Then the students should decide exactly what theyre going to read: its seldom necessary to read the whole book. A good starting point is the Contents page at the front of the book; a quick look at the chapter he

5、adings may help to indicate what should be read. The index at the back of the book is often extremely useful in helping to pinpoint the exact pages that need to be consulted for particular pieces of information.When it has been decide whats to be read-a chapter of a book, for example-then its helpfu

6、l to get an overview of the contents before starting to read. This can be done by reading the introduction. Usually the opening paragraph, and the conclusion, usually the final paragraph. In addition, a glance at the headings of sections or sub-sections will show the order in which the items are int

7、roduced. As well as doing this, some students find it useful to skim, or read very quickly, some sections in order to get the gist, or general idea of the contents.Finally, students should ask themselves a specific question connected with the main part of their reading. They should then endeavor to

8、answer it by making appropriate notes as they read. This will help them to focus on the reading as well as providing a summary, which can be re-read later. This is, perhaps, the most effective element in the reading strategy.The importance of this last point can be seen from the following quotation

9、take from Teaching and Learning in Higher Education by Ruth Beard: One reason for poor comprehension from reading may be that students fail to make notes or to ask themselves questions about the text. Evidence obtained by Camichaeil and Dearborn showed that whereas a reader normally seemed fatigued

10、after one and a half hours, if the reading material was broken down every twenty-four pages by short tests, reminding him what he had read, he could go on without fatigue or loss of efficiency for periods of up to six hours.If a student puts into practice everything thats been suggested so far, can

11、we say that he read efficiently? Well, we must remember that most students have a lot to read and only a limited time in which to read it. As a result, its important that a student reads as quickly as possible. If he can increase his reading speed without loss of comprehension, then hell become a mo

12、re efficient reader.Basically, there are three main kinds of silent reading speed, all for different purposes. The slowest speed is study speed, for a high level of understanding and when its necessary to remember details; next is average speed, for easier textbooks, novels, etc.; the fastest is ski

13、mming, when it is not necessary to have a high level of comprehension. Skimming is used to get a general idea of what an article or a book is about.Various surveys have been conducted into students reading speeds, which are measured by the number of words read in a minute. One, by Edward Fry, showed

14、 that a good reader achieves 50% comprehension while skimming at more than 800 words a minute; this is, of course, very fast. He has an average speed of about 250-500 words a minute for 70% comprehension. This falls to about 200-300 words a minute for study speed with a high-level comprehension rate

15、 of 80%90%. On the other hand, a poor reader is unable to skim at all. The average speed of a poor reader is 150 to 180 words a minute with a comprehension rate of 70%, if 80%-90% comprehension is required, then the study speed is about 90 to 125 words a minute.A reasonable average reading speed for

31、citizens and their democratically elected government lies only in a One China framework. However admirable the fight of self-determination, the fact is that the U.S. will not defend or support Taiwan militarily if it proclaims independence, nor would other nations likely recognize a sovereign Taiwan

32、 state.Taipeis only realistic long-term hope is to establish maximum autonomy within a Chinese commonwealth or confederation. Under such conditions, Taiwan may be able to negotiate representation in a wide range of international organizations under the Olympic Gaines precedent, whereby “Chinese Taip

33、ei“ participates. Beijing must be willing to permit Taiwan such latitude in the international arena, but the precondition would be Taiwans acceptance of the One China principle.（分数：10.00）_正确答案：(不可否认的事实是，为台湾两千两百万人民及其民主选举政府谋求国际承认、和平和稳定的道路只有在一个中国的框架中才能行得通。不管自决的愿望如何地令人钦佩，事实岸是一旦台湾宣布独立，美国是不会在军事上保卫或支持它的，别的

34、国家也不可能承认台湾为主权国。台北唯一现实的长远希望是在一个中国联邦或邦联内建立最大限度的自治。在此条件下，台湾也许才能通过谈判争取在更广泛的国际组织中的代表权，按奥运会的模式以“中国台北”的身份参加。北京方面一定愿意允许台湾以这种身份出现在国际舞台上，但前提是台湾接受一个中国的原则。)解析：二十一、PART WRITING(总题数：1，分数：20.00)43.The standard three-year masters degree program in China was greatly challenged recently. Experts hold that two years i

35、s enough for the program. Tsinghua, Peking, Renmin and some other universities have started trying out the two-year program in economics and management-related majors. Harbin University of Science and Technology was one of the first universities to try the new masters system in 1994. Should the old

36、system be changed?

38、正确答案：(参考范文Should the Traditional System Be Changed?The standard three-year masters degree program in China now faces great challenge. Nowadays, many people doubt the function and effectiveness of this system. Should we change the traditional program? In my opinion, the reform is necessary.First, th

39、e current system is a waste of time. In fact, in those developed countries such as UK and US, they take a system of one-year school study plus half-year social practice. Our problem is that we do not make full use of the three years. The usual practice is that we take graduates courses in the first

40、one and half years, and the rest time is all devoted to preparing the dissertation. In fact, two-year student dissertations are not much different from those of three-year students. So we can see that our system is not so effective and we use three years to do what others can complete in only one ye

41、ar. And the most important thing is that not all the students are supposed to devote their lives into the professional careers which their majors determine. The students should have the rights to choose their future and the time they want to take. If the major is just the fundament of their social p

42、ractice, they should have the right to choose to take less time.Another reason is that the traditional system goes against social need for persons with special abilities. In our educational system, graduate students are usually considered as the “social elite“, and people put high expectations on th

43、em. But nowadays, many masters programs are actually trying to cultivate management professionals. The changing goals have meant a change in study length. We should adjust our educational system in line with our social needs. The social development requires us to make our system more diversified.From above, we can see the current program should be reformed but we should not take the simple cut. It is wrong to talk of changing all those programs to two years and some experts are cautioning that the reforms should not be done hastily. It is a systematic work to make reforms on this system.)解析：
