Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog. When I was in the 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me. And then after each paragraph, she told me the general meaning of what we just read.

In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last ten minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for ten minutes staring at the page, pretending I was reading it. I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get into trouble for not being able to understand. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University? By the 8th grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was

What is the tone (语气) of the writer in the passage? A. Happy.

From the passage, we know ________. A. the middle-aged lady was warm-hearted

reading at a very slow speed. I got hold of all the speed-reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed-reading. Then I developed my own way which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.

I found that when you read slowly, word-by-word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the general picture. 6.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog. Learning a foreign language is not a matter of reading some grammar rules or some vocabulary words-although those are important activities not to be ignored. Acquiring (学到) a language is learning a skill, not a body of information. It's much more like learning to swim or ride a bike than it is like learning about the Second World War. That is, you must not only understand the ideas and have information at hand, but also make your body accustomed (习惯于) to using that information in physical (身体的) activity. In the case of learning a second language, the physical activity is speaking, listening, writing, and reading.

You need, then, not only to learn and understand, but also to practice!

Here are a few suggestions on effective practice/study techniques. 1. Make your mouth or hand do what your mind is learning. Study out loud. Go to the lab and work with tapes. Study with a friend, practicing speaking and listening. Try to write sentences or a short paragraph using the skills you have practiced with your own lips.

2. Study day by day. You cannot get by in a foreign language course by cramming (临时抱佛脚) at the last minute. You may be able to \vocabulary items that way, but you cannot teach your mouth to use them in sentences.

3. Sometimes go back and review \learning is cumulative (累积的). The new skills you learn build upon the old skills you learned in the past. The more you \循环) familiar information and skills, the better you will be able to take in new ones. 4. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Self-consciousness (害羞) can be a strong barrier to learning a language. Perhaps part of the reason small children readily learn languages is that they are not afraid of making mistakes.

11. The main idea of the first paragraph is______.

A. memorizing vocabulary words is necessary in language learning

B. learning to swim is quite similar to learning about the Second World War

C. understanding the ideas is more imp …… 此处隐藏：5298字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
