Question

   There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. 22       The first sense is the one in which we read news?papers,magazines,or anything else. 23       Such materi?als 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 under?standing 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 some?thing that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding. 24       Oth?erwise one person could never learn from another. Here "learning" means understanding more,not remembering more information.

What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First,there is inequality in understanding. 25       Besides,his book must convey something he possesses and his poten?tial readers lack. Second,the reader must be able to over?come this inequality in some degree. And he should al?ways try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached,success of communi?cation is achieved.

  26       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 dis?tinct senses.

   B. Such communication between unequals must be possi?ble.

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

   D. The writer must be "superior" to the reader in under?standing.

   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.

Answer 1

[文章大意]本文講述的是閱讀包含的幾種不同的含義。

22. A根據(jù)第二段提到的the first sense和第三段段首提到的the second sense可知，此處應該是說"閱讀有兩種不同的含義"，故A項正確。

23. C后面提到such materials ,故此處應該提到materials ,故選C項。

24. B前句話說作者可以通過交流來提高讀者的理解力，后句話說否則的話，就沒有辦法相互學習了。所以此處是說這種交流是可行的，故選 B.  

25. D前句話inequality in understanding強調了讀者和作者的不對等，后面應具體說明讀者與作者之間具體怎樣不對等，故D項合適。

26. F從后面提到的"…can read for entertainment…"可知答案在F和G這兩個包含entertainment的選項中，而文章第二和第三、四段講的分別是reading for information和read?ing for understanding ,第五段reading for entertainment是新的一部分，故選F項。
