A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension (理解), will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principle (原則) apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook—but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage (百分比) gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned (有關的) with.
The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you night skim (瀏覽) through a newspaper at perhaps 650-700, while with difficult textbooks you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.
Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A., for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy’s War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim (自稱) that after twelve half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.
1．According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you .
A. only in your reading of physics textbook
B. improve your understanding of an economics textbook
C. not only in your language study but also in other subjects
D. choose the suitable material to read
2．Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. Those beyond (超越) one’s reading comprehension.
B. Those concerned with common knowledge.
C. Those without the demand for specialized knowledge.
D. Those with the length of about five hundred words
3．The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota is .
A. about three hundred words per minute
B. about two hundred and forty-five words per minute
C. about sixty words per minute
D. about five hundred words per minute
4．According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota?
A. You can increase your reading speed by three times.
B. No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.
C. You can increase your reading speed by four times.
D. You can double your reading speed.
5．Where do you think the passage is taken from?
A. The introduction to a book on fast reading.
B. A local newspaper for young people.
C. A school newspaper run by students.
D. The introduction to an English textbook.

A
United Nations Climate Change Conference
The U.N. Climate Change conference opened in Copenhagen, Denmark on Dec.7th with some 15,000 delegates and observers from nearly 200 countries attending what is called the last best chance for an agreement to combat(與……戰斗) global warming.
Their aim is to find common ground, including on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, promotion and transfer of new more eco-friendly technology and the necessary funding to make this possible, especially for the less developed and poorer nations. It also means coming up with long term vision and cooperation for the future.
Most scientists believe the warming trend is mainly caused by human activity, especially the use of fossil fuels(礦物燃料) and the cutting down of forests. Skeptics(懷疑論者) say global warming is part of a natural cycle of climate change.
In Copenhagen, experts and officials alike are putting the emphasis on what people and governments can do to cut the emission of greenhouse gases.
Scientists say a 25 to 40 percent cut in carbon-dioxide emissions is needed to control global warming. The European Union, China, and India have already pledged(保證) reductions. The United States is waiting for Congressional(國會的) approval for a proposal put forward by the Obama administration.
Barack Obama, President of the United States said, “Each of us must do what we can when we can to grow our economies without endangering our planet -- and we must all do it together. We must seize the opportunity to make Copenhagen a significant step forward in the global fight against climate change..”
Desmond Tutu, Archbishop of South Africa said, “Worldwide, we have the chance to start turning the tide of climate change, but only if all governments commit themselves to a fair, binding(有約束力的) and sustainable climate agreement in Copenhagen.”
56. From the first paragraph we can infer that___________.
people think that this conference is of no use
this conference is the last one to be held about the climate change
before this conference some countries fight against each other.
people expect a final agreement will be achieved
57. Which is NOT included in the aim of this conference?
A. To reduce the emission of the greenhouse gases.
B. To develop the agriculture and industry of the developed countries.
C. To cooperate with each other for the future.
D. To transfer new more eco-friendly technology.
58. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The United States refuses to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.
B. The European Union is waiting for a proposal put forward by Obama.
C. China and India have already agreed to cut carbon-dioxide emissions.
D. South Africa doesn’t think much of this conference.
59. What is Obama’s attitude according to his words?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Regretful.
60. _________is the reason of global warming according to the skeptics.
A. Human activity B. Fossil fuels
C. The cutting down of trees D. Natural climate change

A few years ago, when I was still in high school, I met a wonderful and warm teacher. At that time
in my life, there were many changes to adjust to, apart from the usual teenage troubles. My parents had
divorced, so 
my elder brother and I had chosen to stay with my dad. Due to the fact that he was keeping
the house, we didn't have to move.
During this 
time, my teacher took a special interest in me. Being my English teacher, she encouraged
my mind to travel to creativity I had long given up. She brought me out of the shell I built.
She became my mother, my older sister, my friend and my teacher. The one thing she couldn't do though
was to make me more girly as growing up with only my dad and brother made me a real tomboy.
Sometimes, I would be really immature(不成熟的), especially if she was scoring me less than others on
purpose. She knewk^s*5#u I could do better than what I was handing in and so pushed me to extend
further than limits.
When I finished school and then after college I was about to leave my hometowns she gifted me a
watch that every second, with my pulse, should remind me of the one person who will forever wait and
love me without reservation.
Time has passed and our friendship is distant, but in my heart, soul and mind, she is the closest I ever
got.
