Testing has taken the place of teaching in most public schools. Pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then read the text quickly for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to say proudly and openly that they teach to the test.
Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon（现象）. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some methods of assessment（评价） to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to teach the students in the opposite way. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught.
The ability to read or write might suggest the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparations for a test of a skill with the acquisition（习得）of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this misunderstanding because people are tested rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.
Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple words, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are quite good at test taking and filling in workbooks. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but can’t see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grades that they have no time to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary.
The author mentions Erica’s performance in her study in order to show_________.
A. her cleverness in test taking B. the good way to take tests
C. the improper way of teaching D. the best way to read textbooks
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The teachers are curious about teaching to the test.
B. Skills in general are not only useless but often mislead students.
C. Ability to read and write has nothing to do with ability to do well in tests.
D. Preparations for a test of a skill do not mean the acquisition of that skill.
In the author’s opinion, __________.
A. some good methods of assessment should take the place of tests
B. more attention should be paid to the nature and quality of what is taught
C. students should not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking
D. students needn’t learn grammar skills because they are useless for understanding
By “crisis of comprehension” (in Paragraph 4) the author means many students ______.
A. are too much concerned with grades
B. fail to understand the real goal of education
C. lack proper practice in grammar drills
D. do well on tests but can’t understand what they read

A proven method for effective textbook reading is the SQ3R method developed by Francis Robinson. The first is to survey (the S step) the chapter by reading the title, introduction, section headings, summary., and by studying any graphs, tables, illustrations or charts. The purpose of this step is to get an overview of the chapter so that you will know before you read what it will be about. In the second step (the Q step), for each section you ask yourself questions such as "What do I already know about this topic?" and "What do I want to know?" In this step you also take the section heading and turn it into a question. This step gives you a purpose for reading the section. The third step (the first of the 3 R's) is to read to find the answers to your questions. Then at the end of each section, before going on to the next section, you recite ( the second of the 3 R's) the answers to the questions that formed in the question step. When you recite you should say the information you want to learn out loud in your own words. The fifth step is done after you have completed step 2, 3 and 4 for each section. You review (the last of the 3 R's) the entire chapter. The review is done much as the survey was in the first step. As you review, hold a mental conversation with yourself as you recite the information you selected as important to learn. The mental conversation could take the form of asking and answering the questions formed the headings or reading the summary, which lists the main ideas in the chapter, and trying to fill in the details for each main idea.
The passage implies that the SQ3R method .
A. needs to be prove B. leaves much to be desired
C. turns out to be practicable D. cannot be used by every reader
The SQ3R method consists of steps .
A. three B. four C. five D. seven
According to the passage, the first step helps the readers .
A. read the first several paragraphs B. scan the whole chapter
C. study the graphs D. get the theme of chapter
Which of the following statements is true?
A. In the last step, you should remember all the information.
B. When you finish the last step, you will get both the main idea and the details.
C. The mental conversation involves answering the questions asked by the author.
D. While you are holding a mental conversation you select the important information.

Whether they’re project documents, trade journals, blogs, business books or ebooks, most of us read regularly as part of our jobs, and to develop our skills and knowledge.
But do you ever read what should be a useful document, yet fail to gain any helpful information from it? Or, re-read something several times to get a full understanding of the content? If so, look at the following strategies (策略) that will help you read more effectively.
●Think About What You Want to Know
Before you start reading anything, ask yourself why you’re reading it. Are you reading with a purpose, or just for pleasure? What do you want to know after you’ve read it? Once you know your purpose, you can examine the resource (资源) to see whether it’s going to help you.
Ask yourself whether the resource meets your needs, and try to work out if it will give you the right amount of knowledge. If you think that the resource isn’t consummate, don’t waste time reading it.
●Know How Deeply to Study the Material
Where you only need the shallowest knowledge of a subject, you can skim material. Here you read only chapter headings, introductions, and summaries.
If you need a moderate (中等的) level of information on a subject, then you can scan the text. This is when you read the chapter introductions and summaries in detail. You can then speed read the contents of the chapters, picking out and understanding key words and concepts.
Only when you need full knowledge of a subject is it worth studying the text in detail (细节). Here it’s best to skim the material first to get an overview of the subject. This gives you an understanding of its structure, into which you can then fit the detail gained from a full reading of the material.
【小题1】Why should we know our purpose before reading?
| A．Because we can develop our skills and knowledge. |
| B．Because we can get a full understanding of the content. |
| C．Because we can avoid re-reading something several times. |
| D．Because we can check it out whether the material will be helpful. |
| A．Legal. | B．Natural. | C．Perfect. | D．Formal. |
| A．2. | B．3. | C．4. | D．5. |
| A．Reading Strategies |
| B．Think About What You Want to Know |
| C．Know How Deeply to Study the Material |
| D．How to Develop our Skills and Knowledge |
