    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.
    小题1: The passage implies that the SQ3R method          .
    A．needs to be proveB．leaves much to be desired
    C．turns out to be practicableD．cannot be used by every reader
    小题2:The SQ3R method consists of steps          .
    A．threeB．fourC．fiveD．seven
    小题3: According to the passage, the first step helps the readers          .
    A．read the first several paragraphsB．scan the whole chapter
    C．study the graphsD．get the theme of chapter
    小题4: 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.

    Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling．Recycling in the home is very important of course．However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need．We are dealing with the results of that over–consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place．
    The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005．It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK．In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard．
    Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment．The UK, for example, is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste．If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect．Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy．The solution is not to produce such items in the first place．Food waste is a serious problem, too．Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need．However, few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example．
    But this is not just about supermarkets．It is about all of us．We have learned to associate packaging with quality．We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality．This is especially true of food．But it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary．
    There are signs of hope．As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected．We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb．
    小题1:What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?
    A．Using too much packaging．
    B．Recycling too many wastes．
    C．Making more products than necessary．
    D．Having more material than is needed．
    小题2:The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ___________．
    A．the tendency of cutting household waste
    B．the increase of packaging recycling
    C．the rapid growth of supermarkets
    D．the fact of packaging overuse
    小题3:According to the text, recycling ___________．
    A．helps control the greenhouse effect
    B．means burning packaging for energy
    C．is the solution to gas shortage
    D．leads to a waste of land
    小题4:What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
    A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality．
    B．Supermarkets care more about packaging．
    C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging．
    D．Other products are better packaged than food．

    Have you ever heard a news reporter talk about DNA? Reporters talk about DNA found at the scene of a crime. They talk about police finding DNA “fingerprints.” Police sometimes use DNA as a clue to find out who committed the crime.
    DNA is a substance（物质） that makes up genes. Everything alive has genes. Plans have genes. Animals have genes. You have genes.
    Genes are the basic units of heredity（遗传）. Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father.
    Genes are a kind of code. A tree’s genes tell what shape its leaves will be. A cat’s genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes.
    Genes line up on strands（链） called chromosomes（染色体） in cells. Everything alive is made up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells.
    Different parts of you are made of different kinds of cells. Your muscles are made of muscle celIs. Your skin is made of skin cells. The code in your genes tells your body to make different kinds of cells. The genes in each cell tell the cell how to work. They tell the cell when to make new copies of itself.
    An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plants. He experimented with pea plants in the 1860s. One of the things, or traits（特质）， Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some short. He said that the traits must come from units of heredity passed from the parent plants. These units were later called genes.
    In the mid-1900s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases-diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by changing genes through a process called gene therapy.
    小题1: What is DNA?
    A．DNA is a kind of gene.
    B．DNA is a substance that makes up genes.
    C．DNA is the basic unit of heredity.
    D．DNA is a measure to protect crime.
    小题2: Which of the following about genes is correct according to the passage?
    A．Plants, animals and human beings have the same genes.
    B．Half people inherit all genes from their mother, others from their father.
    C．Genes decide the trees shapes, the cats’ fur color and our eyes’ color as well.
    D．Genes will give you a code when you need them.
    小题3:Where are genes?
    A．Genes lining up on strands called chromosomes are in the center of cells.
    B．Genes hide in everything alive in your body.
    C．Genes can be nowhere but in your mind, controlling all your actions.
    D．Genes travel in your body and help cope skin, muscle, and eyes.
    小题4:An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel         .
    A．first saw inherited patterns in people
    B．was interested in why plants were different
    C．first called the units of heredity from parents genes
    D．was the first who discovered genes

    A．scientists were less intelligent than monks in 1900s
    B．some genes are bad and can cause diseases
    C．we don’t need to worry about genetic diseases any longer
    D．the discovery of genes may be of great help in our daily life

    Imagine a boy from a small village in East Africa. He, since a very early age, has been looking after cattle. At twelve years old he knows more about cattle than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has this boy had any education?
    Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us — our parents, brothers, sisters, friends — are our teachers. In fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning on the day we were born, not on the first day we go to school. Every day we have new experiences, like finding a bird’s nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didn’t like before. New experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people.
    Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as many as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesn’t tell you whether you are good at it.
    We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can’t do everything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways.
    小题1: The writer takes the African boy as an example to show that _______.
    A．African children are very poor.B．some children are unlucky.
    C．there are many kinds of education.D．schools are of great importance.
    小题2:In the opinion of the writer,       .
    A．we have to learn from the people around us.B．the school is not important at all.
    C．only people who care for us can teach us.D．education takes place everywhere.
    小题3: One can find out what he / she is good at by     _.
    A．what people encourage him/ her to do.B．the teachings of those he / she meets.
    C．thinking about it when growing up.D．trying and practising things.
    小题4: The passage tells us that _    .
    A．everyone gets education from the day he or she was born.
    B．different classes of people receive different kinds of education.
    C．the school is absolutely necessary if one wants to understand the world.
    D．everyone will find out what he or she is good at.
    小题5:According to the last paragraph, we know that       .
    A．the school is not so important as our living places.
    B．the school enables us to understand the world in other ways.
    C．the school teaches us things which are useless at home.
    D．the school cannot prepare us for our daily lives.

    Rare birds in the UK have been living far better than the more common birds over the last decade due to the efforts of conservation organisations, according to a new assessment.
    The research shows almost 60% of the 63 rare birds that live in the UK have increased over the last 10 years.
    By contrast, only about one third of common species have increased over the same period. Just 28% of rare birds have decreased over the same period, compared with four out of every 10 common birds. The rare birds described in the assessment with increasing populations include the osprey (鹗) and corncrake (秧鸡). All of these birds are subject to conservation action.
    The declining common birds include the nightingale, swift (雨燕), house sparrow and red grouse (苏格兰雷鸟). These are suffering declines for a variety of reasons, including changes in farming practices.
    Dr David Noble, from the British Trust for Ornithology, said: “That some of our rarer birds have responded to targeted conservation action is great news. It shows just what can be achieved. What we need to do now is to continue the good work and use some of the lessons we have learned to help our more common birds.”
    Dr Mark Avery, the conservation director of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), said: “Over the last decade we've enjoyed some great conservation successes, including removing some threatened species from the World Conservation Union's Red List of Thratened Animals and increasing the populations of red kite, osprey, etc. However, these successes are countered (抵消) by continued declines of some widespread species.”
    The overview of 210 native birds has been produced by a group of conservation organisations, to mark the publication of The State of the UK's Birds report, which is in its l0th year. The report was published by the RSPB for a group of conservation organisations.
    小题1: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The decline of widespread birds is not worrying for the UK.
    B．The UK has got some practical experience of bird conservation.
    C．Changes in farming practices contribute to the increase of rare birds.
    D．Half of common birds have decreased in the past ten years in the UK.
    小题2:We can learn from the passage that Dr David Noble      .
    A．hopes that conservation organisations will change the way they work
    B．is quite disappointed with the result of the new assessment
    C．is losing confidence in conservation organizations’ action
    D．has high hopes for the increase in bird population in Britain
    小题3: Which of the following can best explain Dr Mark Avery's words?
    A．The UK should not be satisfied with what they have achieved.
    B．The UK should share their experience with other countries.
    C．What conservation organisations do is far from satisfactory.
    D．The RSPB is responsible for the decrease of common birds.
    小题4:The passage is most likely to be found in a book about      .
    A．popular science B．historical events
    C．nature D．society
    小题5: The author's purpose of writing this article is to tell people      .
    A．some good ways to protect rare birds
    B．the differences between rare birds and common birds
    C．the number of rare birds has increased over the last decade
    D．some widespread birds in the UK are in great need of help

    “A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,”says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie’s opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing, “If you aren’t telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed.”she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,”she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. I’ve told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them. I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said‘Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a writer.’So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”
    This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的)and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免的)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I’ll never go back,”she said.“Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that’s important, because children now know so much so early that romance can’t exist for them, as it did for us.”
    小题1: What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
    A．It should not aim at a narrow audience.
    B．It should be attractive to young readers.
    C．It should be based on original ideas.
    D．It should not include too much conversation.
    小题2: In Mollie Hunter’s opinion, which of the following is one sign of poor writer?
    A．Being poor in life experience
    B．Being short of writing skill.
    C．The weakness of description
    D．The absence of a story.
    小题3:What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child？
    A．She didn’t expect to become a writer.
    B．She didn’t enjoy writing stories.
    C．She didn’t have any particular ambition.
    D．She didn’t respect her teacher’s view.
    小题4:In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that children now are _____.
    A．more intelligent
    B．better informed
    C．less eager to learn
    D．less interested in reality
    小题5: What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?
    A．To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s book.
    B．To introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience.
    C．To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.
    D．To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books.

    LAS VEGAS (AFP) — Children may not like it but a British technology firm has invented an electronic babysitter -- a wristwatch-like device that lets parents know where their children are at all times.
    The GPS Child Locator, or num8, attaches securely to a child’s wrist and contains a Global Positioning System (GPS), said Matthew Salmon, a spokesman for the manufacturer, lok8u.
    "It uses GPS and GSM (Global System for Mobiles) technology with an accuracy of 10 feet (three meters)," he said. "It tracks your child."
    "It only starts working when the device is connected to the child’s wrist," Salmon said, and is "very difficult to get off."
    "Even if the child managed to get it off it would send an emergency text message through to your mobile phone," he said. "It would give you a Google Maps image with their exact location, the street name and the zip code."
    When a child is wearing the device, a parent sends the text message "wru" and the child’s current location is sent back to a mobile phone or computer.
    Parents can also log on to the company website to discover their child’s present location.
    "You can also set up a perimeter, an invisible fence, and if they wander out of this invisible fence which you put on the Internet it will warn you," Salmon said. "It will text you immediately."
    Salmon said the device is waterproof and shockproof and lasts for three days with a full charge.
    It will be available in both Britain and the United States this year and retails for 200 dollars with a 10 dollar a month subscription fee.
    He said the company had received thousands of inquiries about the device since launching it this week. "Fifty percent are positive, 50 percent are negative, that it’s a bit Big Brotherish," he said. "But it’s really just about letting you have freedom of mind."
    小题1:Only when       does the device begin to work.
    A．it uses GPS and GSM technologyB．it is put within about 3 meters
    C．it’s joined to parents’ computerD．it is fastened to the child’s wrist
    小题2:If a child is wearing the “wristwatch”, parents can track them by      .
    A．sending the text message “wru”B．replying to the text message
    C．getting a Google Maps pictureD．phoning the local police station
    小题3:What Can we conclude from the text?
    A．It won’t be easily found if a child loses t11e device
    B．The device won’t work while a child is swimming
    C．Parents can easily track children due to the device
    D．The new product needs to be fully charged daily
    小题4:The purpose of the text is to      .
    A．explain how to use the new device
    B．attract more buyers to the new product
    C．discuss advantages of a new invention
    D．introduce a new electronic equipment

    Because plants cannot move or talk, it is believed that they have no feelings and that they cannot receive signals from outside. However, this may not be completely true.
    People who studied plants have found out that plants carry a small electrical charge (电荷). It is possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called “galvanometer”. The galvanometer is placed on a leaf off the plant, and it records any changes in the electrical field of the leaf. Humans have a similar field which can change when we are shocked or frightened.
    A man called Backster used a galvanometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at his results. He found that if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of them － perhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its pot － then the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants showed a change in the electrical field. It seemed as if the plants were signalling a feeling of shock. This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants, but also when he destroyed other living things such as insects (昆虫).
    Backster said that the plants also knew if someone had destroyed a living thing some distance away, because they signalled when a man who had just cut down a tree entered the room.
    Another scientist, named Sauvin, achieved similar results to Backster’s. He kept galvanometers fixed to his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what the plants were doing. If he was out of the office, he telephoned to find out about the signals the plants were sending. In this way, he found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact times when he felt strong pleasure or pain. In fact, Sauvin could cause a change in the electrical field of his plants over a distance of a few miles simply by thinking about them.
    60. Why was Backster surprised at the results of his studies?
    A. Because he found someone had just cut down a tree.
    B. Because he destroyed a plant by pulling it out of its pot.
    C. Because he found that plants could move and speak after all.
    D. Because he found that plants could express feelings of shock.
    61. The plants sent out signals _____.
    A. only when Backster Started to destroy plants
    B. when Backster destroyed plants or other living things
    C. only when he destroyed things such as insects
    D. only when Backster placed the galvanometer on the leaves of the plants
    62. The scientist called Sauvin _____.
    A. did not agree with Backster’s ideas
    B. did not get the same sort of results as Backster did
    C. found out some of the same things that Backster did
    D. got different results from Backster’s
    63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. The electrical charge plants carry may shock or frighten us.
    B. A tree will signal when it has been cut down.
    C. Sauvin could make his plants send out signals some distance away.
    D. Plants have feelings because they can receive signals without moving.
