Passage 1
Editor:
These days there has been a lot of talk about cutting a day off the six-day work week. I find one more excuse for taking this system.
It says that under today?s conditions, when our work efficiency is still very low and the work-load quite heavy, we cannot follow the example of technologically advanced western countries in practicing the five-day work week. Their conclusion is: The time is not ripe for such a system.
I really don?t see much point in this argument. They say the efficiency of the majority of our workers has been very low, but do they know what has caused today?s low efficiency? It?s old time requirement that no matter how soon you can get your work done, you must still stick to your post and never leave.
If we do not start a new system that is more exciting now, there are few chances that the low
11
efficiency in our work can be changed.

A. Japan B. China C. Italy D. Russia 42. It is _______ that caused today?s low efficiency according to the author.

Passage 2
One of the most important tasks of remembering what you read is choosing the right ideas to remember. It?s easy to say this, but many readers do not realize that they must learn to choose what is worth remembering.
Just as a traveler in a desert searches for landmarks, you must learn to find‘landmarks’to guide you through your reading. These landmarks are the main ideas, the important statements around which the writer builds his article.
To find main ideas easily, you should practise the skill of looking for the most important statement in each paragraph. If this statement were taken away, the paragraph would have no meaning. But if the rest of the paragraph were taken away, the statement would still make the writer?s message clear.
By collecting the main ideas of the paragraphs you read, you will find you have a series of statements that, put together, make up the main ideas the writer wanted you to discover. 46. This passage tells us . A. how to read B. how to remember
C. how to find the main ideas to remember D. the importance of reading.
47. If you travel in a desert, and don?t want to lose your way, you should follow the . A. footprints B. main ideas C. important statements D. landmarks 48. To find main ideas easily, you should . A. take up reading B. write often C. practice reading more
