Features: Based on the authors' first-hand teaching experience in preparing senior high school students for the English college entrance examination, we have compiled 20 sets of high school English reading ability timed training questions according to the original format of the English college entrance examination. Each set of training questions is designed as a template for the English college entrance examination reading test, including 1 cloze test and 5 reading comprehension passages. The reason for combining cloze test and reading comprehension into one training is that these two are the main question types in English exams that assess reading ability, and they are also the most challenging parts for many students. At the same time, they account for the largest proportion of the English college entrance examination score, so the authors believe that these two parts should not be trained separately. The training questions in the book are arranged from easy to difficult, with each set recommended to be completed within 45 minutes. Students can set fixed times each week and carry out training according to their own circumstances. During training, record the start and end times, and after completing the questions, summarize the results, calculate the time spent and accuracy rate. After a period of training, check whether your English reading ability has improved and by how much. Whether the time taken decreases or the correct answer rate improves, it is progress. At the same time, the questions become more difficult as you progress, and students should take this factor into account when evaluating their practice results. According to the difficulty coefficient of reading passages stipulated by the new English curriculum standards, the book lists the difficulty coefficient of each passage at the end for reference. Among them: 70-80 is relatively difficult to read; 80-90 is easy to read; 90-100 is very easy to read. The higher the difficulty coefficient, the easier the passage is, but this does not mean that the difficulty of the questions raised in the passage. There are answer keys and explanations at the end of each set of training questions, and the book also provides detailed explanations of the specific problem-solving techniques for cloze test and reading comprehension at the beginning. We hope that students can carefully reflect and summarize while reading this book, and through extensive training, achieve a proficient application of these techniques.
