阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Today we’ll talk about reading.When we read a text,our eyes move across a page in short,quick movements.We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate(停留,凝视).Each time they fixate,we see a group of words.This is known as the recognition span or the visual span(视幅).The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person.It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text.In addition,it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
Unfortunately,in the past,many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page.As a result of this misleading emphasis(强调)on the purely visual aspects of reading,many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation.For example,in some exercises,words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second.One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point,taking in the words on either side.Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids(金字塔),so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive(连续的)fixation.All these exercises are very clever,but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words.Consequently,for these reasons,many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training,especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated(孤立的)words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.

A.lighting and tiredness
B.the length of a group of words

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India,my husband,Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers,including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in a strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out,although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.
6.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?
A.Go shopping. B.Find a house.
C.Join his family. D.Take a vacation.
解析:细节理解题。从第一段中的“...lookingforahouseformeandourchildren.”可知,Rashid到了悉尼之后,计划为家人寻找一座房子。
答案:B
7.The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from .
A.a friend of his family B.a Sydney policeman
C.a letter in his papers D.a stranger in Sydney
解析:细节理解题。从倒数第二段最后一句可知,女孩的父母是从文件的一封信中找到了Rashid的电话号码。
答案:C
8.What does the underlined word“restored”in the last paragraph mean?
A.Showed. B.Sent out.
C.Delivered. D.Gave back.
解析:词义猜测题。从最后一段最后一句“Westillremembertheirkindness...”可知,那一家人把Rashid的文件还给了他。由此推出画线词restored意为“归还”,故选D项。
答案:D
9.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.From India to Australia.
B.Living in a New Country.
C.Turning Trash to Treasure.
D.In Search of New Friends.
解析:主旨大意题。标题要与文章的内容相关,既要有高度的概括性,同时又能吸引读者的注意力。TurningTrashtoTreasure既能体现出本文出现的trash,也能体现出所捡到的文件的重要性。该标题中的treasure与trash相呼应,既概括出了故事的内容又能够引起读者的兴趣。
答案:C
