原文翻譯及答案解析
你能想像沒有炸薯條的生活嗎?當今薯條很受歡迎。但是過去並非如此。五千年前土豆生長在南美。但是直到兩百年前土豆才在別的地方流行起來。
十六世紀，西班牙人把土豆從南美帶到了歐洲。但是歐洲人們並不喜歡這種奇怪的蔬菜。一些人認為如果你吃土豆，你的皮膚會看起來像土豆。另一些人無法相信植物長在地下的那一部分也可以吃。因此他們吃土豆的葉子。因為土豆葉子有毒，所以他們都病倒了。十九世紀，世界其他地方的人開始吃土豆。在愛爾蘭，土豆成了人們的主食。然後，在1845年，一種疾病殺死了愛爾蘭所有的土豆。這使得兩百萬人死於飢餓。
當今，在每個國家都有土豆做成的菜餚。德國人吃土豆沙拉，美國人吃烤土豆。當然法國人發明了薯條，而現在薯條在全世界都很受歡迎。
59.A【精析】細節題。題干意為“土豆是什麼時候開始在南美以外的地方流行的?”從本文第一段的最後一句“But they only became popular in other places two hundred years ago.”可知，直到兩百年前土豆才在別的地方流行起來，故A正確。
60.C【精析】細節題。題干意為“為什麼某些歐洲人最初拒絕吃土豆?”從文章第二段第三句“some people thought that if you ate pota—toes your skin would look like tlle skin of a potato.”可知，一些人認為如果你吃土豆，你的皮膚會看起來像土豆，故C正確。
61.A【精析】細節題。題干意為“在1845年，愛爾蘭為什麼會有兩百萬人死去?”從文章第三段第三、四句“Then，in l845，a disease killedall tlle potmoes in Ireland.Two million people died of hunger.”可知，1845年，一場疾病殺死了愛爾蘭所有的土豆，這使得兩百萬人死於飢餓，故A正確。
62.B【精析】推理題。題干意為“從最後一段，我們可以得出什麼?”由最後一段可知，土豆在各個國家都是一道菜，但是做法不同，故B正確。

There are a growing number of pet owners who feed pets on raw, which means, "uncooked"
meat and bones.William Burk, a pet food specialist from the Food and Drug Administration(FDA), believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of protecting the public fromhealth dangers; besides, raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition (營養) that a petneeds every day.
Recognizing how popular these foods are, the FDA has provided guidelines for procers ofpet foods that contain uncooked meat for dogs, cats, and other pets.The guidelines give rules toprotect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition.
Pet owners who feed raw meat and bones should deal with these procts very carefully toprotect themselves against possible dangers, says Burk.Just as when preparing foods for humans,use hot water and soap to wash hands, containers, and surfaces that come into contact(接觸) withthe food.Don' t put your hands near your mouth until you' ve washed them, and don' t allow yourpet to touch your face right after it has eaten meat.
If owners choose to feed bones to their pets, they should watch their pet carefully when it iseating bones.Burk also says, "If the pet eats a big piece of bone that won' t pass through the digestive system(消化系統), it could kill the pet."
63.What does William Burk think of feeding pets on raw?
A.It'll make the pet owners sick.
B.It' 11 cause the death of other pets.
C.It' s against the policy of the FDA.
D.It' s dangerous and lack of nutrition.
64.Wiry did the FDA provide guidelines for procers of pet foods with raw meat?
A.The quality of pet foods has dropped.

D.Feeding pets on raw has become popular.
65.Those who feed pets on raw should do all the necessary cleaning when

D.bringing your pets for a walk
66.What advice is given to pet owners in the last paragraph? A.Pets should be kept away from raw meat.

原文翻譯及答案解析
有越來越多的寵物主人用未加工的，也就是未煮過的肉和骨頭來喂他們的寵物。威廉·伯克，一位來自美國食品與葯品管理局的寵物食品專家，認為用未經加工的肉喂寵物違背了保護公眾防止其受到健康威脅的目標。此外，未經加工的肉和骨頭不能提供寵物每天所需的所有營養物質。
知道這些食物有多麼受歡迎之後，美國食品與葯品管理局為寵物食品的生產商們提供了指導方針，這些食品包括狗、貓和其他寵物吃的未經加工的肉。這些指導方針列出了一些規則來保護寵物主人和寵物以免遭受有關食品安全和缺乏營養的危險。
伯克說，喂未經加工的肉和骨頭的寵物主人應該非常小心地處理這些食品以保護自己免遭可能的危險。正如為人類做飯一樣，要用熱水和肥皂去洗手、洗容器，並洗一些可能與食物有接觸的表面。洗手之前不要把手放在嘴邊，在寵物剛剛吃過肉之後不要讓寵物碰到你的臉。如果主人選擇喂寵物骨頭，那麼在寵物吃骨頭時，一定要在旁邊看著。伯克還說，“如果寵物吃一大塊不能通過它的消化系統的骨頭的話，那會要了它的命。”
63.D【精析】推理題。題干意為“威廉·伯克如何看待喂寵物未煮熟的東西這件事?”由本文第一段可知，伯克認為用未經加工的肉喂寵物有違保護公眾防止遭到健康威脅的目標。此外，未經加工的肉和骨頭不能提供給寵物們所有它們所需要的營養物質，故D正確。
64.D【精柝】推理題。題干意為“為什麼美國食品與葯品管理局為寵物食品的生產商提供指導方針?”由本文第二段可知，知道這些食物有多麼受歡迎之後，美國食品與葯品管理局為寵物食品的生產商們提供指導方針，這些食品包括狗、貓和其他寵物吃的未經加工的肉。這些指導方針列出了一些規則保護寵物主人和寵物以免遭受有關食品安全和缺乏營養的危險，故D正確。
65.A【精析】推理題。題干意為“那些喂寵物吃沒有經過加工的食物的主人們需要在什麼時候做些必要的清理?”由本文第三段可知，喂未經加工的肉和骨頭的寵物主人應該非常小心地處理這些食品以保護自己免遭可能的危險。正如為人類做飯一樣，要用熱水和肥皂去洗手、洗容器，並洗一些可能與食物有接觸的表面。洗手之前不要把手放在嘴邊，在寵物剛剛吃過肉之後不要讓寵物碰到你的臉，故A正確。
66.B【精析】細節題。題干意為“最後一段作者給寵物主人什麼建議?”根據文章最後一段第一句“…they should watch their pet carefully when it is eating bones.”可知，在寵物吃骨頭時，主人一定要在旁邊看著，故B正確。

There are some objects in the sky that move so quickly that sometimes you only see them outof the comer of your eye.These are some of the huge number of bits of rock and st that are floating around in space, called meteoroids.Normally, we cannot see them at all, but if they travel tooclose to the Earth, they get caught by the pull of the Earth, and begin to fall towards us.They fallfaster and faster, until they hit our atmosphere (大氣層), by which time they are going so fast thatthey begin to bum up, and all that you see is a flash of light that moves very quickly across the skyand disappears.These shooting stars, or meteors as they are properly called, are quite common,and sometimes you may see several in a night.
Most meteoroids are very small bits indeed, and they bum up long before they get to theEarth.However, a very few do manage to get all the way through the atmosphere, and actually fallto the ground.usually they do not do much damage, although this is not always the case.
Meteoroids that actually manage to reach the Earth are called meteorites.Most countries haveplaces where meteorites have struck the Earth.some of these places are very large indeed and aretourist attractions.
67.Why do some objects from outer space fall to the ground?
A.They are too big.
B.They are hit by huge rocks.
C.They move too fast.
D.They are pulled by the Earth.
68.What do we know about meteors from the text?
A.They become a star in the sky.

D.have fallen onto the Earth from space
原文翻譯及答案解析
天空中許多物體移動速度如此之快,以至於有時它們在你眼前轉瞬即逝.它們是漂浮在空中被稱為流星體的許多巨大的岩石和灰塵的碎片.通常我們根本看不見它們,但是如果它們太靠近地球,就會被地球引力吸住,開始向我們掉落.它們下降的速度越來越快,直到它們穿過大氣層,那時它們的速度如此之快以至於它們開始燃燒,你所能看到的只是一道光劃過天空,然後消失不見.這些疾馳的星星,或稱流星(他們恰當的稱謂),是十分常見的.有時候一晚上就可以看見好幾個.
事實上大多數流星體都非常小,在它們到達地球之前就已經燃燒了很久.然而只有很少的能夠一路穿過大氣層,真正地掉落到地面.通常它們不會造成什麼傷害,雖然也有例外.
真的到達地面的流星被稱為隕石.大多數國家都有一些地方有隕石掉落.事實上某些地方的隕石如此之大,已經成了旅遊景點.
67.D【精析】細節題.題干意為“為什麼外太空的一些物體會掉落到地面?”根據文章第一段第三句“Normally,we cannot see them at a11.but if they travel too close to the Earth.they get caught by the pull of the Earth,and begin to fall towards US.”可知,作者認為通常我們根本看不見它們,但是如果它們太靠近地球,它們就會被地球引力吸住,開始向我們掉落,故D正確.
68.C【精析】細節題.題干意為“從文中我們對流星有哪些了解?”從文章第一段第四句話可知,那時它們的速度如此之快以至於它們開始燃燒,你所能看到的只是一道光劃過天空,然後消失不見.由此推出,流星消失得非常快,故C正確.
69.A【精析】推理題.題干意為“大部分流星在穿過大氣層時會發生什麼?”由文章第一段可知,那時它們的速度如此之快以至於它們開始燃燒,你所能看到的只是一道光劃過天空,然後消失不見.由此推出,流星穿過大氣層時會燃燒,故A正確.
70.D【精析】細節題.題干意為“‘meteorites’(第三段第一行)是指那些__________的石頭碎片.”根據本文第三段第一句話“Meteoroids that actually manage to reach the Earth are called meteorites.”可知,真的到達地面的流星被稱為隕石,故D正確.

Ⅲ 公共英語二級閱讀理解擴展文章
公共英語二級閱讀理解擴展文章 篇1
Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which procts and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the procts bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the"system" of prices. The price of any particular proct or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.
If one were to ask a group of randomly selected indivials to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a proct or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a proct or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the proct or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the proct or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.
價格決定資源的使用方式。價格也是有限的產品與服務在買方中的配給手段。美國的價格系統是復雜的網狀系統，包括經濟生活中一切產品買賣的價格，也包括名目繁多的各種服務，諸如勞動力、專職人員、交通運輸、公共事業等服務的價格。所有這些價格的內在聯系構成了價格系統。任何一種個別產品或服務的價格都與這個龐大而復雜的系統密切相關，而且或多或少地受到系統中其它成份的制約。
如果隨機挑選一群人，問問他們如何定義"價格"，許多人會回答價格就是根據賣方提供的產品或服務，買方向其付出的錢數。換句話說，價格就是市場交易中大家認同的產品或服務的貨幣量。該定義就其本身來說自有其道理。但要獲得對價格在任何一樁交易中的完整認識，就必須考慮到大量"非貨幣"因素的影響。買賣雙方不但要清楚交易中的錢數，而且要非常熟悉交易物的質量和數量，交易的時間、地點，採用哪種形式付款，有怎樣的'緩付和優惠，對交易物的質量保證、交貨條款、退賠權利等等。也就是說，為了能估算索價，買賣雙方必須通曉構成交易物價格的通盤細節。

Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel instry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the proct and in part from his policy of expanding ring periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were recing their investments.
Carnegie believed that indivials should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide ecational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced, " he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.
Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.
被稱作鋼鐵大王的安德魯·卡內基在美國建立了鋼鐵工業。在這個過程中，他變成了美國最富有的人之一。 他的成功，部分來自於他銷售產品的能力，部分來自於經濟蕭條時期的擴充策略。在蕭條時期，他的多數對手都在縮減投資。
卡內基認為個人應該通過努力工作來獲得進展，但他也強烈地感到有錢人應該運用他們的財富來為社會謀 取福利。他反對施捨救濟，更願意提供教育機會，使別人自立。卡內基經常說："富有著死去的人死得可恥。"他對社會的較重要的貢獻都以他的名字命名。這些貢獻包括匹茲堡卡內基學校。這個學校有一個圖書館，一個美術館和一個國家歷史博物館;他還創立了一所技術學校，這所學校現在是卡內基梅隆大學的一部分;其他的慈善捐贈有為促進國家間了解的"卡內基國際和平基金"，為科學研究提供經費的華盛頓卡內基學院以及給各種藝術活動提供活動中心的卡內基音樂廳。
安德魯·卡內基的慷慨大度幾乎影響到每個美國人的生活。由於他超過五百萬美元的捐款，2500 個圖書館得以建立起來，遍布在美國各地的小村鎮，形成了我們今天還在享用的公共圖書館系統的核心。

Jogging has become the most popular indivial sport in America. Many theories, even some mystical ones, have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. One can train more specifically, as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power s in football, but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can rece heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.
Only one sort of equipment is needed a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe in dispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as little chance of injury as possible. A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock, as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heelcup that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent bilisters and the foot, ankle and knee injures and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.

Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are encouraged, but not forced, to 「leave the nest」 and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married, Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young alts meet their future spouses through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions, Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.
In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father』s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father』s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self – reliance and independence.
子女一旦到適當年齡(通常是18至21歲)，要鼓勵而不是強迫他們「離開窩的，財政的巢」，開始獨立生活。小孩離開家後，往往在外能夠與人交往，並自謀出路。父母不為子女安排婚姻，子女結婚也通常無需獲得父母同意。在美國，浪漫的愛情往往是婚姻的基礎，通過朋友在學校、單位、組織以及宗教團體認識自己的，愛情的未來的伴侶。盡管子女自己擇偶，他們仍然希望父母能認同他們的選擇。
許多家庭的父母認為，應由子女自己來做他們生活中的重大決定。家長可能會設法影響子女去從事某一職業，但子女也有選擇其它職業的自由。有時為了證實自己的獨立性，子女從事的工作正好與父母希望的相反。兒子可能執意不去父親的企業工作，因為擔心在那裡就不能獨立自主。這種不依靠父母的獨立性並不意味著父母與子女之間缺乏愛心。父母和子女之間普遍都有摯愛，美國家庭也毫不例外。只不過在美國家庭之中，還融合了自主、獨立的文化價值觀念。

A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm-two entirely different movements.
Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner』s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the string have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.
This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conctors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sound with fanatical but selfless authority.
Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.

Every weekday morning I take the 8:30 bus to go to my job. I know by sight several people who also fide that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.
But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head to tail his little body wags his happiness. Everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house.
One day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure enough, he was!
He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry. Where was she?
The driver closed the back door. The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face.
Everyone on the bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!
The driver couldn't stand it. He opened the door and looked down at the dog. "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.
A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.
The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to trot home ── alone.
The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.
The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another. How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us!

There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage turned me into an old man.
I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.
After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the azalea bushes strewn around the orphanage.
I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after the other, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.
How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close.
When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement step and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out. It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin. Finally it's wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just quivered.
I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on it's wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back. But it would not stay on him.
The next thing I knew the house parent came walking back out of the back door by the garbage room and started yelling at me. I told him that I did not do anything but he did not believe me. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the top of the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it in the garbage can inside the back room of the dormitory and then he left.
I sat there in the dirt, by that big old tree, for the longest time trying to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole, but it was too hard to do. So I prayed for them and then I put them in an old torn up shoe box and I buried them in the bottom of the fort that I had built in the ground, out by the large bamboos, near the blackberry bushes.
Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

For many people in the U.S., sports are not just for fun. Theyre almost a religion. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person.
Other fans watch the games at home, glued to their TV sets. Americas devotion to athletics has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries. Some even make big money appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and even toiletries.
對許多的美國人而言，運動不只是為了好玩。它幾乎成了一種宗教崇拜，數以千計的運動迷會為了能親眼目睹他們喜愛的球隊或運動員比賽而出高價購買門票。
其它的球迷則守在家裡寸步不離地收看電視轉播。美國人對於運動的投入形成了一個新的富有階級：職業運動員。運動明星通常會收到上百萬元的薪水。其中有些人甚至是因為替飲料、鞋，甚至個人化妝用品拍廣告而賺了一大筆錢。

Not all Americans worship sports, but athletics are an important part of their culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. All students take physical ecation classes in school.
Many people also enjoy non-competitive activities like hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping or hunting. To communicate with American sports nuts, it helps if you can talk sports.
並非所有的美國人都崇拜運動，但運動的確是他們文化當中極為重要的一部份。在他們的學校生活當中，美國人學習許多運動。所有的學生都必須在學校修體育課。
許多人也喜歡從事一些非競爭性的活動像健行、騎單車、騎馬、露營或打獵。要和美國運動迷溝通，最好是能暢談運動。

Through the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several generations, the cartoon aims at sounding a warning against mans wasteful use of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.
Ever since man appeared on the earth, mans survival has been heavily relied on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature, ranging from the food we eat, the water we drink, to the wood which is turned into furiture. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate. However, natural resources are not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the later generations would end up selling sand, as is the case in the cartoon, and the whole world would be in a mess.
Time is running out. It is up to us to take effective measures before the situation gets out of hand.

無數老師和家長都在質疑：為什麼我們的學生學了這么多年的英語，卻仍然在英語考試中知森不能正常發態猛襲揮？為什麼時下各種英語培訓（包括家教）異常火熱，而報名者當中大部分都是初中或高中的學生？中國的學生學習英語的瓶頸到底在哪裡呢？
其實帆兄，大部分學生英語考不好的關鍵不是語法、單詞、片語掌握得不好，而是閱讀理解、完形填空、作文等做不好！關鍵的關鍵是閱讀理解，如果能把閱讀理解學好的話，完形填空也就好做了。
有一點很重要，我們的學生從一開始學習英語的時候，就沒有按照正確的方法來學習閱讀理解，長此以往，學生就一直游離在英語高分世界的邊緣，致使很多學生因此而名落孫山。
所以，我們本著為學習英語的學生們提供正確指引的目的，廣泛徵集了英語專家和大量一線教師的寶貴意見，為初中至高中的學生們精心編寫了這套叢書。
閱讀能力是英語學習水平的一個基本體現。英語原文的閱讀綜合了詞彙、語法、句意、文意等英語的基本知識和語言的初步應用能力……
