There is a distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding.1.       

  The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers,

magazines,or anything else.2.        Such materials may increase our store of information,but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information,for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise,we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.

  The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader’s understanding.3.     Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “l(fā)earning” means understanding more,not remembering more information.

  What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First,there is inequality in understanding.4.        Besides,his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second,the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached,success of communication is achieved.

  5.     It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact,any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.

   A. Thus,we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.

   B. Such communication between unequals must be possible.

   C. We can get access to the content of those materials easily.

   D. The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.

   E. The writer should have a better communicating skill.

   F. Besides gaining information and understanding,there’s another goal of reading—entertainment.

   G. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.


[文章大意]本文是一篇說明文，介紹了閱讀的不同作用。閱讀可以為了獲得信息，也可以為了理解而讀。伹是同時(shí)人們還可以為了娛樂而閱讀。

1. A文章開頭提出為了査詢信息而閱讀和為了理解而閱讀是兩個(gè)不同的概念。而且下文分兩段分別介紹了這兩個(gè)方面，由此判斷A選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容"Thus,we can employ the word 'read?ing' in two distinct senses."可以起到承上啟下的作用，選A.

2. C根據(jù)空前內(nèi)容newspapers,magazines和空后such materi?als判斷空上內(nèi)容和閱讀材料有關(guān)，由此判斷C選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容" We can get access to the content of those materials easily."符合語境，其中those materials是和前后呼應(yīng)的詞匯，選C.

3. B根據(jù)前句內(nèi)容"The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding."可以判斷B選項(xiàng)"Such communication between unequals must be possible."可以承接上文'其中such communication可以和communicating 呼應(yīng)，選8.

4. D前句內(nèi)容提到了作者和讀者的理解方面要存在不平衡，也就是作者的理解水平要高于讀者的水平，由此判斷D選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容符合語境，可以起到承上啟下的作用，選D.

5. F根據(jù)下文中"Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to."可以判斷作者指的是除了獲得信息和提高閱讀能力外，閱讀還有娛樂的作用。由此可以判斷答案選F。

 Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H20 as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin,makes you feel pretty good about yourself,right? It shouldn’t. Even when the bottles are recycled,there are all kinds of other consequences of swallowing bottled waterways Melissa Peffers,the air-quality programme manager for Environmental Defense.

  The containers are often filled in faraway lands,then shipped from abroad,and stored in refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap,filling a glass,and drinking up!

  Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided,says Peffers.   “Most bottled water is just tap water. ”And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive,especially when compared with the alternative,which is almost free,and it is astonishing that America’s desire for bottled water seems impossible to satisfy,reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year.

  “My parents’ generation never had bottled water”’says Isabelle Silverman,an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free.   “You don’t need to fetch it home from the store,and it’s cheaper,” she adds.

Bottled water’s role as a status symbol needs to change,Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers“And what’s your drink?”that,no reason to forget your conviction (信念) .“Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I’ll have tap. ’ Say it loud enough that the other tables nearby can hear you”’Peffers says. “And then spend that money on a dessert. ”

(   ) 1. In the first paragraph,the underlined sentence “It shouldn’t, ”suggests that people     .

   A. shouldn’t feel pleased with finishing the water in the bottle

   B. shouldn’t feel good about drinking an expensive brand H20

   C. shouldn’t be content with just recycling empty bottles

   D. shouldn’t be satisfied with drinking only bottled water

(   ) 2. According to the author,tap water is     .

   A. as safe as bottled water

   B. more likely to be polluted

   C. healthier than bottled water

   D. less convenient than bottled water

(   ) 3. The underlined part “going bottle free”(in Para. 4)means “        

   A. making bottled water free

   B. abandoning bottled water

   C. recycling used water bottles

   D. providing free water containers

(   ) 4. Why does Peffers ask people to say “I’ll have tap. ”

loudly?

   A. To encourage them to set an example for others to follow.

   B. To advise them to save the money for one more dessert.

   C. To remind them to be aware of their social status.

   D. To persuade them to speak confidently in public.

  Climbing Kilimanjaro is a transformational experience for many people. The things that make the mountain hard are the very things that make it so powerful. In the case of my son Josh and I,the walk up Kilimanjaro proved a powerful symbol of his transition into manhood,and a great change in our relationship.

  Day three on the mountain,Josh was hit with massive headaches. He told me every step felt like a nail driving into his head. And then,on the night we climbed the crater rim,less than 40 minutes from the summit,Josh fell. I was walking ahead,and did not even see it. He was so exhausted that he could not get up. He recalled our guides,debating whether or not they should take him straight down. Josh snapped out of it. He forced himself to his feet,and shook the guides off. He set his face towards the peak and just kept marching. Near the summit he caught up with me and we reached the peak together.

  “I’ve never been in so much pain and so happy at the same time”’he said,as we sat side by side on the frozen rock and looked down over Africa. “You know,in the past when we’d go on camping and rafting trips,you guided and took care of me through it all. But on Kilimanjaro it was different. From the bottom up,I climbed it. I never felt like a kid,even when I was in pain. You never acted like a parent. ”

  “That’s not quite true ,”I replied. “When you told me that on the summit you fell and I did not even notice,my first thought was ,‘Oh my God!I’m such an awful parent!y But then it hit me, ‘ He got himself up. He walked to the peak on his own. He didn’t need me to help.
