It was the last day of final exam in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building stood a group of engineering (工程學(xué)) students. On their faces was confidence. Some were talking about jobs they already had;others were talking about jobs they would get. With experience and knowledge of four years in college,they felt they were ready and able to conquer (征服) the world.

   Happily,they walked into the classroom in line. The professor gave out the papers. And everyone smiled when they found that there were only five questions.

   Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. He looked at the worried faces before him,then asked ,“How many have finished all the five questions?”

   Not a hand was raised.

  “How many have answered four?”

   Still no hands.

   “Three? Two?”

   The students still kept quiet.

  44One,then? Certainly somebody have finished one?”

   But the students still kept quiet.

   “These questions you could not answer are very common in everyday practice. As you can know now,although you have finished four years of engineering,there are still many things about the subject you don't know." Then,smiling,he added: “You will all pass the exam,but remember一you have to learn more in the LARGEST university,do you?”

   導(dǎo)讀一群即將畢業(yè)的大學(xué)生參加了最后一次考試，卻不想看 似簡單的五個問題竟然沒有一個人能答得出來，教授的一番 話讓躊躇滿志的大學(xué)生們幡然醒悟：踏入社會，只是剛剛又 進(jìn)入了另一個學(xué)校而已。

詳析

1. B詞義猜測題。由第一段最后一句話they felt they were ready and able to conquer the world. ”可知，他們對 即將走向社會躍躍欲試。通過這一細(xì)節(jié)可猜測 confidence 意為“自信” 

2. C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段 “Some were talking about jobs they already had;others were talking about jobs they would get. ”可知，這些學(xué)生們正在談?wù)撝麄?已經(jīng)找到的和將要找到的工作。

3. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第三段提到“He looked at the worried faces before him... ”，由句中關(guān)鍵詞worried可知，這些 學(xué)生考試之后都很焦急。

4. C推理判斷題。教授給學(xué)生的這些試題并不難，都是走入社會后經(jīng)常接觸到的問題。由此判斷，畫線句子的 含義是“學(xué)生走向社會，要邊工作邊學(xué)習(xí)�！边@兒的the largest university其實就是社會。

5. D主旨大意題。綜合理解全文可知，教授主要通過學(xué)生完不成答卷這個事實，教育學(xué)生學(xué)無止境。因此本文 的標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是“So Much to Learn”。

D

However,this encouraging improvement often fades (消退) with time.

   A book about speed reading is the second method. Such a book usually gives speed and comprehension (理解) tests as well as ways to improve reading. It often has all kinds of methods to make you pay attention to or be interested in the text. All the methods need a lot of time as well as hard work from the reader.

    Finally,a speed reading computer program is probably the most effective way to achieve top reading levels. Computers give special exercises to improve reading efficiency. Higher reading skills got with a computer screen can change to reading from paper. Unfortunately the inverse (轉(zhuǎn)變) way does not work so well. Speed reading software (軟件) gives enjoyable and fast reading training,thus giving the practice necessary to break long-time slow reading habits. This is the task that reading classes and speed reading books usually can't give to the reader.

1. What is the most effective way to improve reading?

   A. A speed reading class.

   B. A book about speed reading.

   C. A speed reading computer program.

   B. Because it has all kinds of methods to make you be interested in the text.

   C. Because a computer screen is more interesting than a book.
