22、nsionDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Nearly all speed reading courses have a

23、 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 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 rea

24、ding. 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 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

25、 four days, 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 re

26、ading 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 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 o

27、f 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 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 rea

28、d 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 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

29、use when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race. 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 used whenever w

Of all the achievements of American engineering

33、, only the landing on the moon and the planting there of a wrinkled flag can rival the construction of Panama Canal as an epoch-making accomplishment. The Suez Canal, the trans-Siberian Railroad and the Taj Mahal all pale beside it. The canals construction is more closely akin to the pyramids of Egy

34、pt in its scope and difficulty of execution, but in the modern era, there is only the moon. Like the landing on the moon, the construction of a canal across the narrow Isthmus of Panama was a dream long before it became reality. As early as 1534, Charles I of Spain proposed a canal at Panama, but it

35、 would take nearly 400 years for builders to catch up with his imagination. When the canal finally was proposed required all the creativity the twentieth century could muster. It was the largest public work ever attempted. Its engineers had to control a wild river, cut the continental divide, constr

36、uct the largest dam and man made lake known to that date and swing the largest locks ever constructed from the biggest cement structures then poured. Along the way, two of the worlds most devastating diseases had to be wiped out in one of their greatest strongholds. And all of this was to be done wi

37、thout the airplane or the automobile: Kitty Hawk rose into the head-lines in 1903the same year the U. S. signed a treaty with Panamaand there was no read across the isthmus until the World War . If Panama has had an unusual role in bygone dreams, it most certainly has a startling relationship to the

38、 hard facts of geography. The country is farther east than most people imaginethe canal and about half of Panama actually lie east of Miami. Because of the countrys shallow S shape and east-west orientation, it has places where the sun rises in the Pacific and sets in the Atlantic. More significantl

39、y, Panama is squeezed into the narrowest portion of Central. At the canal, just 43 miles of land separate Atlantic and Pacific shores. Perhaps even more important, Panama offers the lowest point in the North American continental divideoriginally 312 feet above sea level at the canals Culebra Cut. By

40、 comparison, the lowest pass in the United States is nearly 5,000 feet. 1.

Which of these statements is true?A.About half of Panama lies east of Miami.B.Panama is squeezed into the narrowest portion

42、of Central America.C.Panama offers the lowest point in the North American continental divide.D.All of the above are true.答案:D Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistak

43、e. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the look-say or whole-word method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively. The whole-word approach to reading stresses t

44、he meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the serf-directed, learning how to learn activities recommended by advocates of open c

45、lassrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these Run- Spot-Run readers. However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called the great debate in beginning reading. In his best-seller

46、 Why Johnny Cant Read, Flesch indicted(控诉)the nations public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said-and mere scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed-that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics(声学), is far superior. Syste

47、matic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast

48、majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step. 1. The author feels that counting on educators to teach

49、reading correctly is _ .A.only logical and naturalB.the expected positionC.probably a mistakeD.merely effective instruction答案:C2. The author indicts the look-say reading approach because _ .A.it overlooks decodingB.Rudolf Flesch agrees with himC.he says it is boringD.many schools continue to use thi

50、s method答案:A3. One major difference between the look-say method of learning reading and the phonies method is _ .A.look-say is simplerB.Phonics takes longer to learnC.look-say is easier to teachD.phonics gives readers access to far more words答案:D4. The phrase touch-off (Para 3, Line 1) most probably

51、 means _ .A.talk about shortlyB.start or causeC.compare withD.oppose答案:B Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span. I think we are knock

52、ing at the door of immortality (永生), said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. I think by 2075 we will see it and thats a conservative estimate (保守的估计). At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical

53、 School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely that humans will bye in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years, he said. Some have suggested that there is no limit and th

54、at people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years. However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally le

55、ad all humans to death. Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life? said Leonard Pooh, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology. Centre. At present people wh

56、o could get to that point are not in good health at all. 1. By saying we are knocking at the door of immortality, Michael Zey means_.A.they believe that there is no limit of livingB.they are sure to find the truth about long livingC.they have got some ideas about living foreverD.they are able to make people live past the present life span答案:C解题指要 这个小题考查
