Nowadays, we have fast, comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains. Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines. Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses. And many people could not buy things like fridges, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things. Lastly, communication has become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes (传真), but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending emails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we are making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call with the astronauts (宇航员) and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing! Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives will become much easier and happier in the future. 21. How was travelling by plane in the past? A. Uncomfortable. B. Expensive. C.

But which one is better? The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook or something else for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read instructions carefully. If he reads instructions quickly, he may have no time to catch and understand fully the important ideas or information. The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads instructions. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story. This is a waste of time. So, you see, either a quick reader or a slow reader is not a good one at all times. If you wish to become a better reader, here is some advice to remember about speed of reading. ◆ Knowing what you are reading for will often help you to know whether (是否) to read quickly or slowly. ◆ Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are instructions, science books and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea. ◆ Some things should be read quickly throughout. Such as simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and news from local papers. ◆ In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain (某些) pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas. 26. What do we know about fast and slow reading according to the passage? A. Fast reading is always better than slow reading. B. Slow reading is always better than fast reading. C. Both fast and slow reading have their suitable situations. 27. What does the passage suggest about choosing reading speed? A. Always read fast. B. Always read slowly. C. Choose the reading speed based on the purpose of reading. 28. Which of the following materials should be read slowly? A. Science books. B. Simple storybooks. C. Letters from friends. 29. Which of the following materials should be read quickly? A. Math problems. B. News from local newspapers. C. Instructions. 30. How should reading speed be adjusted (调整) during reading, according to the passage? A. Always maintain a fast speed. B. Always maintain a slow speed. C. Adjust the speed based on the importance of the content (内容). 【答案】26. C 27. C 28. A 29. B 30.

To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast, comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains. Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines. Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses. And many people could not buy things like fridges, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things. Lastly, communication has become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes (传真), but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending emails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we are making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call with the astronauts (宇航员) and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing! Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives will become much easier and happier in the future. 21. How was travelling by plane in the past? A. Uncomfortable. B. Expensive. C. Slow. 22. What makes today’s work easier? A. Computers. B. Fridges. C. Tools. 23. What is the most surprising thing according to Paragraph 5? A. We can see each other while chatting online. B. We can make a phone call with the astronauts and see them when they are in space. C. We can even see the people whom we are making a phone call with through mobile phones. 24. What do you think the writer will talk about next? A. Life in the space. B. Life in the future. C. Life in the past. 25. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Great Changes in Our Lives. B. Good Education in Our Lives. C. Fast Development of Science. C Some people read very quickly, while others read very slowly. But which one is better? The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook or something else for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read instructions carefully. If he reads instructions quickly, he may have no time to catch and understand fully the important ideas or information. The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads instructions But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story. This is a waste of time. So, you see, either a quick reader or a slow reader is not a good one at all times. If you wish to become a better reader, here is some advice to remember about speed of reading. ◆ Knowing what you are reading for will often help you to know whether (是否) to read quickly or slowly. ◆ Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are instructions, science books and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea. ◆ Some things should be read quickly throughout. Such as simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and news from local papers. ◆ In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain (某些) pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas. 26. What do we know about fast and slow reading according to the passage? A. Fast reading is always better than slow reading. B. Slow reading is always better than fast reading. C. Both fast and slow reading have their suitable situations. 27 What does the passage suggest about choosing reading speed? A. Always read fast. B. Always read slowly. C. Choose the reading speed based on the purpose of reading. 28. Which of the following materials should be read slowly? A. Science books. B. Simple storybooks. C. Letters from friends. 29. Which of the following materials should be read quickly? A. Math problems. B. News from local newspapers. C. Instructions. 30. How should reading speed be adjusted (调整) during reading, according to the passage? A. Always maintain a fast speed. B. Always maintain a slow speed. C. Adjust the speed based on the importance of the content (内容). 第二节：阅读语篇内容，回答下面的问题。（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Do you know Yakutsk (雅库茨克)? It is a special city because of its special weather.
