Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have

2、to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page,

3、 picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words

4、 and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be t

5、oo fast for really difficult material, which requires special concentration at difficult points. A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proof-reading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he re

6、ads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practise this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by p

7、aying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.A good reader is a reader who _.A. concentrates on the wonderful part of the articleB. always reads slowly and carefullyC. changes his speed according to the kind of textD. changes his speed according to the interesting of the t

12、fe. It has very little oxygen and water, the temperature at night is below -50 and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cov

13、er the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars m

14、ay have been similar to the Earth, where life exists. Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Suns heat in the planets atmosphere. With warmth, water and ca

15、rbon dioxide, simple plants could begin to grow. These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. It is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would

16、 provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.The authors attitude towards the possibility of life on the Mars in the future is _.A. doubtfulB. positive C. negative D. uninterested 5.Traditionally, universities have carried out two mai

17、n activities: research and teaching, any experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from b

18、oth the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain ivory towers (象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required fo

19、r the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher. A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technic

20、ians to maintain and develop its economic growth but man, as the Bible says, does not live by bread alone. Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-cons

21、cious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners.

22、hat _.A. universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduatesB. universities should stop teaching philosophyC. high technology is now valued more than other courses in universitiesD. universities should put more stress on computer science6.Life really should be one long journey o

23、f joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet. Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the worlds top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the famil

24、y can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich, says the 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work prospects. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can t buy love. It can buy a lot of other things, however

25、, and thats where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence (娇惯) by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness. But

26、privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world, adds Mr. Coles, and they are more self-assured. The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. However, they will have a sense of isolation, w

27、arns Dr Coles, and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that. Todays wealthy pare

28、nts perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.In the doctors view, _.A. there are both advantages and disadvantages to being richB. tra

29、veling a lot will be beneficial to childrenC. rich children usually have little confidence in themselvesD. rich kids are often short of money because of their life of luxury7.The history of the American people is, (76) , the history of the movement of the American people.
