"Of course not. I'm enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a
fence like this every day?" Tom said and went on painting.

getting more and more interested.
After a while, he said, "Tom, will you let me do some painting?"
"No way, Aunt Polly wants it to be done properly. I'm the only one that

Scanning(泛读) and skimming(跳读) are two skills you use with speed.
They can help you find information fast.
Scanning is a skill good readers use to find out if the material is what
they want or need to read. When you scan, you do not read all the material.
You only read a little bit here and there to give you an idea of what the
material is about.
For example, you may be interested in horses and find a book in the
library called The Great Iron Horse. "Wow, that sounds interesting," you think.
However, as you look through the book and scan the pages, you discover it is
not a book about the horse, but the train. You are glad you scanned the book
first before checking it out!
Skimming is a similar skill to scanning. It is also done quickly. You skim
material looking for specific information. You do not read all the material.
You have in your mind what information you are looking for before you read.
Then you skim the material just for that information. In skimming, you look at
titles, subheads(小标题), and words in italics and boldface. These words may
give you clues to where you can find the information you need.
For example, if you are looking for information on Marco Polo's journeys
and, specifically, the date of his journeys, you would first skim the titles and
subheads to see if there was information on Marco Polo. Finding a section(部
分) on Marco Polo, you would skim to find the subhead on his journeys.
Then you would skim this section to look for a date.
( )41.What is The Great Iron Horse about?
A. The library. B. The horse. C. The train. D. The book.
( )42.What does the underlined word "clues" mean in Chinese?
A. 线索 B. 主旨 C. 理由 D. 要求
( )43.Which is the missing part in the chart(图表)?A. Check to see if it is about Marco Polo.
B. Read here and there to look for the date.
C. Look through the book and scan the pages.
D. Find the subhead on Marco Polo's journeys.
( )44.[中考创新考法|篇章结构题]What's the structure of the text?
(P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
( )45.What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to find key words. B. How to read with speed.
C. How to understand titles. D. How to get the main idea.
