speed and efficiency of their reading. some proceed(前进) very slowly throughout; others push along too quickly and then have to regress (退回). poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it.a good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. he may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. in reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times, and pass more quickly over the remainder. a less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. but this pace may be too fast for really difficult reading material which requires special concentration at difficult points.a type of reading which needs careful attention to detail is proofreading(校对), in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. this is extremely difficult for most people since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. in fact, considerable practice is required to practise this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.56. the author claims that there is a difference in reading speed _.between the poorly educated and the highly educatedamong all readersamong different poorly-educated adults onlyamong different highly-educated adults only57. a good reader is a reader who _.concentrate on the key words onlychanges his speed according to the kind of textalways reads slowly but carefullyd. changes his speed according to his liking for the book58. what will a good reader quickly read when reading a novel?he will read every part of the book.he will only read the key words in the book.he will read the major part of the book.he will read the minor part of the book.59. what does the last two sentences of the second paragraph mean? a. a reading speed too fast for difficult material is just right for a non-serious book. b. a reading speed too slow for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult one. c. a reading speed too slow for a non-serious book may be too fast for a difficult one. d. a reading speed too slow for a difficult book is just right for a non-serious one. 60. in order to detect misprints in a sample print, a proofreader has to _.understand the text fullyhave practice in efficiencypay no attention to the general meaning of the textgrasp the shape and order of letters and words as he readsbwhoever has made a voyage up the hudson river must remember the catskill mountains. they are a branch of the great appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. when the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple and pink their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory.at the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village. in that village, and in one of the houses ( which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-beaten), there lived, many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of rip van winkle.rips great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. it could not be from lack of diligence, for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. he could carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot birds or rabbits. he would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. the women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. in a word, rip was ready to attend to everybodys business but his own.if left to himself, he would have whistled life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was always mad at him for his laziness. morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endless going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house- the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.61. which of the following best describes the catskill mountain?a. they are on the west of the hudson river.b. they are high and beautiful in this area.c. they can be seen from the appalachian family.d. they gather beautiful clouds in blue and purple.62. the hero of the story is probably _.a. hardworking and likes all kinds of work.b. lazy and hates all kinds of jobs.c. simple, idle, but very dutiful.d. gentle, helpful but a little lazy.63. ”henpecked husband” in the last paragraph probably means a man who _ a. likes hunting b. is afraid of hens b. loves his wife d. is afraid of his wife64. what would be the best title for the text?a. catskill mountain b. a mountain villagec. rip van winkle d. a dutiful husbandc“life is speeding up. everyone is getting unwell.”this may sound like something someone would say today. but in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in rome in ad 52 wrote it.we all love new inventions. they are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. but have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives? picture this: youre rushing to finish your homework on the computer. your mobile phone rings, a qq message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. now you have to stay up all night to get it done. how calm and happy do you feel?inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? perhaps because they lead a simpler life.one family in the uk went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. the grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons benjamin, 10, and tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. they had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.the grandmother, lyn, said, “it was hard physically, but not mentally.” she believed life was less materialistic. “the more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” she said. the boys said they found less to fight over, such as their computer. benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy（时髦的）, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions! dont be available all the time. turn off your mobile phone at cartain times of the day. dont check your e-mail every day.dont reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. it may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.65the passage is mainly about .aproblem with technology bimprovements of our life with technologycthe important roles technology plays in our everyday lifedmajor changes which will be likely to happen to technology66the writer quoted（引用） what a citizen in ancient rome said at the beginning of the story in order to .ashare a truth about life btell us what life was like long time agocmake us believe that new inventions always make people stressed.dpoint out that you

the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord (房东) can charge for an apartment. supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. however, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. they do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. as a result, new apartments are not built. many people who need apartments cannot find any. according to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city. some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. the federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. the minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. however, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. they will replace workers with machinery. therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage. supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity (尊严). because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages. economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. the predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. economists do not agree on some of the predictions. they also do not agree on the value of different decisions. some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions. 73.the problem of unemployment will arise if _.
