Ⅰ.词汇与结构

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( 16 )a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend( 17 )can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are( 18 )readers.Most of us develop poor reading( 19 )at an early age, and never get over them.The main deficiency( 20 )in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually, words have( 21 )meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.( 22 ), however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to( 23 )words or passages.Regression, the tendency to look back over( 24 )you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which( 25 )down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as( 26 )reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an( 27 ), which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate( 28 )the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,( 29 )word by word reading, regression and subvocalization practically impossible.At first( 30 )is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster,( 31 )your comprehension will improve.Many people have found( 32 )reading skill drastically improved after some training.( 33 )Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance.His reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute( 34 )the training;now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.He is delighted that how he can( 35 )a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

【答案解析】
Ⅱ.完形填空
16.D【解析】applying意思是"申请"，后面可接for a job。只有D项getting(获得)符合题意。
17.A【解析】本句意为：快速阅读与理解的能力……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。
18.C【解析】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)。其他选项不妥。
19.B【解析】habits习惯;training训练，培训;situations形势;custom风俗习惯。
20.A【解析】combines联合，touches接触，involves包括，这三项与原文不符。而lies与in搭配，意为"在于"。
21.C【解析】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。
22.D【解析】在这里，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事实上;Logically合乎逻辑地。Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句意。
23.B【解析】此处表示"在阅读时经常反复读"，因此，选reread重读。reuse再使用;rewrite改写;recite背诵。
24.A【解析】此处所填的词是you have just read的宾语，用what。
25.C【解析】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"，在此合适。
26.B【解析】本段前文已经出现you，在此选one泛指某个人。
27.A【解析】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)。
28.D【解析】前面的faster决定了应当选than，构成比较级。
29.C【解析】快速阅读器迫使阅读者加快阅读速度，再也不能逐字阅读，退回阅读或者默读。只有making (使，使得)最合适。
30.B【解析】这里的意思是"速度最初会影响理解"，所以选comprehension(理解力)。
31.A【解析】与前半句中的not only相呼应，构成句式"不仅……而且……"，只有选but。
32.C【解析】本句中的主语是第三人称复数，物主代词必然是their。
33.B【解析】take...for instance为固定短语，意为："以……为例"。
34.D【解析】这里拿受训之前与受训之后进行比较，因此选before。
35.D【解析】此处意为：在较短时间内，读完更多的阅读材料。只有get through (读完)最恰当。
