试题分析：本文属于说明文，告诉我们要根据阅读的材料和内容，确定自己的阅读速度。

【1】C 猜测词义题。根据文章第二段….to know whether to read rapidly or slowly….第三段Some things should be read slowly throughout….第四段Some things should be read rapidly throughout. 和第五段In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along.可知本文主要讨论阅读速度。故该词指“速度”C正确。

【2】B 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic（算术） problems, science and history books, which are full of important information.可知算术是要慢慢读的，因为算术中有很多重要的信息。故B正确。

【3】D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句You will need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.可知有时候我们要快速阅读，有时候要慢一点。主要是根据所读的材料和内容，重要的且需要记忆的内容就慢点读，不太重要的就快点读。故D正确。

【4】D 推理判断题。根据最后一句可知有时候我们要快速阅读，有时候要慢一点。主要是根据所读的材料和内容，重要的且需要记忆的内容就慢点读，不太重要的就快点读。AB两项说法是正确的。如果遇见了自己感兴趣的内容，我们就要慢一点读，要读透，读懂。所以D项说法是错误的。
