What is the right method? The 40 is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not 41 or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever 42 to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you 43 understand. Read through the difficult 44 ,and you soon come to things that you do understand. Read these 45 .You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that 46 you to have read the book through once 47 .
What you understand by reading the book through to the 48 will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not 49 in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding 50 of it, which will happen 51 you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to 52 the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the 53 of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another 54 for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only 55 our reading, instead of helping it.

答案
解析
37.D 上文指出“but that was not the mistake.”即试图读难书不是错误,错在一开始对读难书的期望太高。expect意为“期盼,预料,期望”,所以选D项。
38.B 文章第一句“Everyone has experienced trying,but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one" s understanding.”就有暗示。
39.A 分析一下句子成分,这是一个含有条件状语从句的主从复合句。从句是If you read it in the right way“如果读难书方法正确”,主句是no book written for the 39 reader,no matter how difficult,need be a cause for despair(令人失望).主句的主语是no book,谓语是need be,a cause for despair是表语。written for the 39 reader是定语修饰book,no matter how difficult是状语。分析完句子成分,我们不难理解此句意为:“如果读难书方法正确,不管书有多难,没有一本为普通的读者所写的书会令人失望。”A项ordinary 意为“普通的,平常的”,B项意为“年轻的”,C项意为“严肃的,不开玩笑的”,D项意为“真诚的”。只有A项符合句意,所以选A项。
40.C 因为前一句What is the right method?是特殊疑问句,所以此处应为answer(答案)。
41.B 由either...or是平行结构推出not 与后面的often forgotten是同义,所以此空应填known。
42.C 此处语意是:“当第一次读难书时,要一次读完,不要停下来思考那些你不能马上理解的东西。”下一段的第一句也有暗示。
43.A 上一段最后一句“That rule is simply this:when reading a difficult book for the first time,read it through without ever stopping to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.”有暗示。此处同时考查情态动词,强调能力用can"t。
44.C 此处句意为:“读完难的部分,那么你很快就到了你能理解的地方。”下一段最后一句“if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.”也有暗示。
45.D 由下一句“You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again”推出此处应为认真阅读。
46.A 这句话的意思是:“当你再读一遍时你将会有机会对整本书有更好的理解,但那就要求你先通读一遍这篇文章。”require sb. to do sth.意为“要求某人做某事”。
47.C 从文中不定式的完成式可以推出,书已看完,所以应是在此之前看,即在read it again 之前先通读一遍这篇文章,所以选C项。
48.B 由read the book through(读完这本书)推出此处应为to the end从头到尾通读一遍这本书。
49.D 此处句意为:“从头到尾通读一遍这本书所理解的东西将对你以后再读你第一次没看懂的地方很有帮助”,所以选D项。
50.C 由much better than说明前面understanding half of it要比后面understanding 50.C of it强多了,即能理解一半要比一点不懂强多了,nothing最符合题意,所以选C项。
51.A 句意为:“如果你让自己在第一次读到难的地方就停下来,那你将会一无所知。”which指代前面understanding nothing of it。由主句...will happen推出这里应是条件状语从句,所以应该填if。
52.D 此处句意是:“我们被教要思考那些我们不懂的东西。”put away意为“处理,收拾起来,把(钱等)留存起来”;put down 意为“放下,使(乘客等)下(车)”;think of 侧重于“想到,想起”;think about侧重于“思考,考虑,熟虑,研讨”,所以选D项。
53.B 对不熟悉词,我们自然要查出它的意思,所以选B项。
54.C 此处句意是:“我们被告知要查出不熟悉词的意思,并且对那些在我们正读的书上看不懂的东西要在另外一本书上找到解释。”in the book we were reading 与in another book结构相对应,所以选C项。
55.A 由连词but和后面的短语instead of helping it推出这里应该是贬义词,所以填harm“伤害,对……有害”。D项prevent的结构是prevent sb. from doing sth.,与本句our reading结构不符合,所以选A项。

试题【Everyone has experienced trying, but failing to master a difficult book that was】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
China offers variety choices for visitors. If you are interested in Chinese history, Chinese culture and Chinese scenery, your trip will be very fulfilled and very interesting. If you want to enjoy a peaceful sunshine beach holiday, there are plenty of tourist areas along the coastal line, which have unspoiled beaches and luxury hotels for visitors. In Hainan Island, the beautiful Sanya beaches are opened the whole year around and there is no winter in this island. If you want excitements and nightlife, stay in big cities. There are many places every night for international gathering. If you are adventurers, go to remote areas to watch wild life or visit minorities(少数民族) to see how they live in the hillsides or desert. If you are sporty, take a cycle trip along the countryside, enjoy the rural(田园的) life and meet with Chinese people long the route.
You may have heard or read a lot about China from books, newspapers, magazines and TV programs. Some of them are true but most of them are out of date, incorrect or even false. China is different from many of your previous experiences and may shock you in many ways. This is what China is!
This country is changing and progressing every day. Yet it is still a developing country. After the economic reform, most of the developments concentrate in major cities and remote areas(边远地区) are still very backward. China is a very populated nation and people have to cope with the crowded environment. Foreign visitors may not get used to the mentality of the people and sometimes become frustrated with the situation, which they never experienced before. Basically Chinese are reserve, peaceful and nice. They are very polite too but in their own way. When a foreigner is willing to take a more positive attitude to recognize the difference, the trip will become worthwhile or you may ruin your trip completely by unreasonable expectation and misjudgment of the people in general.
小题1:According to the passage, if you go to China, you can enjoy all but _______.
A.mountain climbing | B.sunshine beach |
C.rural life | D.watching wild life |
A.also develop fast | B.are very rich |
C.still need developing | D.are very forward |
A.advertising | B.newspaper | C.novel | D.newsreport |
A.They are not used to the crowded environment. |
B.Sometimes, Chinese are not polite enough in foreigners" eyes. |
C.They don"t think there are good sceneries in China. |
D.Chinese are reserve. |
“Nothing great was ever done without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste(浆糊) that helps you hang in there when the things get tough. It is the inner voice that tells you, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is the childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing the cello(大提琴). As the music flowed through his fingers, his shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As writer and poet Samuel Ullman once worte, “Years wrinkle(起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, not considering money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl, a retired director of the Missouri Rpertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, long ago, told me, ‘I never made any money until I stopped working for it.’”
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses finding pleasure in the sweet of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.

The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said,“ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. ”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said. “Yes, I saw that, it"s nothing.”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?”I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ”“I"ll buy it,”I said. “What do you mean?You’ve just sold it to me,”he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I"m sorry, I"ll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ”“ You’re right, ”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,’Would you mend this chair for me I wouldn"t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣)by the whole thing.
