But with lots of money.When you think of “millionaire”, what image comes to your mind? For many of us, it‟s a flashy Wall Street banker type who flies a private jet, collects cars and lives the kind of decadent lifestyle that would make Donald Trump proud.But many modern millionaires live in middle-class neighborhoods, work full-time and shop in discount stores like the rest of us. What motivates them isn‟t material possessions but the choices that money can bring. “For the rich, it‟s not about getting more stuff. It‟s about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want,” says T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. Wealth means you can send your child to any school or quit a job you don‟t like.According to the Spectrem Wealth Study, an annual survey of America‟s wealthy, there are more people living the good life than ever before — the number of millionaires nearly doubled in the last decade. And the rich are getting richer. To make it onto the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans, a mere billionaire no longer makes the cut. This year you needed a net worth of at least $1.3 billion.If more people are getting richer than ever, why shouldn‟t you be one of them? Here are the secrets revealed by the people who have at least a million dollars in liquid assets.1. Set your sights on where you’re goingTwenty years ago, Jeff Harris hardly seemed on the road to wealth. He was a college dropout who struggled to support his wife, DeAnn, and three kids, working as a grocery store clerk and at a junkyard where he melted scrap metal alongside convicts (囚犯). “At times we were so broke that we washed our clothes in the bathtub because we couldn‟t afford the Laundromat.” Now he‟s a 49-year-old investment advisor and multimillionaire in York, South Carolina.There was one big reason Jeff pulled ahead of the pack: He always knew he‟d be rich. The reality is that 80 percent of Americans worth at least $5 million grew up in middle-class or lesser households, just like Jeff.Wanting to be wealthy is a crucial first step. Eker says, “The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you‟ll only achieve small things.”It all started for Jeff when he met a stockbroker at a Christmas party. “Talking to him, it felt like discovering fire,” he says. “I started reading books about investing during my breaks at the grocery store, and I began putting $25 a month in a mutual fund.” Next he taught a class at a local community college on investing. His students became his first clients, which led to his investment practice. “There were lots of struggles,” says Jeff, “but what got me through it was believing with all my heart that I would succeed.”2. Educate yourselfWhen Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a high-tech job —but he couldn‟t balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip,” says the 45-year-old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement (结算单).”One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us avoid investing because we just don‟t get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn‟t understand this stuff,” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (高手) I knew to explain things to me.”He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars, cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they could afford a more expensive one. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, …I need to refinance my house — what should I do?‟ A lot of times, I wouldn‟t know the answer, but I‟d go find it and learn something in the process,” he says.In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars for employees of corporations like Wal-Mart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it‟s paid off: He now owns $30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.“I was an engineer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little self-education,” says Steve. “You can doanything once you understand the basics.”3. Passion pays offIn 1995, Jill Blashack Strahan and her husband were barely making ends meet. Like so many of us, Jill was eager to discover her purpose, so she splurged on a session with a life coach. “When I told her my goal was to make $30,000 a year, she said I was setting the bar too low. I needed to focus on my passion, not on the paycheck.”Jill, who lives with her son in Alexandria, Minnesota, owned a gift basket company and earned just $15,000 a year. She noticed when she let potential buyers taste the food items, the baskets sold like crazy. Jill thought, Why not sell the food directly to customers in a fun setting?With $6,000 in savings, a bank loan and a friend‟s investment, Jill started packaging gourmet foods in a backyard shed and selling them at taste-testing parties. It wasn‟t easy. “I remember sitting outside one day, thinking we were three months behind on our house payment, I had two employees I couldn‟t pay, and I ought to get a real job. But then I thought, No, this is your dream. Recommit and get to work.”She stuck with it, even after her husband died three years later. “I live by the law of abundance, meaning that even when there are challenges in life, I look for the win-win,” she says.The positive attitude worked: Jill‟s backyard company, Tastefully Simple, is now a direct-sales business, with $120 million in sales last year. And Jill was named one of the top 25 female business owners in North America by Fast Company magazine.According to research by Thomas J. Stanley, author of The Millionaire Mind, over 80 percent of millionaires say they never would have been successful if their vocation wasn‟t something they cared about.1.

Go to the seaside, enjoy beautiful sunshine and soft breezes and let your mind and body both relax; hide away in a small town, amble on winding pebble tracks and melt into the romantic ambiance; or take up your backpack, go mountaineering, stretch your body and smell the fresh air…They all sound wonderful. But changing environments can pose thr eats to delicate skin. How can you protect yourself and stay beautiful through seven days of traveling? Here are some helpful suggestions.If you‟re going to the seaside:Typical resort: SanyaTypical weather: 24-31℃ with strong ultraviolet sunrays and fresh air.Warm sunshine, fresh sea breezes, and moist air make the seaside an agreeable haven from Beijing‟s dust. But excessive sun exposure can easily darken your skin, and of course most Chinese girls prefer fair skin. To prepare for a pleasing and beautiful sojourn (逗留) at the seaside take note of following:1. Night time skin careEven if you‟ve managed to block the sun in the daytime, give your skin a soothing rehabilitative (使复原的) treatment in the evening. Cool your glowing skin with a product like La Mer‟s newly released The Concentrate (50ml/RMB 3,700).2. Shine in your bikini.At the seashore, your body is more in the spotlight than your face. To become a bikini beauty, you need to take care of every inch of your skin. Exfoliate with a fine-grained scrub, which will not only let your exposed skin shine, but also acts as a deep cleanser to help prevent skin from darkening and roughening after too much sun and salt water.3. Control excess oil.Never try to control oil with foundation that will clog pores (阻塞毛孔) when combined with sun block cream. Gentle oil-control products do a better job.4. Hair care.Beautiful girls never use free hotel shampoos, they carry their own moisturizing restoring hair care products. Wash your face and hair with fresh water after swimming to get rid of salty residue (残余，滤渣), and remember to protect your hair from too much sun exposure.Recommended skin care products1. SPF30/PA++sunscreen products. HR Premium SPF40/PA++(RMB 620) protects your skin from ultraviolet rays.2. Soothing, moisturizing, and after-sun rehabilitating products. Olay Intensive Nourishing Emulsion (RMB 120) has natural hot spring microelements to give rapid relief to burned skin.3. Gentle exfoliating scrubs.4. Easy to carry oil-control products.5. Moisturizing shampoo and hair protection products.Tips1. Whitening is as important as wearing sunscreen. For dry skins, moisturizing products are a must. Laneige Water Sleeping Pack (RMB 150) is a good choice.2. For sensitive skins, Nuskin Aloe Vera Gel complements sun block creams. Washing your face with lemonade stops skin from darkening and is refreshing.3. Never use body sun block creams on your face. Use special facial sun block creams. For drier skins, Chanel UV Essential SPF45 (RMB 450) is nice, but Shu Uemura UV under Base DF (RMB 350) is much fresher.If you‟re going to a small town:Typical resorts: Lijiang, Yunnan; Zhouzhuang, Jiangsu; Phoenix, ZhejiangTypical weather: 11-25℃ with a lot of ultraviolet radiationAs depicted in Teresa Teng‟s popular song Xiaocheng Gushi (Small Town Romances), small-secluded charming Chinese towns are the scene of many romances. Pebble tracks, winding lanes and ancient low villas make romantic backdrop for lovers wandering hand-in-hand. To prepare for a romantic and sweet stay in a small town, take note of the following:1. Go easy on the make up! To match your light-hearted mood we recommend the minimum of make-up. Basic skin care to keepyour face healthy and glowing is enough.2. Wear flirtatious (俏皮的) colors for special nights.Liquid foundation in heavy glass bottles and powdered blush or eye shadow is not easy to carry. So we recommend sun-blocking pressed powder, two-in-one brow pencil and eye liners, and products that can be used on both lips and cheeks.3. Make-up removal.Remember to remove sun block creams at night. Try a moisturizing and relaxing mask, and we promise you a renewed glowing complexion the next day.Recommended skin care products1. SPF15/PA+sun block face cream. Its small size makes Freeplus UV Day Protector (RMB 190, sun block and moisturizer) a good choice.2. A multi-functional cosmetic case. Bobbi Brow‟ns ha nd-sized palettes (RMB 380), including a foundation stick, creamy concealer, corrector, and sheer finish pressed powder are convenient.3. Clear foundation. Maybelline Mousse White Stay (RMB 89) the mousse-like texture makes this foundation light, breathable, and easy to carry.4. Make up remover. Lancome‟s mild Gentle Clarifying and Cleaning Fluid (small set) is perfect for traveling and it does a go od job of removing all make-up thoroughly.Tips1. Apart from your daily skin care routine, traveling girls may also need protective lip cream, mascara (Maybelline is a good cheap choice), and fragrance (Try Anna Sui‟s fresh Secret Wish Eau de Toilette).2. For lazy girls, base creams are especially useful. Wearing just a base foundation cream is enough and saves the trouble of constantly reapplying foundation at romantic moments. Others may try creamy concealers and pressed powers. Adding blush (Watsons small tubes of blush are cheap/RMB20-30 and works well) will give a healthy glow.If you‟re going mountaineering:Typical resorts: Huashan, Shanxi; Huangshan, Anhui; Shennongjia, SichuanTypical weather: 10-20℃, a high level of ultraviolet radiation and dry air.Boys often complain that mountaineering girls with their disheveled (凌乱的) hair and no make up don‟t look attractive. In response to this, we recommend you use absolutely no make up except for basic skin care. But looking beautiful without the aid of make up isn‟t easy! With all your mountaineering equipment in your backpack, there isn‟t mu ch room for skin care products. The key is to choose the most important ones only, such as the following:1. Moisturizing products.Moisturizing and hydrating creams and masks help you become both sporty and ladylike.2. Sun block products.Even though the sunshine is usually not too strong in the mountains, you should take care not to be burned by ultraviolet radiation. Fresh breathable SPF20-30 sun block products are recommended.3. Facial cleaning pads.Easy to carry cleaning pads help you stay fresh and clean at all times.4. Soothing creams.Compound soothing creams can be applied onto the skin directly to reduce inflammation and help you relax.5. Lip conditioner and hand cream to prevent dryness caused by wind.Tips1. Make sure you have enough moisturizing skin care products, including a cleanser, cream, lotion and mask, even at the expense of make up products.2. Secret recipe mask: While your boyfriend is away finding wood for the fire, apply a mashed banana to your face and leave for over ten minutes. Although tiny allergic symptoms (red swollen patches) may appear right after you rinse (冲洗掉, 漂净) off the mask, your face will be dazzling after a sound sleep.__1.

Coubertin believed that sport and exercise were very important for the health and happiness of every man and also for the nation. He therefore tried, in 1892, to interest other Frenchmen in his dream of starting a modern form of the early Greek Games. His ideas were strongly criticized by many people, who did not really understand what he was trying to do. It is perhaps sad that the great work Pierre de Coubertin did to bring back the Games was never properly recognized during his lifetime. Gradually, however, people all over the world became interested in his ideas and at a meeting in Paris in 1894, with representatives from twelve different countries; plans were made to hold the first modern Games in Athens in 1899.Organizing the first modern Games, however, was not without problems. The Greek government was unhappy with the decision to hold the Games in Athens, as they had serious economic problems at the time and did not feel they were in a position to spend the necessary money. It seemed therefore that the Games would be finished before they had even begun. Prince Constantine of Greece, however, gave his support to Coubertin and the newly-formed Olympic Committee and other rich Greeks soon followed his example. Enough money was collected in Greece and abroad to build a new stadium and pay all the other costs.On 5th April, 1896, a crowd of over 60 000 people watched the King of Greece open the first modern Olympic Games. There were, however, very few competitors －only two hundred and eighty-five. Australia, Austria, Britain, Bulgaria, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA, were the only countries to send athletes to the Games and most of the athletes who did come had to pay for their own travel and other costs. There were ten sports in the first program －cycling, gymnastics, tennis, swimming, athletics, fencing, weight-lifting, rowing, wrestling and shooting; there were also other non-sporting events, such as concerts and ballet, just as there had been at the early Games.At the first modern Olympics almost all the gold medals were won by American sportsmen, but the most famous of all the first medal winners was a young Greek named Spyros Louis, who came from a small village in the mountains near Athens. It was he who won the long and difficult race, the Marathon, and gave the Greeks the national win they had hoped for.The Greeks would have been happy to keep the Games in Greece but Coubertin believed strongly that the Olympics should be truly international and would not allow this to happen. It was therefore decided to hold the next Games in Paris in 1900. Sadly, however, the Paris Games and the following Games, held in St. Louis, America, in 1904, were poor examples of Coubertin's dream and Coubertin himself did not even travel to the St. Louis Games. For these two Games were more like circus shows than serious international sports meetings. Only fifteen non-Americans went to the 1904 Games, mainly because the high travel costs prevented others from competing. Olympic events were mixed with other sports and events, and the Games were organized to continue over many months, so that as much money as possible could be made by the organizers from the selling of tickets.It was not until 1908, when the Games were held in London, that international rules and distances were introduced；until then the events had been the decision of the organizing nation alone. The London Games were far better organized than any of the other modern Games but it took many more years before Coubertin's dream of a truly international meeting of sportsmen became a reality. It wasnecessary to make many changes before the Olympic Games became as well-organized and as popular as they are today.Since 1896 the Games have been held every four years, except for a break during the years of the two World Wars. Gradually the number of competitors who take part in each Games has grown and so has the number of countries. In 1896, only thirteen countries were represented and only two hundred and eighty-five competitors took part. Today, however, as many as one hundred and twenty-two countries send athletes to the Games and more than seven thousand men and women come to the Games to take part. In recent years, the number of events has grown to twenty-one, eleven of which are also open to women.It is interesting that Coubertin, whose ideas were born in the late nineteenth century, probably never imagined that women would ever play a part in the new Olympics. Women had never competed in the early Greek Games; indeed, for many years they were not even allowed to watch. In modern times, the London Games in 1908 were the first in which women took a serious part －36 women came to the Games to compete. The first woman to win an Olympic event was the British Tennis Player, Charlotte Cooper, who won a tennis event in 1900. From 1908, however, the number of events began to grow with the introduction of ladies‟ gymnastics. Athletics events for women were introduced in 1928 at the Games held in Amsterdam. Today, women are as highly-trained and as fit as men. Although in almost every sport women and men compete separately, in horse-riding events they compete against each other and women have shown over the years that they are just as good.The International Olympic Committee, whose home is in Lausanne in Switzerland, is responsible for all the important decisions of the Olympic Movement. The members of this committee are chosen not by their governments but by members already on the committee and they are therefore above politics or group interests. Most of the members are simply rich men who wish to keep Coubertin‟s ideas alive. Not every country is represented, therefore, because this would mean more than 120 members and no decisions would ever be made.However, each country must form a National Olympic Committee before it is allowed to send competitors to the games and this committee must be recognized by the International Olympic Committee. At present, more than 136 countries have formed such a committee. The National Committees are responsible for organizing the national teams and for deciding which competitors to send. Competitors cannot choose to go to the Games －they must be chosen and this means competing against their own countrymen. It is not even enough to be the best in the country, for each competitor must be able to reach the standard expected for entry to the Games. These standards change each year as sportsmen and sportswomen improve. Some countries are not able to send all the competitors they would like to, even if they have reached the expected standard, because of the cost. The National Committee must then decide whether to send the competitors who have the most chance of winning or whether, instead, to send competitors to represent each sport even though some of them have little hope of doing well.Not only the competitors but also the team manager must be paid for. The manager is an extremely important member of the team；he is responsible for the competitors while they are at the Games and his job includes, for example, getting the competitors to each event on time and helping with medical or personal problems. Most countries ask the people for money to help pay for the costs of travel and training. A lot of money is given by businesses and companies who also give, for example, clothes, shoes and uniforms.The city where the Games are to be held is chosen by the International Olympic Committee；this is usually decided five years before the Games are to take place. Several cities may wish to hold the Games in any one year and the Committee decides only after it has listened to and seen the arguments and plans of each city. Once chosen, the city then has five years to prepare.1. Coubertin planned to hold the first modern Olympic Games in_________ in Athens.A. 1894B. 1896C. 1899D. 19002.

Move MoreMake it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends; mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think "move" in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha...Then do it !2. Cut FatAvoid the obvious fat-contained food such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i. e. pork, bacon, ham, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise (蛋黄酱)，margarine (人造黄油), butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine...Then be one!3. Quit SmokingThe jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children。

Passage 1 Beauty and Body Image in the MediaImages of female bodies are everywhere. Women—and their body parts—sell everything from food to cars. Popular film and television actresses are becoming younger, taller and thinner. Some have even been known to faint on the set from lack of food. Women‟s magazines are full of articles urging that if they can just lose those last twenty pounds, they‟ll have it all—the perfect marriage, loving children, great sex, and a rewarding career. Why are standards of beauty being imposed on women, the majority of whom are naturally larger and more mature than any of the models? The roots, some analysts say, are economic. By presenting an ideal difficult to achieve and maintain, the cosmetic and diet product industries are assured of growth and profits. l women And it‟s no accident that youth is increasingly promoted, along with thinness, as an essential criterion of beauty. If not alneed to lose weight, for sure they‟re all aging, says the Quebec Action Network for Women‟s He alth in its 2001 report. And, according to the industry, age is a disaster that needs to be dealt with. The stakes are huge. On the one hand, women who are insecure about their bodies are more likely to buy beauty products, new clothes, and diet aids. It is estimated that the diet industry alone is worth anywhere between 40 to 100 billion (U.S.) a year selling temporary weight loss (90 to 95% of dieters regain the lost weight).On the other hand, research indicates that exposure to images of thin, young, air-brushed female bodies is linked to depression, loss of self-esteem and the development of unhealthy eating habits in women and girls. The American research group Anorexia Nervosa & Related Eating Disorders, Inc. says that one out of every four college-aged —including fasting, skipping meals, excessive exercise, laxative (women uses unhealthy methods of weight control泻药) abuse, and self-induced vomiting. The pressure to be thin is also affecting young girls: the Canadian Women‟s Health Network warns that weight control measures are now being taken by girls as young as 5 and 6. American statistics are similar.Several studies, such as one conducted by Marika Tiggemann and Levina Clark in 2006 titled “Appearance Culture in Nine- to 12-Year-Old Girls: Media and and as a result have Peer Influences on Body Dissatisfaction,” indicate that nearly half of all preadolescent girls wish to be thinner,engaged in a diet or are aware of the concept of dieting. In 2003, Teen magazine reported that 35 per cent of girls 6 to 12 years old have been on at least one diet, and that 50 to 70 per cent of normal weight girls believe they are overweight. Overall research indicates that 90% of women are dissatisfied with their appearance in some way. Media activist Jean Kilbourne concludes that, “Women are sold to the diet industry by the magazines we read and the televisio n programs we watch, almost all of which make us feel anxious about our weight.”Unattainable BeautyPerhaps most disturbing is the fact that media images of female beauty are unattainable for all but a very small number of women. Researchers generating a computer model of a woman with Barbie-doll proportions, for example, found that her back would be too weak to support the weight of her upper body, and her body would be too narrow to contain more than half a liver and a few centimeters of bowel. A real woman built that way would suffer from chronic diarrhea ( 慢性腹泻) and eventually die from malnutrition. Jill Barad, President of Mattel (which manufactures Barbie), estimated that 99% of girls aged 3 to 10 years old own at least one Barbie doll. Still, the number of real life women and girls who seek a similarly underweight body is epidemic, and they can suffer equally devastating health consequences. In 2006 it was estimated that up to 450, 000 Canadian women were affected by an eating disorder. The Culture of Thinnesshalf times more ads and articles promoting weight loss than men‟s Researchers report that women‟s magazines have ten and one-h alf magazines do, and over three-quarters of the covers of women‟s magazines include at least one message about how to change a woman‟s bodily appearance—by diet, exercise or cosmetic surgery. uts Television and movies reinforce the importance of a thin body as a measure of a woman‟s worth. Canadian researcher Gregory Fo reports that over three-quarters of the female characters in TV situation comedies are underweight, and only one in twenty are above ing a average in size. Heavier actresses tend to receive negative comments from male characters about their bodies (“How about weared by canned audience laughter. sack?”), and 80 per cent of these negative comments are followThere have been efforts in the magazine industry to buck ( 抵制，反抗) the trend. For several years the Quebec magazine Coup de Pouce has consistently included full-sized women in their fashion pages and Châtelaine has pledged not to touch up photos and not to -thin models were banned from include model s less than 25 years of age. In Madrid, one of the world‟s biggest fashion capitals, ultras less than 25 years of age. In Madrid, one of the world‟s biggest fashion capitals, ultrathe runway in 2006. Furthermore Spain has recently undergone a project with the aim to standardize clothing sizes through using a most true to life measurement. unique process in which a laser beam is used to measure real life women‟s bodies in order to find theEthicsAnother issue is the representation of ethnically diverse women in the media. A 2008 study conducted by Juanita Covert and Travis Dixon titled “A Changing View: Representation and Effects of the Portrayal of Women of Color in Mainstream Women‟s Magazines” found that although there was an increase in the representation of women of colour, overall white women were -Improvement or Self-Destruction? overrepresent ed in mainstream women‟s magazines from 1999 to 2004. Selfand The barrage of messages about thinness, dieting and beauty tells “ordinary” women that they are always in need of adjustment—that the female body is an object to be perfected. Jean Kilbourne argues that the overwhelming presence of media images of painfully thin women means that real women‟s bodies have become invisible in the mass media. The real tragedy, Kilbourne concludes, is that many women internalize these stereotypes, h and judge themselves by the beauty industry‟s standards. Women learn to compare themselves to other women, and to compete wit them for male attention. This focus on beauty and desirability “effectively destroys any awareness and action that might help to change that climate.”注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1 上作答。

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Animals on the Move It looked like a scene from Jaws but without the dramatic music. A huge shark was slowly swimming through the water, its tail swinging back and forth like the pendulum of a clock. Suddenly sensitive nerve ending in the sharks skin picked up vibrations of a struggling fish. The shark was immediately transformed into a deadly, efficient machine of death. With muscles taut, the shark knifed through the water at a rapid speed. In a flash the shark caught its victim, a large fish, in its powerful jaws. Then, jerking its head back and forth, the shark tore huge chunks of flesh from its victim and swallowed them. Soon the action was over. Moving to Survive In pursuing its prey, the shark demonstrated in a dramatic way the important role of movement, or locomotion, in animals. Like the shark, most animals use movement to find food. They1 / 2also use locomotion to escape enemies, find a mate, and explore new territories. The methods of locomotion include crawling, hopping, slithering, flying, swimming, or walking. Humans have the added advantage of using their various inventions to move about in just about any kind of environment. Automobiles, rockets, and submarines transport humans from deep oceans to as far away as the moon. However, for other animals movement came about naturally through millions of years of evolution. One of the most successful examples of animal locomotion is that of the shark. Its ability to quickly zero in on its prey has always impressed scientists. But it took a detailed study by Duke University marine biologists S. A. Wainwright, F. Vosburgh, and J. H. Hebrank to find out how the sharks did it. ...。

快速阅读一题型介绍：快速阅读是由全国大学英语四、六级考试改革项目组和全国大学四、六级考试委员会所设计的《大学英语四级考试(CET-4)试点考试样卷》中的一种新题型，该试题具有明确的特点：它由两种题型组成，一种是是非判断题，一种是句子填空题，总共10分，占阅读部分的28.6%,占全卷的10%。
快速阅读理解部分主要市测试各种快速阅读理解技能，特别是测试浏览（skimming）阅读和查读（scanning）的能力。
二阅读技能介绍：1.浏览(skimming)浏览又被称为略读，目的是用浏览全文的方法来获取文章或段落的主旨；而快速阅读是只要词语或语句的阅读方法，对文章的结构有个总的概念。
略读文章的标题、副标题、段落标题和各段的主题句、关键词，而不是阅读文章的全部，如在略读每一段时，主要找出段首或段尾的主题句。
略读时精力须十分集中，不必去记忆细节；遇到个别生词及难懂的词句，均应略过，以求对全文总体意思的把握和了解。
为了更好地抓住全文的中心思想，要留心文章中某些反复出现的词语，这些往往与文章的主题有关。
略度的速度是平时阅读的两倍。
2.查读(scanning)查读又称检索、搜索,其目的是寻找特定的信息和细节。
查字典所用的方法就是典型的查读法。
查读用于回答细节题。
根据题干部分的关键词语，先在文章中找到大致的方位,然后在仔细阅读，确认信息。
在找到关键词之前不用读任何文字，更不用花费时间去试图理解每个句子。
查找关键词，是“找”不是从头“读”到关键词的位置，要用目光快速扫描、搜索，目光要自上而下、一目数行寻视与答题内容相关的语句，与此无关的内容要很快掠过，这个时候只要用的是眼睛，而不是大脑。
三题型分析：1.是非判断题是非判断题是一种测试考生快速浏览文本、搜索所需信息,并进行分类、推理信息的题型.在司机阅读中主要要求考生根据文章内容判断若干句子是否正确或无关.分别给出Y(YES)、N(NO)和NG(Not Given)三种可能,其答题说明为:Directions:In this part,you will have15minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet1.For questions1-7,markY(for YES)if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N(for NO)if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG(for Not Given)if the information is not given in the passage.判断题的关键在于如何理解新增项“not given”，请注意not given不仅仅是指在原文中找不到题目中命题的信息，即无关；还指依照全文的相关信息，不能的出题目命题所包含的结论，即不确定。
是非判断题所强调的，是根据阅读文章来判断给出句子的正误。
在四级考试中，是非判断题不仅要求考生能够准确快速的在原文中找到题目所给出的句子，而且要求考生仔细比较原文中的语句和题目给出的语句之间的差异。
所谓的判断，实际上是原文对于某一事物的一个判断（我们称之为判断1）；试题对于相关事物也有一个判断（我们称之为判断2）。
在考试中，我们实际上要做的就是确定这两个判断之间的关系：如果原文对于判断2提及的事物不曾提及。
或未做判断，说明阅读文章中未涉及这个话题的内容，判断1不存在。
则答案应该为：Not Given(未提及)。
如果判断1和判断2提及的事物一致，即判断1＝判断2，答案就是：Yes(正确)。
如果判断1和判断2意思相反或不一致，即判断1≠判断2，则答案应该是：No（错误）。
3.句子填空句子填空实在文章后提供三个结构不完整的句子,要求考生根据阅读文章的内容,将这些结构不完整的句子补充成完整的句子。
大学英语四级考试中的“句子填空题”，主要市要求考生用原文中的细节信息------最好是原词或原词的总结性概括，直接在所给句子的空白出填写单词，把句子补充完整。
试卷中说明如下：Directions:In this part,you will have15minutes to go over the passages quickly and answer the questions on Sheet1.For questions8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.句子填空所强是，补充完整的句子必须表达和阅读文章完全一致的思想内容，而从《大学英语四级（CET-4）考试样卷》来看，所要求填写的句子有以下三个特点：2.所填写句子的词数不超过5个。
3.所有需要填写的内容都在原文中可以找到。
4.题目的顺序和原文中答案出现的位置的顺序一致。
即第9题的答案应在第8题的答案之后。
依次类推。
四解题技巧：1.是非判断题第一步花一分钟略读原文，猎取信息在遇到是非判断题的时候，首先花一分钟的时间略读原文，以便了解全文大意。
主要是浏览对象:1)原文的Title（标题）、Subtitle（副标题）、Section heading（段落标题）和Illustration（插图），一了解文章的大概意思和所谈话题，对文章的结构有个初步印象。
2)如果原文没有任何标题和插图，就要阅读各段的首句以及尾句，以初步了解其各段大意和结构。
以四级样卷为例，我们就应该首先阅读原文中的标题：Title:Land fills,Section heading:“How Much Trash Is Generated?”、“How Is Trash Disposed of?”、“What Is a Land fill?”、“Proposing the Landfill”、“Building the Landfill”、“WhatHappens to Trash in a Landfill?”、“How Is a Landfill Operated?”。
从这些标题中我们就可以得知本文是一篇说明文，介绍的是一种垃圾处理设施——垃圾掩埋场(Landfill)。
第二步仔细阅读题干，确定关键词解答是非判断题的第一步，要求仔细阅读题干提供的句子核对各段大意了解的记忆，从句子找出可以用来定位的关键词。
例如Economist notice in the15th century,Japan had large cities,high literacy rates and even a futures market.判断这句话的正误，首先需要去文章中寻找和这句话相关的语句。
这句话中出现的数字15th century、专有名词Japan都可以作为定位使用的关键词，在阅读文章中先搜索这两个单词，找到它们，与题干相关的语句就尽收眼底了。
特别提示：怎样确定关键词——从问题里确定出来一个能表示题干的主要意思、信息含量大而且有明显的提示作用的词。
它们作为从文章中寻找答案的参照词。
在快速阅读解题过程中，我们所说的关键词并非一定是题干里最重要的词，而是以特征明显、容易辨认、具备重要提示功能为首要原则。
常见的关键词有下面几类：标题、副标题、段落标题和图表标题、副标题、段落标题和图表的重要性勿庸质疑，对文章的主旨判断特别有用。
下面结合四级考试样题为例具体说明：原文文章全文题干The passage gives a general description of the structure and use a landfill.(本文对于垃圾掩埋场的结构和使用作乐总体介绍。
)解析本题的关键词就是“general description”和“landfill”。
根据题干中的两个关键词得到的提示，考生只要通览全文的标题和副标题，就知道本文对landfill的结构和使用情况作乐介绍。
故本题答案为Yes。
比较明显的描述性名词这类名词比较显眼，特别是一些概括性的名词，与原文主旨有关的名词。
原文In most parts of the world,there are regulations that govern where a landfill can be placed and how it can operate.（在世界上大部分地区，对于掩埋场的选址和运作都有规定。
）题干In most parts of the world,the selection of a landfill site is governed by rules and regulations.（大部分国家垃圾掩埋场的选址受到规章条例的制约。
）解析本题的关键词就是“a landfill site”和“regulations”。
两词都与原文的主旨大意息息相关，考生根据关键词可以找到原文中的相关语句，想比较可以的出，正确答案为Yes。
副词和形容词以及其短语，特别是一些程度词、比较词这些词很多，重点如：like,as,most,most of,least,less,less than,much,many,many of等。
原文A landfill is not like a compost pile,where the purpose is to bury trash in such a way that it will decompose quickly.（掩埋与堆肥不同，堆肥的目的是加快垃圾腐烂的速度。
）题干Landfills are like compost piles in that they speed up decomposition of the buried trash.（和堆肥一样，掩埋加快了掩埋垃圾腐烂的速度。
）解析本题的关键词就是“like”以及“compost piles”,根据关键词寻读到原文的相关句，在文章的第10段，经比较可知与文章原意相反。
正确答案为No。
以人名和地名为代表的表示名称的词语例如4.Original news reel foot age shows the suffragette Emily Wilding Davison throwing herselfunder King George V’s horse at a well-known racecourse.本题的题干中的两个名字Emily Wilding Davison和King George V特别引人注目,可以将其作为本题的关键词。
