Now let us look at how we read.When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, rough movement.We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate(凝视).Each time they fixate, we see a group of words.This is known as the recognition span or the visual span.The length of time of which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person.It also varies within one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text.Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page.As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation.For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second.One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side.Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation.All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words.Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
59.The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts EXCEPT________ .
A.one’s familiarity with the text B.one’s purpose in reading
C.the length of a group of words D.lighting and tiredness
60.The author may believe that reading ______.
A.requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation
B.requires a reader to see words more quickly
C.demands a deeply-participating mind
D.demands more mind than eyes
61.What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A.The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.
B.The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to
comprehend words.
C.The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.
D.The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job to improve one’s ability to see
words.
62.What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?
A.critical B.neutral C.pessimistic D.optimistic

举一反三
The spectacular Victoria Falls links two countries, Zimbabwe and Zambia.It was discovered by David Livingstone in November 1855 and is known in the local language, as Mosi-oa-tunya, “the smoke that thunders”.It was Livingstone who named Victoria Falls after his Queen and stated in his own famous diary entry--- “Angels in their flight must have gazed.”
Adventure sports and a range of accommodation
The rustic(乡村的)Victoria Fall town--- just ten minutes from the Fall, and on the outskirts of the Zambezi National Park--- has all facilities necessary to act as a base for exploring the region.Accommodation is plentiful--- from low budget campsites to luxury hotels.
And across the border in Livingstone, Zambia, visitors will find a town suitable for the adventure sports enthusiasts with lots of travel and adventure sports companies.
Victoria Bridge--- the third highest Bungee jump in the world
At a height of 364 feet, the Victoria Falls Bridge, completed in 1905, is the world’s third highest Bungee jump, though the scream factor is arguably the loudest, making it a great draw-card for adventure sports enthusiasts.While dropping into the abyss (深渊), you will be blasted with spray from the thundering Victoria Falls, and then jerked (猛烈) back to reality within inches of the swirling eddies (漩涡) of the Zambezi below.
How to enjoy the Victoria Falls Experience--- take to the sky’s and the water
Anyone can pay an entrance fee and walk around the ridge of Victoria Falls and take some good pictures to send home, but to truly experience the size and scope of the spray, you’ve got to get airborne, and there are options--- tame and a little wild: fixed wing planes, helicopters, microlights.
River Rafting, in many shapes and sizes, is conducted on both sides of the Zambezi River, in Zimbabwe and Zambia below Victoria Falls.
63.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The introduction to the adventure sports at Victoria Falls.
B.The description of the beauty of Victoria Fall.
C.The development of the adventure sports in this region.
D.The introduction to the options of accommodation in this region.
64.What does David Livingstone think of Victoria Falls by saying “Angels in their flight must
have gazed.”?
A.Quite mysterious. B.A bit dangerous
C.Amazingly beautiful. D.Out of reach.
65.The author believe that the best way to experience Victoria Falls is______________.
A.on foot B.by Bungee jump C.by air D.by river rafting
66.Which of the following best shows the relationship of the following places?
=" Victoria" Falls =" Victoria" Falls town =" Zambezi" National Park

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
When I worked in Swaziland, one day we went to an orphanage (孤儿院).There we found a beautiful little girl named Tanzile.I gave her a sweet and she said something back to me in Si-swati, which the nurse next to me translated, “She wants another one — to give to her little sister.” I said “of course”.When we were going to leave, we passed by Tanzile’s house to say goodbye.To our surprise she seemed to be holding on to that extra sweet I had given her.I remember saying to the nurse “this little darling is clever — she has taken two for herself.”
But the nurse told us, “Tanzile is 7 now.Two years ago her mum and dad both died of AIDS.She was separated from her sister who was three at the time.Tanzile has not laid eyes on her since.But from then on whenever Tanzile receives anything from anyone, including food — she refuses to accept it, unless they give her two.” In fact, in the little mud hut where she lives, we find a pile of old things which she has been collecting to give to her sister one day.
People sometimes look at faces of African children and think that they are somehow different from our kids — that somehow they don’t feel pain or love.But that is not true.Their pain is deep.And so is their love.I can still remember the nurse trying to convince her that “if someone gives you food, you must accept it — even if it is only one piece and not two — for your own health.” And it was so hard for us to keep the tears from our eyes as she shook her head.Her hope and her love was all that she had.It mattered more than anything else.When I returned home that day, I was shocked to find that this was not an isolated story but others in the hospital knew of orphans just like Tanzile — waiting with a little pile of things in their hut, for their lovers who they haven’t seen so long.
I think of that old song — “when we’re hungry, love will keep us alive.”
56.From the passage we can learn Tanzile .
A.is very clever B.knows her sister has died
C.has stored a lot for her sister D.doesn’t like sweets
57.How old was her sister when the author met with Tanzile?
A.Three years old. B.Four years old.
C.Five years old. D.Six years old.
58.What has the author learned from her experience in Africa?
A.Love is more important in life than anything else.
B.African children are different in a way.
C.African children should be treated fairly.
D.We should express our love in time.
59.The best title for the passage would be .
A.Give every child two sweets B.Tanzile’s love for her sister
C.One for my sister D.Change your attitude to African children
