| A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in 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 rapidly than a physics or economics textbook- but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage (百分比) grained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with. The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim (浏览) through a newspaper at perhaps 650~700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty. Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native 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, Tolstoy's War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute. |
| 1. Where do you think the passage is taken from? |
|
[ ] |
| A. A school newspaper run by students. B. The introduction to a book on fast reading. C. The introduction to an English textbook. D. A local newspaper for young people. |
| 2. According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota? |
|
[ ] |
| A. You can double your reading speed. B. You can increase your reading speed by four times. C. You can increase your reading speed by three times. D. No real increase in reading speed can be achieved. |
| 3. The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota is _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. about sixty words per minute B. about two hundred and forty-five words per minute C. about five hundred words per minute D. about three hundred words per minute |
| 4. According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. not only in your language study but also in other subjects B. improve your understanding of an economics textbook C. choose the suitable material to read D. only in your reading of a physics textbook |

| Advertising informs consumers about new products available on the market. It gives us information about everything from shampoo to tooth-paste to computers and cars. But there is one series problem with this. The "information" is actually very often "misinformation". It tells us the products, benefits but hides their disadvantages. Advertising not only leads us to buy things that we don't need and can't afford, but it also confuses our sense of reality. Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products. One of their most successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect lives. Advertisements show us who we aren't and what we don't have. "Why don't I have any dates (约会)?" a good-looking girl sadly asks in a commercial. "Here," replies her roommate, "Try Zoom tooth-paste!" Of course she tried it, and immediately the whole football team falls in love with her. "That's a stupid commercial," we might say. But we still buy Zoom tooth-paste out of fear of being unpopular and having no friends. If fear is the negative motive (动机) for buying a product, then wanting a good self-image is the positive reason for choosing it. Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of person we would like to be. For example, a modern young woman might like to think that she looks like a beautiful movie star. A middle-aged man might want to see himself as a strong, attractive athlete. Advertisers know this. They write specific ads to make certain groups of people choose their products. Advertisers get psychologists to study the way consumers think and their reasons for choosing one brand instead of another. These experts tell advertisers about the motives of fear and self-image. They also inform them about recent studies with colors and words. They have found that certain colors on the package of an attractive product will cause people to reach out and take that package instead of buying an identical (同一的、 相等的) product with different colors. Many people believe that advertising does not affect them. They like to think they make wise choices. Unfortunately, they probably don't realize the powerful effect of advertising. They may not clearly understand that advertisers spend billions of dollars each year in aggressive (强有力的) competition for our money, and they are extremely successful. |
| 1. Advertising _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. gives us valuable information about new products B. misinforms us C. doesn't influence us very much D. doesn't always tell us everything about a product |
| 2. "A modern young woman might like to think that she looks like a beautiful movie star" That means _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. a modern young woman wants to be as attractive as possible B. every modern young woman wants to act in movies C. most modern women think that they are beautiful D. modern woman are not always satisfied with themselves |
| 3. Advertisers _____ to make us buy their products. |
|
[ ] |
| A. offer very low prices B. get information from psychologists C. use similar method D. need to use better detergent (洗涤剂) and shampoo |
| 4. Psychologists tell advertisers _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. which brands of tooth-paste to produce B. to stop influencing shoppers C. about people's motives for buying D. how much money to spend on television |

| More ice melted from the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet this year than ever before recorded, report scientists from the University of Colorado. The same team found that the extent of Arctic sea ice reached the lowest level in the satellite record in 2002, offering further proof that climate change is already changing the Arctic. Researchers from the University of Colorado (UC) say that the speeding up melting appears to be linked to changes in Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation patterns. The study also found temperatures during the summer of 2002 were warmer than usual over much of the Arctic Ocean. "It is likely that sea ice extent will continue to decline over the 21st century as the climate warms," researchers added. "With these trends, we may see a 20 percent reduction in the yearly average sea ice by 2050, and by then there might be no ice at all during the summer months." The report was released on Saturday at the yearly fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, just one week after an announcement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that sea ice is melting about nine percent faster than earlier research had showed, and could disappear entirely by the end of this century. "This trend of disappearing Arctic sea ice is one example of the environmental damage that can be linked to carbon dioxide emissions," said Morgan, "When we have the means to reduce CO2 emissions (散发) and prevent further damage, we should do our best. National leaders must act now to improve energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, before it's too late." UC scientists judge that a change in the Greenland climate toward warmer conditions would lead to an increase in the rate of sea level rise, which will bring disasters to the human beings. |
| 1. It can be inferred that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. scientists have found that Arctic sea ice is lower than before A. scientists have studied the pictures of the Arctic sent by satellites B. scientists began to do research on Arctic sea ice in the year 2002 C. warm temperature has hardly any effect on the extent of Arctic sea ice now but soon will |
| 2. Scientists fear that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. there will be no ice left at all in the Arctic Ocean at the end of the 21st century B. disasters will happen if Arctic sea ice continues to melt faster than before C. the temperature in Greenland will be too warm for animals and human beings to live on D. people still think Arctic sea ice is melting slowly |
| 3. It is thought that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. carbon dioxide emissions are one of the causes of the environmental damage B. carbon dioxide emissions are an example of the environmental damage C. most environmental problems are caused by carbon dioxide emissions D. people can still have the chance to solve the above environmental problem |
