Im very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best matchmaking (媒人) ideas come while Im in the bath. Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be good with whom. Before I did matchmaking, I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people. Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely. So I gave up my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970. Over the last few years weve been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain. Europeans want to meet British people. For every 100 people who come to us, about 65 will settle down. We keep going until clients (委托人) find someone that they get on very well with. Were great triers. Of course there are impossible people, those who will never settle. Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients. A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time. It soon became clear that he did not like changing his shirts. So I had to be very honest and frank and told him, "But a woman cant start to love you if your shirt smells." The job is most satisfying when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love.What does the author mean by saying "Im very organized" AShe is especially capable of organizing things.BShe has a fixed plan for her everyday activities.CShe likes to remember things she has to do.DShe always finishes what she does on time. 2.B第三篇/B B Faster Effective Reading/B 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) gained 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, say, four hundred words per minute, 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, Tolstoys 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, one a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you _. Aonly in your reading of a physics textbookBimprove your understanding of an economics textbookCnot only in your language study but also in other subjectsDchoose the suitable materials for you to practice reading 3. 阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出了4个选项，请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案。 BMan and Computer/B What makes people different from computer programs What is the missing element that our theories dont yetU (51) /Ufor The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories U (52) /Ua reason to learn more about what they are interested in.

Many of them are connected with the "dailies", though not run by the same editor and his members. The Sunday papers are larger than the daily papers and usually contain more articles concerned with comment (评论) and general information rather than news. The national daily and Sun day papers have the largest circulation(发行) in the world. Of the Sunday papers, the Observer and the Sunday Times are the best known. It is a regrettable fact that the number of magazines of a literary or political nature has dropped down since the war. This has probably been caused by the ever-wider use of radio and television. The most successful magazines are those published for women. Their covers are designed to catch the eye, and they certainly succeed in doing so! They offer their readers articles on cookery (烹饪法), fashion, needlework, and many other matters of women interest. They also provide advice to those in love, and adventures with handsome heroes. Some womens magazines also include serious articles of more general interest. The visitor who looks at the magazines displayed in a large bookstall (书摊) which may be found in an important railway station will notice that there is a wide variety of technical or semitechnical (半专业的) books and magazines. There are magazines for the motorist, the farmer, the gardener, the nurse, and many others. There are many local and regional newspapers. It is common in Britain for a news agent(报刊经售人) to deliver (投递) the morning papers to his customers for a small extra payment, this service is usually performed by boys and girls who want to earn some pocket-money.It is obvious that daily newspapers carry more information than the Sunday papers.

They knew well that good roads were necessary for keeping the extended empire together. The first of the great empire road builders were the Persians (波斯人). Between 500 and 400 B. C. all the parts of the Persian Empire were connected by roads with the capital city. The main, or "royal", road began near what is now Turkey(土耳其), and ended in Susa. The road had well-built inns where travelers could rest and eat, and tax-houses like those on a modern highway. The people of Greece, unlike the Persians, believed that their city-states could remain independent only if the roads between them were not too good. Besides, the landscape(风景) full of mountains in Greece made road building an extremely difficult job. As a result, the Greeks turned to the sea, and instead of highways, developed sea routes that reached distant lands. By far the greatest of the ancient road builders were the Romans. The Romans, like the Persians before them, recognized the importance of land routes to keep their empire together. At the height of its power, the Roman Empire covered about 2,000,000 square miles. It extended from Spain in the west to the banks of the Caspian Sea(里海) in the east. And from England in the northwest, the empire stretched south to include the coastal lands of North Africa. By about 120 A.D. the Romans had built an extraordinary network of about 50,000 miles of roads. The roads were originally built for military traffic moving from one part of the empire to another, but during periods of peace these same roads were busy with traders and travelers. You can still travel over Roman roads in many parts of Europe today. The Roman engineers knew how to build things that would last and last.The ancient Persians "royal" road was like the modern highways today in that it _. Abegan near what is now TurkeyBrequired payment for its useCconnected many parts of EuropeDwas well built with modern traffic facilities (设施) 6.B第三篇/B B Faster Effective Reading/B 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.
