One of the techniques of writing successfully in an academic environment is to be able to combine the important points of what you have read with your writing. To do this, you must have a clear picture of what you have read, and this in itself will___1__active and focused reading.With academic reading, it is necessary to focus constantly on what the author is saying. Yet many academic texts are ___2___written in unfamiliar ways,which make them much more difficult to manage than, for example, a novel or a magazine article. Although sometimes there may be reasons why you need to skim-read an article or book, this is likely to be only to get the general idea of what is being said, as a way of deciding whether it is___3___reading material or not. In general, skim reading is not a particular useful strategy for a student, but you may 4 it in other contexts, for example, skimming through a newspaper article or surfing the web. Instead of skim-reading, you will be developing ways of concentrating on quite dense texts and making sense of them.
Even though you may only be reading for short 5 of time, it is likely that you will have to concentrate for more intensely on academic reading material than, for example, when reading for pleasure. You don’t 6 have to work in the library, but you will need to decide what type of location and atmosphere suits you best, and establish conditions that are 7 to effective study.
The 8 difficulty that most students face is choosing their reading. The first thing to do is to consult the reading list you have been given for books and articles that seem relevant to your particular assignment. Doing a library search, by key words or subject, is also useful if the 9 on your reading list are already on loan from the library. Your tutor should also be able to advise you as to which are the most relevant 10 or websites.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B，C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Different people may find that different learning methods work best for them. While some would 1 tutoring in order to get better grades, others choose to join study groups. 2 , many universities encourage their students to form study groups and make good use of them.
\heads are better than one.\That's the simple idea behind study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best 3 resources: other students. They get to pick each other 's 4 and improve their own understanding of different problems.
Usually,study groups can create the slightly 5 atmosphere in which it's good to study. For example, some students tend to procrastinate （拖延） when they are studying by themselves. However, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working 6 and are likely to thus have motivation for working harder.
Study groups work 7 when they are small, but not too small-four to five participants is about right. And it's 8 to make sure everyone has the same goal, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review the week's lecture notes. 9 , socializing in the group would make studying more fun as long as it took up only a small portion of group study time.
In addition, to optimize(优化) 10 , some study groups like to assign members certain roles. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a(n) 11 purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to 12 their sources. For instance, when a group member says\-seeker should ask for 13 . This person reminds the group that it's 14 to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to 15 that all group members are participating, may ask a direct question to help a shy person participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

（A）
For the past few years, an email gets circulated prior to the beginning of a month that has 31 days and begins on a Friday. It usually says something like,\2014 has five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays, and this will not occur again for 823years.\
Because I love math so much and know many people in the mathematical field, I get this email forward to me all the time with comments like,\this cool,Mike?\Even though the facts are totally false(it will happen again in 2025 and then again in 2031), this email continues to be passed around. It is human nature to believe everything you read without thinking if it is logical.
When you were a kid, you might have been told not to cross your eyes because they will stay crossed, or not to go outside with your hair wet or you will catch pneumonia(肺炎). Those were common misconceptions when I was growing up. I thought they were true until I heard otherwise. But sometimes, as a kid, you may try to explain something to yourself, start believing it is true, and find out many years later that it is totally false.
