When you practice reading with passages shorter than book length, do not try to take in each word separately, one after the other. It is much more difficult to grasp the broad theme of the passage this way, and you will also get the stuck on individual words which may not be absolutely essential to a general understanding of the passage. It is a good idea to skim through the passage very quickly first to get the general idea of each paragraph. Titles, paragraph headings and emphasized words can be a great help in getting this skeleton outline of the passage. It is surprising how many people do not read titles, introductions or paragraph headings. Can you, without looking back, remember the title of this passage and the heading of this paragraph?
Most paragraphs of a passage or chapter have a 'topic sentence' which expresses the central idea. The remaining sentences expand or support that idea. It has been estimated that between 50% and 90% of all expositive（說明的）paragraphs in English have the topic sentence first. Always pay special attention to the first sentence of a paragraph, it is most likely to give you the main idea.
Sometimes, though, the first sentence in the paragraph does not have the feel of 'main idea' sentence. It does not seem to give us enough new information to justify a paragraph. The next most likely place to look for the topic sentence is the last sentence of the paragraph.
Remember that the opening and closing paragraphs of a passage or chapter are particularly important. The opening paragraph suggests the general direction and content of the piece, while the closing paragraph often summarizes the very essence（精髓）.
1.It is a good idea to skim through a passage quickly first ____________.
A. at about 315 w.p.m.（words per minute）
B. to get the general idea of each paragraph
C. so that you can take in each work separately
D. to make sure you get to the end at least once
2.The topic sentence of an expository paragraph in English _____________.
A. usually comes in the middle
B. is most likely to be found at the end
C. is most often at the beginning
D. is usually left out in expository writing
3.Most expository paragraphs in English have a clearly defined topic sentence. In such paragraphs the topic sentence comes first ________.
A. in about 5% of cases B in about 80% of cases
C. in about 20% cases D. very rarely
4.Sometimes we know the first sentence is not the topic sentence because ____________.
A. it does not seem to give us enough new information
B. it is not long enough
C. it does not come at the beginning
D. it does not make a complete sentence
5.The closing paragraph of a piece of writing ____________.
A. is not really very important
B. is often unnecessary repetition
C. often comes at the end
D. often summarizes the essence of the passage

George Eberhardt turned 107 last month, and scientists would love to know how he and other older folks like him made it that far. So he's going to hand over some of his DNA.
He's one of 100 centenarians(百歲老人) taking part in a project that examines some of the oldest citizens with one of the newest scientific tools: whole-genome sequencing(全基因組測試), the deciphering of a person's complete collection of DNA.
Scientists think DNA from very old healthy people could offer clues to how they have lived so long. And that could one day lead to medicines to help the rest of us stay disease-free longer.
"It's very hard to get to 105 without some genetic advantages," says Dr. Thomas Perls, a geriatrics(老年醫(yī)學(xué)) expert at Boston University. Dr.Perls is helping find centenarians for the Archon Genomics X Prize competition. The X Prize Foundation, best known for a spaceflight competition, is offering $10 million in prize money to researchers who decipher the complete DNA code from 100 people older than 100. The contest will be judged on accuracy, completeness and the speed and cost of sequencing.
Mr. Eberhardt played and taught tennis until he was 94and says he's participating in the X Prize project because he's interested in science and technology. It's not clear his genes will reveal much. Nobody else in his extended family reached 100, and he thinks only a couple reached 90, he said in a telephone interview.
So why does he think he lived so long? He attributes it to 70 years of marriage to his wife, Marie. She in turn cites his "intense interest in so many things" over a lifetime, from building radios as a child to pursuing a career in electronics research.
But scientists believe there's more to it, and they want to use genome sequencing to investigate. Dr. Richard Cawthon of the University of Utah, who is seeking longevity genes by other means, says it may turn up genetic features that protect against multiple diseases or that slow the process of aging in general.
1.What does the underlined word “deciphering” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. Separating. B. Interpreting.
C. Gathering. D. Comparing.
2.________ will not be judged by the Archon Genomics X prize competition.
A. How many genes are studied
B. How precise the sequencing is
C. How fast the research is finished
D. The number of researchers
3.The fourth paragraph is mainly about ________.
A.what the Archon Genomics X prize competition is about
B.the significance of studying the genes that lead to longevity
C.how whole-genome sequencing is applied to the study of genes
D.the genetic advantages the centenarians have
4.Which of the following is TRUE about Mr. Eberhardt?
A.He doesn’t have any genetic advantages.
B.Most of his family have been long-lived.
C.His genes don’t reveal much about why he has lived so long.
D.He enjoyed doing electronics research.
5.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.Comparing One Hundred Centenarians
B.Who Will Win the Archon Genomics X Prize Competition?
C.A New Technology--- Whole –Genome Sequencing
D.Is the Secret to a Long Life in the DNA of Centenarians?

There are many great movie directors of all time and the following are five of those who have largely impressed audience with their body of work.
As a member of the New Hollywood gang, Francis Coppola is best remembered for The God Father series. His decision to cast Marlon Brando in the lead also met with fierce opposition from the studio bosses. Good sense became popular, and The God Father went on to become one of the most memorable movies ever. Critics may point out that he has become less creative after his seventies, but try as one might, no one can possibly take the place of this great director’s work.
Stanley Kubrick’s movies focus on the themes like sci-fi, horror, dark humor and war. He used symbolism in most of his movies, giving us some wonderful screen visuals, as shown in 2001: A Space Odyssey. His actors in Hollywood complained about the endless number of retakes, but they appreciated the performance he milked out of them. People argue about films like Lolita, A Clockwork Orange and Paths of Glory, but these are now seen as classics.
Steven Spielberg is a great success at the box office, and he is one of the world’s most popular filmmakers today. As the creator of classics like Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park, ET, Indiana Jones series, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, no one can win his hold over the audience. His critics accuse him of being emotional and over the top, but the fact remains that his movies attract the audience, and set the cash registers ringing.
Woody Allen is a director who directs movies full of crime and hate. This comic genius has given us Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters and Midnight in Paris, which have also become classical. His movies constantly include characters who arouse the audience’s sympathy and laughter at the same time, as they set out on a journey of self-discovery. Hollywood star power has never fazed Allen. Thankfully, awards and honors do not interest him, which results in creativity that is original.
1.What do the directors mentioned in the passage have in common_______?
A. They are interested in awards for their works.
B. They are members of the New Hollywood gang.
C. They have created a lot of movies taken as classics.
D. They focus their themes on negative side of the society.
2.The movie Indiana Jones series is directed by ______.
A. Francis Coppola B. Woody Allen
C. Stanley Kubrick D. Steven Spielberg
3.Stanley Kubrick’s works include the following except ______.
A. Midnight in Paris B. 2001: A Space Odyssey
C. A Clockwork Orange D. Paths of Glory
4.It is implied in the underlined sentence Steven Spielberg ______.
A. was successful in amusing the audience
B. succeeded in making a great box office
C. became much better at creating classics
D. had set a cash register working for himself
5.What will be discussed in the paragraph that follows this passage________?
A. Their contribution to the society
B. The difference between the directors
C. Another famous movie directors
D. More great movies from the directors
