld say a word.Nick sat There holding the envelope. It felt heavy. There were papers inside, or money perhaps. “Id better hand it over to the police.“ He thought. There was a police station close to his office. But as he got off the bus, a man came up to him. He was obviously waiting for something. “
27、He wants the envelope.“ Nick thought. Nick began to walk quickly and the man hurried after him. Nick started to run and the man began to run, too. But then, just before he go to the police station, Nick managed to lose the man in the crowds when he entered the police station, the man was no longer i
28、n sight.Inside the police station, the envelope was full of moneyfalse money. “Obviously the man made a mistake.“ the inspector said, “He thought you was one of the gang! Well congratulations!“Nick felt like a hero. He could already see his name in all the paper. He could imagine an interview on tel
29、evision !“However,“ the inspector went on, interrupting Nicks daydreams. “Im afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about this. Were trying to catch some very clever thieves, and we dont want them to know that we have some of the money. So you mustnt say a word to anyoneeven your boss! Sorry!“So thats
30、that!“ Nick said to himself on his way to the office. He was over an hour late. “Ive had my little adventure, but I cant tell anyone about it. So whats the point?

Many Mormons lived in the state of Illinois, but they had been badly treated and fin
33、ally were forced to leave.As the Mormons travelled through the desert, they became discouraged. Then they saw a strange tree. The trees branches stretched out like arms. The Mormons thought the tree looked like Joshua, a hero from the Bible. The Mormons thought the arms of the tree were telling them
34、 to continue on their way; so they did.They found a new home in what is now the state of Utah. In Utah they saw trees like the one in the desert. They called them “Joshua trees.“The Joshua tree was very useful. The Native Americans of the West used almost all its parts. They ate not only the fruit o
35、f the tree, but also its seeds and white blossoms. They used its leaves for shoes. From its roots they made baskets and got colours for their clothes.Settlers in the West used the Joshua tree for firewood and fences. Unfortunately, they often needed to cut down the trees. Some of the trees were as t
36、all as 50 feet (15.6 metres). These trees were 700 or 800 years old. The Joshua tree grows very slowly. It grows only about one inch (2.54 centimetres) a year.By the beginning of the 1900s, most Joshua trees had been cut down. People were sad that this strange tree had almost disappeared. In 1936, t
37、he Joshua Tree National Park was established in California. It has many kinds of interesting desert plants, including, of course, many Joshua trees. None of these Joshua trees are 50 feet. But perhaps some day they will be.（分数：12.00）(1).From the first paragraph we can get to know that _ .（分数：3.00）A.

41、he treeB.save some valuable plantsC.teach their children a lessonD.get more money for itBPassage Four/BAlthough there may be thousands of different kinds of jobs, as I see it there are basically only two kinds of work. One is the sort that in the main is done for its own sake. It has little to do wi
42、th bosses, or clerks or wages and it usually proves rewarding in itself. The other sort is normally done in return for a weekly wages in factories, on building sites or down in mines.A research scientist may find his income quite a lot for doing what he would do anyway even if he were rich. Others g
43、rumble. But could you find such a person who has never grumbled all his life?The worst things of all is having a job where there are no consolations whatever. A factory worker says, “For eight hours a day, five days a week. Im the exception to the rule. That life cant exist in a vacuum. Work to me i
44、s a great loss, and I begrude (吝啬) every precious minute of my time that it takes.“ Another man says, “I have little other interest in the job than getting money on Friday and getting out of the building as fast as I can.“An office clerk may say, “An office clerk produces nothing. He runs a paper ch
45、ase which goes on from year to year, and seems completely pointless.

And every time my
46、cheque arrives Im glad. Im not as little as the girl who works the machine that puts the bean in the tin.“What are we working for anyway? Money.
