Question

【题目】There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. 【1】

The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 【2】Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.

The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader’s understanding. 【3】Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.

What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding【4】Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.

【5】It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.

A．Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.

B．Such communication between unequals must be possible.

C．We can get access to the content of those materials easily.

D．The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.

E. The writer should have a better communicating skill.

F. Besides gaining information and understanding, there’s another goal of reading—entertainment.

G. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】B

【4】D

【5】F

【解析】

【1】根据第二段提到the first sense和第三首开始提到the second sense都明确指向A项的in two distinct senses,而E选项的thus表示的因果逻辑关系也和前一句reading for inofrmation和understanding合理链接，故A项正确。

【2】后一句话“这样的材料增加我们信息的存储，但是不能提到我人瓣理解”，所以在此处与理解无关，与信息有关，并且后句话中的such materials的代词指代作用，故选C项。

【3】前句话强调作者可以提高读者的理解力。后句话强调读者可以从作者账目 学习。选项B的such communication 代词的指代作用可以对应前面的is communicating，B项可以和前后文对应

【4】前句话inequality in undeing强调了读者和作者的不对等，满足这个信息的有B项和D项。后句话中his book指代前句话某个人，故D项合适。

【5】后两句中提到can read for entertainment 非常明显提示75题答案在F和G两个包含entertainment 的信息中，而文章第四段讲得分别是reading for information和reading for understanding,第五段reading for entertainment 是新的一分支结构，故F 项besides这个逻辑关系非常附属前后结构，故选 F 项。
