Directions: There are some blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.Students will need【21】all of their language skills in order【22】understand the reading selections in Reader"s Choice. The book contains many types of selection on a wide variety of topics. These selections provide practice【23】using different reading strategies to extract the message of the writer. They also give students practice in four【24】reading skills: skimming, scanning, reading for【25】comprehension, and critical reading.
  Skimming is quick reading for the general ideas of a passage. This kind of rapid reading is【26】when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or when there is not time to read something carefully.
  Like skimming,【27】is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more【28】. To scan is to read【29】in order to locate specific information, when you read to find a particular date, or number you are scanning.
  Reading for thorough comprehension is【30】reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage.【31】this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author"s ideas but has not【32】made a critical evaluation of those ideas.
  Critical reading demands that a reader【33】judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of reading requires posting and【34】questions such as "Does my own experience support【35】of the author?", "Do I share the author"s point of view?" and "Am I convinced by the author"s arrangements and evidence?"
