THE WAY TO READ FAST
Perhaps you have been told about some habits(习惯) which stop a person reading fast、and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.
Do you still have any of these bad habits7 Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to
these questions:
1. Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently?
2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
3. Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
4. Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.
If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading.
If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand, and hold your head still(不动地,静止地).
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(看一眼) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
小题1:You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading       
A.to hold a piece of paper between them
B.to stop yourself talking to others
C.to tell others to be silent
D.to feel whether y our lips move or not
小题2:When your eyes travel across the lines of words,        
A.you need to read the words out
B.you need to look at every word carefully
C.you need to read several words at a time
D.you need to remember every word
小题3:When you read,        
A.don’t use your finger to point to words
B.don’t hold your books with your hands
C.don’t hold your head still
D.don’t do any of the things mentioned(提到)above.

核心考点
试题【THE WAY TO READ FASTPerhaps you have been told about some habits(习惯) which stop 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Are you a team person? Are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.
High technology, some predicted, would make team work a thing of the past. That’s happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.
But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration. Through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations---often thousands of miles apart---can work on the same project at once. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results.
Examples? An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system, a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory before it is built. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. A medical team can simulate (模拟) a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.
Of course, computer–assisted team effort doesn’t end with investigation and simulation. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. “Computer–aided design (CAD) and computer–aided manufacture (CAM) are breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,” explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric. “Interdisciplinary teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network.”
Sometimes a computer–aided effort can extend beyond production. A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depth. For high–technology team work, the future seems limitless.
小题1:The underlined part “hold more” most probably means to          .
A.maintain more chancesB.give more rights
C.make more regulationsD.store more information
小题2:According to the passage, the writer believes that         .
A.teamwork requires more use of computers than that of human beings
B.teamwork will be completely replaced by computers
C.the concept of teamwork is still alive and no longer the same as the past
D.high technology would make teamwork a thing of the past
小题3:The examples given by the writer in Paragraph 4 serve           .
A.to prove high technology has a promising future
B.to explain his idea of new type of teamwork is reasonable
C.to show that it tends to be an end to teamwork soon
D.to indicate the computer—assisted team effort just means investigation and simulation.
小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Many fields of science and technology are now using computers effectively.
B.No details are given in the passage about barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions.
C.Experts from different fields have to cooperate to develop a product from concept to production.
D.High technology is nothing but a new type of teamwork plus CAD and CAM.
小题5:The author’s attitude to towards the introduction of the computer to teamwork is of         .
A.objectionB.indifferenceC.supportD.doubt

Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐)and the homeless(people without homes).
Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves.
The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “for the first time I feel respected”.
Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to help them.”
Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.
They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.
“I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group. “And Christmas is a good time for that.”
小题1:What does Christmas Eve mean to the 14 Tsinghua students?
A.Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua.
B.Getting together with friends.
C.Showing care to the beggars and the homeless.
D.Selling bread and gloves to the beggars.
小题2:What does the beggar mean by saying “for the first time I feel respected”?
A.The beggar has been waiting for Cai for long.
B.The beggar hasn’t been shown care for so long.
C.The beggar has been respecting Cai for a long time.
D.This is the first time the beggar has seen Tsinghua students.
小题3:What did each beggar feel when they received greetings?
A.Sad.B.Amazed.
C.Frightened.D.Proud.
小题4:The word “neglected” in the last passage means _______.
A.protectedB.found
C.taken care ofD.given no enough care

There were times it was only schoolchildren who felt sick before they got their grades. But now teachers in Germany are scared, too, as they are being graded by their students.
Many teachers are opposed to it. They don’t mind being evaluated(评价). But they are upset because the results are then being posted on the Internet and accessible to millions of Internet users. On the website www.spickmich.deduring the past four months students have posted evaluation of 100,000 teachers.
The teachers are graded on categories such as “motivated”, “good instruction”, “easy examinations”, or even “sexy”. Many teachers think that their privacy has been violated.
The creators of the website say that the students are only being offered the chance to provide teachers with some feedback about their classroom instruction. Bernd Dicks, who founded the website with three friends, says that the students are largely quite satisfied with their teachers. On a grading scale of one to six, the teachers’ average grade is 2.7 and it has been improving lately. He often says the impression is that students are bullying(威吓) their teachers. But there is also bullying of the students by teachers.
“Teachers must also learn to live with criticism,” he added. But still, the website is not totally immune from manipulation(操纵), as one teacher near the northern city of Hanover recently proved. He registered himself on the website as a student and then rated his own teaching colleagues highly. Within a few days, seven of his colleagues were listed in the top 10 ranking of Germany’s best teachers.
小题1:Many teachers are opposed to the website because_____.
A.their privacy has been violatedB.they are afraid of being assessed
C.their evaluations are unfairD.the results are not satisfying
小题2:We can infer that the founder of the website intended to _____.
A.get the students to know their teachers better
B.conduct a survey on teachers’ performance
C.help the teachers to improve their teaching
D.change the teachers’ ways of giving instructions
小题3:From what the teacher in Hanover did, we can infer _____.
A.he intended to help his colleague
B.there was some disadvantage of the website
C.his colleagues were more popular than him
D.he wanted to know how he was evaluated

Every year in the first week of English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless homework requires it. They find the writing process painful and difficult.
How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it, especially with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in an enormous mansion and never leaving one small room. When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know, as a teacher my duty is to show them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance(增强)the moral and emotional development of my students.
One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.
Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice daily. I often see a rise in student confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing.
Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and emotional lives. They build skills so that some say they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation(法规), or the perfect love letter. That they write in their journals every day puts them a step closer to fluency, eloquence(雄辩)and command of the language.
小题1:What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage students to keep a journal every day.
B.To analyze students’ problems in learning languages.
C.To stress the importance of writing in language learning.
D.To introduce an effective way of improving students’ writing.
小题2:The underlined phrase “an enormous mansion” in Paragraph 2 refers to students’       .
A.writing opportunityB.large house
C.large vocabularyD.emotional life
小题3:In the author’s view, what can students benefit from the journal writing?
A.It is beneficial to students’ future career.
B.It can make students more emotional.
C.It is helpful to students’ homework.
D.It can enlarge students’ vocabulary.
