unit 1 cultural relics reading课时作业阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。a you do not need every word to understand the meaning of what you read . in fact , too much emphasis (强调) on separate words both slows your speed and reduces your comprehension .first , any habit which slows down your silent reading to the speed at which you speak , or read aloud , is inefficient . if you point to each word as you read , or move your head , or form the words with your lips , you read poorly . less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency (效率) . one is “saying” each word silently by moving your tongue or throat ; another is “ hearing” each word as you read . these are habits which should have been outgrown long ago . the beginning reader is learning how letters can make words , how written words are pronounced , and how sentences are put together . your reading purpose is quite different ; it is to understand meaning .it has been supposed that up to 75% of the words in english sentences are not really necessary for expressing the meaning . the secret of silent reading is to find out those key words and phrases which carry the thought , and to pay less attention to words which exist only for grammatical completeness .an efficient reader can grasp the meaning from a page at least twice as fast as he can read the page aloud . he takes in a whole phrase or thought unit at a time . if he “says” or “hears” words to himself , they are selected ones , said for emphasis .1this passage is mainly about . aimproving eye movement breading more widely cchanging poor reading habits dreading as fast as you can 2saying each word to yourself as you read .aimproves comprehensionbincreases reading speed cgives too much emphasis dreduces reading efficiency 3our reading purpose should be .ato understand all the words bto make fewer eye movements cto understand meaning dto understand the grammatical structures 4while reading , efficient readers usually . amove their eyes quickly btake in whole phrases or thought units cpoint at key words dread only important points for speed bdespite their name , the want family dont want much . they want enough money for a nice house and a holiday every year . but they dont want to be millionaires . they want to do well at their jobs . but they dont want to be the big boss . they do want to spend time improving their garden , visiting their families and taking their two kids , nicolas and leuan , to mcdonalds for lunch . but they dont want to be famous .the wants just want to be normal. thats why they are famous . they have been selected as the most normal family in britain . after a six-month search for the most ordinary family in britain , the wants were selected from hundreds of applicants .john wants a job in marketing for a food company , claire has a part-time job renting out childrens play equipment . john doesnt understand why they were chosen to represent ordinary english families . how are they normal ?that is not a bad question . nearly everyone does some of the things that the wants do .but very few people do all of them . there have been great changes in the social structure of british life . it is becoming more common for people to have children when they are older than the wants , and to have one child instead of two . a household with two children may be headed by a single parent , usually the mother . or perhaps dad and mum are still together , but not married . or maybe dad and mum are married . dad goes out to work and mum stays at home and looks after the kids . they have traditional values every weekend the whole family goes to church .“what we have here is not an average family , but a traditional family,” says cary cooper , professor of philosophy at lancaster university . “there is no such thing as a normal family anymore , in the way there was 20 or 30 years ago . of course the wants exist , but for what do we need to celebrate them ?” perhaps because we think normal families are an endangered species . examples of them have to be preserved (保护)to show future generations .5the wants were selected as the most normal family in britain because .athey represent traditional engish families bthey dont want much cthey dont want to be famous dthey want to be normal 6the following statements describe the great changes in british life except that .apeople have kids later than 20 or 30 years ago bsome children are brought up by a single parent cmost families go to church every weekend dits more common for families to have only one kid 7we may infer from the passage that . amost british families hold traditional valuesbtraditional families are becoming fewer and fewer cfuture generations are expected to study traditional families dtraditional families no longer exist in britain 8what might be the most suitable title for this passage ? aan ordinary family bfamilies of future generations ccelebration of a family competitionda normal but special family cto understand the marketing concept , it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling . not too many years ago , most industries fixed their attention mainly on the production of goods , and then depended on “persuasive salesmanship” to move as much of these goods as possible and then change them into money .marketing , on the other hand , focuses on the wants of customers . it begins with first understanding the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them . this eye-on-the-consumer way is known as the marketing concept , which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale , the makers and dealers first try to find out what the consumer wants to buy .this concept does not mean that business is friendly or that consumer satisfaction is more important than profit in a company . successful businessmen and producers , however , recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and satisfying customers . a striking example of the importance of satisfying customers presented itself in mid-1985 , when coca-cola changed the flavor of its drink . the non-acceptance of the new flavor by a large majority of the public brought about quick return of the classic coke , which was then marketed alongside the new . king customer ruled !9the marketing concept discussed in the passage is .athe practice of turning goods into money bthe customer-centered way ca way of making more goods da form of persuasive salesmanship 10what mattered most for producers before the marketing concept was widely accepted ?aneeds and understanding of the market .bproduction and profit of a company .csatisfaction of customers .dpreference of businessmen .11according to the passage , the underlined word “move” (paragraph1) means .asellbchange cproduce dconsume 12what does the return of the classic coke best show ?atraditional goods have a stronger attraction to the majority of people .bit takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public .cconsumers with different tastes are often difficult to please .dproducts must be designed to suit the taste of the consumers .dto lauder exchange program :gaia filicori was a student in my humanities class for the 2002-2003 year . from the first week of classes it was obvious that gaia was an excellent student and a very sociable young lady . she was always eager to join in class discussions . gaias ability to communicate her own ideas is a skill that many of us work for a very long time to achieve .gaia also has a deep curiosity about the world around her . the simple fact that she desires to spend a year in another country is proof enough . i have also seen her show this curiosity in class . she asked some of the most interesting and thoughtful questions of any of the students in her class . when others were content to accept a point , gaia would see from a new angle that none of us had tried .as a student in humanities , gaia was required to complete a group project . the project was to write a page for a humanities textbook using text and multi-media . it was a challenging task and gaias group was experiencing some difficulties . yet , they had an easier time of it because they did not hesitate to come to me with their problems and try to work them out . as a result gaia and her group had one of the more successful projects . the ability needed to recognize a problem and ask for help to solve it will be of great value if she is selected to be a lauder exchange student .galas interest in the world around her will serve her well as a lauder exchange student . the ease with which she gets along with others and the ease with which she makes new friends will also help her as she tries to learn in a foreign setting . i have no doubts that gaia would be a wonderful representative of the lauder program , stuyvesant high school , and the united states

bear anxiety , but stress seems to affect the immune (免疫) system of lower animals too . in one experiment , for example , behavioral scientist mark lauden , at the university of denver , gave mild electric shocks to 24 rats . half of the animals could turn off the electricity by turning a wheel in their cage , while the other half could not . the rats in the two groups were paired so that each time one rat turned the wheel it protected both itself and its helpless partner from the shock . lauden found that the immune reaction was below normal in the helpless rats but not in those that could turn off the electricity . what he has proved is that lack of control over an event , not the experience itself , is what weakens the immune system . other researchers agree . jay weiss , a scientist at duke university school of medicine , has shown that animals who are allowed to control unpleasant stimuli (刺激)dont develop sleep disorder or changes in brain chemistry of stressed rats . but if the animals are faced with situations they have no control over , they later behave passively when faced with experiences they can control . such findings make researchers believe that the experience or feeling of helplessness is one of the most harmful factors in stress . one of the most surprising examples of how the mind can change the immune reaction was discovered by chance . in 1995 robert ader at the university of rochester school of medicine experimented on mice to avoid saccharin （糖精）by feeding them at the same time with the sweetener and a drug that while harming their immune systems caused stomach upsets . connecting the saccharin with stomach pain
