试题分析: 考察动名词做主语的用法。句意：把你的手表拨快5分钟是一个非常有效的避免迟到的办法。这里做主语，用动名词，所以去掉A; set与watch为动宾关系，所以要用主动式，去掉D; B表示动作发生在谓语动作前，这里没有这种意思。因此答案为C。

根据短文内容，从下框的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项．
A．Pay Attention to the Organization of an Article.
B．Check Your Understanding.
C．Lightning Speed Exercise
D．Set Aside Time Each Day.
E．Check Your Progress through Pacing
F．Speed up When Necessary.
【小题1】______
Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity. For example, one famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each day. Whether he went to bed at 10 p.m. or 2:30 a.m. made no difference.
【小题2】______
Nearly all ‘speed reading’ courses have a ‘pacing’ element---some timing device which lets the students know how many words a minutes he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached.
【小题3】______
Obviously there is little point in increasing your reading speed if you do not understand what you are reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you can’t remember clearly the details of what was said, re-read the section or chapter.
【小题4】______
Take four or five pages of an interesting book you happen to be reading at the time. Read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. After a ‘lightning speed’ of reading, you will usually find that your ‘normal’ speed has increased.
【小题5】______
Most paragraphs in an article have a ‘topic sentence’ which expresses the central ideas. The opening paragraph often suggests the general direction and content of the piece, while paragraphs that follow expand or support the first. The closing paragraph often summarizes the very essence(实质) of what has been said.

Thoughts claim our attention continuously, and waste our time and energy on unimportant and useless matters. They actually rule our life. We have become so used to this slavery, that we take it for granted, and have become unconscious of this habit, except on certain occasions.

While breathing, we do not need to pay attention to each inhalation and exhalation. We become conscious of the process of breathing only when we have some difficulty with breathing, such as when our nose is blocked, due to a cold, or when we are in an unventilated(不通风的) room.

It is the same with thinking. We become conscious of the constant onslaught of our thoughts, and of our inability to calm them down, only when we need to concentrate, solve a problem or study. We are also aware of them when we have worries or fears.

Look at the following familiar situation. You need to study something for an exam. You sit comfortably on the sofa with the book in your hands and start reading. After a while you feel hungry and go to the kitchen to eat something.

You return to read, and then hear your people talking outside. You listen to them for several moments and then bring your attention back to the book.

After a while you feel restless and switch on the radio to listen to some music. You continue to read for a little while, and then remember something that happened yesterday, and you start thinking about it.

When you look at your watch, you are amazed to find out that one complete hour has passed and you have hardly read anything. And at this time, you feel you’re thinking.

This is what happens when one lacks concentration. Imagine what you could have accomplished if you could control your attention and focus your mind!

1.When can you feel you are thinking?

A. While breathing.                                                                    B. While not reading.

C. When you need to concentrate.                                         D. When you waste your time.

2.Why does the author put forward the exam situation?

A. To explain the course of thinking awareness.

B. To show how to get ready for an exam.

C. To present an example of concentration.

D. To emphasize the importance of reading.

3.Where can you most probably find the above passage?

A. In a guidebook of natural science.

B. In the front page of a newspaper.

C. In an advertisement part of a magazine.

D. In the section of psychology of a magazine.

4.This passage is mainly about _______.

A. the relationship between thoughts and breathing

B. how people’s thought and mind work

C. what happens when one wants to think

D. the ways to increase your thought

 

 

         Communicating effectively means more than knowing what to say and when to say it. Communication involves the subtle signals your body language sends to those who are watching. Here are some common body actions and the impressions they create:

● Fiddling (好动) — Playing with your watch or a pen looks like you’re bored or impatient.

● Clock watching — It looks like you’re to move on to something else.

● Tapping  — Tapping your feet or fingers suggests you are impatient or nervous.

● Staring — An unblinking (不眨眼的) stare conveys threatening or violent behaviour.

● Legs crossed or body hunched (弓背，耸肩)  — Closing up your body profile — becoming smaller — looks like you lack confidence.

● Arms crossed  — If you keep your arms folded during communication, you appear to be defending yourself against the others.

● Touching your face  — When you have your hand in front of your mouth, you appear very shy.

● Rubbing your nose, looking away  — People who are lying often rub their nose or look away when speaking.

● No eye contact  — If you won’t look the other speaker in the eye, you seem to have low interest or a lack of confidence. (Don’t forget staring above.)

         How you communicate with your body language is just as important as what you say. Watch your body language and control the unconscious messages you might be sending.

68. According to the passage, effective communication includes all of the following EXCEPT　_____.

   A. knowing what to say   

   B. sending unconscious messages to other people

   C. saying the right thing at the right time

   D. getting information from the other speaker’s body language

69. Which of the following people looks shy according to the passage?

A.                        B.        

C.                   D.   

70. If you want to show confidence when communicating, you should ______.

   A. cross your legs or hunch your body               

   B. avoid direct eye contact

   C. look the other speaker in the eye   

   D. keep touching your face

71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

   A. How to make a good impression on others

   B. Can you read body language?

   C. Control your body language for effective communication

   D. How to send effective information through body language

 

 

 Wait for a few minutes, your watch____ now.

A. will be repaired     B. has been repaired    C. is being repaired    D. has repaired
