HOW WE READ

Why did you decide to read this, and will you keep reading to the end? Do you expect to

understand every single part of it and will you remember anything about it in a fortnights’

(41) ? Common sense (42) that the answers to these questions depend

on “readability” – whether the (43) matter is interesting, the arguments clear and the

layout attractive But psychologists are discovering that to (44) why people read

– and often don’t read – technical information, they have to examine not so much the writing

as the reader

Even the most technically confident people often ignore instructions for the video or home computer in favour of hands-on experience And people frequently (45) little notice of consumer information, whether on nutritional labels or in the small print of contracts Psychologists researching reading (46) to assume that both beginners and (47) readers read everything put in front of them from start to finish There are (48) among them about the role of eyes, memory and brain during the process Some believe that fluent readers take (49) every letter or word they see; others (50) that readers rely on memory or context to carry them from one phrase to another But they have always assumed that the reading process is the same: reading starts,

comprehension occurs then reading stops

42 A suggests B transmits C advises D informs

47 A competent B sufficient C considerable D valid

48 A objections B arguments C contests D separations

IV Read The following passage and choose the best answer:

The influenza virus is a single molecule composed of millions of individual atoms Although bacteria can be considered a type of plant, secreting poisonous substances into the body of the

organism they attack, viruses, like the influenza virus, are living organisms themselves We

may consider them regular chemical molecules since they have strictly defined atomic structure; but on the other hand, we must consider them as being alive since they are able to

multiply in unlimited quantities

An attack brought on by the presence of the influenza virus in the body produces a temporary immunity, but, unfortunately, the protection is against only the type of virus that caused the influenza Because the disease can be produced by any one of three types, referred

to as A, B, or C, and many strains within each type, immunity to one virus will not prevent infection by another type or strain

Approximately every ten years, worldwide epidemics of influenza called pandemics occur

Thought to be caused by new strains of type-A virus, these pandemic viruses have spread

rapidly, inflecting millions of people Epidemics or regional outbreaks have appeared on the average every two or three years or type-A virus, and every four or five years for type-B virus 51.With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?

55.Why does the writer say that viruses are alive?

A they have a complex atomic struture C they multiply

56.The atomic structure of viruses

A is variable C cannot e analyzed chemically

B is strictly defined D is more complex than that of bacteria

57.The word “unlimited” could be best replaced by which of the following?

A very small B very large C very similar D very different

58.How does the body react to the influenza virus?

A It prevents further infection to other types and strains of the virus

B It produces immunity to the type and strain of virus that invaded it

C It becomes immune to types A, B, and C viruses, but not to various strains within the types

memory as long as you keep repeating it.Once you stop repeating it, etheir it is forgotten or it moves into long-term memory
