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 __9__ you 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.

第四篇答案+解說:
1.【答案】D
【解析】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(xiàng)均不符題意, 只有D.getting(獲得)適合。
2.【答案】A
【解析】本句意為“快速閱讀與理解的能力,是關(guān)系到成敗的關(guān)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(nèi)容不符。
3.【答案】C
【解析】英語中,閱讀速度快的人稱為good reader,反之,就是poor reader。根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容,多數(shù)人都屬于poor reader,因此選poor(差的)。其它選項(xiàng)不妥。
4.【答案】B
【解析】此處的意思是“大多數(shù)人早期養(yǎng)成看書慢的習(xí)慣”因此選habits(習(xí)慣)。training (訓(xùn)練,培訓(xùn));situations(形勢);custom(風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣)。
5.【答案】A
【解析】此處說的是“主要的困難在于語言的自身要素,即單詞”。combines聯(lián)合;touches接觸;involves包括,這三項(xiàng)的詞義與原文不符。而lies與in構(gòu)成搭配,意為“在于”。
6.【答案】C
【解析】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(diǎn);A lot許多;dull單調(diào)的。此三項(xiàng)不合題意。只有l(wèi)ittle(很少)是否定詞,合乎邏輯。
7.【答案】D
【解析】此句意為“作者對未受過閱讀訓(xùn)練的人的不良習(xí)慣感到遺憾”。
Fortunately幸運(yùn)地;In fact事實(shí)上;Logically合乎邏輯地,均不妥。
Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句義。
8.【答案】B
【解析】此句意為“在閱讀時經(jīng)常重讀(反復(fù)讀)”因此,選reread重讀。reuse再使用;Rewrite改寫;recite背誦。
9.【答案】A
【解析】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(dāng)這種雙重成分。
10.【答案】C
【解析】scales down按比例減少;cuts down削減;此兩項(xiàng)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.【答案】B
【解析】本段前文已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)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(yīng)加定冠詞。he不能與該段邏輯一致。
12.【答案】A
【解析】此句意為“訓(xùn)練快速閱讀所使用的工具必然與提高閱讀速度有關(guān)”,因此選accelerator (快讀器)。actor演員;amplifier放大器;observer觀察者。
13.【答案】D
【解析】前面的faster決定了應(yīng)當(dāng)選than,構(gòu)成比較級。
14.【答案】C
【解析】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(nèi)容或者默讀”。enabling相當(dāng)于making possible;leading引導(dǎo);indicating指出,表明。都不合題意。只有making (使,使得)合適。
15.【答案】B
【解析】這里的意思是“速讀初會影響理解”,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.【答案】A
【解析】與前半句中的not only相呼應(yīng),構(gòu)成句式“不僅……,而且……”,只有選but,而nor;or或for均不能構(gòu)成固定用法。
17.【答案】C
【解析】本句中的主語是第三人稱復(fù)數(shù),物主代詞必然是their。
18.【答案】B
【解析】take與后面的for instance構(gòu)成短語,意為:“以……例”,其它三項(xiàng)不能構(gòu)成搭配。
19.【答案】D
【解析】這里提到受訓(xùn)之前與受訓(xùn)之后進(jìn)行比較,對比,因此選before。
20.【答案】D
【解析】此處意為:在較短時間內(nèi),讀完眾多的材料。master掌握;go over復(fù)習(xí);present呈現(xiàn),展現(xiàn);此三項(xiàng)均不妥;只有g(shù)et through (讀完)恰當(dāng)。
