Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the

8、best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 Nearly all “speed reading“ courses have a “pacing“ elementsome timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your

9、 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 reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can

10、 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 soon notice your accustomed w. p. m. rate creeping up.Obviou

11、sly 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 or group of ten or twelve pages (if it is a text-book) and

12、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“ exercise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the ge

13、neral 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 comfortably understand. After a “lightning speed“ reading

14、 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 day of the big race.21 According to the passage, a “pacing“

15、device _ .（A）is used to time a students reading speed（B） is not used in most, speed reading courses（C） is used as an aid to vocabulary learning（D）should be used whenever we read alone 22 In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes _ .（A）avoids the need for reading faster（B） is not

16、the same as pacing（C） may seem unworkable at first（D）helps you to remember your page number 23 When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after _ .（A）every chapter（B） every section（C） every four or five pages（D）every ten or twelve pages 24 The purpose of the “li

17、ghtning speed“ exercise is to _ .（A）increase your speed by scanning the text first（B） test your maximum reading speed（C） help you understand more of the content of the book（D）enable you to win reading races against your friends 25 The best title for this passage would be _ .（A）Hints for Successful R

18、eading（B） Hints for Speed Reading（C） Effective Reading（D）Lightning Speed Exercises 25 Nick was tired of life. Every day was exactly the same.“What I need is a little adventure!“ Nick thought as he waited at the bus stop one morning. Nicks little adventure happened sooner than he had expected!While h

19、e 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 could say a word.Nick sat There holding the envelope. It felt heavy. There were papers inside, or

20、 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. “He wants the envelope.“ Nick thought. Nick began to walk quickly and the man hurried after him

21、. 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 in sight.Inside the police station, the envelope was full of moneyfalse money. “Obviously the m

22、an 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 television !“However,“ the inspector went on, interrupting Nicks daydreams. “Im afraid I must ask

23、 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 that!“ Nick said to himself on his way to the office. He was over an hour late. “Ive had my li

24、ttle adventure, but I cant tell anyone about it. So whats the point?

26、he Mormons (摩门教信徒), who are a religious group, travelled west searching for a new home. Many Mormons lived in the state of Illinois, but they had been badly treated and finally were forced to leave.As the Mormons travelled through the desert, they became discouraged. Then they saw a strange tree. Th

27、e 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 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 o

28、ne 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 of the tree, but also its seeds and white blossoms. They used its leaves for shoes. From its roots they made baskets and got colo

29、urs 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 tall 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

30、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, the Joshua Tree National Park was established in California. It has many kinds of interesting desert plants, including, of course

31、, many Joshua trees. None of these Joshua trees are 50 feet. But perhaps some day they will be. 30 From the first paragraph we can get to know that _ .（A）the Mormons were hated by the American government（B） the Mormons were the native Americans（C） the Mormons were cleverer than the other Americans（D

33、re hadnt been the Joshua tree, the native Americans would have died out 32 Settlers in the west used the Joshua tree for firewood and fences because _ .（A）they thought the tree was useless（B） they thought the tree was going to die（C） they had changed their belief（D）they had no other ways to deal wit

34、h their problems 33 In the thirties of twentieth century, people established the Joshua Tree National Park in order to _ .（A）get more food from the tree（B） save some valuable plants（C） teach their children a lesson（D）get more money for it 33 Although there may be thousands of different kinds of jobs

35、, 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 with 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 s

36、ites 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 grumble. 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

37、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 is 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

38、 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 chase which goes on from year to year, and seems completely pointless. How can there be anything but boredom in it for him?“An advertising copy-writer, guilty of e

39、arning so much just for writing the ads, says, “Every time Im asked to write the lable for a tin of beans I feel absurd. And every time my 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. Nothing else.If

40、your work is not what you fancy, if you have no interest in it, then the work is a bore. Dont you agree?34 The writer seems to feel that _ .（A）we mustnt do the kind of work giving us no interest（B） we should work just for money（C） all of us should grumble about our work and wages（D）most people have

43、g at all（D）is satisfied with his wage 37 It was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labour. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to raise their families. While women cooked the meals, there was not much opportunity for men or women to exchange their roles.

44、 But by the middle of this century, mens and womens roles were becoming less firmly fixed.In the 1950s, economic and social success was the aim of the typical American. But in the 1960s a new force called the counterculture (反主流文化 ) developed. The people involved in this movement did not value the m

45、iddle-class American goals. The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices. Taking more interest in child care, men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives. Actually some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and child care responsibili

46、ties were shared equally by both sexes. In addition, many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier. Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam.In terms of numbers, the counterculture was not a very large groups of people. But its influence spr

47、ead to many parts of American society. Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns. Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on “overtime“ work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families. Some doctors, lawyers, and teachers turne

48、d away from high paying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.In the 1970s, the feminist movement, or womens liberation, produced additional economic and social changes. Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers. Most of

49、 them still took traditional womens jobs such as public school teaching, nursing, and secretarial work. But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations: police work, banking dentistry, and construction work. Women were asking for equal work, and equal opportunities for promotion.Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men a
