備選項(xiàng)中有3個(gè)動詞原形，其中consume已經(jīng)填在了44題，在剩下的resume恢復(fù)和determine決定之間，根據(jù)語義，應(yīng)選擇determine。Readingisthoughttobeakindofconversationbetweenthereaderandthetext.Thereaderputsquestions,asitwere,tothetextandgetsanswers.Inthelightoftheseheputs_1_questions,andsoon.Formostofthetimethis“conversation"goesonbelowthelevelofconsciousness.Attimes,however,webecome2ofit.Thisisusuallywhenwearerunningintodifficulties,whenmismatchisoccurringbetween3andmeaning.Whensuccessfulmatchingisbeingexperienced,ourquestionofthetextcontinuesattheunconsciouslevel.Differentpeople_4withthetextdifferently.Somestayveryclosetothewordsonthepage,otherstakeoffimaginativelyfromthewords,interpreting,criticizing,analyzingandexamining.Theformerrepresentsakindofcomprehensionwhichis5inthetext.Thelatterrepresents_6_levelsofcomprehension.Thebalancebetweentheseisimportant,especiallyforadvancedreaders.Thereisanotherconversationwhichfromourpointofviewis7_important,andthatistodonotwithwhatisreadbutwithhowitisread.Wecallthisa“process"conversationas8toa“content“conversation.Itisconcernednotwithmeaningbutwiththe9weemployinreading.Ifweareanadvancedreaderourabilitytoholdaprocessconversationwithatextisusuallyprettywell10.Notsoourabilitytoholdacontentconversation.[A]opposed[B]converse[C]equallyD]written[E]developed[F]strategies[G]compared[H]awakehigher[J]expectations[K]deal[L]absolutely[M]aware[N]better[O]further參巧合茶?1.02.M3.J4.B5.D6.I7.C8.A9.Directions:Inthissection,thereisapassagewithtenblanks.Youarerequiredtoselectonewordforeachblankfromalistofchoicesgiveninawordbankfollowingthepassage.Readthepassagethroughcarefullybeforemakingyourchoices.Eachchoiceinthebankisidentifiedbyaletter.PleasemarkthecorrespondingletterforeachitemonAnswerSheet2withasinglelinethroughthecentre.Youmaynotuseanyofthewordsinthebankmorethanonce.Themethodformakingbeerhaschangedovertime.Hops（啤酒花）,forexample,whichgivemanyamodernbeeritsbitterflavor,area26recentadditiontothebeverage.Thiswasmentionedinreferencetobrewingintheninthcentury.Now,researchershavefounda27ingredientinresidue（殘留物）from5000-year-oldbeerbrewingequipment.WhileexcavatingtwopitsatasiteinthecentralplainsofChina,scientistsdiscoveredfragmentsfrompotsandve.Thedifferentshapesofthecontainers28
