Mid-exam(forBook1)

1、单选题：
Passage 1‌Directions: Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.‌ ‌     For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are poor readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never get over them. The main problem lies in language itself – words. Single words have little meaning until they are combined into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He reads one word at a time, often regressing to reread words or passages. Regression, or looking back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization – sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.‌      To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called accelerator (加速器), which moves a bar down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and vocalization virtually impossible. At first, comprehension is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skills improved a lot after some training.‌​‌​1.

6、单选题：
‌Passage 2‍Directions: Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.‍   Like death and taxes, there is no escaping color. That is, it seems to be everywhere. Yet what does it all mean? Why are people more relaxed in green rooms? Why do weightlifters do their best in blue gyms?‍    Colors often have different meanings in various cultures. And even in Western societies, the meanings of various colors have changed over the years. But today researchers have generally found the following to be accurate.‍    Black is the color of power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission (顺从). Priests（牧师） wear black to show submission to God. But black clothes can also be overpowering.‍    Brides wear white as a symbol of purity. White reflects light and is considered a summer color. White is popular in fashion because it is light and goes with everything. Doctors and nurses wear white to imply that they are clean.‍    As the most emotionally strong color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Red cars are popular targets for thieves.‍    The color of the sky and the ocean, blue causes the opposite reaction (反应) as red. Peaceful blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Fashion advisors recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it stands for loyalty (忠诚) . People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.‍     Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision (视力). It is a calming color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. ‍    Sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered a cheerful color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused.‍‌‍‌6. What does the author most probably mean by "there is no escaping color" (Para. 1)?‍
