A
When Joe was about to start school, all signs pointed to success. Yet things turned out to be quite
36
. The fourth grade even found him at the
37
of the class. Joe struggled day and night but it did not
38
---until one stormy afternoon.
On that afternoon,
39
the math teacher started to introduce difficult concepts, dark clouds covered the sky and the storm set in. Hard though she tried to make the kid,
40
, the thunder won the battle for their attention. No one
41
the concepts except for Joe. He understood them and answered all the questions correctly. The teacher patted him on the back, and told him to go around to the other, and explain how he had managed it.
42
by his new found success. Joe moved quickly throughout the room. Soon math time was followed by the time for
43
. All children naturally drew
44
pictures, on such a day, except for Joe.
Since then, Joe started
45
. Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always
46
and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Joe?
On the day Joe graduated, he presented the teacher with his, most
47
possession---the picture of a bright yellow sun. On the picture Joe had written: This is the day I
48
my brightness.

[定文体抓主旨]:本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Joe虽然曾是个好学生,但是突然情况急转直下,虽然他努力过,但是没有成效。一场雷雨却改变了Joe的学习轨迹。在别的同学不能集中注意力的情况下,Joe却掌握了老师讲的所有的概念,于是老师鼓励他给同学们讲解他是如何做到这一点的。在一个阴雨天,Joe却看到了希望的阳光,而充满阳光的画也成了他最珍贵的记忆。最后一段点出文章主旨大意。
段落 关键词 大意推测
第一部分(para.1) all signs pointed to success; turned out;the fourth grade;struggled day and night 一个曾经很好的学生的成绩突然变得令人失望,四年级时成绩跌倒了谷底,纵使他自己也很努力。
第二部分(para.2--3) Math teacher;difficult concepts; dark clouds covered the sky;the thunder won the battle;except for Joe;patted him on the back;explain how he had managed it;drew pictures 一次雨天的经历。数学课上雷声使得同学们不能集中注意力,但是Joe却掌握了老师讲的所有概念。老师鼓励他给同学们解释他怎样做到的。这次成功的经历使得Joe有一种成就感,他画的画能够体现出他内心的变化。
第三部分(para.4) graduated;presented his possession;picture of a bright yellow sun;brightness 毕业那天,老师同学们看到了Joe珍藏的画:那幅明亮的太阳,给他带来了希望。
36.C。根据D。由上题可知,情况是令人失望的,四年级时Joe的成绩甚至(even)在班里排在了最后,所以选择bottom, at the bottom of意为“在…底部”。
38.B。本句中Joe struggled day and night说明他很努力,后面的but提示虽然努力了,但是没有见效(work),所以选B.
39.D。本句中表达的是在数学老师解释概念的时候发生的事情,所以用as引导时间状语从句。
40.A。根据the thunder won the battle for their attention可知雷声吸引了学生的注意力,也就是学生们不能集中注意 (concentrate),所以选A。
41.B。上句中说到学生不能把注意力集中在老师讲的内容上,所以没有人能够掌握那些概念。根据上下文推断,答案为B。
42.C。上句中提到只有Joe能正确回答这些问题,所以老师拍拍他的背,让他向同学解释他是怎样做到的。本句中说的是Joe受到鼓励,在教室里来回穿梭。由此确定选C。
43.C。下句中all children drew pictures可知数学课之后是美术课。所以选C。
44.B。在下一个段落中的the picture of a bright yellow sun,以及except for Joe可知别的孩子画的都是暗淡颜色的画,只有Joe的画是明亮的。bright是解题的关键,所以选B。
45.A。本文在讲述Joe的转变过程。前面提到的是Joe 的成绩是disappointing,而这里在讲Joe开始转变,开始提高,所以选A。
46.B。本题的解题关键是空后的连词and和curious, 根据and可知要填空的词和后面的curious同义概念的词,所以选择amazed,意为又吃惊又好奇,所以选B。
47.D。做好本题的关键是通读全文,才能悟出答案的意义。这幅充满金色阳光的画,对于Joe 来讲是十分珍贵的,因为它改变了Joe的学习轨迹。所以选D。
48.A。上文中已经谈到这幅画是Joe的珍藏,那么可知在图画上他所写的字是:这是我见到光明的日子。wake up to 意识到。

157.CACBC ADBBA DBDAC ACDBD: For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In
1
a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend
2
can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are
3
readers. Most of us develop poor reading
4
at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency
5
in the actual stuff of language itself ——words. Taken individually, words have
6
meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.
7
, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing(退回) to
8
words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over
9
you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which
10
down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as
11
reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an
12
, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined(预先确定的) speeD.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate
13
the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,
14
word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization(默读)practically impossible. At first
15
is sacrificed for speeD.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster,
16
your comprehension will improve. Many people have found
17
reading skill drastically improved after some training. 18
Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute
19
the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can

a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

参考答案及解析
1—5 DACBA
6—10 CDBAC
11—15 BADCB
16—20 ACBDD
1. D 本句意思是“谁如果想谋得一份差事”。applying需加for, 意思是“申请”;doing做;offering提供; 此三项均不符题意,只有getting (获得)适合。
2. A 本句意为 “快速阅读与理解的能力,是关系到成败的关键所在”。只有quickly与原意吻合。easily(容易地);roughly (粗略地);decidedly(果断地)均与原文内容不符。
3. C 英语中,阅读能力强的人称为good reader,反之,就是poor reader。
根据上下文的能力内容,多数人都属于poor reader,因此选poor(差的)。其它选项不妥。
4. B 此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成了看书慢的习惯”。因此选habits(习惯)。training (训练,培训);situations(形势);custom(风俗习惯)。
5. A 此处说的是“主要的困难在于语言的自身要素,即单词”。combines联合;touches接触;involves包括;这三项的词义与原文不符。而lies与in构成搭配,意为“在于”。
6. C 这里的意思是“如果单独地看这些词,它们并没有什么意义”。some有点;A lot许多;dull单调的。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词,合乎逻辑。
7. D 此句意为“然而遗憾的是未受过阅读训练的人就不会意群”。Fortunately幸运地;In fact事实上;Logically合乎逻辑地,均不妥。Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句义。
8. B 此句意为“在阅读时经常重读(反复读)”因此,选reread重读。reuse再使用;Rewrite改写;recite背诵。
9. A
what引导宾语从句。
10. C
scales down按比例减少;cuts down削减;此两项不合题意。measures不能与down搭配。只有slow与down搭配的意思“放慢, 减速”,在此合适。
11. B
one 指 “任何人”。
12. A
此句意为“训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关”,因此选accelerator (快读器)。actor演员;amplifier放大器;observer观察者。
13. D 前面的faster决定了应当选than,构成比较级。
14. C
make… impossible (使…不可能)。此句意为“快速阅读器迫使你加快阅读速度,使你再也不能逐字阅读,回顾前文内容或者默读”。
15. B 这里的意思是“速读最初会影响理解”,所以选comprehension(理解力)。meaning意义,意思,指词或词组表示的意义;gist大意,要旨;regression回顾。
16. A 与前半句中的not only相呼应,构成句式“不仅……,而且……”,只有选but。
17. C 本句中的主语是第三人称复数,物主代词必然是their。
18. B
take与后面的for instance构成短语,意为:“以……例”,其它三项不能构成搭配。
19. D 这里把受训之前与受训之后的阅读速度进行对比,因此选before。
20. D 此处意为:在较短时间内,读完众多的材料。master掌握;go over复习;present呈现,展现;此三项均不妥。只有get through (读完)最恰当。
[双向细目表] 词法 重点词汇: lie in; not only…but; take…for instance; get through.
