Question

【題目】B

If you are reading this article in class, you are probably trying to read it quickly. You have been taught to skim a scan, to look for key words so as to understand the main idea of the article and the important points in the article .Skimming and scanning is a good strategy when you are pressed for time, such as when you are taking an exam, but today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.

In response to this, something called the" slow reading movement" has become popular. The idea is that people should shut off their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes each day and enjoy the pleasure reading a good book – slowly! In many cities there are even slow reading clubs where members go to a cafe, not discuss books, but to sit quietly with each other, drink coffee and just read.

Researchers have found that reading slowly, especially books of fiction, helps people concentrate, relax and think about what they are reading. It also helps people empathize. This last point is important. When you read a novel slowly ,you get to understand the characters' emotions and to see the world through their eyes.

Reading, of course, isn't easy. You have to sit still, for one thing. And it can seem boring when compared to the excitement of playing video games. But, for me, reading has been an enduring pleasure in my life. From the age of ten, when I got my first library card, I've enjoyed the company of pirates and heroes, of evil criminals and clever detectives, of thousands of interesting people I would have never met in real life. Reading provided me with escape, but it also enabled me to understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls.

In your classroom, you have learned to read " fast". Outside of the classroom, you should try to learn to read " slowly . You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

試題分析: 本文主要內(nèi)容雖然快速閱讀可以幫助我們迅速獲取信息，但慢速閱讀卻可以讓我們享受閱讀。

【長(zhǎng)難句解讀】

(1) Skimming and scanning is a good strategy when you are pressed for time, such as when you are taking an exam, but, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.

分析：句中的兩個(gè)when都引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，句首的Skimming and scanning作主語(yǔ)。

譯文：當(dāng)你時(shí)間緊迫，比如你參加考試的時(shí)候，略讀和快讀是一個(gè)好方法，但是現(xiàn)在，很多人略讀和快讀一切，他們已經(jīng)喪失了享受閱讀的能力。

(2) Researchers have found that reading slowly, especially books of fiction, helps people concentrate, relax and think about what they are reading.

分析：句中的especially books of fiction是reading的賓諳。what they are reading為名詞性從句，作think about的賓語(yǔ)。

譯文：研究者已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)慢速閱讀，尤其是慢速閱讀小說(shuō)幫助人們集中注意力，放松和思考他們正在閱讀的東西。

【1】C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解;由文章第一段最后一句Skimming and scanning is a good strategy when you are pressed for time, such as when you are taking an exam可知，在參加考試時(shí)，快速閱讀是一個(gè)好的策略。

【2】D考查推理判斷。綜合文章第二、三段可知，慢速閱讀能使人享受閱讀的樂(lè)趣，能使人放松，能更好地讓人去理解文章中人物的情感，但不會(huì)使人快速獲得文章的大意．

【3】D考查推理判斷。由文章倒數(shù)第二段 It also helps people empathize. This last point is important. When you read a novel slowly ,you get to understand the characters' emotions and to see the world through their eyes.可知，作者從閱讀中了解人生百態(tài)，閱讀為他提供心靈庇護(hù)，閱讀助他洞察肚界，總之，他從閱讀中獲益匪淺。

【4】B考查推理判斷．作者根據(jù)自身的閱讀經(jīng)歷將閱讀稱(chēng)之為”沒(méi)有墻壁的課堂教育”，是因?yàn)樗�通過(guò)閱讀增長(zhǎng)了知識(shí)，更好地了解世界，故B項(xiàng)正確。
