　　[答案与详解]　　答案：

CCCDA　　解题思路1C.事实细节题.第一段提到了影响视幅的因素：

不同的人,不同的阅读目的,对材料的熟悉程度,光线,疲劳.C"一组词的长度〞不是能影响视幅的因素,是本题的答案.2C.观点态度题.作者在第二段第二句提到,眼睛训练课程只注重了阅读的视觉因素.倒数第二句书哦,阅读要求具备理解单词间关系的能力.因此选项C"阅读需要大脑的深度参与〞正确.作者没有否定阅读的视觉因素的必要性,但是也没有说读者应该练习拓宽视幅,加快阅读速度.所以AB两项都不正确.作者没有对大脑和眼睛在阅读过程中的重要性进行对比,所以不选D3C.作者在这句话中先是肯定了那些阅读练习提高看单词的能力,然后提出了有效阅读概念.后面句中还指出,有效阅读需要的是理解单词间的联系的能力.所以作者的意思应该是那些<训练眼睛的>阅读练习对与有效的阅读无益.B与文章相反.D句是蕴涵其中一个意思,却不是作者想表达的方向.4D.第二段最后一句说,眼睛训练对于帮助读者阅读连贯文章无益,所以D是错的,是本题答案.5A.参考前面的结构剖析,作者写本文的主要目的是对那些只关注阅读的视觉因素的阅读能力课程进行批判,所以答案应该是A.
