3.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 getting a job advancing,the ability to read and comprehend (47)A can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are (48)D readers.Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age,and never (49)C them.The main shortage lies in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually,words have little(50)B until they are combined together into phrases,sentences and paragraphs.Unfortunately,(51)A,the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He read one word at a time with difficulty,often regressing to (52)B words or passages.Regression,namely,the tendency to look back over what you have just read,is a common(53)A habit in reading.Another bad habit which (54)D the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either (55)A or mentally as one reads.
To overcome these bad habits,some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator,which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set a slightly (56)B rate than the reader finds comfortable,in order to"(57)D"him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,making word-by-word reading,regression and sub-vocalization,practically (58)B.At first comprehension is (59)C speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts,you will not only read faster,but your comprehension will improve.Many people have found their reading skill (60)A improved after some training.Take Charles Au,a business manager,for instance,his reading rate was a reasonably good 172words a minute before the training,now it is an excellent 1,378words a minute.He is delighted that now he can go through a lot more reading material in a(n) (61)C period of time.

分析 很多人在小的时候养成了不好的阅读习惯,文章介绍了一种阅读加速器可以提高阅读速度和了解能力.

解答 47-61 ADCBA BADAB DBCAC
47.A 考查副词.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.silently沉默地;thoroughly彻底地;vaguely模糊地,均与原文内容不符. 
48.D 考查形容词.根据下文Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age可知,我们很多人在很早的时候就形成了不好的阅读习惯,所以此空poor readers符合题意.
49.C 考查动词.此处kick是动词,踢,句意为:很多人再也不能摆脱这些不好的阅读习惯.
50.B 考查名词.这里的意思是"如果单个地看这些字,它们并没有什么意义".formation信息;pronunciation发音;transformation变化,改观,此三项不合题意.
51.A 考查连接词.根据Unfortunately可知,上下句之间表示转折,但是,不幸地是,很多没有受过训练的读者不会阅读句群.
52.B 考查动词.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. 
53.A 考查形容词.此句意为"回读是阅读中一个常见的很糟糕的习惯,"选horrible表示糟糕的符合题意.
54.D 考查动词.Another bad habit is vocalization另外一个不好的阅读习惯是发出声音,所以reduce the speed of reading 符合语境,降低阅读速度.
55.A 考查副词.根据前句vocalization可知,这种阅读习惯是发声,orally为口头上地符合语境.
56.B 考查形容词.此处介绍的快速阅读器,自然比读者阅读速度稍微快点,faster符合语境.
57.D 考查动词.此处stretch为拉伸,延长,句意为使用快速阅读器目的是为了提高读者阅读速度.
58.B 考查形容词.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".故impossible是不可能的意思,符合语境.
59.C 考查动词.根据前文介绍可知,使用了阅读加速器会损失阅读的理解力,be sacrificed for是为某种目标或原因牺牲.
60.A 考查副词.句意为很多人发现他们的阅读技能显著提高,dramatically用来修饰improve表示显著提高符合语境.
61.C 考查形容词.此处意为:在较短时间内,读完众多的材料.此处limited表示有限制的,符合语境.

点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,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.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断

14.For many high school students,it seems that there is never enough time.There are several steps you can take to organize your time better.
1.Make a to-do list every day.It makes it easy to plan any activities or meetings you may have in addition to homework.Be sure to set priorities (优先的事物).(36)C
2.Use spare time wisely.Do you have a study hall?Instead of wasting that time,read a book or do homework.(37)D If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do,realize which is more important and see your friend later.
3.Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things.If you are more of a morning person,try getting up an hour earlier and do schoolwork before school.Review your notes every day.(38)F If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learned,it will mean less time studying when it is time for the exam.
4.(39)B Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory.When you are tired,everything seems more difficult.It is best to stay on a regular sleeping cycle as much as possible.

15.One day,Bruce invited his friends to supper.He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen.Suddenly,he (61)found (find) that he had run out of salt.So Bruce called to his son,"Go to the village and buy some salt,but pay a fair price for it:neither too much(62)nortoo little."
His son looked surprised."I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much,Father,but (63)
if I can pay less,why not save a bit of money?"
"That would be a very (64)reasonable(reason) thing to do in a big city,but it could destroy a small village like ours,"Bruce said.
Bruce's guests,(65)who had heard their conversation,asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could.Bruce replied,"The only reason (66)why a man would sell salt at a lower price would be that he was very eager for money.And anyone who made use (67)of this situation would be showing a lack of respect(68)for the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."
"But such a small thing couldn't possibly destroy a village."
"In the beginning,there was only (69)a very small amount of unfairness in the world,but everyone added a little,always (70)thinking (think) that it was only small and not very important,and look what the world is like today."
13.My family was very concerned for my sister…and understandably so.Helen was on a flight from Los Angeles to Phoenix.Although the flight was short,it provided (11)C time for her to get to know the Morrisons,an Arizona couple seated in her row.The plane was only in the air for a couple of minutes(12)A the wife,Marcie,fell asleep,leaving her husband Daniel and my sister sitting next to each other in silence.Maybe it was a feeling of(13)C that sparked it,or maybe it was the need to(14)B.Whatever the case,within minutes Daniel began to(15)Dthe couple's story.
He told my sister how he and Marcie had flown to Los Angeles that morning to meet with a doctor of(16)D medicine about treating Marcie,only 35,for her stage 4 breast cancer.(17)A the diagnosis of the doctors in Phoenix had given Marcie only a few months to live,the couple had decided to(18)C other forms of treatment.Although they both felt (19)B about what had been described to them that day,they were also dismayed to learn that the alternative treatment(20)D a $34,000 price tag and would not be covered by(21)A.Additionally,they'd have to pay for a place to(22)C while Marcie underwent treatment.
When it came time to deplane,Daniel(23)B   Marcie,and since she was unable to walk,requested a wheelchair.It was while my sister was waiting with them for the chair that she made the(24)A  that they could stay with her during their trips to Los Angeles.
Helen received a call from Daniel the following week saying that he and Marcie had(25)Dit over and they would like to take her up on her(26)C offer.They arrived the following Wednesday and left on Sunday.And this(27)Acontinued for several months.What(28)B-what plan-had brought the three of them together and then compelled her to invite them into her home?Whatever the case,she knew that she had done exactly as she was supposed to.
