Question

【題目】What is the purpose of reading or studying? If you can't remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 【1】 One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.

Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you, I'm just looking."? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses." She says, "Right this way, please.” It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. 【2】 Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．

【3】 Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．

Reading is not one single activity. 【4】 As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author．

This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 【5】 One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources. Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.

A. This is an effective studying way.

B. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.

C. You remember better when you know what you’re reading.

D. At least two important processes go on at the same time.

E. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.

F. But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.

G. Perhaps you have already discovered some good ways to keep yourself from forgetting

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】

【1】G分析推斷題。根據(jù)前一句 If you can't remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time.如果你記不得你所讀或者學(xué)習(xí)的東西，這就是浪費時間了。后一句One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.一個有用的方法能夠確實幫助你記住你所學(xué)的東西，就是呆著一個特定的目的或者愿意來閱讀。故所缺句子和記憶有關(guān)，故選G

【2】F分析推斷題。該句前一句 If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing如果你選擇了一本書，“只是看看”而不是在看什么特別的東西，你很可能什么也得不到。下一句應(yīng)該是和這有關(guān)的，故選F

【3】A分析推斷題。根據(jù)該段剩下的兩句Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．在你開始學(xué)習(xí)之前，你可以對你自己這么說：我想要知道為什么斯蒂芬·文森特·本特開始寫美國的一些事情。因為你知道為什么你在閱讀或者學(xué)習(xí)，你會更好的將那些信息更好得聯(lián)系上你的目的同時能更好的記住他們。這是介紹一個比較合適的學(xué)習(xí)方式，故選A

【4】D分析推斷題。根據(jù)該句前一句Reading is not one single activity.閱讀不是一個單一的活動�？梢酝茢喑鰬�(yīng)該選D.至少同時進(jìn)行兩項活動。

【5】B分析推斷題。根據(jù)該句后一句One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. 你會發(fā)現(xiàn)批判性閱讀的一部分，就是辨明真相和觀點。故選B
