34、through答案及解析:1.【答案】D本句意思是“誰(shuí)如果想謀得一份差事”。applying需加for,意思是“申請(qǐng)”；B.doing做；C.offering提供此三項(xiàng)均不符題意，只有D.getting(獲得)適合。2.【答案】A本句意為“快速閱讀與理解的能力，是關(guān)系到成敗的關(guān)鍵所在”只有quickly與原意吻合。easily(容易地)；roughly (粗略地)；decidedly(果斷地)均與原文內(nèi)容不符。3.【答案】C英語(yǔ)中，閱讀速度快的人稱為good reader，反之，就是poor reader。根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容，多數(shù)人都屬于poor reader，因此選poor(差的)。其它選項(xiàng)不

35、妥。4.【答案】B此處的意思是“大多數(shù)人早期養(yǎng)成看書(shū)慢的習(xí)慣”因此選habits(習(xí)慣)。training (訓(xùn)練，培訓(xùn))；situations(形勢(shì))；custom(風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣)。5.【答案】A此處說(shuō)的是“主要困難在于語(yǔ)言的自身要素，即單詞”。combines聯(lián)合；touches接觸；involves包括，這三項(xiàng)詞義與原文不符。而lies與in構(gòu)成搭配，意為“在于”。6.【答案】C這里的意思是“如果單個(gè)地看這些字，它們并沒(méi)有什么意義”。some有點(diǎn)；A lot許多；dull單調(diào)的。此三項(xiàng)不合題意。只有l(wèi)ittle(很少)是否定詞，合乎邏輯。7.【答案】D此句意為“作者對(duì)未受過(guò)閱讀訓(xùn)練的人的不良

36、習(xí)慣感到遺憾”。Fortunately幸運(yùn)地；In fact事實(shí)上；Logically合乎邏輯地,均不妥。Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句義。8.【答案】B此句意為“在閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常重讀(反復(fù)讀)”因此，選reread重讀。reuse再使用；Rewrite改寫(xiě)；recite背誦。9.【答案】A此處所填的詞既是look back over的賓語(yǔ)，又是you have just read的賓語(yǔ)，只有what能充當(dāng)這種雙重成分。10.【答案】Cscales down按比例減少；cuts down削減；此兩項(xiàng)不合題意。measures不能與down搭配。只有slow與down搭配的意思“放慢”，

37、在此合適。11.【答案】B本段前文已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)you，在此選one(泛指人們，我們，你)來(lái)代替you。some one無(wú)此用法。如果用reader，前面應(yīng)加定冠詞。he不能與該段邏輯一致。12.【答案】A此句意為“訓(xùn)練快速閱讀所使用的工具必然與提高閱讀速度有關(guān)”，因此選accelerator (快讀器)。actor演員；amplifier放大器；observer觀察者。13.【答案】D前面的faster決定了應(yīng)當(dāng)選than，構(gòu)成比較級(jí)。14.【答案】C此句意為“快速閱讀器迫使你加快閱讀速度，使你再也不能逐字閱讀，回顧前文內(nèi)容或者默讀”。enabling相當(dāng)于making possible；lead

38、ing引導(dǎo)；indicating指出，表明。都不合題意。只有making (使，使得)最合適。15.【答案】B這里的意思是“速讀最初會(huì)影響理解”，所以選comprehension(理解力)。meaning意義，意思，指詞或詞組表示的意義；gist大意，要旨regression回顧16.【答案】A與前半句中的not only相呼應(yīng)，構(gòu)成句式“不僅，而且”，只有選but，而nor；or或for均不能構(gòu)成固定用法。17.【答案】C本句中的主語(yǔ)是第三人稱復(fù)數(shù)，物主代詞必然是their。18.【答案】Btake與后面的for instance構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)，意為：“以例”，其它三項(xiàng)不能構(gòu)成搭配。19.【答案】

39、D這里提到受訓(xùn)之前與受訓(xùn)之后進(jìn)行比較,對(duì)比，因此選before。20.【答案】D此處意為：在較短時(shí)間內(nèi)，讀完眾多的材料。master掌握；go over復(fù)習(xí)；present呈現(xiàn)，展現(xiàn)；此三項(xiàng)均不妥；只有g(shù)et through (讀完)最恰當(dāng)。Many students find the experience of attending university lectures to be a confusing and frustrating experience.The lecturer speaks for one or two hours, perhaps _1_ the talk with

40、 slides, writing up important information on the blackboard, _2_ reading material and giving out _3 _.The new student sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and _4_ what to write.Very often the student leaves the lecture _5_ notes which do not catch the main points and _6_ become

47、，散發(fā)，與下文的give out同義。3.【答案】A【解析】assignments作業(yè)，任務(wù)。4.【答案】C【解析】新生發(fā)現(xiàn)別的學(xué)生一直在記筆記,他們不知道該記些什么,所以用wonders。而suspects(懷疑)；understands (理解，明白)；convinces(讓人相信)與題意不符。5.【答案】B【解析】with結(jié)構(gòu)在此表示伴隨的結(jié)果，說(shuō)明學(xué)生聽(tīng)完講座卻記了一些抓不住重點(diǎn)的筆記。6.【答案】D【解析】這里是一個(gè)并列句，并列的兩個(gè)部分是which do not catch the main points and which become hard even for the stu
