8、(总题数：1，分数：30.00)Methods of studying vary; what works (21) for some students doesnt work at all for others. The only thing you can do is experiment (22) you find a system that does work for you. But two things are sure: (23) else can do your studying for you, and unless you do find a system that work
9、s, you wont although college. Meantime, there are a few rules that (24) for everybody. The hint is “dont get (25) “.The problem of studying, (26) enough to start with, (27) the fastest readers have trouble to do that. And if you axe behind in written work that must be (28) , the teacher who accepts
10、it (29) late will probably not give you good credit. Perhaps he may not accept it (30) . Getting behind in one class because you are spending so much time on another is really no solution.

(34) the reason, going the whole work for o

16、lementsome timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute 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
17、 do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy reading 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 day
18、s, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon 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 spee
19、d, stop after every chapter (if you are reading a novel) or every section or 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
20、 said, reread the section or chapter.You can also try “lightning speed“ exercise 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
21、 what you feel to be your “normal“ w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can 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
22、 when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the passage, a “pacing“ device _ .A. is used to time a students reading speedB. is not used in most, speed reading coursesC. is used as an aid to vocabulary learningD. should be us
23、ed whenever we read alone（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes _ .A. avoids the need for reading fasterB. is not the same as pacingC. may seem unworkable at firstD. helps you to remember your page number（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).When you are reading a novel, y
24、ou should check your understanding of the content after _ .A. every chapter B. every sectionC. every four or five pages D. every ten or twelve pages（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The purpose of the “lightning speed“ exercise is to _ .A. increase your speed by scanning the text firstB. test your maximum readin
25、g speedC. help you understand more of the content of the bookD. enable you to win reading races against your friends（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The best title for this passage would be _ .A. Hints for Successful Reading B. Hints for Speed ReadingC. Effective Reading D. Lightning Speed Exercises（分数：3.00）A.B
26、.C.D.Your mind like your body is a thing where the powers are developed by effort. This is a principal use, as I see it, of hard work in studies. Unless you train your body you cant be a good sportsman, and unless you train your mind you cant be much of a scholar. The four mi- les a boatman covers a
27、t top speed is in itself nothing to the good, but the physical capacity to hold out over the distance is thought to be of some value. So a good part of what you learn by hard study may not be retained forever, and may not seem to be of much final value, but your mind is a better and more powerful in
28、strument because you have learned it. “Knowledge is power,“ but still more the ability of acquiring and using knowledge is power. If you have a trained and powerful mind, you are bound to have stored it with something, its value is more in what it can do, what it can grasp and use, than in what it c
29、ontains; and if it were possible, as it is not, to come out of college with a trained mind and nothing useful in it, you would still be ahead, and still, in a manner, educated.（分数：12.00）(1).The title that best expresses the main idea of this passage is _.A.

31、 to win the raceD. it is important to have physical training while one trains his mind（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The author emphasizes that many of the facts you acquire by hard study _.A. deal with rules of health B. will be forgottenC. are of no value D. will be very useful（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The man l
32、eaving college with a trained mind _.A. is certain to succeedB. is successful in his studiesC. is considered an educated personD. can grasp any problem（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.For some time after the Spanish won Granada from the Moors, Spanish kings enjoyed visiting that delightful city. After many years, h
33、owever, they were frightened away by a series of earthquakes, during which several houses fell to the ground, and the old towers shook to their foundations.After that, many years passed without visits from royal guests. The noble palaces of Granada remained silent and closed, and that loveliest of p
34、alaces, the Alhambra, lay sadly alone with no one to care for its beautiful gardens. People no longer visited the tower where once three beautiful Moorish princesses had lived. Only birds and insects found their way to those tower rooms which had once been the home of the kings lovely daughters. Zay
35、da, Zorayda, and Zorahayda. It was said that the spirit of the youthful princess Zorahayda, who had died in that tower, was often seen by moonlight, seated beside the fountain in the hall, or weeping beside the high stone wall. It was said that the music of her silver lute could be heard at midnight
36、 by travelers passing along the road.After many years, the city of Granada was honored once again by royal guests.

37、 repaired and made ready, with all possible speed, when the king and queen arrived with all the lords and ladies of their court, there was a great change in the lonely palace. Drums and roy- al music were heard, fine horses were ridden about the avenues and inner court, brightly colored flags again
38、were flown above the ancient walls. Inside the palace, however, life was quiet and calm. There was the soft sound of long robes, and the careful steps and murmuring voices of those who respectfully served the king and queen. In the gardens there was soft music, and there was quiet talk among the you
39、ng lords and ladies of the court.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, which is not true during the earthquake?A. Several houses fell to the ground.B. The old tower shook to their foundations.C.

42、rahayda or Isabella D. Elizabeth or Isabella（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.About one million years ago, the Ice Age began. The Ice Age was a long period of time in which four great glaciers pushed southward to cover almost all the upper half of North America, and then melted away. Each glacier was a thick sheet o
43、f ice and snow that spread out from a centre near what is now Hudson Bay in Canada. The winters were long, and the cool summers were too short to melt much of the ice and snow. The ever-growing sheet built up to a thickness of two miles at its centre.As all glaciers do, these great glaciers slid. Th
44、ey pushed down giant trees in their paths and scraped the earth bare of soil. Many animals moved farther south to escape. Others stayed and were destroyed.When winters of little snow came, the summer sun cut into the edges of the ice sheets. As the glaciers melted, rocks, soil and other things that
45、had mixed with the ice and snow were left. New hills, lakes and rivers were formed.The last of the great glaciers began its melting about 11,000 years ago. Its melting formed the Great Lakes, These lakes are today little changed from their early sizes and shapes. The largest of the North American ri
46、ver systems was also influenced by the glaciers. This is the Mississippi-Missouri Ohio system. These rivers were miles wide at first. Through the years they settled into their present channels.（分数：12.00）(1).The main idea of this passage is _.A. the Ice Age was a long period of timeB. great glaciers

If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale, you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbour and some to the manager of the local supermarket.
