1. (2020八下·南浔月考) 阅读理解

    Learning to read is one of the most important periods in anyone's development as it opens up so many opportunities. So many things in everyday life depend on your being able to read clearly. Here are a few examples.

    If you want to find out the latest news about your favorite film star or the result of the latest match, you will pick up a newspaper and read what it has to say about these topics.

    If you are on a long train or plane journey, you will probably have a book, a magazine or an e-book to help you pass the time. Even if you are someone who "doesn't read books", it is possible that you will have to read the rules of the computer game that you are playing.

    Very often, you read something without realizing that you are reading. For example, you might check the time table at an airport or make sure that you drive carefully as you see the road sign "HILL". If you are unable to read, these necessary actions become either very difficult or impossible to achieve.

    So, you understand how important a part reading plays in your life. Everybody who is using this textbook, To Be A Better Reader, has got the art of reading more or less. Why, then, you may ask yourself, is it necessary to have to read a book that tells you how to become a better reader — if you can read already, what is there to improve? Well, please think very carefully about what you mean by "reading". Does it just mean that you know the meaning of words on a page and then speak them aloud or to yourself? Or is it something more than that?

    In fact, reading without understanding is worthless. The main purpose of reading is to help you understand the world better and achieve a more colorful life. So no matter where you are, try to read with understanding and be a better reader.
