(每小题：1.5 分)

For the remaining 3 questions in the same passage, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.

Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Are You Reading as Many Books as You Would Like?

Do you read as much as you'd like, or as many as you'd like of the books you're interested in? Are you aware that the time spent on today's reading prevents you from reading something else? Life is one of choices?make sure your choices take you in the direction you wish to go.

My biggest recommendation (建议) to increase your reading rate is to attend a rapid reading course (sometimes called speed reading), but the single most important element is the on-going practice.

If you want to try a few techniques on your own, here are a few key pointers, but you really need to attend a course to be pushed to significantly higher levels of competency, because only an external person can push you past the comfort zone of your eyes, your brain, and your current beliefs about your abilities.

Some Rapid-reading Keys:

Read with purpose. Don't read things you won't remember, and don't waste time reading things that won't further you in any way. However, many people read mindlessly, just because it's there! You should start with the end in mind.

Have an expectation of success. See yourself reading at great speed.

Fill your mind with a positive expectation of great deeds. Feel and imagine the power of the rapid flow of information into your mind. And hear the rapid flow of words just pouring into your brain.

Preview and review the book. You can do it by scanning contents and

other information at the front, as well as the back. Sit upright and

hold the book at a comfortable position. Have good overhead light, fresh air, plenty of water, and a comfortable temperature.

Use a visual guide. You may usually use your finger, or sometimes two fingers, which depends on the size of the print. This is where the training by an instructor is really useful (they won't let you get away with bad habits, and they push you beyond your comfort level). One of

the key elements of rapid reading is to use our finger at a very fast rate, running it down the page. We don't need to read every word in

order to comprehend (理解) and keep the information. All we need is a large amount of text, and the sense is gathered at lightening speed.

Speed training. Go as fast as your hand can turn the pages, and don't worry that there seems to be practically no comprehension at this stage. The key is to extend the eye's capacity to absorb, and to strengthen

your mind's belief that it can be done. Two hands are needed. With one hand run a finger down the page as fast as you can. At first you'll notice an occasional word or phrase will jump out at you, but not much else. That's fine—comprehension is not the goal at this stage. With the other hand, turn the pages as fast as you can go.

Set a daily target for yourself—it might be to race through a thick book that you're interested to read. It might be to practice for a specified amount of time.

Practice, practice, and practice. Magazines and newspapers are great to practice on. The columns (栏目) are thin, which helps you go even faster.

Comprehension. You may think you're not absorbing much, but try this test. Choose a book you want to read. Each time you pick it up to read

in your old style, first do the rapid run described above. You'll notice when you come to read in your slow way that in fact you already know,

and can remember having seen, most of the key concepts. We call this a conscious convincer. Your subconscious needs reassurance (安心) that nothing is being lost, and that you have absorbed the information you need. Coupled with the rapid "preview", if you do wish to read slower,

do it with a highlighter in your hand. Your ability to keep the material will be greatly enhanced, for you will have visited the information several times.

You may still wish to read at a slower speed for enjoyment, or because you need to really absorb every word of an author for study purposes,

but if every day you practice this technique, suddenly you'll find you really are reading and absorbing at a much faster rate.

Part 6 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

(每小题：2 分)

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You

soon focus on some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must hurry off to keep some forgotten appointment.

This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can range round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting, "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an

assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.

Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore,

he would go to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop making a gesture to him with his hand. Expecting to be scolded, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was

put away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone had a desire to buy it!" he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.

C A C B A

1. Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant _______________.

A. only when you can find the book you want to buy

B. only when you are a book-lover

C. even when you enter it to avoid a sudden shower

D. even when you know you are late for an appointment

2. A bookshop is of much attraction because ______________ .

A. it offers you an opportunity to forget about everyday life

B. it offers you an opportunity to listen to as much music as possible

C. it allows you to learn about new ideas and ways of doing things

D. it allows you to have a good excuse for being late for an appointment

3. In a good bookshop __________.

A. an assistant should always follow you

B. an assistant should frequently approach you and offer help

C. you needn't buy anything you don't want

D. you can communicate freely with an assistant

4. The medical student went to a bookshop every day _____________.

A. to look for useful books

B. to read a textbook

C. to talk with the shop owner

D. to use the computer at the shop

5. The owner of the bookshop put away the book ______________.

A. in case other people wanted to buy it

B. in case the medical student wanted to buy it

C. because he wanted to sell it at a high price

D. because he wanted to keep it for himself

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

In the United States, it is not normal to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In social life, time plays a very important role. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation (邀请) to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.

The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. To be on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as not polite or not fully responsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour; it would be bad-mannered. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

6. If you telephone someone early in the day, it means

______D_____________.

A. you are expected to explain why

B. you are not kind enough

C. you want to show your concern for him

D. you have a very important matter to discuss

7. The expression "a matter of life and death" means ______A____________.

A. an issue of the greatest importance and emergency

B. a very important appointment

C. a matter of whether someone should live or die

D. a strong desire to communicate

8. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded

____A___________.

A. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended early enough

B. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended too far in advance

C. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended repeatedly

D. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended to too many people

9. The word "misunderstanding" can be explained as ______B______.

A. failing to attend a party

B. failing to understand correctly

C. standing in one's way

D. standing on one's own feet

10. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A

A. In the US it's normal to keep someone waiting for some time.

B. In the US it's not polite to keep someone waiting for an hour.

C. In the US one is always expected to be on time.

D. In the US one is expected to apologize if he is five minutes late
