【题目】Speed-reading is an indispensable skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and tweets to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Bombarded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope（应付）if we read word by word, line by line.
But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond intellectual stimulation.
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour.
Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the Slow Reading Club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement initiated (发起) by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smart phones.
Slow readers, such as The Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to empathize.
Some of these benefits have been backed up by science. For example, a study of 300 elderly people published by the journal Neurology last year showed that regular engagement in intellectually strenuous activities like reading slowed the rate of memory loss later in life.
Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted pattern in a quiet environment free of distractions. “Aim for 30 minutes a day,” advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments – whenever you find yourself automatically firing up your laptop to check your favorite site, or scanning Twitter for something to pass the time – you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive(真实的), and also ensure you’ll never lose your place.”
【1】We prefer speed –reading because ____.
A. we rely on e-mails and tweets too much.
B. we are busier than before
C. we have to read faster to get more information
D. we do not enjoy reading any more
【2】The aim of setting the Slow Reading Club is to encourage people to _____.
A. share their ideas about a certain book
B. read old-fashioned books
C. read as many books as possible
D. to enjoy slow reading
【3】We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. the benefits of regular reading hasn’t been proved
B. for elderly people ,a good reading habit helps slow memory loss
C. speed reading can improve concentration and reduce stress levels
D. more elderly people enjoy slow reading now
【4】According to the last paragraph, a kindle is probably ________.
A. a software for downloading e-books
B. a software that helps people read slowly
C. a website for people to exchange books
D. a website for people to share their ideas about a book
【5】What can be the best title of the passage？
A. Enjoy Speed-reading B. Enjoy Slow-Reading
C. Enjoy Effective Reading D. Enjoy Online Reading

【题目】At no time in history has there been such a mass(大规模的) movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it’s estimated（估计） that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today—overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty(贫穷) and lack of food and water—will be twice as bad, unless we find solutions soon.
Another serious issue is how to provide good transportation for their citizens. Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures(基本设施). How can they deal with the additional demands?
London is a good example. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the world’s first underground railway. But its transport system are now hopelessly out-of-date and need urgent modernization. London’s future success depends very much on developing better public transport.
Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They, together with the people who live in London, want a public transport system that is efficient, safe and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Passengers complain about cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time. Yes, the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over ten percent in the early 1950s to over sixty percent today.
As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action must be taken soon.
【1】The passage is mainly written to tell us that ________.
A. it’s difficult to solve the problem faced by cities today
B. overpopulation causes the problems in cities like London
C. possible solutions to cities’ transport problems will be found soon
D. public transport plays an important role in developments in major cities
【2】The underlined word “they” in fourth paragraph refers to _______.
A. the citizens in the city of London
B. those who come to London from other places
C. passengers who make complaints about the cost
D. businesses who are anxious about their staff getting to work late
【3】From the passage we know that the mass movement to the city will cause the following problems EXCEPT_____________.
A. poverty B. unemployment
C. better environment D. poor transportation
【4】The underlined words “environmentally friendly” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. pleasant and nonpolluting B. cheap and punctual
C. quick and straight D. fair and convenient
【5】We can infer that in the following paragraph the writer would most probably deal with ______.
A. traffic jams in London streets
B. London’s future in train and air travel
C. possible solutions to London’s traffic problems
D. the improvement of the citizen’s living conditions
