have a tendency to daydream when they have gone through three or four pages without remembering a word. one cure for this is to stop reading and seek some distraction（分心）on purpose, then return to what you were reading with renewed attention.perhaps the best general advice is: do not mix play and work. when it is time to work, work hard. devote yourself to your task and keep going as long as you can give the job full attention. you should be able to read for at least an hour or two without interruption. when you begin to feel that you are not getting as much out of your reading as you ought to, rest for a while. but if there is more work remaining to be done, make the rest period short. it is surprising how quickly you can refresh your mind by turning to something entirely different for a few minutes.what is critical is your reading speed, however. if you read too slowly you give your brain the chance to wander on to something more interesting especially if what you are reading is boring! so learning to read fast with high levels of concentration and comprehension is a far better use of time than wandering along at a slow reading speed, allowing all sorts of other thoughts to distract you.if this suggestion does not solve your problem, there is another thing you can do. form the habit of reading in the same place each time you read. make this place, wherever it may be, in the office or at the desk in your study, a place for concentrated reading. write your reports and fill out your crossword puzzles somewhere else. after you have tried this for a week or two, you will find that your habits will begin to work for you.28.if you cant put your heart into what you do, you should _ .a. give it up b. turn to others c. play while working d. do something different29.the main idea of the third paragraph is that _. a. reading is a boring job for us to do b. reading slowly is an interesting activity c. speed reading prevents us from distracting d. the difference between fast and slow reading30.which of the following can help you to improve the effect of your reading according to this passage?_a. having a rest. b. reading fast. c. reading in the same place. d. reading slowly e. reading carefullya. b, c, d b. a, b, c c. c, d, e d. a, d, e31.this passage is probably written for those who _.a. are good at reading and speaking b. like reading everywhere at homec. are tired of reading and writing d. are easy to distract while reading dchina is going green. in order to reduce air pollution and oil-shortages, car makers have announced their plans to develop hybrid（混合燃料）cars for the chinese market. toyotas hybrid car prius will be ready to drive in china this week. lets have a look at the new car.any vehicle is a hybrid car when it combines two or more sources of power. hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engine. they run at 99 percent of their power when the car is going at a steady speed. a specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra speed-up is needed.step into a prius, and turn on the engine. the first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. at this point, the cars gasoline engine is at rest. the electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 kilometers per hour. if you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.the computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. if you go over 24 kilometers per hour, when you step on the gas, you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.the electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. when driving at a high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries.any time you use the brake, the electric motor will work like a generator（发电机）and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. as a result, the cars batteries will last for around 200,000 miles. 32. which of the following pictures can show how the power system of prius works correctly?（wwheel of the car, e.melectric motor, g.egasoline engine, ccomputer, bbatteries） 33. what is the most important characteristic of hybrid cars?a. they are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.b. they have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.c. they use only 99 percent of their power to run up hills.d. they are much quieter than traditional cars. 34. we can know from the report that _.a. the batteries can be recharged at any time you wantb. using the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should workc. the gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powering the card. the cars batteries will last for around 200,000 miles without being recharged 35. the author writes this passage mainly to _.a. announce plans to develop hybrid cars for the chinese marketb. let people know how to save their gasoline when driving a carc. teach people how to drive a hybrid card. introduce a new kind of “green”

day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on. 36 but i can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.1. get out of bed earlierif you normally get up at 7; 30 a. m., try getting up at 7:00 a. m. that half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book youve been meaning to finish. 37 2. do the important tasks firstonce you get to work, get the important ones done first（not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones）. you can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones. 38 the urgent tasks will still get done, and you wont miss the important ones.3. reduce interruptions if colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. constant interruptions dont just eat up time, they also break your concentration. when youve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 39 wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.4. 40 a few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. when youre working, work. if your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. and if youre facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that its easier to deal with.a. stay focused on your work.b. take breaks when necessary.c. if you have an office door, close it.d. if you work like this, youll usually save time.e. would you want me to make your day longer?f. i cant magically make all your days 25 hours long.g. or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45）第一节
