Question

【題目】There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. 【1】

The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 【2】Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.

The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader’s understanding. 【3】Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “l(fā)earning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.

What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding【4】Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.

【5】It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.

A．Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.

B．Such communication between unequals must be possible.

C．We can get access to the content of those materials easily.

D．The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.

E. The writer should have a better communicating skill.

F. Besides gaining information and understanding, there’s another goal of reading—entertainment.

G. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】B

【4】D

【5】F

【解析】

【1】根據(jù)第二段提到the first sense和第三首開始提到the second sense都明確指向A項的in two distinct senses,而E選項的thus表示的因果邏輯關(guān)系也和前一句reading for inofrmation和understanding合理鏈接，故A項正確。

【2】后一句話“這樣的材料增加我們信息的存儲，但是不能提到我人瓣理解”，所以在此處與理解無關(guān)，與信息有關(guān)，并且后句話中的such materials的代詞指代作用，故選C項。

【3】前句話強調(diào)作者可以提高讀者的理解力。后句話強調(diào)讀者可以從作者賬目 學(xué)習(xí)。選項B的such communication 代詞的指代作用可以對應(yīng)前面的is communicating，B項可以和前后文對應(yīng)

【4】前句話inequality in undeing強調(diào)了讀者和作者的不對等，滿足這個信息的有B項和D項。后句話中his book指代前句話某個人，故D項合適。

【5】后兩句中提到can read for entertainment 非常明顯提示75題答案在F和G兩個包含entertainment 的信息中，而文章第四段講得分別是reading for information和reading for understanding,第五段reading for entertainment 是新的一分支結(jié)構(gòu)，故F 項besides這個邏輯關(guān)系非常附屬前后結(jié)構(gòu)，故選 F 項。
