规则：

每天我贴出五篇CET级别的阅读
大家来做，需要准备一个计时器

每篇文章只看一分钟，一分钟之后就一定要停下来，读到哪里算哪里，这篇就算过了
D# O
如果上一篇没有读完，那么就要提醒自己在下一篇中加速，同时调整自己阅读的节奏感，找到最舒服的方式
[注]
1、直接在电脑屏幕面前做，虽然GRE阅读是在纸上考，但是这个过程会遏制你做笔记，同时给你的阅读造成视觉障碍，也就是把难度训练和抗干扰训练同步结合，增加效率（初期会很累，但是既然大家想要成为高手，那么就别对自己太温柔）
2、这些文章不用拿来讨论，我给出习题但是不用大家去做，学有余力的可以去做，不过做的时候不要回视文章了，通过瞬间阅读和不回视做题锻炼你大脑的存储量

A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.
            　　
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their educations, move out of the family home at an early age. marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and cboose occupations different from those of their parents.
            　　
In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than tkey did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often, they discover very little in common with each other.
            　　
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.
            　　
No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society, and in the rapid pace at which society changes.

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After a11,it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade !
            　　
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one spect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
            　　
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
            　　
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.
            　　
            16. In the passage the author's attitude towards "mixed-ability teaching", is ______.
            (A) critical
            (B) questioning
            (C) approving
            (D) objective
            　
            17. By "held back",(Line 1) the author means ______.
            (A) made to remain in the same classes
            (B) forced to study in the lower classes
            (C) drawn to their studies
            (D) prevented from advancing
            　
            18. The author argues that a teacher's chief concern should be the development of the student's ______.

Scientist have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause the disease in animals.In addition,man can catch the disease from animals. In fact,a great number ofwild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidence of illness.Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza viruses may have evolved in the bird kingdom,a group that has been on the earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease.These is even convincing evidence to show that virus strains are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds.
            　　
It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time.The result of such recombinations is a great variety of strains contraining different H and N spikes.This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus form a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike.
            　　
Research is underway to  is the way that major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a new strain which is transmitted to man.
            　　
            1. According to the passage,scientists have discovered that influenza viruses_____.
            (A) cause ill health in wild birds
            (B) do not always cause symptoms in birds
            (C) are rarely present in wild birds
            (D) change when transferred from animals to man
            　
            2. What is known about the influenza virus?
            (A) It was first found in a group of very old birds.
            (B) All the different strains can be found in wild birds.
            (C) It existed over 100 million years ago.
            (D) It can survive in many different places.
            　
            3. According to the passage, a great variety of influenza strains can appear when_____.
            (A) H and N spikes are produced
            (B) animal and bird viruses are combined
            (C) dissimilar types virus recombine
            (D) two viruses of the same type are contracted
            　
            4. New strains of viruses are transmitted to man by_____.
            (A) a type of pig
            (B) diseased lower animals
            (C) a group of migrating birds
            (D) a variety of means
            　
           5. It can be inferred from the passage that all of the following
              are ways of producing new strains of influenza viruses EXCEPT _____.
            (A) two influenza viruses in the same animal re combining
            (B) animal viruses recombining with human viruses
            (C) two animal viruses recombining in one animal


Water on the earth is being recycled continously in a process known as the hydrologic cycle.The first step of the cycle is the evaporation of water in the oceans.Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor,which then forms clouds in the sky.The The second step is the water returning to the earth in the form of precipitation:either rain, snow,or ice.When the water reachs the earth's surface,it run off into the rivers,lakes,and the ocean,where the cycle begins again.
            　　
Not all water,however,stays on the surface of the earth in the hydrologic cycle.Some of it seeps into the ground through infiltration and collects under the earth's surface as groundwater.This groundwater is extremely important to life on earth,since 95 percent of the earth's water is in the oceans and is too salty for human beings or plants.Of the 5 percent on land,only 0.5 percent is above ground in rivers or lakes .The rest is underground water. This groundwater is plentiful and dependable,because it dosen't depend on seasonal rain or snow.It is the major source of water for many cities.But as the population increases and the need for water also increases,the groundwater in some areas is getting dangerously low.Added to this problem is an increasing amount of pollution that seeps into the groundwater.In the future,with a growing population and more toxic water,the hydrologic cycle we depend on could become dangerously imbalanced.
            　　
            6. Clouds are formed from _____.
            (A) water vapor
            (B) evaporation
            (C) the hydrologic cycle
            (D) groundwater
            　
            7. Water returns to the earth by _____.
            (A) infiltration
            (B) pollution
            (C) precipitation
            (D) evaporation
            　
            8. Groundwater _____.
            (A) depends on seasonal rain
            (B) comes from toxic waste
            (C) is 0.5 percent of all water
            (D) collects under the earth
            　
            9. The amount of groundwater is _____.
            (A) about 95 percent of all water
            (B) less than 5 percent of all water
            (C) 0.5 percent of above-ground water
            (D) 95 percent of above-ground water
            　
            10. The supply of groundwater is going low because of _____.
            (A) conservation
            (B) toxic waste
            (C) pollution
            (D) population increase
            (D) two animal viruses recombining in a human

The development of Jamestown in Virginia during the second half of the senventeenth century was closely related to the making and the use of bricks. There are several practical reasons why bricks become important to the colony.
            　　
Although the forests could initially supply sufficient timber, the process of lumbering was extremely difficult, particularly because of the lack of roads.
            　　
Later, when the timber on the peninsula had been depleted, wood had to be brought from some distance, Building stone was also in short supply. However, as clay was plentiful, it was inevitable that the colonists should turn to brick-making.
            　　
In addition to practical reason for using brick as the principal construction meterial, there was also an ideological reason. Brick represented durability and permanence. The Virginia Company of London instructed the colonists to build hospitals and new residences out of brick. In 1662, the Town Act of the Virginia Assembly provided for the construction of thirty-two brick buildings and prohibited the use of wood as a construction material. Had this law ever been successfully enforced, Jamestown would have been a model city. Instead, the residents failed to comply fully with the law; and by 1699 Jamestown had collapsed into a pile of rubble with only three or four habitable houses.
            　　
            11. In the first half of 1600's most building  probably made of _____ .
            (A) earth
            (B) stone
            (C) wood
            (D) brick
            　
            12. Which of the following was NOT a reason for using brick in construction?
            (A) Wood had to be brought from some distance.
            (B) There was considerable clay available.
            (C) The lumbering process depended on good roads.
            (D) The timber was not of good quality.

            13. It can be inferred from the passage that settlers who built with bricks in the 1600's were _____ .
            (A) planning to return to England
            (B) not concerned about durability.
            (C) obeying the laws
            (D) interested in large residences

            14. It can be inferred from the passage that prior to the action of
            the Virginia Company of London, Jamestown had an insufficient number
            of _____ .
            (A) colonists
            (B) material facilities
            (C) clay sources
            (D) bricklayers

            15. According to the passage, what eventually happened to Jamestown?
            (A) It was practically destroyed.
            (B) It remained the seat of government.
            (C) It became a model city.
            (D) It was almost completed.
