(

每小题：

)

Directions: Read the following passage or passages and then

answer the questions. There may be two types of questions

for Questions 1-7 in each passage. 1) choose Y (YES) if the

statement agrees with the information given in the passage,

choose N (NO) if the statement contradicts the information

given in the passage, choose NG (NOT GIVEN) if the

information is not given in the passage; or 2) choose the best

answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For

questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information

given in the passage.

Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage.

Skimming and Reading Flexibility

There are many kinds of reading speed, which depend on the

difficulty of the material being read as well as the student's own

reading ability and background knowledge.

In order to simplify the subject, let us say there are three types of

reading speed. The first reading speed we might call

speed

difficult material. In this type of reading the student attempts to

study the material carefully so that he will not miss a single point.

He also hopes to remember the material at a large time.

Unfortunately, many students use this slow study speed when

really they should be using a

back over it to pick up more of the details, or underlining, or

outlining, or thinking of questions on the material and answering

them, and so on.

The second reading speed we shall call average speed. Reading

of average speed is what a student does most of the time. Average

reading speed would cover easier textbooks, novels, newspapers,

and so on. It is difficult to say exactly what average reading speed

should be, but it should certainly be faster than 250 words per

minute, while many students can read quite comfortably at 500

words per minute after training comprehension.

Average reading speed varies considerably from person to person

and from time to time. A good reader's average reading speed

might vary from 250 words per minute to 500 words per minute,

while a poor reader's average reading speed might vary from 150

to 180 words per minute.

Skimming is reading at the fastest speed which a person can

accomplish. It is used when a reader wishes to cover material in a

hurry. At this speed, the student will accept a level of

comprehension somewhat lower than that which can be obtained

at study speed or at average reading speed.

It is difficult to say exactly how fast skimming should be, but

usually it should be twice as fast as the fastest average reading. If,

for example, a student begins a reading course at 200 words per

minute, it is reasonable to expect that at the end of this course, if

the course has been successful and the student has tried hard, he

will be reading at 400 words per minute, average speed. Hence we

expect this student's skimming to be 800 words per minute or

better.

In average reading the student does not skip any material; he

covers the entire amount of reading matter. This does not mean

that his eyes fix at or stop on every word, neither does it mean that

he can skip any whole sentences or halves of paragraphs. In

skimming, however, it is fair to leave out material. Often a reader

will leave out half or three-quarters of a paragraph if he feels he

has got the main idea.

Skimming also differs from average reading in that the student

intentionally accepts lowered comprehension. In average reading

the student attempts to get as good comprehension as he can; this

usually means 70% or 80%.

Now we come to the problem faced by the student who is about to

do a skimming exercise. Precisely what does the student do to get

going at this extremely fast rate? What material does he leave out?

Let us say that the student wishes to skim a factual article of

several thousand words. He should first read the opening

paragraph or two at his fastest average rate. That means he

leaves out nothing, but goes at his top reading speed of 300 or 400

words per minute. He reads the whole of the first several

paragraphs in order to get started, to get the idea of the story, the

setting, a little of the author's style, the tone or mood, and so on.

Frequently an author will give an introduction in the first few

paragraphs and this will help to give the reader an overall gestalt

(

完整结构

) of the story. But very shortly, if the student is to achieve

a skimming rate of 800 words per minute or better, he must begin

leaving out material. Hence, on the third or fourth paragraph he

reads only the key sentence, struggles to get the main idea of the

paragraph, and skips the second half. Perhaps he will read the key

sentence and let his eyes jump down through the paragraph,

picking up one or two important words, phrases, or numbers.

Sometimes the key sentence will not be found at the first sentence

of the paragraph. The student will then have to hunt around a little

in the paragraph in order to get either the key sentence or several

phrases or sentences which give the main idea of the paragraph.

In skimming, the student attempts to get the main idea of every

paragraph plus a few of the facts. He cannot hope to pick up all the

facts in the story, but he might pick up some of them, some of the

proper names, or some of the numbers.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage.

Australian and US scientists have found that children fathered by

older men are likely to be less intelligent than the offspring of

younger dads.

The surprise result contrasted sharply with earlier studies showing

that older mothers produced children more likely to record above

average intelligence scores, the researchers concluded.

Lead scientist John McGrath, from the Queensland Brain Institute,

said the result was a world first and had implications for men in

Western societies who have delayed fatherhood until their 40s or

older.

the father was less of a concern compared to the age of the

mother,

age of the father being just as important - the older a dad is, the

worse his children tend to do in intelligence tests.

Researchers examined data collected on 33,000 children in the US

between 1959 and 1965 fathered by men aged from 15 to 65. They

found that the children of older dads performed less well in

intelligence tests conducted at age eight months, four years and

seven years.

The researchers said previous studies had linked older fathers to

an increased risk of health problems in their children, including

schizophrenia, autism, dyslexia, epilepsy and dwarfism. However,

the study published in the journal

Public Library of Science

Medicine

is the first to suggest there is also a link with general

intelligence.

The trend towards children of older fathers being less intelligent

remained statistically significant even when factors such as socio-

economic status and parental mental health were taken into

account.

McGrath said the research team could not draw conclusions on

how having an older father influenced children later in life because

the subjects in their study were only examined until they were aged

seven.

into later educational and mental health outcomes across the
