32、上，59-75小题答案写在答题纸上)A A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapi

33、dly than a physics or economics book-but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gain will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with. Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among nati

34、ve English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A. for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example Tolstoys War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250w.p.m, wi

35、th about 70% comprehension. Minnesota claims that after 12 half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around 500 w.p.m. Its further claimed that with intensive training over seventeen weeks, speeds of over 1000 w.p.m. can he reached, but thi

36、s would be quite exceptional. If you get to the point where you can read books of average difficulty at between 400 and 500 w.p.m, with 70% or more comprehension, you will be doing quite well, though of course any further improvement of speed-with-comprehension will be a good thing. Questions 56-58:

37、 Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D according to the passage. 56. A higher reading rate will help in other subjects as well as English _ A. provided there is no loss of understanding B. only if we memorize well C. but not in any other language D. though not as a general principle 57.

38、age untrained native speaker at the University of Minnesota A. reads at about 245 w.p.m. B. reads at about 300 w.p.m. C. reads at 450 w.p.m. D. reads at 600 w.p.m. 58. The University of Minnesota claims that 12 half-hour lessons A. can increase a students reading speed three times B. can double a st

39、udents reading speed C. can increase a students reading speed four times D. bring no real increase in reading speed Questions 59-60: Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage. 59. You would expect to read a difficult physics book as fast as you read a

40、 newspaper. 60. Intensive training over seventeen weeks may increase a students reading speed four times. B Do you blank out, freeze up or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just the night before? (61) _ But, dont panic. By knowing the problem,

41、you are taking the first step towards overcoming it. Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. (62)_ However. too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite (食欲) before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel sh

42、aky, hot or even sick. If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. (63) _When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what youre doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to STOP! This will get your mind off the st

43、ress. Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. (64)_ This will help restore your confidence. Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities. (65)_ After all, good stud habits and skills for example, time managem

44、ent and note-taking-will give you the feeling that you are in control.Questions 61-65: Choose from the sentences A-G to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. A. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. B. Talk

45、 to yourself using positive language. C. Last but not least, start test preparation early three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. D. If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety. E.

Be careful, thoug

47、h. In general, the most expensive items come in the fanciest packages.You can be a smart shopper by choosing for value, not for looks. Choose generic (普通的，无注册商标的) products. These products dont have brand names, and they usually come in the plainest packages. Generic products offer the best value and

48、 the lowest prices. Be smart by buying the largest amount of a product. Almost always, youll pay less if you buy items by the pound or kilogram-the unit price will be lower for larger sizes than for smaller ones. And large sizes last longer, so youll save money by shopping less.Its wise to buy food

49、in bulk (散装) whenever you can. That means buying foods that are unpackaged. Unpackaged items are usually cheaper. You can also buy the exact amount that you need, so theres no waste.

52、o the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished （区分）by the term education. The ideals and practices of child rearing (养育) vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural t

53、he community, the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing. Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate (天生的 ) abilities

54、 of the child. Parents can ascertain what is normal in physical, mental and social development, by referring to some of the many books based on scientific knowledge in these areas, or. Less reliably, since the sample is smaller, by comparing notes with friends and relatives who have children. Intell

55、igent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique. and there can be no general rules. They use general information only as a guide in making decisions and solving problems.All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline 符合行为准则的行为). The younger the

56、child, the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her childs continuing development may be warped (扭曲).

57、 go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and hooks. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.Questions 71-75: Please .complete the summary of the passage above with only one word for each blank.A childs later character is (71)_decided by hi
