         Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Reader's
    Choice.
         _1_ These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the
    writer. They also give students practice in four basic reading skills:skimming, scanning, reading for
    thorough comprehension, and critical reading.
         Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. This kind of
    rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or  __2__
         Like skimming, scanning is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more concentrated.
    __3__  When you read to find a particular date or number, you are scanning.
         Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total  meaning of
    the passage. At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author's ideas   _4_.
         Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of
    reading requires posting and answering questions such as "_5_", "Do I share the author's point of view?"
    and "Am I convinced by the author's arguments and evidence?
    A. Does my own experience support that of the author?
    B. Reader's Choice is one of the most popular magazines in the world.
    C. but has not yet made a critical evaluation of those ideas.
    D. The book contains many types of selections on a wide variety of topics.

    阅读下面短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

       Nowadays in China,parents care about their children’s education more than anything else. They spend a
    lot coaching their children in their studies; those who have time or are not able to do it have tutors hired for their children. Many have their children sent to after-class schools. Some others even have tired to improve their living environment. It seems as if a better education is all that parents expect for their children.
       The situation can be explained by the following reasons. First of all, the swift development of China’s
    economy is calling for more and more skilled and knowledgeable workers and professionals(专业人士). Second, the awareness of today’s parents’ has been growing that success in this world depends more on
    skills and knowledge than on anything else. Skills and knowledge means competitiveness(竞争). At last,
    with school education becoming more and more expensive, it is natural for parents to expect their children could become somebody or doing something great.
       Of course, I’m happy to see much of parents’ attention paid to their children’s education. However, they should not go too far to ignore their children’s abilities and personal qualities. I think the first thing to lean is how to survive and how to be a qualified citizen. if parents can try their best to help children’s characters, it will bring a happy life to their children when they grow up.

         This is the VOA Special English Education Report. A few weeks ago, we talked about the Test of English
    as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL. A listener in Cambodia named Thida asks if American colleges and
    universities also accept the IELTS exam. IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It was
    developed by the University of Cambridge ESOL examiners.
         Cambridge ESOL says the test measures true-to-life ability to communicate in English for education,
    immigration or employment. The IELTS tests listening, reading, writing and speaking skills. It uses a mixture
    of accents and spellings, including British English and American English.
         The test is used by government agencies, schools and professional organizations in one hundred and twenty
    countries. And, yes, that includes the United States. Many American schools that accepted the IELTS can be
    found on the Web at felts, org.
         Some schools accept both the TOEFL and the IELTS, but the graduate school at Duke University in
    Durham, North Carolina, for example, says it prefers the IEITS.
         The listening and speaking parts are the same for everyone who takes the IELTS, but people have a choice
    of reading and writing tests-either academic or general training.
         The listening test takes thirty minutes. There are forty questions based on a recording. The reading test takes
    sixty minutes. Students answer forty questions based on three written passages.
         The writing test also takes sixty minutes. Students have to write two essays. One essay has to be at least
    one hundred and fifty words long and the other at least two hundred and fifty words. The shorter one is
    description of something; the longer one has to support and argument.
         The speaking test takes less than fifteen minutes. The score is based on a recorded talk between the student
    and a test examiner.
         And that's the VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach. If you have a general
    question for our series, write to special@voanews.com. I'm Barbara Klein.
    1. What does TOEFL stand for?
    A. Voice of America.
    B. International English Language Testing System.
    C. Test of English as a Foreign Language.
    D. Test of English as a Native Language.
    2. The International English Language Testing System commonly takes _____ in all.
    A. less than 160 minutes
    B. more than 165 minutes
    C. no more than 160 minutes

         Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease.
    But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away-straight up.
    A decade ago, adapting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military
    purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the
    temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers
    precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which
    invariably includes plants that don't have pest problems.
         Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems
    before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an
    infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a
    color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray,
    using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
         The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in l984, after only three years. Farmers
    resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed
    concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get
    back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique
    can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States", says George Oerther of
    Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks
    remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley  
    finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
    1. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are ________.
    A. sprayed with pesticides        
    B. facing an infrared scanner  
    C. in poor physical condition      
    D. exposed to excessive sun rays
    2. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to       .
    A. estimate the damage to the crops      
    B. draw a color-coded map            
    C. measure the size of the affected area    
    D. locate the problem area
    3. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by        .
    A. resorting to spot-spraying          
    B. consulting infrared scanning experts  
    C. transforming poisoned rain         
    D. detecting crop problems at an early date
    4. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties due to       .
    A. the lack of official support      
    B. its high cost              
    C. the lack of financial support      
    D. its failure to help increase production
    5. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of       .
    A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
    B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
    C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture

         If there is no difference in general intelligence (智力) between boys and girls, what can explain
    girls' poor performance in science and mathematics?
         It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen
    as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them.
    Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been
    suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social
    reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less
    feminine (女性的) and attractive. However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have
    taken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls. This difference
    appears to be world-wide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other
    explanations too. Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much
    earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are enoouraged to work on their own and
    to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding (杰出的) mathematicians and scientists have not had
    teachers who supplied answers.
         Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students
    to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference
    between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer
    questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys
    for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more
    frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give
    them confidence (信心) that they are able to succeed.
         Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses,
    nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens
    the difference between boys and girls.
    1. Girls are likely to think that _____.
    A. science courses are for both boys and girls
    B. science courses make them more popular
    C. science courses make them successful
    D. science courses are difficult for them
    2. The text mainly discusses _____ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific
    achievements.
    A. biological
    B. historical
    C. social
    D. personal
    3. What are boys usually encouraged to do at school?
    A. To get help with their homework.
    B. To play the leading role in class.
    C. To work with girl students in class.
    D. To learn to take care of others .
    4. What does the passage say about great mathematicians?
    A. Their teachers did not supply answers to them.
    B. They started learning mathematics at an earlier age.
    C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.
    D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics.
    5. The author would probably agree that _____.
    A. boys and girls learn in the same way
    B. boys and girls are equal in general intelligence
    C. girls are more confident in themselves than before
    D. girls should take fewer science courses than boys

         On a PC (个人电脑), having to fill out a form and type in a credit card number to buy something
    is only mildly annoying. On a cellphone, it could make you want to skip the purchase entirely.
         This is why investors, startups (初创企业) and major corporations are pouring money into services
    that make it easier to use cellphones to buy goods and transfer money. The aim is to turn phones into
    virtual credit cards or checkbooks, enabling the kind of clickandbuy commerce and online banking that
    people have come to expect on their PCs. But shrinking down (缩小) those services presents serious
    challenges.
         The services must work on many different phones and through many cellphone service providers,
    which usually control the billing relationships with customers. That adds complexity to the already tricky
    business of safely and securely transferring funds among financial institutions and merchants.
         Mobile payment systems have been tried before, with only modest success. Driving a new flurry (一
    阵兴奋) of deal making, industry analysts and executives say, is the success of the iPhone, BlackBerry
    and other sophisticated (尖端的) devices. These phones make complex interactions easier.
         Now the race is on to develop new payment systems-and to get several percentage points in fees
    from each transaction. They're seeing that returns could be so huge. Obopay, a startup that lets people
    transmit money to one another via text message, raised $ 35 million from Nokia's investment. Also, a
    mobile payments startup called Boku announced that it had received $ 13 million in venture capital
    financing.
         When people can use their phone numbers to make a purchase, they are 10 times as likely to follow
    through on a transaction as when they have to type in credit card and billing information, said David
    Marcus, chief executive of a startup called Zong.
         Mobile payment companies also need to get cooperation from merchants, which must add a payment
    option to their mobile sites or applications.
         But the potential opportunity to get fees from the growing number of mobile transactions is too__
    juicy__to__pass__up,__despite the risks, said an analyst with IDC Financial Insights, a market research
    company.
    1. From the passage, we should face ________ great difficulties while purchasing through
        cellphones instead of PCs. 
    A. one                
    B. two
    C. three                
    D. four
    2. According to the passage, using phones to make a purchase is ________.
    A. expensive            
    B. convenient
    C. troublesome          
    D. impossible
    3. What does the underlined phrase "too juicy to pass up" in the last paragraph probably mean?
    A. Too profitable to ignore.                            
    B. Too difficult to seize.
    C. Too heavy to lift.                                    
    D. Too unsafe to handle.
    4. What would be the best title for the passage? 
    A. The Benefit of Purchasing via Cellphone
    B. The Great Risks on Payments via Cellphone

         Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome
    surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobiliser (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre
    miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.
         The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro-processor
    and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded
    cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent
    the engine being restarted.
         In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. 'The pattern of vehicle
    crime has changed,' says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes
    to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10
    years old.
         Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won't allow them to start
    unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies
    like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
         But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting bold of
    the owner's keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking
    system.
         If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to
    an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to
    inaccuracies in the GPS signal.
         Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police
    informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's GPS unit.
    1. What's the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?
    A.  To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.
    B.  To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.
    C.  To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.
    D.  To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.
    2. By saying "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed" (Lines 1-2. Para. 3. , Martyn Randall
    suggests that ________.
    A.  it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealing
    B.  self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft
    C.  the thief has to make use of computer technology
    D.  the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old
    3. What is essential in making a modem car tougher to steal?
    A.  A coded ignition key.
    B.  A unique ID card.
    C.  A special cellphone signal.
    D.  A GPS satellite positioning receiver.
    4. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations
    centre?
    A.  To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.
    B.  To keep police informed of the car's movements.
    C.  To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.
    D.  To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.
    5. What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?
    A.  Start the tracking system.
    B.  Contact the car owner.
    C.  Block the car engine.
    D.  Locate the missing car.
