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


Taste is such a subjective matter that we don’t usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone’s preference, is that it’s one person’s opinion. But because the two big cola companies-Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we’ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.
We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they’d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.
We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants’ choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.
Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 to 27 identified all four samples correctly.
While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test result suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.

86. According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to _______
A) find out the role taste preference plays in a person’s drinking
B) reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers
C) show that a person’s opinion about taste is mere guess-work
D) compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks

A) Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people’s two most favorite drinks
B) There is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi
C) Few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi
D) People’s tastes differ from one another
88. It is implied in the first paragraph that________
A) the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colas
B) the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies
C) the competition between the two colas is very strong
D) blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans
89. The word “burnout” (Line 4, Para. 5) here refers to the state of _________
A) being seriously burnt in the skin B) being unable to burn for lack of fuel
C) being badly damaged by fire D) being unable to function because of excessive use
90. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to _________

C) emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other
D) recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas


Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sum and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their kspacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.
Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will no be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren.
Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have beenfound so far.

81. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that_______
A) it protects him against the haumful rays from space
B) it provides sufficient light for plant growth
C) it supplies the heat necessary for human survival
D) it screens off the falling meteors
82. We know from the passage that_____
A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal
B) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming
C) radiation is avoidable in space exploration
D) astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage
83. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members_____
A) is insignifiacant B) seems overestimated
C) is enormous D) remains unknown
84. It can be inferred from the passage that_______
A) the Apollo mission was very successful
B) protection from space radiation is no easy job
C) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren
D) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers
85. The best title for this passage would be _________
A) The Atmosphere and Our Environment B) Research on Radiation
C) Effects of Space Radiation D) Importance of Protection Against Radiation


Where do pesticides fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water, and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world?
We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides are very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.
Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative over long periods of time, and that the danger to the individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. “Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs,” says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, “yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed.”

76. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence “Man, …is part of nature.” (Line 3-4, Para.1)?
A) Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature
B) Man acts as if he does not belong to nature
C) Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution
D) Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental protection
77. What is the author’s attitude to wards the environmental effects of pesticides?
A) Pessimistic B) Indifferent C) Defensive D) Concerned
78. In the author’s view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts of pesticides___
A) is not the worst of thenegative consequences resulting from the use of pesticides
B) now occurs most frequently among all accidental deaths
C) has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attention
D) is unavoidable because people can’t do without pesticides in farming
79. People tend to ignore the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals because______
A) limited exposure to them does little harm to people’s health
B) the present is more important for them than the future
C) the danger does not become apparent immediately
D) humans are capable of withstanding small amounts of poisoning
80. It can be concluded from Dr Dubos’ remarks that_______
A) people find invisible diseases difficult to deal with
B) attacks by hidden enemies tend to be fatal
C) diseases with obvious sighs are easy to cure
D) people tend to overlook hidden dangers caused by pesticides


Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say of accommodation a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding, as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as for as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.

71. We can infer from the passage that________
A) English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats
B) People in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats
C) People in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats
D) Modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living
72. What is said about the blocks of flats built in the past in Britain ?
A) They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.
B) They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.
C) They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.
D) They provided playground for children on the top of the buildings
73. The word “rage” (Line 10) means “______”
A) be ignored B) develop with great force
C) encourage people greatly D) be in fashion
74. Some people oppose the building of flats because________
A) the living expenses for each individual family are higher
B) it involves higher cost compared with the building of houses
C) they believe people like to live in houses with gardens
D) the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats
75.The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses________
A) do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the city
B) have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service work
C) take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered community
D) have to spend move money and time traveling to work every day.

Researchers have established that when people are mentally engaged, biochemical changes occur in the brain that allow it to act more effectively in cognitively areas such as attention and memory. This is true regardless of age.
People will be alert and receptive if they are faced with information that gets them to think about things they are interested in. And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind.
Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting the theory to work in their own lives. “The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information,” says James Fozard, associate director of the National Institute on Aging. “Most of us don’t need that kind of skill. Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintainmental alertness. ” Fozard and others say they challenge their brains work.
Gene Cohen, acting director of the same institute, suggests that people in their old age should engage in mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups. Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age, but older people need to keep mentally active as well. Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better adjusted. “The point is, you need to do both.” Cohen says, “Intellectual activity actually influences brain-cell health and size. ”

61. People who are cognitively healthy are those________
A) who can remember large amounts of information
B) who are highly intelligent C) whose minds are alert and receptive
D) who are good at recognizing different sounds
62. According to Fozard’s argument, people can make their brains work more efficiently by___
A) constantly doing memory work B) taking part in various mental activities
C) going through specific training D) making frequent adjustments
63. The findings of James and other scientists in their work_______
A) remain a theory to be further proved
B) have been challenged by many other experts
C) have been generally accepted
D) are practiced by the researchers themselves
64. Older people are generally advised to _______
A) keep fit by going in for physical activities
B) keep mentally active by challenging their brains
C) maintain mental alertness through specific training
D) maintain a balance between individual and group activities
65. What is the passage mainly about?
A) How biochemical changes occur in the human brain
B) Why people should keep active not only physically but also mentally
C) How intellectual activities influence brain-cell health
D) Why people should receive special mental training as they age.
