One Wednesday she found a 5 shop full of the most delightful things, with a 6 inviting anyone to walk in and look round without 7 they had to buy something. Annie hesitated a moment 8 stepping through the doorway where, almost at once, she stopped 9 before a green armchair.

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 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself ——words. Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing（退回） to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined（预先确定的） speed．The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 14 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization（默读）practically impossible. At first 15 is sacrificed for speed．But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 16 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 17 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 18 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 19 the training, now it is an excellent 1,28 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 20 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

5. A 选项 B. noisy和C. large有干扰性，但从该句的信息词found可知，应该选A：new。

12. A make somebody surprised.。B、C两项不合题意，A. jump“(因喜悦、吃惊、紧张等)跃起，跳动，剧跳”。

1． D 本句意思是“谁如果想谋得一份差事”。applying需加for, 意思是“申请”；doing做；offering提供; 此三项均不符题意，只有getting (获得)适合。
2． A 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。easily(容易地)；roughly (粗略地)；decidedly(果断地)均与原文内容不符。
3． C 英语中，阅读能力强的人称为good reader，反之，就是poor reader。
根据上下文的能力内容，多数人都属于poor reader，因此选poor(差的)。其它选项不妥。
4． B 此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成了看书慢的习惯”。因此选habits(习惯)。training (训练，培训)；situations(形势)；custom(风俗习惯)。
5． A 此处说的是“主要的困难在于语言的自身要素，即单词”。combines联合；touches接触；involves包括；这三项的词义与原文不符。而lies与in构成搭配，意为“在于”。
6． C 这里的意思是“如果单独地看这些词，它们并没有什么意义”。some有点；A lot许多；dull单调的。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词，合乎逻辑。
7． D 此句意为“然而遗憾的是未受过阅读训练的人就不会意群”。Fortunately幸运地；In fact事实上；Logically合乎逻辑地,均不妥。Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句义。
8． B 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。
9． A what引导宾语从句。
10． C scales down按比例减少；cuts down削减；此两项不合题意。measures不能与down搭配。只有slow与down搭配的意思“放慢, 减速”，在此合适。
11． B one 指 “任何人”。
12． A 此句意为“训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关”，因此选accelerator (快读器)。actor演员；amplifier放大器；observer观察者。
13． D 前面的faster决定了应当选than，构成比较级。
14． C make… impossible (使…不可能)。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”。
15． B 这里的意思是“速读最初会影响理解”，所以选comprehension(理解力)。meaning意义，意思，指词或词组表示的意义；gist大意，要旨；regression回顾。
16． A 与前半句中的not only相呼应，构成句式“不仅……，而且……”，只有选but。
17． C 本句中的主语是第三人称复数，物主代词必然是their。
18． B take与后面的for instance构成短语，意为：“以……例”，其它三项不能构成搭配。
19． D 这里把受训之前与受训之后的阅读速度进行对比，因此选before。
20． D 此处意为：在较短时间内，读完众多的材料。master掌握；go over复习；present呈现，展现；此三项均不妥只有get through (读完)最恰当。

On Wednesday afternoon Annie took the bus into town to shop in the market. For an hour or so she would walk up and down between the stalls looking at everything, buying here and there, and 1 a sharp lookout for the bargains that were something to be had. And then, with all the 2 she needs bought she would leave the market for the 3 of the town to spend another hour 4 she liked best, looking in furniture-shop windows.
One Wednesday she found a 5 shop full of the most delightful things, with a 6 inviting anyone to walk in and look round without 7 they had to buy something. Annie hesitated a moment 8 stepping through the doorway where, almost at once, she stopped 9 before a green armchair. There was a card on the chair which 10 ,“This fine chair is yours for less than a pound a week,” and very small at the bottom, “Cash price eighty-nine pounds fifty.” A pound a week …Why, she could almost pay that out of her housekeeping money and never 11 it!
A voice at her shoulder made her 12 .“Can I help you, Madam ” She looked 13 at the assistant who had come softly to her 14
“Oh, well, no,” she said, “I was just 15 .”
“We have chairs of all kinds in the 16 . If you'll just come up, you will find something to 17 you.”

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 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself ——words. Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing（退回） to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined（预先确定的） speed．The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 14 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization（默读）practically impossible. At first 15 is sacrificed for speed．But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 16 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 17 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 18 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 19 the training, now it is an excellent 1,28 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 20 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

There are six 5 in analyzing a problem.
6 the person must recognize that these is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 7 that there is a problem with the bicycle.
Next, the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 8 the parts that are wrong.

In the end, one 15 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 16 idea comes quite 17 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a different way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum (口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.
Finally the solution is 20 . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

1． D 本句意思是“谁如果想谋得一份差事”。applying需加for, 意思是“申请”；doing做；offering提供; 此三项均不符题意，只有getting (获得)适合。
2． A 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。easily(容易地)；roughly (粗略地)；decidedly(果断地)均与原文内容不符。
3． C 英语中，阅读能力强的人称为good reader，反之，就是poor reader。
根据上下文的能力内容，多数人都属于poor reader，因此选poor(差的)。其它选项不妥。
4． B 此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成了看书慢的习惯”。因此选habits(习惯)。training (训练，培训)；situations(形势)；custom(风俗习惯)。

6． C 这里的意思是“如果单独地看这些词，它们并没有什么意义”。some有点；A lot许多；dull单调的。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词，合乎逻辑。

10． C scales down按比例减少；cuts down削减；此两项不合题意。measures不能与down搭配。只有slow与down搭配的意思“放慢, 减速”，在此合适。
11． B one 指 “任何人”。
12． A 此句意为“训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关”，因此选accelerator (快读器)。actor演员；amplifier放大器；observer观察者。

14． C make… impossible (使…不可能)。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”。
15． B 这里的意思是“速读最初会影响理解”，所以选comprehension(理解力)。meaning意义，意思，指词或词组表示的意义；gist大意，要旨；regression回顾。
16． A 与前半句中的not only相呼应，构成句式“不仅……，而且……”，只有选but。
17． C 本句中的主语是第三人称复数，物主代词必然是their。
18． B take与后面的for instance构成短语，意为：“以……例”，其它三项不能构成搭配。
19． D 这里把受训之前与受训之后的阅读速度进行对比，因此选before。
20． D 此处意为：在较短时间内，读完众多的材料。master掌握；go over复习；present呈现，展现；此三项均不妥只有get through (读完)最恰当。
