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 21 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 22 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 23 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 24 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency（缺陷） 25 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have 26 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 27 however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 28 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 29 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 30 down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as 31 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 32 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 33 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 34 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first 35 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 36 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 37 reading skill greatly improved after some training. 38 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 39 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 40 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.21AapplyingBdoingCofferingDgetting22AquicklyBeasilyCroughlyDdecidedly23AgoodBeagerCpoorDurgent24AtrainingBhabitsCsituationsDcustom25AliesBcombinesCtouchesDinvolves26AsomeBa lot ClittleDdull27AFortunatelyBIn factCLogicallyDUnfortunately28AreuseBrereadCrewriteDrecite29AwhatBwhichCthatDif30AscalesBcutsCslowsDmeasures31Asome oneBoneCheDreader32AacceleratorBactorCapplicatorDobserver33AthenBasCbeyondDthan34AenablingBleadingCmakingDindicating35AmeaningBcomprehensionCcontentDregression36AbutBnorCorDfor37AourByourCtheirDsuch a38ALook atBTakeCMakeDConsider39AforBinCafterDbefore40AmasterBgo overCpresentDget through(2)Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news events (36) quickly over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the (37) of election in another country. An international football match comes into the (38) of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring (39) from distant countries within hours. Goods and provisions are on the way. Because of modern (40) like the satellites that turns around the world, information (41) fast. How has this (42) of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not (43) that the world is actually (44) smaller. It means that the world seems smaller.

It earned its ill reputation largely from those who sold strong wine during the days of 1919 to 1933, when a law forbade Americans to make or sell strong wine in any form.Chicagoans have a great pride in their city. They say it is of greater importance to the nation than New York. It is the center of American commerce（商业）and transportation. OHare Airport is the busiest airport in the world. 44 million passengers pass through it every year, and there are 2,000 take-offs and landings every day.Chicago is also a great inland port. It can send goods by oceangoing ships all the way to Europe via the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence Seaway. It can send goods by barge（驳船）, through waterway and canals, to the Mississippi and down it to the Gulf of Mexico.41Which of the following diagrams gives the correct relationship between Lake Michigan, Chicago and Illinois?42According to the passage, Chicago is more important than New York because .AChicagoans love their city more than othersBChicago is the center of AmericaCChicago is an inland port and has OHare AirportDChicago lies at the southern end of Lake Michigan43If we carry goods to Chicago from Mexico, we probably go through .Athe Gulf of MexicoMississippicanalswaterwayChicagoBthe Gulf of MexicoMississippithe Great lakesChicagoCLake Michiganthe Saint Lawrence Seawaythe Gulf of MexicoDWaterwaycanalsMississippithe Gulf MexicoBStyles are constantly changing. Fashions come and go. But few have had the popularity or permanence of the T-shirt. The well-known American garment shares a history of French influence and American daring.T-shirts made their entrance in the early twentieth century. But they took a bit of courage to wear. It seems the French kept their soldiers cool during World War I by giving them cotton knit undershirts（棉布内衣）. Meanwhile the Americans were hot and scratchy（刺激皮肤的）in their wool underwear. By World War II, the Navy and Army had learned a lesson from the French. The cotton shirt in a T shape became part of the uniform for all soldiers and sailors. After the war. T-shirts came home with the soldiers. By then, all the men were wearing them. But they remained out of sight, as underwear should in polite society.But Hollywood and rebellious young men know no rules. In 1951, actor Mralon Brando wore a T-shirt in the movie A Streetcar Named Desire. Everyone talked about it, and the T-shirt became a sort of trademark for him. Then in the mid-1950s, the young James Dean performed in Rebel Without a Cause. He wore a T-shirt too. Then Elvis Presley hit the screen in his T-shirt. It was too much for the young to ignore. Every boy in town wanted to look like James Dean and Elvis Presley. White T-shirt and baggy pants became the “cool”, or stylish, thing to wear.The 1960s and another generation of rebellious youth arrived. T-shirts and blue jeans worn by both males and females were their special fashion style. They dyed T-shirts different colors and put pictures and words on them. T-shirts would never be the same again.Today, the T-shirt has made its way to every corner of the world. Theyre worn by babies, teenagers, and senior citizens. They tell others what we like, where we have been, the things weve done, and races weve won. They can be old and worn, or new and fancy. They can be made of cotton or of silk. They are worn with skirts, pants, and shorts. And something that would have surprised people is that T-shirts are even worn with Tuxedo（男式晚礼服）.44The last paragraph is mainly about .Ahow T-shirts are worn by people of all ages.Bthe popularity of the T-shirt today.Cthe different kinds of T-shirts people wear.Dwhat the T-shirts want to tell us.45Which statement is true according to the passage?AThe first person to wear a T-shirt on the movie screen was James Dean.BThe T-shirt originated with the French military.CIn the 1950s, colored T-shirts with words printed on them came into style.DSeeing the movies, everyone in town wanted to wear the T-shirt.46From the passage, it can be concluded that .Afashions are often started by the military.Bmost fashions start with large groups of people who wear certain clothing for practical reasons.Cfashions often become popular when they are worn by someone people admire.Dnew fashions are usually worn by adults before they become popular with young people.CAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy-who could not have been more than seven or eight years old-replied. “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed（确认）my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development depends not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation（揭示）machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation（诱惑）, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.47According to the author, feeling depressed is .Aa sure sign of a mental problem in a childBa mental state present in all humans, including childrenCsomething that cannot be avoided in childrens mental developmentDsomething hardly to be expected in a young child48Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world .Athrough connection with societyBgradually and under guidanceCnaturally without being taughtDthrough watching television49According to the author, that todays children seem adultlike results from .Athe widespread influence of televisionBthe poor arrangement of teaching contentCthe fast pace of human scientific developmentDthe rising standard of living50What does the author think of communication through print for children?AIt enables children to gain more social information.BIt develops childrens interest in reading and writing.CIt helps children to read and write well.DIt can control what children are to learn.51What does the author think of the change in todays children?AHe feels their adultlike behavior is so funny.BHe thinks the change worthy of note.CHe considers it a rapid development.DHe is upset about it.DAs I approached the Gypsy camp for the first time, yellow, wild-looking, stiff-haired dogs barked. Fifteen covered wagons were spread out in a wide half circle, partly hiding the Gypsies from the road. Around the campfires sat women clothed in deep-colored dresses, their big, expressive eyes and strong, white teeth standing out against beautiful dark matte skin. The many gold pieces they wore as earrings, necklackes and bracelets sharpened their color even more. Their shiny blue-black hair was long and the skirts of their dresses were ankle-length. My first impression of them was one of health and vitality（活力）.Groups of small barefoot children ran all over the campsite, a few dressed in rags but most nearly naked, carefree and happy. At the far end of the encampment a number of horses, tied to long chains, were eating grass and of course there were the ever-present half-wild barking dogs. Several men lay in the shade of an oak t
