For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In
1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend
2 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are
3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading
4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency
5 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have
6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs.
7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to
8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over
9you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which
10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as
11 reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an
12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate
13 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,
14 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first

16 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found
17 reading skill drastically improved after some training.

1 the talk with slides, writing up important information on the blackboard,
2 reading material and giving out
3 .The new student sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and

Most institutions provide courses which

【答案與解析】
（1）
1. D 本句意思是“誰如果想謀得一份差事”。applying需加for,意思是“申請”；B.doing做；C.offering提供此三項均不符題意， 只有D.getting(獲得)適合。
2. A 本句意為“快速閱讀與理解的能力，是關系到成敗的關鍵所在”只有quickly與原意吻合。easily(容易地)；roughly (粗略地)； decidedly(果斷地)均與原文內容不符。
3. C 英語中，閱讀速度快的人稱為good reader，反之，就是poor reader。根據上下文的內容，多數人都屬于poor reader，因此選poor(差的)。其它選項不妥。
4. B 此處的意思是“大多數人早期養成看書慢的習慣”因此選habits(習慣)。training (訓練，培訓)；situations(形勢)；custom(風俗習慣)。
5. A 此處說的是“主要的困難在于語言的自身要素，即單詞”。combines聯合；touches接觸；involves包括，這三項的詞義與原文不符。而lies與in構成搭配，意為“在于”。
6. C 這里的意思是“如果單個地看這些字，它們并沒有什么意義”。some有點；A lot許多；dull單調的。此三項不合題意。只有little(很少)是否定詞，合乎邏輯。
7. D 此句意為“作者對未受過閱讀訓練的人的不良習慣感到遺憾”。
Fortunately幸運地；In fact事實上；Logically合乎邏輯地,均不妥。
Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句義。
8. B 此句意為“在閱讀時經常重讀(反復讀)”因此，選reread重讀。reuse再使用；Rewrite改寫；recite背誦。
9. A 此處所填的詞既是look back over的賓語，又是you have just read的賓語，只有what能充當這種雙重成分。
10. C scales down按比例減少；cuts down削減；此兩項不合題意。
measures不能與down搭配。只有slow與down搭配的意思“放慢”，在此合適。
11. B 本段前文已經出現you，在此選one(泛指人們，我們，你)來代替you。some one無此用法。如果用reader，前面應加定冠詞。he不能與該段邏輯一致。
12. A 此句意為“訓練快速閱讀所使用的工具必然與提高閱讀速度有關”，因此選accelerator (快讀器)。actor演員；amplifier放大器；observer觀察者。
13. D 前面的faster決定了應當選than，構成比較級。
14. C 此句意為“快速閱讀器迫使你加快閱讀速度，使你再也不能逐字閱讀，回顧前文內容或者默讀”。enabling相當于making possible；leading引導；indicating指出，表明。都不合題意。只有making (使，使得)最合適。
15. B 這里的意思是“速讀最初會影響理解”，所以選comprehension(理解力)。meaning意義，意思，指詞或詞組表示的意義；gist大意，要旨regression回顧
16. A 與前半句中的not only相呼應，構成句式“不僅……，而且……”，只有選but，而nor；or或for均不能構成固定用法。
17. C 本句中的主語是第三人稱復數，物主代詞必然是their。
18. B take與后面的for instance構成短語，意為：“以……例”，其它三項不能構成搭配。
19. D 這里提到受訓之前與受訓之后進行比較,對比，因此選before。
20. D 此處意為：在較短時間內，讀完眾多的材料。master掌握；go over復習；present呈現，展現；此三項均不妥；只有get through (讀完)最恰當。
（2）
1. B 將第1，2，3題通盤考慮。此處意為“老師會花一兩個小時用幻燈來解釋講課的內容，寫出一些重要的信息,散發一些閱讀材料,布置作業”。illustrate用圖解說明，舉例說明。
2. C 參考第1題答案。attribute把……的原因歸為……；contribute有助于，貢獻；distribute分發，散發，與下文的give out同義。
3. A assignments作業，任務。
4. C 新生發現別的學生一直在記筆記,他們不知道該記些什么,所以用wonders。而suspects(懷疑)；understands (理解，明白)；convinces(讓人相信)與題意不符。
5. B with結構在此表示伴隨的結果，說明學生聽完講座卻記了一些抓不住重點的筆記。
6. D 這里是一個并列句，并列的兩個部分是which do not catch the main points and which become hard even for the students to understand.
7. D 此句意為：學生記下的筆記連自己也無法明白。
8. C 鑒于上述情況，許多學校開設課程以幫助新生
培養記筆記的能力，成為一名真正有效率的聽眾。assist幫助，援助。
9. A 參考第8題答案。effective有效的；passive被動的；relative相對的；expressive表現的，富于表情的。
10. D 此處的意思是：如果這些課程不可行的話，還會有許多行之有效的學習技巧的指導，這些指導使學生們能夠獨立地鍛煉這些學習技巧，在此If表示假設條件。
11. A enable sb.to do sth使人能夠干什么；stimulate激發，刺激；advocate提倡，倡導；prevent阻止。
12. A independently獨立地；repeatedly再三，重復地；logically合乎邏輯地；generally大體上，一般地。
13. C 此句意為“通常學生在開始學習之前就應該解決這種聽課技能的問題”，此處C.to tackle problem意為“解決問題”。evaluate估計，評估；acquaint使認識，了解；formulate用公式表示，系統地闡述或提出。
14. A 參考13題。
15. B 這里的意思是“承認大多數學生在獲取語言技能方面有困難，這是很重要的。因為只有承認這種困難才能提出克服困難的方法”。所以選B.acknowledge承認，認可。
predict預測；argue爭論，論證；ignore忽略，忽視。
16. B 過去分詞做定語。
17. D 克服困難用overcome difficulty。不用preventing阻止，阻礙；withstand經受住，抵抗；sustain支撐，經受。
18. D 本題涉及學年的表達方法。
19. B 此句意為：另一種基本的方案或策略是尋找一個學習的伙伴。strategy策略，方案。
20. C 本題測試介詞與關系代詞的用法，with whom表示與同伴一起學習。
