Part II Reading Comprehension
掌握教材中每单元中及 Test Yourself 中的阅读理解题
Passage 1
When I was in 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn’t understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me, and then after each paragraph, she summarized what we just read.
In class, I tried to hide the fact that I could’t read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class starting at the page, pretending I was reading it―I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get in trouble for not being able to comprehend. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University? By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at an incredibly slow rate. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed reading. Then I developed my own system which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.
I found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the world, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your concentration actually increases and your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the overall picture.

a.she often forget her school reading assignments

3The writer’s reading ability improved a great deal mainly because _____
a.she entered Cornell University

c.her mother managed to help her out
d.she developed her own way of reading
4From her own experience, the writer found that ________
a.one’s comprehension drops if one reads too slowly
b.in order to understand better, one has to read slowly
c.one tends to neglect the detailed information if one reads fast

Passage 2
If we were asked exactly what were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.
Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about if from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ‘remembered history’. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.
6. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?
a.“Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.
b.Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.
c.A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions
d.Where there are no written records, there is no history
7. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ______
a.there was nothing worth being written down at that time
b.the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record
c.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire
d.the people there did not know how to write
8. “Remembered history” refers to________
a.history based on a person’s imagination
b.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth
c.songs and dances about the most important events
d.both b and c
9. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______
a. it is written down b. no written account is available
c. it proves to be true d. people are interested in it
10. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ______
a.kept a written record of every past event
b.not burnt their written records in wars
c.told exact stories of the most important happenings
d.made more songs and dances
6-10 d d d b a
Passage 3
Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 116; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.
Nei Hunt, one of the prize-winner, was called “Sunshine Superman” by one newspaper writing about his design. It’s important, when people study the weather, to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Nei’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power. With his prize of ￡100, Nei plans to carry on inventing.
You can do so much with animation (动画片). Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures with appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of cliff. Quite a warning!
The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power”!
11.______was carried out recently in Britain.
a. A competition among schoolchildren
b. A competition in industry
c. A competition called British Designers for Tomorrow
d. A competition for 11 prize-winners
12.The aim of the competition was _______.

13. What is Nei Hunt? ______
a. A schoolboy
b. A teacher
c. A schoolgirl
d. A designer
14.Nei Hunt was called “Sunshine Superman” because____
a. he suggested the ways of using solar power
b. he designed a more accurate sunshine recorder
c. he was able to record direct sunshine accurately
d. he invented the way of using solar energy
15. Who invented animated road signs?______

b. Simon West
