请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项.

　　The three most valuable brand(商标)names on earth : Marlboro, Coca-cola and Budweiser, in that order.

　　It’s interesting that of the three most valuable brand names on earth, NONE of them are good for you.

　　Cigarettes kill 370,000 people a year in the U.S., not counting passive smoke. That’s over 1,000 people per day, equaling to five giant jets crashing daily. The estimates are that passive cigarette smoke kills over 15,000 people per year. That’s more than illegal drugs.

    Coke is a solid company, but let’s face it, carbonated(含二氧化碳的) soft drinks of any brand are not healthy for you. There was a fellow parked in my driveway years ago. We were talking and he was drinking a cola. For some reason I had moved the cola and placed it on the hood (发动机罩) of his car.

　　“Don’t put that drink on my car!” he shouted. “Don’t you know the acid(酸) in that drink will eat the paint off my car?” he said. He quickly took the drink and finished drinking it.

　　The third most valuable brand in the world is a beer.

　　It’s interesting what we value the most. You can’t control what the world values. You can only control what you value.

　　What do you value? Is it really valuable?

　　One method of determining what you really value is to try to do without it. If you can’t do it without it, then that’s what you value.

　　Are you trying to get to the mountaintop with a cigarette in your mouth, a soda in one hand, and a beer in the other because those are the things that you can’t do without?

　　Stop and think about your real treasures.“For where your treasure is, there will be your heart also ...”

57. How many people are killed by passive cigarette smoke per day?

　A. about 1,000       B. about 15,000      C. about 40         D. about 370,000

58. Why did the fellow take the cola and finish drinking it immediately?

　A. Because cola was good for his health.

　B. Because cola would damage the paint of his car.

There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very lowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points.

A type of reading which necessitates(需要) careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practise this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.

68．This article is mainly concerned with ________.

       A．the ability to read fast    

       B．difference in the speed and efficiency of reading

       C．different reading skills   

       D．the reading speed of highly educated adults

69．According to the article, there is a difference in reading speed ________.

       A．among adult readers

       B．among young educated people

       C．among readers who have different experiences

       D．between the poorly educated and the highly educated

70．The underlined word "regress" can be best replaced by "________".

       A．regret       B．stop   C．move slowly    D．go back

71．The author believes a good reader should ________.

       A．always read at great speed     

B．read carefully and catch every detail

       C．always review the text he has read 

D．change his speed according to the type of text

第三部分: 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。        

Do you enjoy reading? Do you read newspapers or magazines? Chances are, if you do any of these activities, your pre-school child is on his way to becoming a reader.

The process of learning to read is complex, and one of the most important things to know is that parents can help their children learn to read. As children have conversations with adults, they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.

There are many opportunities for adults and children to talk together, such as when riding in the car or in a bus, doing housework like fixing dinner, or bathing and getting ready for bed. A major part of conversation is listening. When children talk, adults listen and respond. Then children listen and respond, and so the flow of conversation happens.

Have you watched you pre-school child pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers? Have you read his favorite story over and over? These experiences tell children that reading is fun. And when things are fun and they are repeated, your child will see letters. He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the letters that make up his name. A natural next step for him to take is to write the letters.

When children see parents make a grocery list, they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list. To encourage these beginning writing activities, have pencils, markers, crayons and scrap paper within your children’s reach.

The more children get connected with talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them to become active readers. While you as a parent have a big influence on these early behaviors, it is important to remember that opportunities for literacy experiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines（日常生活）of everyday life.

56. The third paragraph tells us that parents can talk with their children__________.

   A. during daily routines          B. only in quiet places

   C. in their spare time            D. when they are eager to walk

57. During the process of learning to read, children may _________.

   A .copy the action of the adults.

   B. prefer to talk with those of their own age.

   C. keep their interest in reading all the time.

   D. waste a lot of paper and other materials.

58. When do children want to learn to write?

   A. When their parents ask them to do so.

   B. When they believe they can write well.

   C. When they remember what their parents taught them.

   D. When they can connect letters with familiar words.

59. The passage is written to _____________.

   A. talk about parents’ influence on their children’s behavior

B. encourage parents to set a good example to their children

   C. advise parents to make reading a part of their children’s daily life
