Question

Because of poor childhood reading habits,most people read up to 10  times slower than they actually could. 1       But,by employing certain basic techniques along with some consistent practice,your reading speed and accuracy will increase without taking away from your overall reading comfort.

1. Identify why you're reading.

Before you start reading,you need to seek out your motivation. 2       Think about why you're reading the book in front of you. Is it for fun? A job? School? Your reasoning will help you find the right frame of mind for the task and aid in absorbing the information more efficiently.

2. Narrow down on the important parts.

3          A good speedreader is also smart. Learn to read selectively and change speeds. Think back to your initial reading goals. If you know which topics are essential,don't be afraid to slow down during the important areas to maximize your retention (i己个乙力) . 4       Don't let an unimportant paragraph get the best of you.

3. Use a guide.

Training your eyes to pick up the reading pace and maintain it is the final step. Naturally,the eyes tend to pause or drift from the page―even for a split second―during regular reading. In reading an entire book,the amount of time lost can be significant. 5       The easiest way to control them is with a guide,which can be as simple as your index finger (食指) or a pen.

   A. Another thing to consider is the type of book you are going to read.

   B. In that case,find a book and a quiet place to read.

   C. We can't expect an average reader to become a "speedreader" overnight.

   D. So it's critical to keep the eyes on the page.

   E. Conversely,you should also be ready to skip paragraphs and unnecessary words.

   F. Don't try to read through each page at top speed.

   G. Why you read is essential for deciding how fast to read.

Answer 1

如何有效提高阅读速度？作者就这一问题提出了三点建议。

1. c考查顺承关系。后文提到"但是我们可以通过应用技巧和练习来提高阅读速度"，从逻辑上可以推断，这里的意思是我们不能期望一个寻常的阅读者在一夜之间成为阅读高手。

2. G考查递进关系。这里突出的是"阅读目的至关重要"这一思想，后文也列举出了阅读的种种不同的目的。

3. F考查顺承关系。后文提到"好的阅读者应张弛有度"，那作者在这段的开头自然就要提醒读者不能以最快速度从头读到尾。

4. E考查顺承关系。前文说碰到重要篇幅的时候，要停下来细细看;那后文自然会说碰到不重要的篇幅时该如何。

5. D考查递进关系。前文说阅读时眼睛会经常不自觉地移开文本，所以使眼睛留在文本上是很重要的。
