To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In _1_ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend_2_can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are_3_readers. Most of us develop poor reading _4_ at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency _5_ in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have _6_ meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. _7_ , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to_8_words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over_9_you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which_10_down the speed of reading is vocalizationsounding each word either orally or mentally as_11_reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an_12_, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate _13_ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, _14_ word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first _15_ is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, _16_ your comprehension will improve. Many people have found _17_ reading skill drastically improved after some training. _18_Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute _19_ the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can _20_ a lot more reading material in a short period of time.1) A applying B doing C offering D getting2) A quickly B easily C roughly D decidedly3) A good B curious C poor D urgent4）A training B habits C situations D custom5）A lies B combines C touches D involves6) A some B A lot C little D dull7) A Fortunately B In fact C Logically D Unfortunately8) A reuse B reread C rewrite D recite9) A what B which C that D if10) A scales B cuts C slows D measures11）A some one B one C he D reader12) A accelerator B actor C amplifier D observer13) A then B as C beyond D than14) A enabling B leading C making D indicating15) A meaning B comprehensionC gist D regression16)A but B nor C or D for17) A our B your C their D such a18） A Look at B Take C Make D Consider19) A for B in C after D before20）A master B go over C present D get through(Unit1)： 1)5): B C AAB 6)10): BA C C AKey: 1)5) B C A C B 6)10) D D C A D 11)15) A A C A B 16)20) B D D B C(Unit2)： 1-10 C CAAB CBAABKey: 1)5) D A C B A 6)10) C D B A C 11)15) B A D C B 16)20) A C B D D(Unit3)： 1-10 AACBADBDACKeys: 1)5) B A C D A 6)10) D C A C B 11)15) D B A C B 16)20) A C B A D(Unit4)：1)5): B C CAB 6)10): BA D B A(Unit5)：1)5): B A BCA 6)10): DC A B A3-5 CAB 6)10): BA D B A(Unit6)：1)5): A B CDA 6)10): AB B D A(Unit7)：Answers: cbdad, cdabc, dcdac, cdbccKey: 1)5) B C A C B 6)10) D D C A D 11)15) A A C A B 16)20) B D D B C(Unit8)： swers: bcabb, bdddb, ddaab, cKeys: 1)-5): CDACB 6)-10) ADDCB 11)-15) ABADC(Unit9)：Keys: 1)5) BADAD 5)10) CABBB Keys:1)5) A B C D A 6)10) B B C A B 11)15) A B C D A 16)20) B C D B A (UNIT3) Multiple Choices1) She to having heard about it.

With the memory of 9/11 still _2_ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on _3_ TV. Anyone who didnt know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made _4_ worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our _5_ to work together before everything goes to hell. Granted, some amount of delusion is probably part of the _6_ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work _7_, in the same spot-until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a _8_ of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at _9_ themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we _10_did about the dangers we face.

So what has happened in the year that _14_ the disaster on the Gulf Coast? In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the flood walls.

Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to _18_ the sick and the disabled. The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a _19_ out. However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken.
