The first step is to survey (the S step) the chapter by reading the title, introduction, section headin

13、gs, 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

14、 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 Rs ) is to read to find the answer to your questions. Then at the end of each

15、section, before going on to the next section, you recite ( the second of the 3 Rs) the answers to the questions that you 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 steps 2,

16、3 and 4 for each section. You review ( the last of the 3 Rs) 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 t

17、he form of asking and answering the questions formed from 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.36.The passage implies that the SQ3R method _.A. needs to be provenB. leaves much to be desiredC. turns out t

21、t 25 percent of the nations wealth. This class has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich” families that have been wealthy for several generations an aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable

22、members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockefellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion (深居简出), drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower-upper class i

23、s the “new rich”. Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled (急于做) to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their mo

24、ney, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to excl

25、usive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class.

31、oss the seas of time? Its chicken soup, one prominent American food expert says.From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even the 12th century phil

32、osopher and physician Moses Mainmides extolled (赞美) its virtues.Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. Chickens got another boost (吹捧) in the book of Genesis, where it is written that bird

33、s and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four-legged animals.But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three years exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chickens real or imagined curative (治愈) powers comes from its color.Her new book, “The Who

34、le World Loves Chicken Soup”, looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. “Throughout the ages,” she said, “there has been a lot of feeling that white-colored foods are easier to eat for the weak -women and the ill.” In addition, “soups, or anything for th

35、at matter eaten with a spoon” are considered “comfort foods.” Sheraton said.“I love soup and love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish . It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder,” Sheraton said from her New York home.He

36、r book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new.The National Broiler Council, the. trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that 51 percent of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50 percent said it was versatile, 41 percent said it was econ

37、omical and 46 percent said it was low in fat.46.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Prominent American Foods.B. History of the Chicken Soup.C. Chicken Soup Recipes.D.

40、 than any other foodD. All of the aboveKey: D, B, C, A, BPassage FourThroughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life.With the tools of technology he has altered many physical features of the earth. He has transformed woodlands into farmland, and made l

41、akes and reservoirs out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power. Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.However, mans changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial results. Today,

42、 pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles; smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of countryside. The air in cities is becoming i

43、ncreasingly unhealthy.The pollution of water is equally harmful. In the sea, pollution from oil is increasing and is killing enormous numbers of algae (水藻), fish and birds. The whole ecological balance of the sea is being changed. The same problem exists in rivers. Industrial wastes have already mad

44、e many rivers lifeless.Conservationists believe that it is now necessary for man to limit the growth of technology in order to survive on earth.51.Man has changed his physical environment with a view to _.A. altering the physical features of the earthB. bettering his way of lifeC. improving his surr

48、o the protection of the natural environmentKey: B, B, C, A, DPassage FiveWe all associate colors with feeling and attitudes. In politics dark blue often means “tradition”, and red means “social change”. But blue can also mean sadness (Im feeling blue). White is often for purity, although in China wh

49、ite is worn for funerals, and red is used to express the joy of a wedding, in western Europe white is worn at weddings and black for funerals.Advertisers are aware of the importance of selecting colors according to the way people react to them. Soap powders come in white and light blue packets (clea

50、n and cold, like ice); cereals often come in brown packets (like wheat fields), but cosmetics never come in brown jars (dirty!).Where do these ideas come from? Maxi Luscher from the University of Geneva believes that in the beginning life was dictated by two factors beyond our control: night and day

51、. Night brought passivity, and a general slowing down of metabolism (新陈代谢); day brought with it the possibility of action, and increase in the metabolic rate, thus providing us with energy and initiative. Dark blue, therefore, is the color of quiet and passivity, bright yellow the color of hope and

52、activity.In prehistoric times, activity as a rule took one of two forms: either we were hunting and attacking, or were being hunted and defending ourselves against attack. Attack is universally represented by the color red; self-preservation by its complement green.56.In Luschers view, the associati

53、on of colors with feeling and attitudes can be traced back to the association of _.A. day and night with passivity and action in ancient timeB. black with funerals in western EuropeC. white with purity in some countriesD. red with joy in China57.Which of the following is NOT true?A.

54、 tragedy.B. Dark blue means tradition.C. Dark blue represents nightD. Dark blue indicates quietness.58.Soap powders come in white and light blue packets to _.A. resemble iceB. show qualityC. suggest purityD. attract customers59.In Luschers view, which of the following colors is associated with defen

55、se?A. Red.B. Blue.C. Dark.D. Green.60.According to the passage, what kind of people would probably favor yellow?A. People who are passive and conservative.B. People who are creative and aggressive.C. People who are hopeful and active.D. People who are ideal and dreamy.Key: A, A, D, D, CPassage SixMo

56、re surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving. As Skolnick notes, Americans are a marrying people: relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline in the early 1970

57、s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context: some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.What has cha

58、nged more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty-five years ago, the typical American family consisted of a husband, a wife, and two or three children. Now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where at least some of the c

59、hildren are from the wifes previous marriage, or the husbands, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses (配偶).Thus, one can find the very type of family arrangement. There are marriages

60、 without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage; marriages with “full-time” children from the present marriage and “part-time” children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half-bothers, and half-sisters. It is not all that unusual for a child to have

61、four parents and eight grandparents! These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, there remains one constant: most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.61.By calling Americans marrying people the author means that _.A. Ameri

62、cans are more traditional than EuropeansB. Americans expect more out of marriage than EuropeansC. there are more married -couples in U.S.A than in EuropeD. more of Americans, as compared with Europeans, prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age62.Divorced Americans _.A. will most likely re

63、marryB. prefer the way they liveC. have lost faith in marriageD. are the vast majority of people in the society63.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of todays American families?A. A typical American family consists of-only a husband and a wife.B. Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.C. Americans prefer to have more kids than before.D. There- are no nuclear families any more.64.“Part-time” children _.A. spend some of their time with their half-brothers and some of their time with their half-sistersB. s
