本文是一篇说明文，主要论述了如果想要成为一个好的读者，需要根据不同的文章类型运用不同的阅读速度来进行阅读。

【1】词义猜测题。根据“whether to read rapidly or slowly和Some things should be read rapidly throughout以及In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along.”可知，本文主要涉及的是阅读的速度，所以划线词意为速度。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Some things should be read slowly throughout…arithmetic（算数） problems, science and history books, which are full of important information.”可知，算数问题是应该慢读的。故选B。

【3】推理判断题。在文章中作者提到有些内容是要慢慢地仔细阅读，如：Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. 还有另外一些内容，如Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news letters from friends, pieces of news from local, or home-town, papers, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors. 是要迅速阅读的。所以阅读的速度要根据你所阅读的材料而确定。故选D。

【4】细节理解题。根据“Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information.”例如制作或做某事的方向、算术问题、科学和历史书，这些书中都有重要的信息。可知，当你在读对你来说很重要的东西时，慢慢读。因此选项A正确；根据“Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news letters from friends, pieces of news from local, or home-town, papers, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.”例如，简单的故事是为了娱乐，朋友的新闻信，当地或家乡的新闻，报纸，讲述发生在朋友和邻居身上的事情。可知，当你在读一些对你不重要的东西时，要快速阅读。因此选项B正确；根据“You will need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.”当你想到必须记住的重要观点时，你需要快速阅读某些页面，然后放慢阅读速度，并更加仔细地阅读。慢慢读你感兴趣的材料。而不是快速阅读你感兴趣的材料。因此选项C正确。错误的是选项D。

本题的第1小题是词义猜测题。词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，所猜测词汇可以是生词，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是人称代词的指代内容。词义猜测题主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。本题可以利用上下文语境来猜测词意。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。
