22、份差事”。applying需加for,意思是“申请”;B.doing做;C.offering提供此三项均不符题意,只有D.getting(获得)适合。2.【答案】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。3.【答案】C英语中,阅读速度快的人称为good reader,反之,就是poor reader。根据上下文的内容,多数人都属于poor reader,因此选poor(差的)。其它选项不妥。4.【答案】B此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成看书慢的习惯”因此
23、选habits(习惯)。training (训练,培训);situations(形势);custom(风俗习惯)。5.【答案】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.【答案】C这里的意思是“如果单个地看这些字,它们并没有什么意义”。some有点;A lot许多;dull单调的。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词,合乎逻辑。7.【答案】D此句意为“作者对未受过阅读训练的人的不良习惯感到遗憾”。Fortunately幸运地;In fact事
24、实上;Logically合乎逻辑地,均不妥。Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句义。8.【答案】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;Rewrite改写;recite背诵。9.【答案】A此处所填的词既是look back over的宾语,又是you have just read的宾语,只有what能充当这种双重成分。10.【答案】Cscales 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”,在此合适。11.【答案】B本段前文已经出现you,在此选one
25、(泛指人们,我们,你)来代替you。some one无此用法。如果用reader,前面应加定冠词。he不能与该段逻辑一致。12.【答案】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。13.【答案】D前面的faster决定了应当选than,构成比较级。14.【答案】C此句意为“快速阅读器迫使你加快阅读速度,使你再也不能逐字阅读,回顾前文内容或者默读”。enabling相当于making possible;leading引导;indicating指出,表明。都不合题意。只有making (使,使得)最合适。15.【答案】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16.【答案】A与前半句中的not only相呼应,构成句式“不仅,而且”,只有选but,而nor;or或for均不能构成固定用法。17.【答案】C本句中的主语是第三人称复数,物主代词必然是their。18.【答案】Btake与后面的for instance构成短语,意为:“以例”,其它三项不能构成搭配。19.【答案】D这
