2013高考英语二轮（阅读理解）能力提升演练（02）及答案（*） so much to do, so little time. so much infonnation, so little time to read it. in this age there is more information than ever before. there is not enough time to read everything wewant to read. however, you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading. this article will not makeyou read 3,000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed significantly. you will also learn the basictechniques of speed-reading, along with the dos and don ts of speed-reading. when you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out. then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud. the stage you are now at is saying the word in your head. most people tend to read this way. saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously (极大地). how do you calculate your reading speed? the speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read. get some reading material, preferably a book. find out how many words are on the page. time yourself for one minute. start your timer and start reading. when the timer beeps, stop. if you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, and then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute. the first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. dont say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. later you will recognize clumps of four words or more to increase your speed. this is the first and most important step in speed-reading. the next step is technique. as with any other skill, speedreading requires technique. you should first be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface, such as a table or desk. next,you should be able to see the entire page. this is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. lastly, you should be focused. it s hard to read with a lot of noise. find a quiet place to read. this will help your understanding of the text. you need something to guide your eyes while reading. thats right, you should use your hand. remember when you were little, you would read using your finger. that is a great technique, only now youre using your hand to underline each line. move your finger smoothly across the page. no need to go rush, start out slow. keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide. this will increase yourspeed.the third step is practice. practice makes perfect. set time intervals (间歇). read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you are reading. 1. which of the following statements is true according to the text? a. now there is limited information than ever before. b. now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information. c. now people can read what they like. d. the less you read, the more time you will spend. 答案：b 指导：我们这个时代的信息比任何时候都多。在这样的时代里，人们只有提高阅读能力，加快阅读速度，花较少的时间，获得较多的信息。2. what is the subject discussed in the text? a. what speed-reading is. b. why we need speed-reading. c. now it is much information time. d. people should practise speed-reading in different kinds of ways. 答案：a 指导：本文所谈及的是快速阅读，包括为什么要快速阅读、快速阅读速度的测定和怎样进行快速阅读。3. the underlined sentence you should be focusedin the fifth paragraph means that a. a person should devote his attention to it while reading b. your feelings will be hurt while reading c. a person should smooth away difficulties while he reads d. you should pay attention to your faults while you are reading 答案：a 指导：从第五段中可以看出，只有集中精力才能有效地进行阅读。有许多噪音很难进行阅读。*结束words：325难度系数：建议用时：17分钟i wouldnt ask for a dressing room.my mom always asked for me.the evening before i had _1_risen from

rain with it，and although it was now only a little after two oclock in the afternoon the gray of a winter evening seemed to have closed upon the hills，surrounding them in mist.it would be dark by four.the air was cold，and for all the tightly closed windows it influenced the inside of the coach.the leather seats felt damp to the hands，and there must have been a small crack in the roof，because now and again little drips of rain fell softly through，polluting the leather and leaving a darkblue stain like a spot of ink.the wind came in，at times shaking the coach as it traveled round the bend of the road，and in the exposed places on the high ground it blew with such force that the whole body of the coach trembled and swayed，rocking between the high wheels like a drunken man.the driver，muffled(裹住) in a great coat to his ears，bent almost double in his seat in a faint endeavor to gain shelter from his own shoulders.the few passengers pressed together for warmth，exclaiming all together when the coach sank into a heavier rut(车辙) than usual，and one old fellow，who had kept up a constant complaint ever since he had joined the coach at truro，rose from his seat in anger；and，feeling with the windowframe，let the window down with a crash，bringing a shower of rain upon himself and his fellowpassengers.he thrust his head out and shouted up to the driver，scolding him in a angry voice for a rogue and a murderer；that they would all be dead before they reached bodmin if he persisted in driving at dangerous speed；they had no breath left in their bodies as it was，and he would never travel by coach again.【解题导语】本文描述十一月底的一个风雨交加的下午，一辆马车载着几名乘客奔驰在从truro镇到bodmin的路上，马车夫不顾乘客们的安全和抱怨，把马车赶得飞快，气得一位老人破口大骂，发誓永不再乘坐此马车。1what is the main image the author gives in this
