听力原文: Making marks on a hook is absolutely necessary for efficient reading. By writing with hand, marking can keep the reader awake and concentrating on his reading, improving his active thinking and help him remember the thoughts of himself and those expressed by the author. It is true that sometimes people read novels or short stories mainly for pleasure and relaxation. But a great book full of rich ideas and beautiful language usually raises and tries to answer some serious basic questions. And such books demand the most careful reading. Putting notes on books not only draws the readers' attention but also gives him a good memory of language and thoughts.
Someone might think that writing and marking in the course of reading will take much more time and slow down reading, it probably will, but reading speed is not a measure of intelligence. Some books should be read quickly and with little effort, while some should be read slowly and with a great effort. The sign of intelligence, in reading is the ability to read different books differently ac- cording to their value. The important point is not to see how much one can finish, but rather how much one has learned and made to be the readers' own knowledge.
(23)
A.Spoiling a book.
B.Measuring reading speed.
C.Decoration a book with lines, signs, etc.
D.Taking notes on a book while reading.

The survey of 643 children and adults, ranking from pre-school to 40-plus, also suggests【C2】______penholding techniques have deteriorated sharply over one generation, with teachers now paying far【C3】______attention to correct pen grip and handwriting style.
Stephanie Thomas, a learning support teacher【C4】______findings have been published, was inspired to investigate this area【C5】______he noticed that those students who had the most trouble with spelling【C6】______had a poor pen grip. While Mr. Thomas could not establish a significant statistical link【C7】______pen-holding style. and accuracy in spelling,he【C8】______find huge differences in technique between the young children and the mature adults, and a definite【C9】______between near-point gripping and slow, illegible writing.
People who【C10】______their pens at the writing point also show other characteristics【C11】______inhibit learning,【C12】______as poor posture,leaning too【C13】______to the desk,using four fingers to grip the pen【C14】______than three, and clumsy positioning of the thumb(which can obscure【C15】______is being written ).
Mr. Thomas believes that the【C16】______between elder and younger writers is【C17】______too dramatic to be accounted for simply by the possibility that people get better at writing as they grow【C18】______.

Laws of Nature, however, are not commands but statements of facts. The use of the same word is unfortunate. This would do away with the idea that a law implies' a law-maker. But the difference between the two uses of the word is fundamental. If a piece of matter does not obey a Law of Nature it is not punished. On the contrary, we say that the law has been stated incorrectly. Certainly many of them have. Nevertheless, these inaccurately stated laws are of immense practical and theoretical value.
The main topic of this passage is that ______.
A.the name "A Law of Nature" is not quite adequate
B.Laws of Nature have a lot of practical and theoretical value
C.Laws of Nature do not always accurately state the nature of matters
D.law has two different meanings

Even people in traditional professions, where expert knowledge has been the key, are unlikely to escape the effects of new technology. Instead of going to a solicitor, you might go to a computer which is programmed with all the most up-to-date legal information. Doctors, too, will find that an electronic competitor will be able to carry out a much quicker and more accurate diagnosis and recommend more efficient courses of treatment. In education, teachers will be largely replaced by teaching machines far more knowledgeable than any human being. Most learning will take place in the home via video conferencing. Children will still go to school though ,until another place is created where they can make friends and develop social skills.
What can we do to avoid the threat of unemployment? We shouldn't hide our heads in the sand. Unions will try to stop change but they will be fighting a losing battle. People should get computer literate as this just might save them from professional extinction. After all, there will be a few jobs left in law, education and medicine for those few individuals who are capable of writing and programming the software of the future. Strangely enough, there will still be jobs like rubbish collection and cleaning as it is tough to programme tasks which are largely unpredictable.
According to the passage, the rate of change in technology ______.
A.will slow down
B.will come to a stop
C.will speed up
D.can not be predicted
