詳析

1. A根據(jù)下文中“It's 6:15 and.. .”可知，這種自動電話每天早晨叫醒學(xué)生。

2. D根據(jù)下文“The recordings are made... ”提示可知，每天早上提醒學(xué)生起床的是電話錄音，因此該句理解為 “The 4 robo-calls’ are recorded...”

3. B句意為“這種錄音電話用來叫醒大約500名學(xué)生起床”。

4. D該句與上句之間構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。

5. C之前的這種電話主要用于通知家長由于天氣變化，課程有所改變。

6. A該句賓語是“遲到和曠課率”，因此fight against“抵制”符合句意。

7. B該句主語是Durfee High School,因此some other修飾的也應(yīng)該是school。

8. A理解上下文可知，這種自動電話是為學(xué)生提供方便的。

因此數(shù)字修飾的是名詞students。

9. D根據(jù)句中時間可知，這是每天第一節(jié)課上課的時間。

10. C根據(jù)上下文提供的信息可知，學(xué)校之前幾次努力控制遲到和曠課率都收效不大。故該句理解為“ After failing a few times,it hopes the new plan...”

   Reading is becoming more and more important in language learning and is still the most effective (有效 的) activity to get information.

   There are three possible ways to improve reading. The fastest is probably a speed reading class with good books and teachers. It is quite usual for a slow reader to increase two or three times his reading efficiency (效 率) during a two-day class with a positive atmosphere (氣氛) ，carefully picked texts and reading tests. 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.

3. What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “encouraging” ？

   A. 巨大的   B. 微不足道的

   C. 飛快的   D. 令人鼓舞的

4. Why is a speed reading computer program more effective than the other two?

   A. Because of its positive atmosphere,carefully picked texts and reading tests.

   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.

   D. Because it gives enjoyable and fast reading training.

5. What is the best title for this passage?
