三、閱讀理解
When first entered,Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob（烤肉串）hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.
Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.
The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming.
Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers, especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics,watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food.
The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large.Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well.
The food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill（烤肉架）.
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat.
One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread.Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef.
Although the restaurant s small, the atmosphere and the food is delicious. It is a place that should not be overlooked.

One evening in February 20xx, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales.She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path.That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train.Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line.Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely’ s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device.She had never driver the route before.It was dark and raining heavily.Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing.“I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train, ”she told the BBC.
Who is to blame here Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us,points the finger at the limitations of technology.We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job.They are filled with small problems.And it’s not just GPS devices:Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes.A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map.Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention.Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system .Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book.In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars.He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country.He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable,Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets .Or changing social circumstances.Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex.It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in.Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines.After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years.They have probably been fooling us for just a.s long.
1.What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident
A. She was not familiar with the road.
B. It was dark and raining heavily then.
C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.
D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing.
2.The phrase “near miss”（Paragraph 2）can best be replaced by ________.
A. close hitB. heavy loss
C. narrow escapeD. big mistake
3.Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with
A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.
B. Digtal technology often falls short of our expectation.
C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.
4.In the writer’s opinion,Stevenson’s argument is ________ .
A. one-sidedB. reasonable
C. puzzlingD. well-based
5.What is the real concern of the writer of this article
A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B. The human unawareness of technical problems.
C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
D. The relationship between humans and technology.
Have you ever complained, “I remember reading it, but I can’t remember what it said ” then you should try the SQ4R reading method.
S = Survey.The first step is to take a few minutes skimming the chapter. Don’t read it yet, just look at topic headings, key words, and read the summary.
Q = Question. As you prepare to read the chapter,turn the first topic into a question or two.As you read, seach for the answer.This will help you organize your reading-find the parts that answer your question, give an example ,consist of related information or that may answer a later question.Most importantly, this gives you a reason to read the next paragraph.
R = Read.Read in short “bites”（部分）,then determine how that answers question（s）you originally posed（提出）.Often as you read other questions will arise.
R = Recite. Now can you answer your question（s）in your own words If you can’t, reread the material to find the answers or determine if you need to change the question.You are rehearsing（重復，默誦）for the time when you will need o know the answer.A good technique for rehearsing answers is to briefly jot down（草草記下）the key words that remind you of the essence of the answer without writing down every detail.
R = Relate.Most of us try to relate what we are reading to what we already know.It is always easier and more satisfying to remember information that is personally meaningful. Everything has a context.Some information may take more reflection before you are able to grasp its relationship with what you already know while other information may simply require more research, to understand how it fits with other data.
R = Review.One way to minimize memory decay（衰退）and to store the material you have studied firmly in your mind is by reviewing it.After you finish reading the entire chapter, skim back over it and any note you made.
Effective studying requires effective reading.Rather than getting“intellectual indigestion” while reading straight through a chapter, instead you should stop to survey, question, read, recite, relate, and review so as to improve your reading comprehension.
1.What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Six steps to skim through a chapter.
B. The purpose of using the SQ4R reading method.
C. An effective way of getting“intellectual indigestion”.
D. A method to help you learn what you read effectively.
2.In author’s view, the step of“reading”is a process that ________ .
A. you determine what questions should be posed an answered
B. you find key words to remind you of the essence of a chapter
C. you search for answers to the questions you created before reading
D. you make preparation for the next steps -recite and relate
3.Why does the author advise readers to relate what they learn while reading a chapter
A. Because it can make us recognize the meaningful information.
B. Because the purpose of reading is to know relationships between data.
C. Because it’ll be more enjoyable as we’ll be reminded of what we’ve known.
D. Because it’ll be easier to grasp and remember the information from the chapter.
4.How can we remember what we have learned firmly according to the passage
A. By reading it.B. By reviewing it.
C. By questioning it.D. By relating it.
5.Unlike the SQ4R reading method, “intellectual indigestion”may result from the way of ________ .
A. rehearsing for the time when you will need to know the answer
B. not finding a purpose for reading the next paragraph
C. reading straight through a chapter ineffectively
D. reviewing many times to store materials in your mind
In Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century.Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments In the U.S.A, the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.
The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash.There is a charge for interest.The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him.He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly,until the full price is paid up.The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.
Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to fumish their homes and star housekeeping, It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment .There is ,however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse.This may result in a great increase in unemployment.If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments.If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money.If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression .This is why, in some countries,the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.
1.Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the installment plan
A. A lot of British families use the installment plan.
