27、.50）A.whichB.whereC.thatD.thereWould it help you if you could read twice as fast as you read now? How about twenty times as fast, and with better comprehension? The human 1 is capable of seeing and understanding material as fast as one can turn pages, and some people do read 2 fast. John Stuart Mill
28、, Theodore Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy were all 3 fast readers, 4 have been many others. They were what 5 known as gifted readers; those who read very fast with excellent comprehension. Gifted readers come from every walk of life, for reading is a skill not 6 to age, occupation, heredity, or inte
29、lligence. The only reason that you may not read fast now is because your natural gifts may have been smothered in school. The 7 reading is taught in most public schools is the same technique 8 a century ago. 9 , the average American reads at about the same rate today as 100 years ago. Most people re
30、ad 10 100 and 400 words per minute, the national average. But slow readers are severely penalized throughout life and are simply unable to 11 because of the tremendous volume of reading required today. In theory, the only things that should decide reading rate are the student“s background in the sub
31、ject, the purpose for reading the 12 material, and the ability to turn pages. Some readers, tested in difficult textbook material, have read thousands of words per minute with 13 comprehension. That“s over a dozen pages per minute. Yet some of these same super readers 14 to read at the rate of only
32、200 words per minute. So it is certainly possible for the 15 reader to increase his or her reading speed considerably. What limits your reading rate? Poor habits, such as sub vocalization, regression, prolonged fixation, and 16 eye movement. These poor habits cause tired eyes, boredom, low speeds, a
33、nd low comprehension. It is not ability 17 you lack, it is training. Because we are taught to read at 100 to 400 words per minute, we are led to believe this is our “normal rate. “ But these rates are no more normal than 10 or 10000 words per minute. Improving your rate only 18 proper training and t

But, 20 you can get some professional help from a well-trained, rapid reading instructor, there are some positive steps you can take.（分数：20.00）A.mindB.brainC.heartD.senseA.suchB.asC.thatD.muchA.clearly

37、less(A)When doctors need information about what dose of medicine to prescribe, they usually consult a fat blue book called the Physicians“ Desk Reference, or PDR. But the doses recommended in the PDR may be too high for many people and may cause bad reactions, ranging from dizziness (头晕) and nausea(
38、恶心)all the way to death, according to an article published last month in the journal Postgraduate Medicine. For many drugs, smaller doses would work just as well, with far less risk of bad reactions, said the author, Jay Cohen, an associate professor at the University of California. “Side effects dr
39、ive a lot of people out of treatment that they need,“ Dr. Cohen said. “People often gave up trying to treat their illnesses when they found that the cure was worse than the disease. But if doctors were to individualize doses for each patient, more people might take their medicine. “ Dr. Cohen said h
40、e became aware of the problem because he met many patients who suffered from side effects even though they had taken what were supposedly the correct doses of medicine. When Dr. Cohen consulted medical journals and textbooks, he discovered studies showing that many patients were helped by smaller th
41、an usual amounts of medicine. And many of his own patients did better with reduced doses. Dosing guidelines generally tend to be too high because they are based on studies conducted with limited numbers of patients by drug companies when they are seeking approval for new products, Dr. Cohen said. Fo
42、r those studies to run efficiently, doses need to be high enough to show as quickly as possible that the drug works. But later, after the drug is approved, far more people take it, sometimes along with other drugs, and individual differences begin to show up. That information does not always make it
43、 into the PDR, Dr. Cohen said. Dr. Cohen cautioned that patients should not try to change doses of prescription on their own. He said they needed to work with doctors to adjust the doses safely.（分数：10.00）(1).According to Dr. Cohen, many patients gave up their treatment because _.（分数：2.00）A.they foun
44、d no obvious improvement was made after the treatmentB.they thought doctors gave them larger doses than needed for their illnessesC.they could not put up with the strong side effects of the drugsD.they had no confidence in the effectiveness of the drugs(2).“To individualize doses for each patient“ (
45、Para. 3) means _.（分数：2.00）A.doctors prescribe different drugs for patients who have the same illnessB.doctors prescribe different doses of medicine for different patientsC.doctors consult each patient instead of the PDR in their prescriptionD.doctors write a prescription for a patient only for his o
46、wn use(3).Dr. Cohen pointed out in his article that _.（分数：2.00）A.drug doses recommended in the PDR should be revisedB.drug companies should try a new drug on more patientsC.patients should not take their drugs together with other drugsD.lowering drug doses may cut the side effects of drugs(4).In ord
47、er to seek approval for their new products, drug companies _.（分数：2.00）A.only choose those patients for tests who react to the drugs wellB.recommend higher doses which can show the drugs quick effectivenessC.exaggerate the usefulness of the drugs which they actually don“t haveD.provide data about the
48、 drugs which are false and misleading(5).To reduce the side effects of medicine, a patient had better _.（分数：2.00）A.consult the doctor to adjust the doses safelyB.stop taking the drug for a period of timeC.change to a drug that has no side effectsD.try a new treatment that is better for him(B)Someday
49、 in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don“t need to carry any money? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small plastic credit card (信用卡). We will use it to buy all the things we now buy with money. We will not need money to pay for things. Of course
