29、度相当于Thirty-Nine Steps（简写本）的浅显材料以及Readers Digest，阅读速度为每分钟70-120个单词，能理解中心大意，抓住主要情节或论点。在学完2年之后，学生应能读懂难度相当于美国Newsweek的国际新闻报道；能读懂难度相当于Sons and Lovers的文学原著。要求在理解的基础上抓住要点，并能运用正确观点评价思想内容。阅读速度为每分钟120-160个单词，理解准确率不低于70%。能在5分钟内速读1000词左右，中等难度的文章，掌握文章的大意。2. 在学生理解的基础上不断提高快速阅读（Speed / Quick Reading, Timed Reading

30、under Conditions 也称限时阅读）的技巧。 略读（Skimming 也称浏览）：主要测试学生在规定的时间内（即每分钟100-120词汇）读完约500词汇，难度适中的文章，目的是要猎取段落中心大意。当学生没有时间仔细阅读或想确定是否值得细读（如报纸等）时，就采用此种快速阅读技巧。跳读（Scanning，也称查阅，略读）：主要测试学生在规定（每分钟100-120词汇）的时间内，从指定阅读材料（如书刊目录）快速寻找有关特定信息或事实性信息（factual information）如特定日期，名字或数字等的能力。 评读（Critical Reading）：主要测试学生对所读内容作出判断和

32、试必须有科学性、客观性和可行性。不同阶段的测试应有不同的要求。低年级即基础阶段主要检测学生的事实性阅读理解能力；而高年级阶段则主要检测学生的评判性和鉴赏性阅读能力。考核目的：学生在学完2年之后应能顺利通过全国英语专业4级统考，在学完4年之后，应能通过全国英语专业8级统考。测试的目标有以下几个层次：1字面层次（LITERALLEVEL）：学生必须理解篇章中的单词与句子意义。2归纳层次（INDUCTIVE LEVEL）：学生必须掌握篇章的基本概念，例如篇章所涉及的话题，有关这话题的细节，以及由这些细节所得出的概括。3推论层次（DEDUCTIVE LEVEL）：学生必须能够得出结论；做出推论；在给定

34、marily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation world-wide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air

35、-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Cente

36、r for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic snow were declining.In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of Europea

37、n, Asian and Canadian gasoline and thus enabled scientists to differentiate the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the North-easter

38、n United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in N

39、ew England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990.The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that t

The study published in the journal Nature indicates that A) the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsB) lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increaseC) lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expectedD) the US is the ma

How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?A) By a

The authors of the Ambio study have found that A) forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expectedB) lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal withC) lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the USD) the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists A) are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollutionB) feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasolineC) still consider lead pollution a p
