Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
New Findings in Archaeology
●South America and Madagascar were joined 70 million years ago
●We've all just got 40,000 years older
Two skulls found in Africa have been identified as the oldest human remains known to science. The fossilised bones found in 1967 were originally thought to be 130,000 years old. But a redating of rock layers near those which yielded the fossils showed they are actually about 195,000 years old—from the time modern humans emerged. The skulls, known as Omo I and II, push back the known presence of Homo sapiens in Africa by 40,000 years. The previous oldest Homo sapiens skulls, dated to between 154,000 and 160,000 years old, were found near a village called Herto in the afar region of eastern Ethiopia. Omo I and II were unearthed by famous palaeontologist Richard Leakey along the Omo River in southern Ethiopia, near the town of Kibish. Omo I's more modern features led to disagreement among experts over whether they were the same age. The rocks in which they were found show they are, said Australian archaeologist Prof Ian McDougall, who made the discovery. He told scientific journal "Nature": "Omo I and Omo II are relatively securely dated to 195,000 years old, making them the oldest anatomically modern human fossils yet recovered."
Questions:
56. By which means could the scientists tell the age of fossils they have found?
A. The bones of the fossils.
B. The place where they were found.
C. The history of humans.
D. Identifying the rock layers of the fossils.
57. How many years older has our species become by the new discovery?
A. 130,000. B. 40,000.
C. 195,000. D. Between 154,000 and 160,000.
58. Where were the Omo I and II found?
A. Near Herto. B. Along the Omo River.
C. Near Kibish. D. In Australia.
59. What does the word" homo sapiens" mean in this passage?
A. Human being. B. A sample of fossils.
C. A river. D. A country.
60. Which of the following statements are NOT true according to the passage?
A. The discovery of an old crocodile skeleton in Brazil makes people believe that South America and Madagascar were joined 70 million years ago.
B. Prof Ian McDougall thought Omo I and II were the oldest human fossils discovered.
C. Prof Ian McDougall discovered that Omo I and II were not the same age.
D. Omo I and II were discovered in southern Ethiopia.

Questions 61 to 63 are based on the following passage.
King James
Before the last shot of Michael Jordan's final game with the Chicago Bulls, he left behind a moment that will hang in the minds of sports fans the way he did in the air. His quick crossover dribble, with the help of a tiny shove, sent Utah Jazz defender Byron Russell to the floor. Wide open, Jordan nailed the game—winning jump shot, and he and the Bulls clinched their sixth—and Jordan's last—NBA title.
At the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Ore., last Wednesday, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, 20, became the youngest player to reach one of the toughest performance milestones in basketball, the "triple double" (double digits in points, rebounds and assists in a single game--he did it again three nights later). During one play, his quick crossover dribble, sans shove, sent a Portland defender veering to the sideline. Wide open, James shot a three pointer. Swish. Nothing but Mike.
Ever since Jordan's first retirement a dozen years ago, the NBA has searched from Chitown to China for a star as dominant and marketable as His Airness.
The race to replace Jordan may end without a winner, but LeBron James, in just his second year ou

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid*Good grades and high testscores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid.But with low-incomestudents projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-boundpopulation in coming years, some schools are re-examing whether that aid,typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of preciousinstitutional dollars.George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last weekthat it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by aboutone-third and rece the number of recipients(接受者), pouringthe savings, about $2.5million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa.,made a similar decision three years ago.Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y.,says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aidrecipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will beawarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008.Not all colleges offermerit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to doso. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offergenerous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility (资格) have been willing to paywhatever they must for a big-name school.For small regionalcolleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an importantrevenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars overand above scholarship amount to keep the institution running.But for rankings-consciousschools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit topstudents and to improve their academic profiles. “They’re trying to buystudents,” says Skidmore Colllege economist Sandy Baum.Studies show merit aidalso tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enrollwithout it.“As we look to the future,we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,” says Monica Inzer,dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton,which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Report’s ranking ofthe best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17.Merit aid, which benefitedabout 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $1milion a year, “served us well,” Inzer says, but “to be discounting the pricefor families that don’t need financial aid doesn’t feel right any more.”Need-based aid remains byfar the largest share of all student aid, which includes state, federal and institutionalgrants. But merit aid, offered primarily by schools and states, is growingfaster, both overall and at the institutional level.Between 1995-96 and2003-04, institutional merit aid alone increased 212%, compared with 47% forneed-based grants. At least 15 states also offer merit aid, typically in a bidto enroll top students in the state’s public institutions.But in recent years, agrowing chorus (异口同声) of critics has begunpressuring schools to drop the practice. Recent decisions by Hamilton and others may be “a sign thatpeople are starting to realize that there’s this destructive competition goingon.” says Baum, co-author of a recent CollegeReport that raises concerns about the role of institutional aid not based onneed.David Laird, president ofthe Minnesota PrivateCollege Council, says many of hisschools would like to rece their merit aid but fear that in doing so, theywould lose top students to their competitors.“No one can take one-sidedaction,” says Laird, who is exploring whether to seek an exemption (豁免) from federal anti-trust laws so member colleges can discuss howthey could jointly rece merit aid. “This is a merry-go-round that’s goingvery fast, and none of the institutions believe they can sustain the risks oftrying to breakaway by themselves.”A complicating factor isthat merit aid has become so popular with middle-income families, who don’tqualify for need-based aid, that many have come to depend on it. And, astuitions continue to increase, the line between merit and need blurs.That is one reason Allegheny Collegedoesn’t plan to drop merit aid entirely.“We still believe inrewarding superior achievements and know that these top students truly valuethe scholarship,” says Scott Friedhoff, Allegheny’s vice president forenrollment.Emory University in Atlanta, which boasts a$4.7 billion endowment (捐赠), meanwhile, is taking anotherapproach. This year, it announced it would eliminate loans for needy studentsand cap them for middle-income families. At the same time, it would expand its28-year-old merit program.“Yeah, we’re playing themerit game,” acknowledges Tom Lancaster, associate dean for undergraateecation. But it has its strong points, too, he says, “The fact of the matteris, it’s not just about the lowest-income people. It’s the average Americanmiddle-class family who’s being priced out of the market.”*A few words about merit-based aid:Merit-based aid is aidoffered to students who achieve excellence in a given area, and is generallyknown as academic, athletic and artistic merit scholarships.Academic meritscholarships are based on students’ grades, GPA and overall academicperformance ring high school. They are typically meant for students goingstraight to college right after high school. However, there are scholarshipsfor current college students with exceptional grades as well. These meritscholarships usually help students pay tuition bills, and they can be renewedeach year as long as the recipients continue to qualify. In some cases,students may need to be recommended by their school or a tearcher as part ofthe qualification process.Athletic meritscholarships are meant for student that excel(突出) in sportsof any kind, from football to track and field events. Recommendation for thesescholarships is required, since exceptional athletic performance has to berecognized by a coach or a referee (裁判). Applicants need to send in atape containing their best performance.Artistic meritscholarships require that applicants excel in a given artistic area. Thisgenerally includes any creative field such as art, design, fashion, music,dance or writing. Applying for artistic merit scholarships usually requiresthat students submit a portfolio （选辑） of some sort, whether thatincludes a collection of artwork, a recording of a musical performance or avideo of them dancing.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。1.

『肆』 急需一篇题目为nonverbal communication的英语快速阅读的文章和题目以及答案。
【题目】
Nonverbal communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.
For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the NorthAmerican to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.
On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.
1. According to the passage, nonverbal communication__________.
A. is a method often used by people who cannot speak
B. can tell something that words cannot
C. can be used to talk with people who cannot bear
D. is less used than words
2. The South American__________.
A. tends to keep a distance between himself and the person he is speaking to
B. usually stands close to the person he is talking to
C. is often unfriendly when spoken to
D. is often cold and distant when speaking
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Less eye contact suggests distance in relation.
B. The longer one looks at you, the more interest he has in you.
C. There is more eye contact between people who like each other.
D. Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about
4. Too long a gaze__________.
A. may upset people being looked at
B. shows one's great confidence
C. indicates one's interest in the talk
D. tells you how friendly one is
5. Constant smiling without apparent reason__________.
A. is a sign of one's friendliness
B. is a sign of one's unfriendliness
C. makes people feel happy
D. makes people feel uncomfortable

are useful to man in three important ways: they provide him with wood and other procts; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil --- allowing the rain to sink in --- and also bind the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation.
1. What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?
A. They help him make money.
B. They give him wood and other procts.
C. They help him prevent droughts and floods.
D. They give him shade.
2. Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear?
A. New trees are not looked after properly.
B. Many trees have been cut down by man.
C. Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees.
D. All of the above.
3. Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?
A. Because an empire was set up.
B. Because the empire fell to pieces.
C. Because it lost all its trees.
D. Because too much had been spent on wars.
4. Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down?
A. Because nothing remains on land except floods.
B. Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.
C. Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil.
D. Because roots of the trees break up the soil.
5. What does the author tell us in this passage?
A. How trees help prevent droughts and floods.
B. The relationship between trees and man.
C. How an empire fell to pieces in ancient times.
D. A story of trees.
【答案】 1.C 2.D 3.C 4.B 5.A
『陆』 求英语高考快速阅读的PPT文档（可以是历年高考真题、模拟题）
您好，很高兴为您解答。下面搜集了英语快速阅读的方法供参考，望您能满意。
一、英语快速阅读的方法
面对繁杂的英语，要提高效率，就要有一定的方法。我认为唯有以泛读为基础，进行快速阅读的培养，才是一个行之有效的好方法。具体说来，要发现对自己有利用价值的信息，需要掌握如下方法：
1．推测（prediction）
阅读正文前，就标题（如果有标题的话）来合理推测资料的大概内容，也可在读了二、三段之后预测下段内容。这对快速理解和整体把握文章内容以及推测出生词的词义范围有积极的意义。因为英语单词一词多义现象太普遍了，一个单词在不同的专业领域往往含有不同的意思，甚至有的单词在同一专业领域在其意义的具体把握上也有细微的差别。
2．关键词句（keyword and topic sentences）
在对文章的整体内容有了基本认识的基础上，我们学会抓主要的词句，找出段落中的主题句，从而正确领会文章的主要内容，并注意到是否对自己有利用价值。
3．略读或浏览或跳读（Skimming）
Skim有掠过的意思，又有从牛奶等液体上撇去的意思，转意为“快速掠过，从中提取最容易取得的精华”。用于阅读，或译为略读，或译为泛读，似乎都未把其细微的意思译出。而这种读法却包含有原词的所有意思——快速读过去，取出读物中关键性的东西。因此，我们可以把这种读法理解为快速浏览课文，领会文章大意。一般而言，通过标题可知道文章的主题。对文章的首段和末段要多加注意，以便发现作者的观点。
4．查阅（Scanning）
Scaning的意思是扫读或查阅，是快读或速读的一种。Scan就是通常所说的“扫描”。其特点是快，但又要全部扫及。Scan这个词的词义似乎矛盾，它既可以理解为“仔细地审视”，也可以理解为“粗略地浏览”。这种情况倒成了扫读的绝好证明。从形式上看，扫读是粗粗地一扫而过，一目十行，但从读者的注意方面来看，却又是高度的集中，在快速阅读中仔细挑出重要的信息。因此，查阅可以理解为迅速找出文章中的有关事实细节或某一具体信息；有时要找出某一个单词或词组，如人名、地名、日期、价格等；有时要找出文中所述的某一特殊事件，而这一事件可能是由一个词或短语交代的。若不具备一定的能力，这样的细节恐不易发现。
5．速度变换（Reading rate）
我们要意识到阅读的速度是不均匀的。也就是说，即使同一个人阅读同一份材料，但由于阅读是一种有相当心理负荷的脑力劳动，因此在开始、中途和结束时的速度不可能一样。读物的体裁和难度不一样，阅读的速度也不同。我们不要过分焦虑自己的阅读速度，以免造成不必要的心理压力。随着速度的提高，理解的程度都有所降低，所以我们应认识到阅读文章时的速度是可以调节的，只有合适的速度才可能获得快速准确的阅读效率。
6．阅读习惯（Reading Habit）
从主观上要能克服注意力容易分散即所谓“思想开小差”的毛病，高度集中自己的注意力；从客观上克服各种无意中形成或由来以久的坏习惯，如摇头晃脑，抖动双腿，玩弄纸笔，念念有词等。这些“小动作”，也会分散注意力、影响思考，降低阅读速度。
二、怎样培养快速阅读的技巧
1.视幅要宽
意思是每一眼看的词要尽量的多。我们阅读表面是用眼睛看，实际是用脑子读，眼睛只是起了照相机镜头的作用。努力使自己的眼睛变成“广角镜”，把尽可能多的词能一眼“尽收眼底”。
2．视时要短
意思是第一眼和第二眼之间停顿的间隙要尽量短。我们阅读时，若视幅相同，谁的停顿时间短，谁就能读得快。
3．意群要长
即在每个视幅中不是让你把很多的单词都收进脑子，而是要善于从中摄取有意义的词组，这个有意义的词组就是意群。极慢的读者是一个字一个字地读，视幅就很窄，句子中间的停顿就多，而频繁的停顿必然妨碍正常的理解。快速阅读者是半句或一句句地读。视幅大大加宽，停顿的间隙少而短，获取的都是有意义的词组，因而理解全句或全段就能做到水到渠成。
4．利用上下文猜生词
充分利用上下文给出的线索，有些生词的意思是可以猜出来的。下面介绍一些基本方法：
（1）利用定义的线索
在生词出现的上文或下文，有时能找到对它所下的定义或解释，由此可判断其定义。
（2）利用同义的线索
一个生词出现的上下文中有时会出现与之同义或近义的词，它往往揭示或解释了生词的词义。
（3）利用反义的线索
在某一生词的前面或后面有时会出现它的反义词或常用来对比的词语，由它可以推测生词词义。
（4）利用常识猜测词义
有时一句话中尽管有生词，但我们可以利用已有的知识去判断生词的意思。
（5）利用等式或符号猜测生词
一段话后面有时会给出一些等式或符号，如前面的话中有生词，由后面的等式或符号可疑猜出生词的词义。
总之，利用多种方法猜测生词词义，有助于提高阅读速度和学习兴趣，是英语学习者应当掌握的好方法。
三、结束语
英语快速阅读的培养不可能一天就学会和掌握，必须有一个循序渐进的过程。本文的出发点在于平时学习过程中的培养和训练，才能在考试过程中发挥得淋漓尽致，达到满意的效果。因此，在日常学习中，要有意识地按照精英特快速阅读记忆训练的要求进行大量的练习，制定出计划和严格的要求，一步一个脚印地进行。只要持之以恒，必然会见效。

『捌』 英语快速阅读~
快速阅抄读通常是先读题目的，因为袭顾名思义“快速”，也就要求令你要快速的浏览整篇文章，先看题目，找到关键词，然后再回到文章中，对文章进行“扫描”，这里说的扫描，并不是漫无目的地看，二是要“扫”出你想要看到的信息，就是题目中的。
很多时候，文章段落的中心句子都在段落的开头，或者结尾，你可以试试先看开头，如果没有，再往下读下面的句子。
当然，这种能力不是说一下子就可以提高的，特别是在你高速“扫描”文章的时候，这就需要你在平时多练习如果阅读英文的句子或者文章了，找些英文的报刊读一下，或者找你平时的阅读练习读一下，会对你提高有帮助的。
