40、ing 做；offering 提供; 此三项均不符题意，只有 getting (获得)适合。2 A 本句意为 “快速阅读与理解的能力，是关系到成败的关键所在”。只有 quickly 与原意吻合。easily(容易地)；roughly (粗略地) ；decidedly(果断地 )均与原文内容不符。w3 C 英语中，阅读能力强的人称为 good reader，反之，就是 poor reader。根据上下文的能力内容，多数人都属于 poor reader，因此选 poor(差的) 。其它选项不妥。4 B 此处的意思是“ 大多数人早期养成了看书慢的习惯”。因此选 habits(习惯) 。trainin
41、g (训练，培训) ；situations( 形势)；custom(风俗习惯)。5 A 此处说的是“主要的困难在于语言的自身要素，即单词” 。combines 联合；touches 接触；involves 包括；这三项的词义与原文不符。而 lies 与 in 构成搭配，意为“在于” 。6 D 此句意为“ 然而遗憾的是未受过阅读训练的人就不会按意群阅读”。Fortunately 幸运地；In fact 事实上； Logically 合乎逻辑地,均不妥。Unfortunately(不幸地) 合乎句义。7 B 此句意为“ 在阅读时经常重读 (反复读)”因此，选 reread 重读。reuse 再使用
42、；Rewrite改写；recite 背诵。8 C scales down 按比例减少；cuts down 削减；此两项不合题意。measures 不能与down 搭配。只有 slow 与 down 搭配的意思“放慢, 减速”，在此合适。9 A 此句意为“训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关” ，因此选accelerator (快读器) 。actor 演员；amplifier 放大器；observer 观察者。10 D 前面的 faster 决定了应当选 than，构成比较级。11 C make impossible (使不可能) 。此句意为“快速阅读器迫使你加快阅读速度，使你再也不能
43、逐字阅读，回顾前文内容或者默读”。 12 B 这里的意思是“速读最初会影响理解”，所以选 comprehension(理解力) 。meaning 意义，意思，指词或词组表示的意义；gist 大意，要旨；regression 回顾。13 C 本句中的主语是第三人称复数，物主代词必然是 their。14 B take 与后面的 for instance 构成短语，意为：“以 例”，其它三项不能构成搭配。15 D 此处意为：在较短时间内，读完众多的材料。 master 掌握；go over 复习；present呈现，展现；此三项均不妥 只有 get through (读完)最恰当。Passage 1
