题目内容
5.Today we'll talk about reading.When we read a text,our eyes move across a page in short,quick movements.We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate(停留,凝视).Each time they fixate,we see a group of words.This is known as the recognition span or the visual span.The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person.It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text.In addition,it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately,in the past,many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page.As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading,many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation.For example,in some exercises,words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second.One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point,taking in the words on either side.Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids,so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive(连续的)fixation.All these exercises are very clever,but it's one thing to improve a person's ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words.Consequently,for these reasons,many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training,especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated(孤立的)words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.

解答 72-75 CBAC
72 C 细节题. 根据文章第一 段 The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person.It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text.In addition,it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness."可知,对材料的熟悉程度、看书的目的、灯光和疲劳程度都会影响人的注意广度,故选C.
73 B 细节题. 根据文章第二 段 many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page…many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation"可知,许多课程只注意训练人们的眼睛,使人们能够看更多的文字,即使能够增加读者看文字的数量,但未必能够真正理解文字所表达的内容,由此可见,这些训练课程对提高阅读能力没有帮助,故选B.
74 A 细节题. 根据文章第二 段 Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words."可知,阅读需要理解字与字之间的逻辑联系,根据第二段可知,单纯训练眼睛一次看的数字的量,不一定能够真正理解文章的含义,排除B、C、D,故选A.
75 C 细节题. 根据文章第二 段 Unfortunately,…concentrated too much on…quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently…seem unlikely to help him in reading"可知,作者不赞成那些所谓的培训课程所提供的训练,A支持的;B中立的;C批评的;D乐观的,故选C.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
