3.Reading is to success what water is to fish.Apparently every successful person develops a passion for reading.This is because reading is a key element to obtain the information required to understand something.For instance,lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches.Sometimes the law changes according to people's needs.A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court.A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.Reading is very important for all mankind.Everything is relative in this world,especially reading.Reading can open many doors and it can lead you into a path of success.Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good.This way your child will develop a passion for reading.
How do you develop a passion for reading?There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading.Let me explain this to you.If you want to learn how to ride a bike,you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned.It works the same way with reading.If you want to boost your reading,take a book and read it all the way through when you finish reading your first book,take another book and do the same.Try to read as much as you can.If you are going out,grab a magazine,a book,an article or something to read.
There is a very important factor behind the reading--reading comprehension.It's what makes you understand the meaning behind the text.Let's assume that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document.How would you explain the document if you couldn't capture (捕捉) the message of the author?

解答 32-35 DBCA
32.D 主旨题.由第一段第一句"Reading is the key to success."和第二段第一句"Reading is very important for all mankind."及两段大意可知,前两段主要在讲阅读的重要性,故正确答案为D.
33.B 细节题.由最后一段第二句"It's what makes you understand the meaning behind the text."可知,reading comprehension 指的是能让你理解所读内容的东西,故正确答案为B.
34.C 细节题.第三段主要谈怎样培养阅读的兴趣,作者先是举了学骑自行车的例子,然后陈述自己的观点,即尽可能多的阅读,出去的时候也要带上杂志等读物来阅读.所以C项正确.D项"按时间顺序",A项"对比不同人的观点",B项"提出一个原因并研究其结果",均不符合文章,故正确答案为C.
35.A 推断题.文章最后一段介绍了 reading comprehension 是什么以及它的重要性,以此推断文章接下来可能介绍怎样提高 reading comprehension,所以A项正确.C项"著名的热爱阅读的人",B项"在学校读书的重要性",D 项"流行的阅读网站",均不能与前文衔接,故正确答案为A.
点评 阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断;或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释.考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点.

18.New research offers fresh insight on when to launch a product or service,and shows that being first to market isn't always a competitive advantage.
In 2004,David Cohen had an idea for a social network for mobile phones that would connect users in the real world.His company,called iContact,launched a beta version ( 测试版 ),and seemed ready to tap the muchpublicized mobile software market.Cohen,then 36,had already founded a successful software company.

One of the consequences of the terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan on 11March was,of course,a leak of radiation at the Fukushima nuclear power station on the country's east coast.Soon afterwards,all the people living within twenty kilometres of the plant were told to leave because of the danger from the radiation.
77.B
The pros and cons of nuclear power always come up in debates about how the world should produce the energy it needs.Those who think the risks are too great can obviously use Chernobyl-and now Fukushima-in their argument,while also pointing out that nuclear waste stays radioactive for hundreds of years,and asking what might happen if terrorists ever chose to attack a nuclear power plant.Those who support nuclear power point out that a very small amount of nuclear fuel can create a huge amount of energy,and that unlike the burning of fossil fuels such as oil,coal and natural gas,nuclear power stations don't contribute to global warming by pushing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
78.E
Most of the world's energy currently comes from fossil fuels,but this can't go on forever.As well as the problem of global warming there is the simple fact that the Earth has a limited amount of these resources.They will eventually run out-although there is a lot of disagreement about when that might be.
79.F
Apart from nuclear power,which currently provides less than 10% of the world's energy,the other alternative is energy from renewable sources.These include hydropower,biofuels (made mostly from crops),wind power and solar power,and together they currently provide around 15% of the world's energy.Some scientists think renewable energy is the great hope for the future-not only because it won't run out but also because it is less risky than nuclear power and produces far fewer greenhouse gases than burning fossil fuels.
80.C
Other scientists,however,believe we will never produce enough renewable energy to fill the gap when fossil fuels begin to run out.That is why,even while watching the very worrying events in Japan,they argue that nuclear power will always have to be part of the solution to the world's energy problems.
