阅读理解Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity.It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal --- even while eating breakfast.One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night.Whether he went to bed at 10 pm or 2:30 am made no difference.Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket.Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must not be too difficult for you.Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element --- some 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 down the page number you have reached.Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading.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 four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book.You should soon notice your habitual w.p.m.rate creeping up.6.The passage recommends setting aside for reading practice().A.two hours a dayB.one hour a dayC.15 minutes or half an hour a dayD.three minutes a day before meal7.One famous surgeon always made it a rule to read() .A.15 minutes at 10 pm each nightB.for at least 15 minutes at bedtimeC.no matter it was early or lateD.whenever he had a spare moment8.It is a good idea always to carry in your packet ().A.a book you will never forgetB.a serious bookC.several books of various kindsD.an easy and interesting English book9.According to the passage, a “pacing” device() .A.measures a student’s reading speedB.is not included in most speed reading coursesC.is an aid to vocabulary learningD.should be used whenever we read alone10.Looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes ().A.avoids the need for reading fasterB.is not the same as pacingC.is not easy at firstD.helps you to remember the page number you were at last time

(阅读理解题)A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days, was playing the saxophone (萨克斯管) on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet (小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, “That is fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything.” Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want—not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, file criticism, military history—whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited in any way. If you have the vocabulary—or at least a good dictionary near at hand—you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author's words. In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignments with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.(1).The author develops his point by starting with ______.A、an exampleB、an accidentC、a statementD、a contrast(2).Which of the following statements is implied in Paragraph 1?A、Clifford was good at playing the saxophoneB、The author’s friend was once a street musicianC、The 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorlyD、Clifford was a good music teacher(3).How does the author think about Clifford’s words?A、humorous, correct, simpleB、ridiculous, incorrect, ludicrousC、wise, plain, correctD、stupid, useless, incorrect(4).With good reading skills, you can ______.A、understand anything you read with few difficultiesB、work out the author's meaning if only you concentrate on the bookC、understand what you read with the help of a good dictionaryD、concentrate on whatever you read(5).It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Developing Reading skills ______.A、is directed to elementary school studentsB、centers around vocabulary building skillsC、offers elementary reading skillsD、aims at helping students read better

Text 3 That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliché.But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully:There’s never any time to read.What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient.The web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read:“Give up TV”or“Carry a book with you at all times”But in my experience,using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work.Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning-or else you’re so exhausted that a challenging book’s the last thing you need.The modern mind,Tim Parks,a novelist and critic,writes,“is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication…It is not simply that one is interrupted;it is that one is actually inclined to interruption”.Deep reading requires not just time,but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.In fact,“becoming more efficient”is part of the problem.Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally,judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal immersive reading,by contrast,depends on being willing to risk inefficiency,goallessness,even time-wasting.Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you’ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful,sometimes,but not the most fulfilling kind.“The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,”writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time,and“we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles(days,hours,minutes)as they pass,for if they get by without being filled,we will have wasted them”.No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.So what does work?Perhaps surprisingly,scheduling regular times for reading.You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set,but in fact,Eberle notes,such ritualistic behaviour helps us“step outside time’s flow”into“soul time”.You could limit distractions by reading only physical books,or on single-purpose e-readers.“Carry a book with you at all times”can actually work,too-providing you dip in often enough,so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business,before dropping back down.On a really good day,it no longer feels as if you’re“making time to read,”but just reading,and making time for everything else.“Carry a book with you at all times”can work if______A.reading becomes your primary business of the dayB.all the daily business has been promptly dealt withC.you are able to drop back to business after readingD.time can be evenly split for reading and business

资料:Did your child's brain shrink last summer? Probably not, but it may have shifted into reverse, according to a study by Dr. Harris Cooper, professor of psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The study found that when students return to school after a long summer vacation, they've lost one to three months worth of learning.The decline is more detrimental for math than it is for reading. "All students lose math skills," says Cooper. It may be because community and home environments give kids more opportunities to practice reading than math. The study also found that income has an impact on how much a student loses or gains in reading. Middle-class children actually gained in reading over the summer, while lower-income students experienced losses. Cooper attributes this to the enrichment activities that many middle-class kids participate in over the summer, such as camp and trips.Your kids don't have to spend the summer stuck in reverse. "Parents can help their kids retain educational skills," says Cooper. He suggests the following five tips to kick off a learning-filled summer.1. Keep lots of books around and make regular trips to the library. Most libraries schedule special summer events for kids. Sign up your family! 2. Think about what your kids may be learning next year when you plan the family vacation. Talk with teachers to find out what they'll be covering in class. If it's a unit on the civil war for example, you may want to schedule a visit to Gettysburg. If it's geology, visit a national park.3. Keep math in mind. Since kids lose more math skills than anything else over the summer, try to do some special planning to find math-related activities. For example, if you can't decide whether to sign your child up for "Shakespeare's Theater" or "Math Magic" at the local community center, go with the math.4. Consider summer school or tutoring. Struggling kids can get a lot of different kinds of help from these programs. Summer school can also enrich and accelerate learning in areas where kids show a special interest.5. Call the curriculum coordinator in your child's school district, visit the school board office, or contact the schools of education at local colleges and universities to find out what educational programs will be offered in your area over the summer.Remember to keep it fun! You don't want to sour your kids on learning during the summer break.Why is decline worse for math than it is for reading?( )A.Because the community have the librariesB.Because at home the parents will make kids reading moreC.Because in summer vacation kids have more time in readingD.Because community and home give kids more opportunities to read

Keep lots of books around and make regular trips to the library. Most libraries schedule special summer events for kids. Sign up your family! 2. Think about what your kids may be learning next year when you plan the family vacation. Talk with teachers to find out what they'll be covering in class. If it's a unit on the civil war for example, you may want to schedule a visit to Gettysburg. If it's geology, visit a national park.3. Keep math in mind. Since kids lose more math skills than anything else over the summer, try to do some special planning to find math-related activities. For example, if you can't decide whether to sign your child up for "Shakespeare's Theater" or "Math Magic" at the local community center, go with the math.4. Consider summer school or tutoring. Struggling kids can get a lot of different kinds of help from these programs. Summer school can also enrich and accelerate learning in areas where kids show a special interest.5. Call the curriculum coordinator in your child's school district, visit the school board office, or contact the schools of education at local colleges and universities to find out what educational programs will be offered in your area over the summer.Remember to keep it fun! You don't want to sour your kids on learning during the summer break.What dose Dr. Harris Cooper’s research find?( )A.After summer vocation kids will lose one to three months worth of learningB.After summer vocation kids will lose learning capability in readingC.Summer vocation makes kids lose learning skills in mathD.Summer vocation brings kids psychological problems

资料:Did your child's brain shrink last summer? Probably not, but it may have shifted into reverse, according to a study by Dr. Harris Cooper, professor of psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The study found that when students return to school after a long summer vacation, they've lost one to three months worth of learning.The decline is more detrimental for math than it is for reading. "All students lose math skills," says Cooper. It may be because community and home environments give kids more opportunities to practice reading than math. The study also found that income has an impact on how much a student loses or gains in reading. Middle-class children actually gained in reading over the summer, while lower-income students experienced losses. Cooper attributes this to the enrichment activities that many middle-class kids participate in over the summer, such as camp and trips.Your kids don't have to spend the summer stuck in reverse.

共用题干第三篇Reading PoemNo poem should ever be discussed or"analyzed",until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end,so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it aloud,and the reading of the poem is,finally,the most telling"interpretation"of it,suggesting tone,rhythm, and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice,on records or on film,is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all,reciting it.I have come to think,in fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than"analyzing"it,if there isn't time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is"a criticism of life","a heightening of life,enjoyment with others".It is"an approach to the truth of feeling",and it"can save your life".It also deserves a place in the teaching of languages and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature,about its sound as well as its sense,and they must make room inthe classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.According to the passage,to have a better understanding of a poem,the best way is______.A:to discuss it with othersB:to analyze it by oneselfC:to hear it read outD:to practice reading it aloud

共用题干Read With Greater Speed Do you have difficulty reading in class?If so,a special reading program that helps match sounds with letters could speed up your brain.At least one out of every five elementary school students in the U.S. has trouble learning to read,even when the students are good at other subjects.________(1)Researchers from Yale University,U. S.,studied a group of children from New York and Connecticut State.As part of the study,37 struggling readers received special tutoring.Every day,instructors worked with them on recognizing how written letters represent units of sound called phonemes(音素)._______(2)By the end of the school year,these children could read faster than before.They also made fewer mistakes,and understood more of what they read than they could earlier in the year.As part of their study,the researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the students' brains._______(3)This is the same part of the brain that becomes active when good readers read.This activated brain area appears to include a structure that helps people recognize familiar written words quickly.In lower level readers,this structure remains inactive.A year later,the brain structure was still working hard in the students who had gone through the special tutoring,and they continued to do well in reading tests.________(4) However,some researchers still doubt the study.________(5)_________(2)A: Many adults are interested in matching sounds with letters.B: The students also practiced reading aloud and spelling.C: The biggest challenge for many of these kids,scientists say,is matching sounds with letters.D:.Another group in the study who went through a more traditional reading program didn't show the same progress.E: The pictures showed an increase in activity in the back of the brain on the left side.F: They believe that reading without making any noise or linking words to sounds is more efficient.
