most paragraphs of a passage or chapter have a topic sentence which expresses the central idea. the remaining sentences expand or support that idea. it has been estimated that between 50% and 90% of all expositive（说明的）paragraphs in english have the topic sentence first. always pay special attention to the first sentence of a paragraph, it is most likely to give you the main idea. sometimes, though, the first sentence in the paragraph does not have the feel of main idea sentence. it does not seem to give us enough new information to justify a paragraph. the next most likely place to look for the topic sentence is the last sentence of the paragraph. remember that the opening and closing paragraphs of a passage or chapter are particularly important. the opening paragraph suggests the general direction and content of the piece, while the closing paragraph often summarizes the very essence（精髓）.61. it is a good idea to skim through a passage quickly first _.a. at about 315 w.p.m.（words per minute）b. to get the general idea of each paragraphc. so that you can take in each work separatelyd. to make sure you get to the end at least once62. the topic sentence of an expository paragraph in english _.a. usually comes in the middleb. is most likely to be found at the endc. is most often at the beginningd. is usually left out in expository writing63. most expository paragraphs in english have a clearly defined topic sentence. in such paragraphs the topic sentence comes first _.a. in about 5% of cases b in about 80% of casesc. in about 20% cases d. very rarely64. sometimes we know the first sentence is not the topic sentence because _.a. it does not seem to give us enough new informationb. it is not long enoughc. it does not come at the beginningd. it does not make a complete sentence65. the closing paragraph of a piece of writing _.a. is not really very importantb. is often unnecessary repetitionc. often comes at the endd. often summarizes the essence of the passagec human beings are the most intelligent of all animals because we are gifted with the ability to think and reason logically. scientists and even common people with special intelligence have made a lot of inventions and contributions to modern lifestyle in the past. houses have been the most popular area for discoveries and inventions in the past and even now. many household items have been the result of inventions of people who desired better functioning of the existent products. every individual has intelligence and if it is used properly for the right purpose it leads to invention of a new tool or device. many new household inventions are made almost every day and there are specific companies, which particularly keep a record of all these inventions. a lot of inventions have been made recently in the household field. these products are patented（专利的）and have trade mark licenses（许可）. the patented sliding cinch is a very simple but effective method to prevent shoulder stress and injury for those who work before computers all day long. vanity pc is a type of computer furniture that specifically hides all the computer wires and keeps a clean and good look. all the outdoor dust, mud and snow can be kept out of the house by installing（安装）the dirt drain（排水管）at the entrance of the door. another important invention is the automatic toilet night-light, in which a small light starts when the lid of the toilet seat is opened and closes as soon as the lid（盖子）is closed. these are some of the new household inventions invented mostly by common people. thus, a variety of new household items are invented every day, which helps in a better functioning of household chores（家务）and in a more useful manner.66. the first paragraph is intended to _.a. stress the importance of inventionsb. introduce the topic of the articlec. show the advantages of modern lifestyled. tell the differences between human beings and animals67. according to the passage, people make house inventions to _.a. earn more money and gain awardsb. accumulate their wealthc. improve the present living conditionsd. meet the new demands of new science68. it can be inferred that the sliding cinch is used to _.a. prevent your shoulder from being over-
