英语阅读科学发展

① 英语阅读理解有哪些基本的方法和技巧

老师和家长在指导孩子阅读之前，不妨先了解一下孩子真实的英语水平才可以做到“对症下药”。帮助孩子选择适合他们的英语读物比跟风阅读要有用，合适难度的书籍才能帮助孩子逐步提升阅读水平，长时间阅读不适合自己的书籍反而打击孩子的阅读自信。同时，家长和老师还需要及时了解孩子读书后是否真的能够理解书籍内容，避免囫囵吞枣，对书籍内容一知半解。

正确的英文阅读，首先就是要先弄清楚孩子所处的阅读水平，最好的原版阅读培养体系需要能够利用大数据精准检测并定位学生阅读能力，实现在分级阅读中用英语测评测试结果帮助制定指导目标。

其次就是选择适合孩子水平的读物。再进行目标的设置，并根据目标进行阅读并及时完成阅读，养成阅读习惯。

最后进行阅读练习来得到阅读练习反馈并再次进行能力测试来看阅读练习的成效。

第一步、英语能力测评，测试报告指导

睿乐生Renaissance STAR测试系统（Star Reading ）是针对K12学生进行阅读评级以及监测学生阅读成长进度的一款阅读能力测评软件。老师可以利用阅读测试工具，快速地摸清学生水平，掌控学生的阅读难度、实施个性化的教学，实现因材施教！

这样的一个闭环式英语阅读能力培养体系是科学化和系统化的，然而真正能做到这样的阅读体系屈指可数！睿乐生的产品正可以帮助老师和家长达到这一点。

第二步、设定阅读目标，养成规律性阅读习惯

做完测试，了解了孩子的阅读能力后，就需要睿乐生Renaissance的AR分级阅读体系出马。AR分级阅读系统可以帮助大家找到符合自己阅读难度的书籍。

第三步、阅读练习后进行反馈再次进行英语阅读能力测试

孩子在阅读书籍后，可以用AR分级阅读进行阅读理解发测试，及时掌握孩子阅读情况，这样一来，老师和家长就不再会有“孩子们读了这些书都读懂了吗”这样的困惑。

当孩子完成一定时间的阅读和AR Quiz后，不妨让孩子再次进行STAR测试看看最新的英语阅读能力进展，这样一来，可以实时掌握孩子的水平发展进程。

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (互联网), but how many of us know the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made 'surfing' (浏览) the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet everyday. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.
判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用 “F”表示。
l. The Internet has a history of less than thirty years.
T F
2. In the 1960s computer networks went wrong easily.
T F
3. Computers become cheaper so that many hospitals and banks were allowed to use them.
T F
4. People didn't have enough software to get on-line conveniently until the early 1990s.
T F
参考答案： 1．F 2．T 3．F 4．T
讲解：
1．第二段开头讲互联网是在60年代建立的，故至今历史已超过30年。
2．文中第二段阐明计算机网络工作状况不好(didn't work well)。
3．第三段中说明大学、医院等都被允许使用电脑，然而，计算机仍然很贵，并且网络很难使用。
4．由第三段最后几句介绍可知，到90年代，计算机便宜且好用。科学家也发展了软件使网上浏览更方便。而本题干用了not…until句型，译为“直到90年代早期人们才有足够的软件上网”。

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer.
We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
1. We know that the word “cool” has ________.
A. only one meaning B. no meanings
C. many different meanings D. the same meaning

A. pleased with B. strange to
C. worried about D. careful with
5. In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_________.
A. can be used instead of many words
B. usually means something interesting
C. can make your life colourful

参考答案 ： 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．D
讲解：
1．见首句。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you ever found that some people can' t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.
1. The main reason for one's poor memory is that his parents have poor memories.
T F
2. If you don't use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong.
T F
3. A good memory comes from more practice.
T F
4. Some people can't read or write, but they have better memories, because they have saved trouble.
T F
5. The best title of this passage is “How to Have a Good Memory”.

One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.
I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.
My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.
It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.
You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just live.
1. The word “positive” in the passage probably means ______.
A. terrible B. bad C. good D. real
2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?
A. A fire starting B. A plane flying
C. A terrible accident D. An act of terrorism.
3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.
A. people should make the most of every minute they have
B. he has become less tolerant towards others
C. he should get worried about little things
D. life is too short to care about others.
4. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. A Report about September 11
B. The Tragedy of September 11
C. September 11 and My Family
D. September 11 and My Turn.
参考答案
讲解：
1. C 见第一行，不管（no matter）事情多糟，总能发现有益的东西。

加州公众企业雇员退休协会（加退协）挺身担纲投资者权利的第一捍卫者，他们会定期挑出一些全国最大公司内的糟糕经营者，列入年度的公司控管核心名单。每当加退协吭声时，帐下经营着1530亿美元的华尔街都会侧耳倾听。但是，这个全国最大的退休基金会还从没有像12月16日那样逮住这么大的一条鱼，它向美国纽约证券交易所及其属下的七个会员公司发起挑战，指控他们具有欺诈行为，宣称交易所疏忽自己的监控职守，允许七个会员公司在损害投资者利益的情况下进行证券交易。

这次行动对纽约证券交易所的新任（临时）主席John Reed来说，不蒂当头一棒。这位前花旗银行董事长兼CEO九月才加盟交易所，当时，长期担纲交易所领导工作的Richard Grasso因报酬太高而引起公愤，被迫辞职。

因为没能将投资者的代表选入新组选的董事会，也因为未能将交易所的监控职能与日常经营有效区分，Reed遭到加退协及其它机构投资者的广泛批评。加退协的诉讼表明，广大投资者的不满情绪没有消退。Harrigan说：“因为Reed不采取行动，我们的希望整个破灭了。”

诉讼指控说，七个专营会员公司滥用或过分使用交易策略并从中获益。这些目前并非非法的策略包括“penny jumping”（专营公司在两个交易单中间介入，抢得差价），“front running”（根据从交易单中获得的机密情报，抢在顾客前面交易）和“freezing”（稳住公司的交易单簿，以便公司能用自己的户头第一个交易）。

诉讼中的许多指控依据的是前不久公开的，由证券交易委员会对交易所进行的调查结果。根据诉讼，10月份的证券交易委员会的报告发现，“交易所的监控、调查程序中存在严重不足，包括对专营公司的累次犯规视而不见”。

这次诉讼突出的反映了机构投资者对交易体系的失望，该体系既便不要取消，至少需要更新。加州公司监管员Steve Westley（作为加退协的董事，参加了12月16日的记者招待会），不断呼吁纽约证券交易所停止使用专营公司来方便交易的做法，转而采用公开匹配交易双方的制度。视而不见？Westley说：“没有理由不采用全部自动化的交易。世界上每笔交易都是这么做的。证券交易所该进入21世纪了，从而拨去公众心目中的疑云：有不少侵犯投资者权益的内部交易。”

21.「答案」D

「解析」这是一道词义题。依据第一段可知答案应为D.

22.「答案」C

「解析」这是一道细节题。根据第三段第二句，确定答案为C.

23.「答案」B

「解析」这是一道是非判断题。根据第四段前两句，七家公司的手段目前并未违法，可见B项不对。

24.「答案」A

「解析」这是一道细节题，“Westley”将答案锁定在文章末段。NYSE的问题，在Westley看来，出在过于依赖专营公司开展业务，故此答案为A.

25.「答案」A

「解析」这是一道主旨题。这是一篇新闻题文章，全文讲述了加退协为了投资者的权益而将NYSE告上法庭，可见文章标题应为A（投资者权益的捍卫者）。D项Lawsuits加复数是不对的，予以排除。

多功能超级药丸并不夸大其辞，而且减少高胆固醇、糖尿病及高血压对心脏的潜在危害也能挽救不少生命，对医药公司而言也是有利可图。用Pfizer公司的高血压药Norvasc和降低胆固醇的药Lipitor组合而成的药丸“具有巨大的潜力”，Shaojing Tong，一名来自Mehta Partners的分析师这么认为，他说，“一片药丸具有双重功能也极其方便”。

如果这种药推广开来，医药公司将获得巨大受益。Pfizer公司的目标是尽可能多地将合格病人转用这类组合药。Norvasc的专利将在2007年过期，但公司可将它转为超级药丸的一部分，从而避免收入方面的损失。来自Cathay Financial的分析师Sena Lund说，Pfizer到2007年通过这种组合药能赚到42亿美元，从而补偿Lipitor的销售疲软所带来的损失，Lipitor的赢利到2007年将降到5亿美元，而去年是8亿美元。

Pfizer认为，用一颗药丸治疗两个不同但却严重的心血管疾病是有益的。Pfizer双药治疗中心主任Craig Hopkinson指出，美国患有高血压和高胆固醇的病人有2700万，其中只有2％的人得到了充分的治疗。服一片药治两种病能使更多的病人得到适当的治疗，并有助于病人得到理想的救治。

Pfizer认为，医生们也会乐于接受组合药，因为它由两种很成熟的药品构成，医生们对它们很熟悉。但是，斯坦福大学医疗中心心脏科咨询部主任Dr. Stanley Rockson认为，固定剂量的组合药丸对医生们而言，是“一个有趣的十字路口”，医生们接受的训练往往要求他们“细心对待每个个别病例”。组合用药对他们的针对不同个体采用不同疗法是个挑战。但他也说，病人能更好的接受该药促使医生们去接受尝试这种药丸。

有些医生会持怀疑态度。波士顿大学医学院的药理学教授Dr. Irene Gavris则担心说，“如果你想改变组合药中一种药的剂量，你可难办了”。她说，她很愿意给那些“已用药有过一段时间的病人”使用这种组合药，他们不太可能需要改变剂量。

通常，经济决定天平的倾向。Gavris说，正在服用Lipitor和Norvasc的病人由于转用该药“能将他们的医保费用减少一半”。这很重要。例如，控制高血压可能需要三种或三种以上的药物，病人的经济负担急剧增加，如果病人也想获益——正如Pfizer和其他医药公司所宣称的那样——转用超级药丸对大家都有好处。

26.「答案」B

「解析」这是一道细节题。依据原文第二段可知，Pfizer可以通过使用组合药来避免因为Norvasc专利到期可能引起的损失。所以答案为B.

27.「答案」B

「解析」这是一道是非判断题。文章第三段讲述了超级药丸的种种好处，但并没有说可以恢复病人失去的身体功能，所以B应是答案。

28.「答案」C

「解析」本题涉及段落的写作意图。第三段讲述了病人对超级药丸的接受态度，第四段主要讲述医生们可能的接受态度，所以答案为C.A项不对，因为本段内部并没有进行对比。

29.「答案」D

「解析」这是一道涉及全文的推论题。文章探讨了医药公司、病人、医生等方面对超级药丸的反应态度，可以推论，用药的转变是由许多因素来决定的，故答案为D.

30.「答案」A

「解析」这是一道态度题，问作者对超级药丸所持的态度。根据文章开头两句及其整个文章的议论，不难看出作者对这种药的态度还是赞同性的，故答案为A.选项C意为“（勉强地）容忍接受”，不太吻合文章作者的语气，排除。

Text 3译文

五年前的寒假，Donna and Phil Satow的就读于亚利桑纳大学的20岁的儿子自缢身亡，从那以后，夫妻俩就一直想知道自己忽略了什么迹象，也向儿子的同学打听。

深刻的思索让人注意到了Ulifeline （www.ulifeline.org），大学生们可在学校登录该网址咨询问题。120多所高校使用该网址，并增添了些学校信息，130多万大学生用学生证在该网站注册。

“这是一个很不错的网站，它能提高对自杀的警惕，减少对精神疾病的歧视，鼓励人们寻求帮助，”Paul Grayson这么认为，他是纽约大学的咨询服务部主任，一年前开始使用该网站的服务。

该网站的主要部件是Self-E-Valuator，这是杜克大学医疗中心开发的一种自测软件，帮助学生判断自己是否有抑郁、自杀、厌食或药物依赖这类危险。除了帮助学生，网站还汇编了大量学生的匿名数据，以便学校了解校园内的健康状况。

网站还给学生用户提供当地医疗服务链接，一份处方药及其负效应的目录，以及“询问艾丽丝”的接入，后者是哥伦比亚大学开发的一个巨大的档案库，含有数百个对世界各地大学生匿名咨询的答复。对那些为朋友担心的学生而言，网站还有一个部分专门介绍自杀和抑郁的种种征兆。

然而很难评估这种服务的有效性，匿名在线服务甚至会起到消极作用。位于华盛顿的美国自杀学研究协会执行主任Dr. Lanny Berman就说，“这种网站咨询不能代替互动的当面咨询。”

Ulifeline首先会承认，网站咨询不能取代真正的理疗师。Ron Gibori，Ulifeline的执行主任就说，“我们的目的是帮助学生发现抑郁迹象，然后指导他们去合适的地方治疗。”

Mrs. Satow仍然关注着该网站，她称之为“知识库”，它本可以阻止她儿子Jed自杀的。她说，“如果Jed的同学知道抑郁的征兆，他们本可以发现Jed的问题的。”

31.「答案」D

「解析」这是一道写作意图题。第一段说道Satow一家的事情是为了引入文章的讨论主题Ulifeline，所以答案为D.

32.「答案」C

「解析」这是一道细节题。依据文章2、3两段，大学使用该网站的目的是鼓励学生上网咨询自己的精神抑郁等问题，所以答案为C.

33.「答案」B

「解析」这是一道细节题。依据第五段可知，Go Ask Alice是一个给学生提供健康咨询的问答库，所以答案为B.

34.「答案」A

「解析」这是一道句意题。依据文章最后两段的意思可知，网站固然可以提供咨询，但真正充分的治疗还得需要理疗师。A项为此意，是正确选项。

35.「答案」C

「解析」这是一道推论题。根据末段的意思可以推测，Mrs. Satow一定非常认可该网站，所以答案为C.

Text 4译文

“科学”和“技术”的意义，从一代到下一代都会发生深刻的变化，然而这两个术语之间的相似之处远远多于其不同之处。两者都含有思维特征，两者都涉及物质世界的因果关系，两者皆用实验性的研究方法，由此而得出的经验性结果都可重复验证。科学，至少在理论上，不太在乎结果的实用性，它更在乎普遍法则的创立，但实际上，科学和技术是密不可分的。两者之间不同程度的相互影响可见于各种行业的历史发展过程，诸如：化学、工程、物理、天文、土木、制陶以及其它行业。科学家和技术人员的研究活动的差异与下列因素有关：不同的教育要求、社会地位、方法、术语、奖励方式、机构目标及职业目标，但纵观历史，许多“纯”科学家既有理论建树也有实用创新。

的确，科学是技术创新的理论基础，以及纯理论研究对工业文明的发展是不可或缺的这两种说法都是错误的。大多数工业进步都与实验室研究无关，机械、化工、天文、冶金、水利领域的基本工具及流程早在相关理论法则发现之前就已存在。例如，早在热动力学解释了蒸汽的原理之前，蒸汽发动机业已广泛存在。

最近几年，科学和技术之间的价值分歧越来越尖锐。科学进步的反对者是一直存在的，然而，现在有很多人对技术的恐惧甚于对科学的担心。他们觉得，科学可视为是对永恒的自然法则的和平、客观的探究，但现代社会中，技术的实际应用似乎有点失控。

许多科学史家们认为，技术是发达的工业文明的必然条件，他们也认为，过去几百年的技术发展也已积累了可观的动量。技术创新的速度以几何级别在增长，远远超出了地理和政治的限定。这些技术创新改变了传统的文化体制，往往带来难以预料的社会后果。所以，技术既具有进步性也具有毁灭性。

36.「答案」C

「解析」这是一道细节题。依据原文第3句可知，科学和技术之间的相似之一便是研究方法的实验性。因此答案为C.B项中casual不等于原文中的causal，排除。

37.「答案」B

「解析」这是一道是非判断题。依据第2段首句，作者认为“科学是技术创新的理论基础，以及纯理论研究对工业文明的发展是不可或缺的这两种说法都是错误的”，可见作者不赞同的是B项的说法，故B为答案。

38.「答案」A

「解析」这是一道例证题。第2段末句中，作者提到蒸汽发动机是为了反驳“理论研究对工业文明的发展是不可或缺的”这一观点，故答案为A，A中“feed off”意为“靠…生存”。

39.「答案」D

「解析」这是一道句意题。引号句的意思在末段得到了充分的说明，“技术创新改变了传统的文化体制，往往带来难以预料的社会后果。所以，技术既具有进步性也具有毁灭性”，这就是所谓的“失去控制”，可见答案为D.

40.「答案」D

「解析」这是一道询问历史学家态度的态度题。末段中，历史学家们对技术的发展态度具有肯定和否定的两面，所以答案为D.“有保留地认可”。

Part B

「总体分析」

本篇介绍的是美国人对选举的兴趣日渐减少，并分析了相关的几个原因。第一段揭示事情本身，后几段分析原因。就本篇而言，对文章前后结构层次的把握非常重要。

41

本题考察段落内部的逻辑联系，空格的下文说“But it‘s time to stop blaming the citizens”，可见上文必然说到有人指责普通公民们不热衷于美国的政治选举。故答案为E.

42.B

本题考察考生对文章的总体结构的把握能力。既然第二段末句说“Candidates， public officials， and journalists are not giving Americans the type of campaign they deserve”，而且第三段又说到了officials，下文又将说到journalists，可以断定，本段应说“candidates”，即“leadership”，故B项为答案。

43.D

本题考察段落内部的逻辑理解，注意相应的词汇表达。既然空格前讲的是journalists对政治家的正面言论不感兴趣，弃置编辑室地板，而攻击性的言论却被直播（Attack sound bites get airtime； positive statements land on the cutting-room floor），那么可以推论，D项是最符合逻辑的展开内容，用词也密切相关（get more time on the network newscasts）。

44.G

本题涉及段落内部逻辑的把握。既然上文说“we interviewed 100，000 Americans to discover why they‘re disengaging from elections”，那么答案为G，也就很符合逻辑了。

45.F

本题同样涉及段内逻辑，既然上文说“Officials unfailingly urge citizens to do your ty and vote. Yet， these officials embrace policies that make it harder to do that”（官员们催使公民行使职责，参加选举，但另一方面又制定政策，使公民们很难参加投票选举），那么符合逻辑的答案必定是F项了。

Part C

46.「结构分析」这是一个简单句，结构不复杂。

「疑难词汇」词汇“disproportionately”的翻译不必拘泥原文，可灵活翻译为“激…”；另，“without shrinking…”部分的理解要结合上文准确翻译。

「参考译文」技术的发展和金融的自由化使得极端富裕的家庭数量激增，却没能相应地减少贫困家庭的数量。

47.「结构分析」冒号前后为并列结构。后半部分有两个“faster than…”的并列的比较状语从句。

「疑难词汇」冒号前的两个“cause”翻译要灵活处理。

「参考译文」正是这些根本原因衍生出严重后果，从而造成更糟的结果：富裕国家出口的工业产品及服务的价格增长速度远远快于贫穷国家出口的商品及服务的价格，比没有多少国际贸易的贫穷国家所生产的商品和服务的价格增长速度就更快了。

48.「结构分析」“to whom”引导的整个是定语从句，修饰前面的“young men”；定语从句中两个“to threaten…”并列，做“means”的补足语。

「疑难词汇」“means”意为“手段”。

「参考译文」结果导致许多年轻人失业愤懑，而新的信息技术则给了他们威胁社会稳定的手段，甚至可以威胁富裕国家的社会稳定。

49.「结构分析」“Why”引导的是主句，“if”引导的是从句。

「疑难词汇」主句中“subscribed to”意为“同意，赞同”；从句中“if a case can be made that…”可意译为“如果说…”，其中“case”意为“情况”：“gains”意译为“成果”。

「参考译文」如果说商品和资本市场自由化的成果往往集聚到发展中国家的高端收入阶层的手中，那发展中国家的精英阶层为何又赞同西方国家、企业及多边组织所宣扬的全球化议程呢？

50.「结构分析」分号前后为并列结构。

「疑难词汇」“fixed”根据上下文可译为“解决，改变”：“asset”为大纲词汇“资产”。

「参考译文」但是，他们没有注意到世界收入分配的差距与贫困之间的联系；他们以为，给穷人福利和机会而不必改变收入及资产分配结构，就可以解决贫困问题。

China is now witnessing a new surge of interest in going to all sorts of night schools or training classes. As is shown in the pictures, lots of people are flocking to English classes while others are rushing to attend lectures on WTO. They all look happy and eager to go to the classes even after a whole day's work.

This enthusiasm for new knowledge can be attributed to the obvious reason that the government's policy of Open-up to the World and particularly China's access to WTO. These have given a fresh impetus to China's trade and exchange with foreign countries. China's trade volume with the world has, reportedly, reached an unprecedented $500 billion and cultural exchanges with other countries are being carried on an increasingly larger scale. The new situation requires that people have to learn more about WTO rules and of course they must also acquire a solid knowledge of English. Otherwise, they may find it difficult to trade or exchange with foreign countries efficiently. They may lose the competition in the process of globalization.

Undoubtedly, China's open policy and the globalization of the world are both irreversible and more and more Chinese will find it necessary to acquire new knowledge and skills. Therefore, more and more people will be going to various training classes or lectures in the years to come.

呵呵，不知道是不是？～～～

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (互联网), but how many of us know the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made 'surfing' (浏览) the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet everyday. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.
判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用 “F”表示。

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer.
We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
1. We know that the word “cool” has ________.
A. only one meaning B. no meanings
C. many different meanings D. the same meaning
2. In the passage, the word “express” means“________”.
A. see B. show C. know D. feel
3. If you are ________ something, you may say, “It's cool.”
A. interested in B. angry about
C. afraid of D. unhappy with
4. The writer takes an example to show he is _________ the way the word is used.
A. pleased with B. strange to
C. worried about D. careful with
5. In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_________.
A. can be used instead of many words
B. usually means something interesting
C. can make your life colourful
D. may not be as cool as it seems

1. 由短文最后一句“They had travelled 1,797 kilometres from London”可知，最接近“for nearly 1,800 kilometres”，因此选A。
2. 由短文第2段倒数第3句“So they were able to change its weight”可知答案为D。
3. 从第3段可以看出，越往上温度越低，因此应选A。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you ever found that some people can' t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.
1. The main reason for one's poor memory is that his parents have poor memories.

2. If you don't use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong.

其次，C中的waste更像是指的垃圾而不是浪费，因为它说污染地球。
再次，细节题要注重细节，像earth因为chemical和waste被污染太间接了。

教师应采用“整体阅读”的教学模式，这就要求学生拿到一个阅读语篇时，首先的阅读行为不是肢解文章和片段阅读，而是视文章为一个整体，从宏观上把握文章，领会文章的主旨及内涵，理清内部的相互关系。这种全局式的把握对之后的局部和细节的分析更加准确和透彻。
(2)读中活动要设计科学合理的阅读教学活动，保持学生的阅读动力
设计读中活动时，教师要抓住学生的心理特点，以提高和激发学生的积极性为出发点，维持学生阅读兴趣，增强阅读教学效果。
(3)读中活动要帮助学生掌握有效的阅读策略，提高阅读能力
例如，培养基本的阅读技巧，如略读、寻读、预测推理等；根据上下文猜测词义；通过解读句法或句子结构弄清段落大意等；结合文本特征，帮助学生理解和把握文本大意。
(4)读中活动要帮助渗透文化背景知识，开拓学生眼界
在学习英语的过程中，接触和了解外国文化有益于对阅读素材的理解和使用，而文化背景的缺失会阻碍阅读理解能力的提高。教师应充分利用教材，挖掘文化教学的素材，帮助学生拓展视野，激发他们学习英语的兴趣。
2.有效读中活动的实践案例
活动内容：
由读前活动失联马航370这一大事件过渡到教材中的两个大事件，教师采用整体阅读模式，进入快速阅读全文，回答问题。
What are the two big events?
(1)Dr. King was killed.(2)The World Trade Center in New York was taken down by the terrorists.
随后教师设计了两种类型的细节题，运用了寻读的阅读技巧。

(1)T or F
1. Everyone in America remembers who killed Dr. King.___________
2. Robert Allen was eating lunch when Dr. King was killed.__________
3. Robert’s parents were shocked to hear the news.__________
4. Kate Smith was watching a movie when a plane hit the World Trade Center.___________
5. Kate didn’t think her friend was telling the truth about the event.___________
(2)Read the passage and fill in the form
Events Dates Feelings What was he/she doing?
Dr.King was killed.
The world trade center was taken down by the terrorists.
最后教师设计了一道开放型讨论题Why did they remember those things clearly?引起学生思考
A. Because they have super mind.
B. Because those events were about their family and friends.
C. Because those events were very unusual and have meanings to them.*
活动评析：
教师设计的读中活动由易到难，层层深入，有效地训练了阅读技巧，形式多样，如表格中既考查了细节又再次训练到本单元的重点语法。设计最巧妙的是最后的思考题，逐渐向情感目标靠拢，再次为后续内容的情感教育层层铺垫。
三、如何进行有效的英语阅读读后活动设计
1.阅读教学读后活动的设计原则
(1)巩固性原则
它是指在读后活动中，学生在理解的基础上牢固地掌握知识和技能，并且能根据需要快速再现出来，这有利于知识技能的灵活运用。
(2)开放性原则
它是指在读后活动中教师以知识教学为载体，以学生的发展为首要目标，通过创设真实的情境和语境，帮助学生更好地理解文本内涵，并提供学生更大的发展空间，以提高学生的综合语言运用能力。
(3)应用性原则
它是指在读后活动中，学生在特定的情境和语境中，灵活运用文本中的语言内容来表达看法、思想和情感，灵活运用语言材料来参与活动和完成任务。
