When skimming,readers only try to locate specific information and they often do not even follow the development of the story.（10）Scanning is another technique readers often use when looking up a word in a telephone book or dictionary to search for key words or ideas.Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page to seek specific words and phrases.Based on this,I will introduce to you three strategies which may help you to conduct effective reading.First，make sure the books are specific to your age and reading levels.Second,find some background information which relates to the book before reading.Third,leave plenty of time for reflection and let yourself be free to develop imagination at the end of the reading.OK,today we had a brief look at the ways to be effective readers，and the skills of reading as well. Undoubtedly,reading is always beneficial.I hope you'll enjoy reading and keep reading after today's lecture.Thank you for your attention.【精解精析】1.written information【定位】First of all,I'd say,reading is a method of absorbing written information.（第二段第一句）【解析】根据定位句可知，作者认为读书首先是对书面信息的吸收，此处缺少名词，故填入written information。

You should write at least 120words following the outline given below.1.近年来越来越多的公共场所禁烟2.这项举措在受到拥护的同时也引发了争议3.你的看法Should Smoking Be Banned in Public Places?—————————————————————————————————————Part II Reading Comprehensive (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Low-carbon Future: We Can Afford to Go GreenTackling climate change will cost consumers the earth. Those who campaign for a green revolution are out to destroy our western lifestyles. Such are the cries of opponents of emissions cuts, and their message has political impact: a number of surveys have found that the enthusiasm of voters for policies to reduce climate change falls off as the price tag increases.However, a new modeling(模型化) exercise suggests that these fears are largely unfounded. It projects that radical cuts to the UK’s emissions will cause barely noticeable increases in the price of food, drink and most other goods by 2050. Electricity and petrol costs will rise significantly, but with the right policies in place, say the modellers, this need not lead to big change in our lifestyle.“These results show that the global project to fight climate change is feasible,” says Alex Bowen, a climate policy expert at the London School of Economics. “It’s not such a big ask as people are making out.”Although it is impossible to precisely predict prices four decrease from now, the exercise is one of the most detailed examinations yet of the impact of climate change policies on UK consumers. It provides a useful rough guide to our economic future.Though its results speak directly to the UK consumers, previous research has come to similar conclusions for the US. In June, one study found that if the US were to cut emissions by 50 per cent by 2050, prices of most consumer goods would increase by less than 5 per cent. The findings are also consistent with analyses by the Pew Center on Global Climate change in Washington DC. “Even cutting emissions by 80 per cent over four decades has a very small effect on consumers in most areas,” says Manik Roy of the Pew Center. “The challenge is now to convince consumers and policy-Makers that this is the case.”The Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change recommends that wealthy nations cut their emissions to between 80 and 95 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050 in order to avoid theworst effects of climate change. The UK government aims to reduce its contribution by 80 per cent and leaders of the other G8 nations have discussed following suit. To meet this goal, industries will have to slash fossil fuel consumption, and low-carbon power sources will have to massively expand. Companies will have to pay increasingly higher prices for the right to emit greenhouse gases.How will this affect the average citizen's wallet? To measure the impact of the 80 per cent target on the UK population, New Scientist approached Cambridge Econometrics, a firm known for its modeling of the European economy. The firm used historic economic data to predict the impact of emissions reductions on prices in over 40 categories of goods and services. It compared the impact of the 80 per cent cut with a baseline scenario in which the government takes no action other than the limited emissions restrictions already in place as a result of the Kyoto protocol(京都协议书).Most of the price increases are a consequence of rising energy costs, in part because coal and gas are replaced by more expensive low-carbon sources. The price of electricity is projected to be 15 per cent higher in 2050 compared with the baseline. In today's prices, that would add around £5 onto typical monthly household electricity bills. It will also result in higher prices elsewhere, as every industrial sector uses electricity.But electricity and other forms of energy make up only a small part of the price of most goods. Other factors - raw materials, labour and taxes - are far more important. The energy that goes into producing food, alcoholic drinks and tobacco, for example, makes up just 2 per cent of the consumer price. For motor vehicle purchases and hotel stays, the figure is 1 per cent. Only for energy-intensive industries does the contribution climb above 3 per cent.As a result, most products cost just a few per cent more by 2050. At current prices, going low-carbon is forecast to add around 5 pence to the price of a slice of bread or a pint of beer. The price of household appliances such as washing machines rises by a few pounds.There is one major exception to the pattern. Airlines do not currently have a low-carbon alternative to jet fuel. Unless one is found, they will bear the full burden of carbon pricing, and average fares will rise by at least 140 per cent - raising the cost of a typical London to New York return trip from around £350 to £840.Achieving the overall picture of low prices does require government action. The model forecasts that by 2050 natural gas and petrol will cost 160 per cent and 32 per cent more respectively. To avoid large price rises in home heating and road transport while still hitting the 80 per cent target, the Cambridge researchers had to build two major policies into their analysis. They assumed that future governments will provide grants to help switch all domestic heating and cooking to electricity, and invest in the basic facilities needed for electric cars to almost completely replace petroleum-fuelled vehicles.Both policies have been discussed in recent UK government strategy documents, though the detail of how they would be implemented still needs further discussion. Firm policies must follow if ambitious emissions cuts are going to be made, says Chris Thoung of Cambridge Econometrics.So is tackling climate change going to be easier than expected, in terms of consumer costs? While the Cambridge Econometrics model is widely respected and regularly used by the UK government's climate change advisers, any attempt to forecast four decades ahead can be diverted by unforeseen events. That leads some economists to question the model's results.For example, companies could move to countries with less strict carbon regulations, points out Richard Tol of the Economic and Social Research Institute in Dublin, Ireland. Incomes in the UK would fall, making goods relatively more expensive. Tol also questions whether it is reasonable to use historical prices as a basis for projecting beyond 2020.Despite this, the Cambridge Econometrics results, together with other recent studies, do provide a useful guide for governments, says Michael Grubb of the University of Cambridge. They suggest that the overall challenge is conquerable, even if many of the details will only become clear in years to come.1.Why does the enthusiasm of the policy-makers to lesson climate decrease?A)Economic recession is widely spreadB)Western lifestyles are destroyedC)The cost of a green revolution risesD)The environment is improved2.According to the modellers, emission cuts won’t

You might not be aware of how much information you’re 47 .That’s the message from the founders of Please Rob Me, a website launched last week that 48 just how easy it is to rob people blind on the basis of the information they’re posting on the web. The site uses streams of data from Foursquare, a（n）49 popular location-based social network that is based on a game-like premise （前提）. Players use smart phones or laptops to "check in" to a location, 50 their position on a map for friends using the service to see. The more often you check in, the better your chances of being declared the mayor of a 51 location, be it a restaurant, bar, office or even your own home.T he problem comes when users also post these locations to Twitter, says Boy van Amstel, one of the founders of Please Rob Me. Then the information becomes 52 available, making it possible for a robber to keep a close watch on when you say you’re in your home or not.So how can you keep yourself off Please Rob Me and, more important, keep your home out of the police notebook A little foresight goes a long way. Sites like Foursquare and its competitors don’t post your location unless you give it to them, nor is it posted to Twitter without your 53 . It’s always up to the user to 54 what to post.

Organizers say texting is an effective means of delivering wellness tips because 90 percent of people in the U.S. have cell phones."Especially if you start talking about low-income people, cell phones are the indispensable tool for reaching them and engaging them about their health," said Paul Meyer, president ofVoxiva, a company which operates health texting programs in Africa, Latin America and India.Studies in those countries have shown that periodic texts can reduce smoking and other unhealthy behaviors in pregnant mothers.Meyer said the U.S. program, run by Voxiva, will be the largest health-related texting program ever undertaken.Under the new service, mothers-to-be who text "BABY" to a specified number will receive weekly text messages, timed to their due date or their baby’s birth date. The messages, which have been scanned by government and nonprofit health experts, deal with nutrition, immunization and birth defect prevention, among other topics. The messages will continue through the baby’s first birthday.Baby is expected to be announced Thursday morning by officials from the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy. Government officials will be publicizing the campaign in speeches and promotional materials.Organizers hope the effort can curb premature （早产的）births, which can be caused by poor nutrition, excessive stress, smoking and drinking alcohol. About 500,000 babies are born prematurely in the U.S. each year. The nonprofit is among the sponsors of the campaign."The real scary thing is that we’re an industrialized nation and we’re not doing very well on infant death rate, and we know prematurity is a big part of that," said the group’s director, Judy Meehan.Currently the U.S. ranks 30th worldwide for infant death rate, according to Meehan, behind most Western European nations.Researchers at the George Washington University have agreed to evaluate the effectiveness of baby by measuring health trends for mothers and newborns.57. The word “harness” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_______”A) take advantage ofB) be independent ofC) produce an effect onD) expand the range of58. What do we know about Africa, Latin America and India?A) They are among the profitable marketsB) Women seldom care about their healthC) People there are relatively poorD) Cell phones are popular there59.

What is the purpose of the baby program?A) To warn women against bad habitsB) To let people care about prematurityC) To improve babies’ nutritionD) To reduce infant death rate61. Compared with the U.S., most Western European nations________.A) have higher infant death ratesB) do better on infant death ratesC) do more studies on babyD) pay less attention to babyPassage TwoAs a group of young African immigrants struggles to adapt to life in the United States, an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to make their lives easier by first making them a little harder.Project X is a program that uses drama, dance, poetry and other creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and sometimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with significant language barriers. A final unveiling of their creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage.Wanjiru Kamau, coordinator of White Oak’s African Club said it’s important to give troubles to group members to help them find their place at the school. "It comforts those who are uncomfortable, and it discomforts those who are comfortable," Kaman said of Project X.Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed that many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems, such as being laughed at by their fellow students about how they look and talk. When most of the kids join the club, they speak little or no English, Kamau said. Each week, the club typically draws five to 10 students who are originally from Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X program."We’re going to express ourselves through our words and our actions, and that’s powerful," said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities.One student, Franck Ketchouang, 13, wrote, "I am from the world; I am love," which drew oohs and aahs from the group. Ketchouang has been in the United States less than a year, said Program Coordinator Chad Dike. When Ketchouang started attending Project X, he had been in the United States for two months and spoke no English. Now he’s one of the group’s most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group’s newest member, who is from Haiti.Many people will give up when there’s a language barrier, "but these students prove them wrong," Kamau said. "You do have something to give. You are important. When TV, media, etc. are bringing them down, this program is bringing them up."62. Project X is intended for helping the young African immigrants to_________.A) get over language barriersB) overcome tough problemsC) enrich after-school lifeD) become more creative63. How well the members learn in the Project X program is demonstrated by _____.A) their annual creative performancesB) their annual scores gained at schoolC) the comments of friends and familyD) the comments of the program teachers64. What do we know about the imagination Stage?A) It’s established by Kamau for Project XB) It’s operated once at the end of each year.C) It’s projected designed by White Oak Middle School.D) It’s a cooperative partner of White Oak’s Africa Club.65. According to the author, what Franck Ketchouang wrote was_________.A) silly B) simple C) remarkable D) disputable66. The passage is written mainly to ________.A) call for more attention to immigrantsB) inspire immigrants to never give upC) advocate White Oak’s African ClubD) introduce the project X programPart V ClozeIt can be tempting to make a hasty decision when a killer opportunity comes along or the thought of spending another day on the job seems painful. 67 , Career coach Piotrowski recommends taking baby 68 to execute a new career strategy."Plan a timeline of one to two years to 69 your career change.

Choosing an OccupationPart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked［A］,［B］,［C］and ［D］. For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Will We Run Out of Water?Picture a “ghost ship” sinking into the sand, left to rot on dry land by a receding sea. Then imagine dust storms sweeping up toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers from the dry seabed and spewing them across towns and villages.Seem like a scene from a movie about the end of the world? For people living near the Aral Sea in Central Asia, it’s all too real. Thirty years ago, government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate(provide waterfor)farmland. As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size, stranding ships on dry land. The seawater has tripled in salt content and become polluted, killing all 24 native species of fish.Similar large-scale efforts to redirect water in other parts of the world have also ended in ecological crisis, according to numerous environmental groups. But many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix. Why? People in many parts of the world are desperate for water, and more people will need more water in the next century.“Growing populations will worsen problems with water,” says Peter H. Gleick, an environmental scientist at the Pacific Institute for studies in Development, Environment, and Security, a research organization in California. He fears that by the year 2025, as many as one third of the world’s projected 8.3 billion people will suffer from water shortages.Where Water GoesOnly 2.5 percent of all water on Earth is freshwater, water suitable for drinking and growing food, says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project in Amherst, Mass. Two-thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps.In fact, only a tiny percentage of freshwater is part of the water cycle, in which water evaporates and rises into the atmosphere, then condenses and falls back to Earth as precipitation(rain or snow).Some precipitation runs off land to lakes and oceans, and some becomes groundwater, water that seeps into the earth. Much of this renewable freshwater ends up in remote places like the Amazon river basin in Brazil, where few people live.In fact, the world’s population has access to only 12,500 cubic kilometers of freshwater—about the amount of water in Lake Superior. And people use half of this amount already. “If water demand continues to climb rapidly,” says Postel, “there will be severe shortages and damage to the aquatic environment.”Close to HomeWater woes may seem remote to people living in rich countries like the United States. But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater. Groundwater accumulates in aquifers, layers of sand and gravel that lie between soil and bedrock. (For every liter of surface water, more than 90 liters are hidden underground.)Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers, and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postel.Americans may face even more urgent problems from pollution. Drinking water in the United States is generally safe and meets high standards. Nevertheless, one in five Americans every day unknowingly drinks tap water contaminated withbacteria and chemical wastes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In Milwaukee, 400,000 people fell ill in 1993 after drinking tap water tainted with cryptosporidium, a microbe that causes fever, diarrhea and vomiting.The SourceWhere do contaminants come from? In developing countries, people dump raw sewage into the same streams and rivers from which they draw water for drinking and cooking; about 250 million people a year get sick from water borne diseases.In developed countries, manufacturers use 100,000 chemical compounds to make a wide range of products. Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes. (Certain compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, have been banned in the United States.)But almost everyone contributes to water pollution. People often pour household cleaners, car antifreeze, and paint thinners down the drain; all of these contain hazardous chemicals. Scientists studying water in the San Francisco Bay reported in 1996 that 70 percent of the pollutants could be traced to household waste.Farmers have been criticized for overusing herbicides and pesticides, chemicals that kill weeds and insects but that pollute water as well. Farmers also use nitrates, nitrogen-rich fertilizer that help plants grow but that can wreak havoc on the environment. Nitrates are swept away by surface runoff to lakes and seas. Too many nitrates “over enrich” these bodies of water, encouraging the buildup of algae, or microscopic plants that live on the surface of the water. Algae deprive the water of oxygen that fish need to survive, at times choking off life in an entire body of water.What’s the Solution?Water expert Gleick advocates conservation and local solutions to water-related problems; governments, for instance, would be better off building small-scale dams rather than huge and disruptive projects like the one that ruined the Aral Sea. “More than 1 billion people worldwide don’t have access to basic clean drinking water,” says Gleick. “There has to be a strong push on the part of everyone—governments and ordinary people—to make sure we have a resource so fundamental to life.”1.What caused the Aral Sea to shrink? ［A］The rivers flowing into it have been diverted. ［B］Farmers used its water to irrigate their farmland. ［C］Government planners over-pumped its water. ［D］High temperature made its water badly evaporate.2.The construction of massive dams and irrigation projects . ［A］does more good than harm ［B］solves more problems than what they created ［C］does more harm than good ［D］brings more water to people than expected3.The chief causes of water shortage include . ［A］population growth and water waste ［B］water pollution and dry weather ［C］water waste and pollution ［D］population growth and water pollution4.Americans could suffer from greatly serious water shortages? ［A］living in rich areas ［B］living in big cities but poor condition ［C］depending on groundwater ［D］bearing high standards of safe drinking water in mind5.What is the main pollutant in developed countries? ［A］Untreated toxic chemicals from manufacturers. ［B］Raw sewage into rivers and streams. ［C］Herbicides and pesticides used by farmers. ［D］Household cleaners poured down the drain.6.How does algae make threats to life of a body of water? ［A］By covering the whole surface of the water. ［B］By competitively using oxygen life in water needs. ［C］By living more rapidly than other life in water . ［D］By releasing hazardous chemicals into water.7.According to Gleick, who should be responsible for solving water-related problems? ［A］government and housewives.［B］farmers and manufacturers. ［C］ordinary people and manufacturers. ［D］government and every person.8. According to Peter H. Gleick, by the year 2025, as many as of the world’s people will suffer from water shortages.9.Two thirds of the freshwater on Earth is locked in.10.In developed countries, before toxic chemicals are released into rivers and lakes, they should be treated in order to avoid.。
