When
13、 we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time for which the eyes stopthe duration of th
14、e fixationvaries considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have
15、 concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a s
16、creen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at eac
17、h successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but its one thing to improve a persons ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reason
18、s, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.31 The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts ex
19、cept_.（A）ones familiarity with the text（B） ones purpose in reading（C） the length of a group of words（D）lighting and tiredness32 The author may believe that reading_.（A）requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation（B） requires a reader to see words more quickly（C） demands an deeply-partici
20、pating mind（D）demands more mind than eyes33 What does the author mean by saying “but its one thing to improve a persons ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. “ in the second paragraph?（A）The ability to see words is not needed when an efficien
21、t reading is conducted.（B） The reading exercises mentioned cant help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.（C） The reading exercises mentioned cant help to improve an efficient reading.（D）The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve ones ability to see words.3
22、4 Which of the following is NOT true?（A）The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.（B） Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.（C） The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.（D）The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.34 E
23、uropes Gypsies, Are They a Nation?The striving of countries in Central Europe to enter the European Union may offer an unprecedented chance to the continents Gypsies ( or Roman) to be recognized as a nation, albeit one without a defined territory. And if they were to achieve that they might even see
24、k some kind of formal placeat least a total population outnumbers that of many of the Unions present and future countries. Some experts put the figure at 4m-plus; some proponents of Gypsy rights go as high as 15m.Unlike Jews, Gypsies have had no known ancestral land to hark back to. Though their lan
25、guage is related to Hindi, their territorial origins are misty. Romanian peasants held them to be born on the moon. Other Europeans (wrongly) thought them migrant Egyptians, hence the derivative Gypsy. Most probably they were itinerant metal workers and entertainers who drifted west from India in th
26、e 7th century.However, since communism in Central Europe collapsed a decade ago, the notion of Ro-manestan as a landless nation founded on Gypsy culture has gained ground. The International Romany Union, which says it stands for 10m Gypsies in more than 30 countries, is fostering the idea of “ self-
27、rallying“. It is trying to promote a standard and written form of the language; it waves a Gypsy flag ( green with a wheel) when it lobbies in such places as the United Ba-tions; and in July it held a congress in Prague, the Czech Capital, where President Vaclav Havel said that Gypsies in his own co
28、untry and elsewhere should have a better deal.At the congress a Slovak-born lawyer, Emil Scuka, was elected president of the International Romany Union. Later this month a group of elected Gypsy politicians, including members of parliament, mayors and local councilors from all over Europe ( OSCE) ,
29、gathered to discuss how to persuade more Gypsies to get involved in politics.The International Romany Union is probably the most representative of the outfits that speak for Gypsies, but that is not saying a lot. Of the several hundred delegates who gathered at its congress, few were democratically
30、elected; oddly, none came from Hungary, whose Gypsies are perhaps the worlds best organized, with some 450 Gypsy bodies advising local councils there. The union did, however, announce its ambition to set up a parliament, but how it would actually be elected was left undecided.So far, the European Co
31、mmission is wary of encouraging Gypsies to present themselves as a nation. They might, it is feared, open a Pandoras box already containing Basques, Corsicans and other awkward peoples. Besides, acknowledging Gypsies as a nation might backfire, just when several countries, particularly Hungary, Slov
32、akia and the Czech Republic, are beginning to treat them better, in order to qualify for EU membership. “The EUs whole premise is to overcome differences, not to highlight them,“ says a nervous Eurocrat.But the idea that the Gypsies should win some kind of special recognition as Europes largest cont
33、inent wide minority, and one with a terrible history of persecution, is catching on. Gypsies have suffered many pogroms over the centuries. In Romania, the country that still has the largest number of them (more than lm) , in the 19th century they were actually enslaved. Hitler tried to wipe them ou
34、t, along with the Jews.“ Gypsies deserve some space within European structures,“ says Jan Marinus Wiersma, a Dutchman in the European Parliament who suggests that one of the current commissioners should be responsible for Gypsy affairs. Some prominent Gypsies say they should be more directly represe
35、nted, perhaps with a quota in the European Parliament. That, they argue, might give them a boost. There are moves afoot to help them to get money for, among other things, a Gypsy university.One big snag is that Europes Gypsies are, in fact, extremely heterogeneous. They belong to many different, and
36、 often antagonistic, clans and tribes, with no common language or religion. Their self-proclaimed leaders have often proved quarrelsome and corrupt. Still, says Dimitrina Petrova, head of the European Roma Rights Center in Budapest, Gypsies shared experience of suffering entitles them to talk of one
37、 nation; their potential unity, she says, stems from “being regarded as sub-human by most majorities in Europe“.And they have begun to be a bit more pragmatic. In Slovakia and Bulgaria, for instance, Gypsy political parties are trying to form electoral blocks that could win seats in parliament. In M
38、acedonia, a Gypsy party already has someand even runs a municipality. Nicholas George, an expert on Gypsy affairs at the OSCE, reckons that, spread over Central Europe, there are now about 20 Gypsy MPs and mayors, 400-odd local councilors, and a growing number of businessmen and intellectuals.That i
39、s far from saying that they have the people or the cash to forge a nation. But, with the Gypsy question on the EUs agenda in Central Europe, they are making ground.35 The Best Tide of this passage is_.（A）Gypsies Want to Form a Nation（B） Are They a Nation（C） EU Is Afraid of Their Growth（D）They Are a
40、Tribe36 Where are the most probable Gypsy territory origins?（A）Most probably they drifted west from India in the 7th century.（B） They are scattered everywhere in the world.（C） Probably, they stemmed from Central Europe.（D）They probably came from the International Romany Union.37 What does the Intern
41、ational Romany lobby for?（A）It lobbies for a demand to be accepted by such international organizations as EU and UN.（B） It lobbies for a post in any international Romany Union.（C） It lobbies for the right as a nation.（D）It lobbies for a place in such international organizations as the EU or UN.38 Wh
42、y is the Europe Commission wary of encouraging Gypsies to present themselves as a nation?（A）It may open a Pandoras Box.（B） Encouragement may lead to some unexpected results.（C） It fears that the Basgnes, Corsicans and other nations seeking separation may raise the same demand.（D）Gyspsies demand may
43、highlight the difference in the EU.38 Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths, while reality is fabulous. If men would steadily observe realities only, and not allow themselves to be deluded, life, to compare it with such things as we know, would be like a fairy tale and The Arabian Nig
44、hts Entertainments. If we respected only what is inevitable and has a right to be, music and poetry would resound along the streets. When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence-that petty fears and petty pleasure are but the
45、 shadow of reality. This is always exhilarating and sublime. By closing the eyes and slumbering, by consenting to be deceived by shows, men establish and confirm their daily life of routine and habit everywhere, which still is built on purely illusory foundation. Children, who play life, discern its
46、 true law and relations more clearly than men, who fail to live worthily , but who think that they are wiser by experience, that is, by failure. I have read in a Hindoo book, that “there was a kings son, who, being expelled in infancy from his native city, was brought up by a forester, and, growing
47、up to maturity in that state, imagined himself to belong to the barbarous race with which he lived. One of his fathers ministers having discovered him, revealed to him what he was, and the misconception of his character was removed, and he knew himself to be a prince. So soul, from the circumstances
48、 in which it is placed, mistakes its own character, until the truth is revealed to it by some holy teacher, and then it knows itself to be Brahme. “ We think that is which appears to be. If a man should give us an account of the realities he beheld, we should not recognize the place in his descripti
49、on. Look at a meeting-house, or a court-house, or a jail, or a shop. Or a dwelling-house, and say what that thing really is before a true gaze, and they would all go to pieces in your account of them. Men esteem truth remote, in the outskirts of the system, behind the farthest star, before Adam and after the last man. In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But al
