Passage 3

For many people today，reading is no longer relaxation．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 1 a job or advancing in one，the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure．Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers．Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age，and never get over them．The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself - words．Taken individually，words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased，sentences and paragraphs． 7 ，however，the untrained reader does not read groups of words．He laboriously reads one word at a time，often regressing to 8 words or passages．Regression，the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read，is a common bad habit in reading．Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization - sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads．

To overcome these bad habits，some reading clinics use a device called an 12 ，which moves a bar（or curtain）down the page at a predetermined speed．The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable，in order to \．The accelerator forces the reader to read fast， 14 word-by-word reading，regression and subvocalization，practically impossible．At first 15 is sacrificed for speed．But when you learn to read ideas and concepts，you will not only read faster， 16 your comprehension will improve．Many people have found 17 reading skill drastically improved after some training． 18 Charlce Au，a business manager，for instance，his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 19 the training，now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute．He is delighted that he can 20 a lot more reading material in a short period of time． 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 题号 答案 D 11 B A 12 A

一、 阅读理解题练习题 Passage 1

C．after

C．present

It was unfortunate that，after so trouble-free an arrival，he should stumble（磕绊）in the dark as he was rising and severely twist his ankle on a piece of rock．After the first shock the pain became bearable，and he gathered up his parachute（降落伞）before limping into the trees to hide it as best as he could．The hard ground and the deep darkness made it almost impossible to do this efficiently．The pine needles lay several inches deep，so he simply piled them on top of the parachute，cutting the short twigs that he could feel around his legs，and spreading them on top of the needles．He was not sure if it would stay buried，but he could do nothing else about it．

After limping for some distance from his parachute he began to make his way downhill through the trees．He had to find out where he was，and then decide what to do next．But walking downhill on a rapidly swelling ankle soon proved to be almost beyond his power．He dragged his legs with increasing difficulty，walking in long side-way movements across the slope，which meant taking more steps but less painful ones．By the time he cleared the trees and reached the valley，day was breaking．Mist hung in soft sheets across the fields．Small cottages and farm houses grouped around a village church，the spire（尖顶）on its top pointing high into the cold winter air to greet the morning．

“I can’t go much further，”John Harding thought．“Someone is bound to find me．What can I do？I must get a rest before I go on．They’ll look for me high up there in the mountains where the plane crashed．I bet they’re out looking for it already．They’re sure to find the chute in the end．So they’ll know I wasn’t killed and must be somewhere．They’ll think I’m hiding up there in the trees and rocks and look for me there．I’ll go down to the village．If I’m lucky my foot will be good enough by the evening and I can manage to get to the border．”

He could hear the faint echoes of voices far above him on the mountainside，startling him after great silence．Looking up，he saw lights like pinpoints moving across the face of the mountain in the gray light．The road was deserted，and he struggled along，still almost invisible in the first light，easing his aching foot wherever he could，avoiding stones and rough places，and limping quietly and painfully towards the village．He reached the church at last．A great need for peace almost drew him inside，but he knew that would not do．Instead，he limped along its walls towards a very old building

a short distance from the church．It seemed to have stood there forever，as if it had grown out of the hillside．It had the same air of timelessness as the church．John Harding pushed open the heavy wooden door and slipped inside．

1．In spite of his bad ankle Harding was able to _____．

A．walk in a direction that was less steep

B．bear the pain without changing direction

C．bury his parachute perfectly in a safe place

D．check the surroundings and locate where he was

2．Why was his attention drawn to the mountain again？_____

A．He was surprised to notice some torches moving around． B．He was astonished to hear some voices far away．

C．He could see the searchers’ faces in spite of the poor light． D．He could feel a shower of small rocks falling from above． 3．Which of the following do you think John Harding was？_____

A．An escaped prisoner trying to hide away． B．A criminal on the run from the police． C．An airman landing in an enemy country area． D．A spy in search of an important person． 4．Harding’s plan was _____．

A．to cross the border as soon as possible C．to have his injured foot treated 5．We can tell from the story that _____． A．Harding had a cool head in emergency

C．the plane crash took place at dawn

Passage 2

The government may control prices when there is a problem such as rapidly increasing rents or a rise in the cost of living．When the government controls prices，there is no longer a normal relationship between the price of a product and the quantity consumers will buy．Government controls may help in an emergency（紧急情况）．However，some economists believe that controls can have negative effects over a long period of time．

In cities with rent control，the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord（房主）can charge for an apartment．Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments．Their rent cannot increase；therefore，they are not in danger of losing their homes．However，the critics（批评者）say that after a long time，rent control may have negative effects．Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits．Therefore，they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits．They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled．As a result，new apartments are not built．Many people who need apartments cannot find any．According to the critics，the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city．

Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about rent control，price control and the minimum wage．The predictions may be correct only if other things are equal． Economists do not agree on some of the predictions．They also do not agree on the value of different decisions．Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it．Economists do agree，however，that there are no simple answers to economic questions．

B．to rest in the church as long as he could D．to stay in the village for the day B．Harding was strongly against war D．it was unwise to bury the chute

6．According to Paragraph 1，price control _____．

A．does more harm than good B．is good in every sense C．is necessary but harmful in the long term D．should be avoided 7．It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _____．

A．thanks to rent control，it would be easier for many to find apartments

B．landlords may take back their apartments if the rent is too low

C．the tighter the rent control is，the fewer new apartments will be built

D．landlords will not invest in other businesses after price control is approved by the government 8．Which of the following do all economists agree on？_____

A．Controls can have negative effects over a long period of time． B．The government must take measures to control rent increase．

C．The maximum rent system protects people who don’t have their own houses． D．Economic questions are difficult to deal with．

9．The attitude of the author to price control is _____． A．subjective B．objective 10．The purpose of this passage is to _____．

A．argue
