【长难句解读】
(1) Skimming and scanning is a good strategy when you are pressed for time, such as when you are taking an exam, but, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.
分析：句中的两个when都引导时间状语从句，句首的Skimming and scanning作主语。
译文：当你时间紧迫，比如你参加考试的时候，略读和快读是一个好方法，但是现在，很多人略读和快读一切，他们已经丧失了享受阅读的能力。
(2) Researchers have found that reading slowly, especially books of fiction, helps people concentrate, relax and think about what they are reading.
分析：句中的especially books of fiction是reading的宾谙。what they are reading为名词性从句，作think about的宾语。
译文：研究者已经发现慢速阅读，尤其是慢速阅读小说帮助人们集中注意力，放松和思考他们正在阅读的东西。
【1】C考查细节理解;由文章第一段最后一句Skimming and scanning is a good strategy when you are pressed for time, such as when you are taking an exam可知，在参加考试时，快速阅读是一个好的策略。
【2】D考查推理判断。综合文章第二、三段可知，慢速阅读能使人享受阅读的乐趣，能使人放松，能更好地让人去理解文章中人物的情感，但不会使人快速获得文章的大意．
【3】D考查推理判断。由文章倒数第二段 It also helps people empathize. This last point is important. When you read a novel slowly ,you get to understand the characters' emotions and to see the world through their eyes.可知，作者从阅读中了解人生百态，阅读为他提供心灵庇护，阅读助他洞察肚界，总之，他从阅读中获益匪浅。
【4】B考查推理判断．作者根据自身的阅读经历将阅读称之为”没有墙壁的课堂教育”，是因为他通过阅读增长了知识，更好地了解世界，故B项正确。
