Whether they’re project documents, trade journals, blogs, business books or ebooks, most of us read regularly as part of our jobs, and to develop our skills and knowledge.
But do you ever read what should be a useful document, yet fail to gain any helpful information from it? Or, re-read something several times to get a full understanding of the content? If so, look at the following strategies (策略) that will help you read more effectively.
●Think About What You Want to Know
Before you start reading anything, ask yourself why you’re reading it. Are you reading with a purpose, or just for pleasure? What do you want to know after you’ve read it? Once you know your purpose, you can examine the resource (資源) to see whether it’s going to help you.
Ask yourself whether the resource meets your needs, and try to work out if it will give you the right amount of knowledge. If you think that the resource isn’t consummate, don’t waste time reading it.
●Know How Deeply to Study the Material
Where you only need the shallowest knowledge of a subject, you can skim material. Here you read only chapter headings, introductions, and summaries.
If you need a moderate (中等的) level of information on a subject, then you can scan the text. This is when you read the chapter introductions and summaries in detail. You can then speed read the contents of the chapters, picking out and understanding key words and concepts.
Only when you need full knowledge of a subject is it worth studying the text in detail (細(xì)節(jié)). Here it’s best to skim the material first to get an overview of the subject. This gives you an understanding of its structure, into which you can then fit the detail gained from a full reading of the material.
小題1:Why should we know our purpose before reading?
A．Because we can develop our skills and knowledge.
B．Because we can get a full understanding of the content.
C．Because we can avoid re-reading something several times.
D．Because we can check it out whether the material will be helpful.
小題2:What does the underlined word “consummate” in the 5th paragraph mean?
A．Legal.B．Natural.C．Perfect.D．Formal.
小題3: According to the depth to study the material, how many reading strategies are mentioned?
A．2.B．3.C．4.D．5.
小題4:The best title for this passage should be ______.
A．Reading Strategies
B．Think About What You Want to Know
C．Know How Deeply to Study the Material
D．How to Develop our Skills and Knowledge

It is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does ------.When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply stimulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.
小題1:From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.
A．everyone’s incomes rise
B．money will hold its value

D．money constantly loses its value

A．inflation maybe still be a problem

In an age dominated （控制的） by new media and the Internet, there are so many alternative ways of learning．Gone are the days when, if we couldn't make it into a classroom, the only real option was to pick up a book, or when audio materials consisted of bad quality cassettes or sporadic（時有時無的） radio and TV programmes．With the appearance of broadband access to the web, we have a whole new learning domain （統(tǒng)領(lǐng)） at our fingertips．Sophisticated learning materials in the form of text or high-quality audio are now available at the touch of a button, and tests and assignments can be submitted （進(jìn)行） and marked online．Questions and learning, studying away from the classroom has never seemed easier．Yet many teachers would argue that face-to-face contact between teachers and students is an essential part of the language learning experience．Enter the concept of blended （融合的） learning, an approach to education which seeks to combine the best of new technology and actual human contact．
Advocates of blended learning argue that an approach to study which combines the benefits of new technology with the best aspects of face-to-face （often abbreviated to F2F） teaching, will achieve better results．For example, there are some aspects of study, like practical sessions, dealing with more subjective questions, or meeting the needs of an individual student, which require face-to-face human interaction, whereas the more mechanical aspects of learning, such as answers to clear-cut questions, can be managed simply and effectively in a remote environment using new technology．
Blended learning approaches have proven especially appropriate in language learning．For example, in an ELT （English Language Teaching ） environment, a simple scenario （劇情概要） might be a classroom session where a teacher asks a group of students to use a wiki to create a text． Students then go away and compose and edit the text remotely．During the next F2F session, the teacher express his opinion about their work．
小題1:What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Blended learning is an effective learning approach．
B．More and more people will use Internet-based learning materials,
C．There are so many different ways of learning for people to choose in today's world．
D．Blended learning methods have proven to be effective except in language learning．
小題2:Which of the following aspects of study doesn't require face-to-face interaction between teachers and students?
A．Practical sessions．
B．Tackling the needs of an individual student．
C．Dealing with more subjective questions．
D．Providing answers to clear-cut questions．
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that ______．
A．the radio and TV in the past were of poor quality
B．people do not get audio materials through cassettes nowadays
C．it was not convenient for people to leam outside a classroom in the past
D．it was difficult to find a classroom with good learning conditions in the old days
小題4:Which of the following can be best describe the writer's attitude towards blended learning?
A．Critical．B．Objective （客觀的） ．
C．Supportive．D．Neutral （中立的） ．

The united States has about 475,000 school buses — all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.
Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled. Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts may end any bus service not required by law.
Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.
But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.
小題1:What does this passage mainly tell us?
A．High fuel prices’ influences on school buses.
B．New measures to transport school students.
C．The safest form of student transportation.
D．The origin of Walk to School Day.
小題2:In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____.
A．changing some bus routes
B．stopping some bus routes
C．a(chǎn)sking parents to drive children to and from school
D．using other types of fuels
小題3:The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to ____.
A．save more fuels and diesel for the country
B．keep the children safe on their way to school
C．make the children live a simple life
D．keep the children healthy and the environment clean

If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival. Many people think that   preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but in fact eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction(反應(yīng)) to fear.
Finding a hiding place
Unnecessary labor (勞動) will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys--- cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.
Signal(發(fā)信號) rescuers for help
The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible--- it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket ( a special blanket for traveling ), build three smoky fires and put your blanket ---gold side facing out --- on the ground.
Do not walk away
It will make finding you more difficult , as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it. If you get frostbitten(凍傷) , do not rewarm the affected area until you are out of danger.
You can walk on frostbitten(凍傷) feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.
小題1: When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you _____.
A．take a space blanket with youB．do more physical labor
C．try to find a car immediatelyD．walk as far as possible
小題2: According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they ______
A．do not take enough equipmentB．stay in the middle of the mountain
C．do not keep themselves warmD．stay in a snow-covered area
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Don’t travel by yourselfB．Mountain traveling is dangerous
C．Don’t get frightened in dangerD．Avoid going to unfamiliar places
小題4: Which statement is not true according to the passage?
A．If lost in the mountains, you must try to find a way out quickly.
B．Stay out of the valleys when looking for a hiding place
C．The best time to signal rescuers is during the day
D．With a space blanket, you can put it on the ground---gold side facing out

If you are planning on traveling, there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (出發(fā)) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at he airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (現(xiàn)金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination(目的地) before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome of Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
小題1:Where is the writer most probably from?
A．BritainB．The USAC．ItalyD．Greece
小題2:When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he      .
A．a(chǎn)sked the driver to give him a free ride
B．offered to pay in pounds
C．gave the driver some fake(假) money
D．tried to pay by credit card
小題3:Generally, in May the weather in London is     .
A．warm and dryB．cold and dry
C．hot and wetD．cool and rainy
小題4:The writer mainly tells us      .
A．how to make life easier
B．how to be well prepared for a trip
C．how to enjoy ourselves on trip
D．how to schedule our trip
