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 【阅读理解推理判断】passage * visit iceland and youll enter a whole new region of experience. youll discover original nature as youve never seen it before, and the equally original people for whom timeless nature, ancient heritage and modem lifestyle coexist in harmony. the freedom to wander in the city or the wilds as you please is the key to the iceland experience. reykjavik, the capital of iceland, is just a part of the icelandic experience with its midnight sun or the magical landscapes mixed with ice and fire. reykjavik has a population of around 170,000 and offers an interesting mix of cosmopolitan (世界各地的) culture and local village roots. old accounts say the ancient gods themselves guided icelands first settler to make his home in reykjavik. he named the place reykjavik (steamy bay ) after the geothermal (地热) steam he saw, which today heats homes and outdoor swimming pools throughout the city, a pollution-free energy source that leaves the air outstandingly fresh, clean and clear. a beautiful river runs through the city limits, and so do fine parks and even wild outdoor areas. in the outskirts are places for horse trekking and golf. but against this backcloth of nature, reykjavik has a packed program of familiar city joys too: art museums, several theaters, an opera house, a symphony orchestra and concerts meeting the needs of the whole spectrum of age and taste. one must for all visitors is dining out on icelandic specialities, including delicious seafood, ocean-fresh from the mornings catch, highland lamb and unusual varieties of game. its purely natural food imagiriatively served to delight the most disceming(内行的)of diners. reykjavik is also famous as one of europes hottest nightspots, where the action on the friendly pub and nightlife scene lasts right through the night. in the evening, the downtown area filled with activity, reaching its peak on friday or saturday. the number of pubs, cafe, discos, and other night-spots in the downtown area is astonishing. there is arich variety of places to go. european-style cafes, nightclubs with live entertainment, dance halls for seniors, sports-theme pubs with big tv screens, cafes that offer over 100 types of beer, an irish pub, a spanish cafe, a french wine bar. walking distances are short downtown, and everything worth seeing outside the city center can be quickly and conveniently reached by bus. with its long, easy-going main street and large shopping mall, icelands capital is a great place to shop too with a bonus of tax-free shopping for visitors! be careful not just for souvenirs(纪念品) (especially woolens and handicrafts) but also for stylish consumer goods and designer labels at competitive prices.a full range of accommodations (住宿) is available in reykiavik, from international-standard hotels with good conference facilities, through smaller hotels and comfortable guest- houses, to a campsite in the citys biggest park. 1. it can be learned from the passage that reykiavik_. a. was named by the ancient gods b. got its name from the visitors c. was named by icelands first settler d. was na
