Reading can be fun,1       if your speed is not as fast as you'd like it to be. The average reading speed can range from 200 to 350 words per minute,but that speed can vary depending on your reading experience and the materials you are reading. It's also important to understand what you are reading―even when you improve your speed. Here are a few tips to help you become a better reader.

Adjust your reading speed as you read different materials. Slow down when the material is new to you or you need to understand the material fully. Speed up if you are already familiar with the material or 2       Another way to improve your reading speed is to focus on the key words in the sentences. A large amount of reading time is wasted on conjunctions,prepositions,or articles (i. e. a,an, the,but,and,etc.) .

Talk about what you've read. Some readers find that by talking about their reading with friends or fellow students,they are able to understand the material more effectively. Determine a reading schedule that works for you. You may find that you can't concentrate on the material for more than an hour (or a half hour) . 3      

4       it will slow down your reading speed. If you absolutely don't understand part of the reading selection,go back and review the material later.

Find a proper reading place,where interruptions or distractions will not disturb your reading. Practice. Practice. Practice. 5       Try out some of the above techniques,and then perfect the strategies that work best for you.

   A. Look up the new words when you are reading.

   B. Also select a time of the day when you are ready to read.

   C. but it can also be timeconsuming

   D. another good way is to analyze the sentences when the article is tough

   E. Don't reread right away;

   F. you don't have to understand it completely

   G. The best way to improve your reading speed is to practice reading.

閱讀使人增長知識,但沒有好的閱讀方法可能會使閱讀過程耗費時間,因此,讀一讀作者的建議是有益處的。

1. c考查轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。前文說到閱讀有意思,這里話鋒一轉(zhuǎn):如果你的閱讀速度跟不上,閱讀將很耗時間。選項C符合行文邏輯。

2. F考查并列關(guān)系。本段作者談到,對于不同的閱讀材料應(yīng)放寸曼速度。

F項"you don't have to understand it completely" 與其前的"you are already familiar with.…"構(gòu)成平行的并列關(guān)系c

3. B考查遞進關(guān)系。在本段里,作者的意思是由于你集中精力的時間有限,所以制定合適的閱讀計劃很關(guān)鍵。

4. E考查評注關(guān)系。對于暫時不懂的內(nèi)容,作者的建議是不要馬上去反復(fù)地讀,那會影響你的閱讀速度,應(yīng)之后再去理解。

5. G本句總結(jié)升華。最好的方法是練習,光說不練沒有用。選項與其前的用詞practice也吻合。

The concept of obtaining fresh water from icebergs that are moved to populated areas and barren regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life. 1,especially since scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food.

Glaciers (冰河) are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently. Three quarters of the Earth's fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice,2 that it could maintain all the rivers of the world for 1 ,000 years. Floating on the oceans every year are 7 ,659 trillion metric tons of ice stored in 10 ,000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps,more than ninety percent of them from Antarctica.

Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year. Icebergs are not like sea ice,3 ,rather,they are formed entirely on land,breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. As they drift away from the polar region,icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind,4 Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice,icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean. To move them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too difficult.

5,such as the prevention of rapid melting in warmer climates and the storing of fresh water in great volume. But even if the icebergs lost half of their volume in moving,the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced by removing salt from sea water.

   A. which is formed when the sea itself freezes

   B. Difficulties arise in other technical matters

   C. But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations

   D. Icebergs are not too much influenced by the temperature.

   E. pulled by subsurface currents

   F. a reservoir (蓄水池) of untapped fresh water so large

   G. People often get fresh water by removing the salt from sea water.

The typical conversation between Americans takes a form that can be called repartee (機靈的回答) . 1       Speakers take turns frequently,often after only a few sentences have been spoken.

"Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast that it almost makes your neck hurt."

Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time,as Nigerians,Arabs,and some others do. 3       Americans engage in little ritual interaction (禮節(jié)性的交流) .Only a few ritual greetings are common:"How are you?"

" and "Hope to see you again."These things are said in certain situations Americans learn to recognize,and,like any ritual greetings,are concerned more with form than with substance. That is,4       , no matter what the people involved are feeling or what they really have in mind. In many Americans' opinions,5      ,unwilling to show their true natures and ideas.
