ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and toprehend reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to of the following is NOT true? visual span is a word or a group of words we see each experts began to question the efficiency of eye emphasis on the purely visual aspects is eye training will help readers in reading a continuous tune of the author in writing this article is ________A criticalB neutralC prssimisticD optimistic【答案及詳解】答案：CCCDA解題思路 C。事實細(xì)節(jié)題。第一段提到了影響視幅的因素：不同的人，不同的閱讀目的，對材料的熟悉程度，光線，疲勞。C―一組詞的長度‖不是能影響視幅的因素，是本 題的答案。C。觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。作者在第二段第二句提到，眼睛訓(xùn)練課程只注重了閱讀的視覺因素。倒數(shù)第二句書哦，閱讀要求具備理解單詞間關(guān)系的能力。因此選項C―閱讀需 要大腦的深度參與‖正確。作者沒有否定閱讀的視覺因素的必要性，但是也沒有說讀者應(yīng)該練習(xí)拓寬視幅，加快閱讀速度。所以AB兩項都不正確。作者沒有對大腦 和眼睛在閱讀過程中的重要性進(jìn)行對比，所以不選D C。作者在這句話中先是肯定了那些閱讀練習(xí)提高看單詞的能力，然后提出了有效閱讀概念。后面句中還指出，有效閱讀需要的是理解單詞間的聯(lián)系的能力。所以作者的 意思應(yīng)該是那些(訓(xùn)練眼睛的)閱讀練習(xí)對與有效的閱讀無益。B與文章相反。D句是蘊(yùn)涵其中一個意思，卻不是作者想表達(dá)的方向。D。第二段最后一句說，眼睛訓(xùn)練對于幫助讀者閱讀連貫文章無益，所以D是錯的，是本題答案。A。參考前面的結(jié)構(gòu)剖析，作者寫本文的主要目的是對那些只關(guān)注閱讀的視覺因素的閱讀能力課程進(jìn)行批判，所以答案應(yīng)該是A。英語四級閱讀理解練習(xí)題及解析(5)【閱讀練習(xí)】As is known to all, the organization and management ofwages and salaries are very speaking, the Accounts Department is __1__for calculations of pay, while the Personnel Department is interested in discussions with theemployees about a firm wants to __2__ a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firmshould decide on a __3__ of job evaluation and ways of measuring the performance of order to be __4__, that new pay structure will need agreement between TradeUnions and job evaluation, all of the requirements of each job are defined in adetailed job of thsoe requirements is given a value, usually in “points”, whichare __5__ together to give a total value for the middle and higher management, aspecial method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, theirresponsibility, and their __6__ to solve of the difficulty in measuringmanagement work, however, job grades for managers are often decided without __7__ to anevaluation system based on attempting to design a pay system, the Personnel Department should __8__ the valueof each job with these in the job , payment for a job should vary with anydifferences in the way that the job is it is simple to measure the work done,as in the works done with hands, monetary encouragement schemes are often chosen, for__10__ workers, where measurement is difficult, methods of additional payments areemployed.[A]pare[B]responsible[C]useful[D]added[E]find[F]reference[G]indirect[H]method[I]successful[J]bined[K]Necessarily[L]capacity[M]ability[N]Basically[O]adoptAnswers:)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。原文意思為―會計部門...計算報酬‖，選項中的形容詞responsible―負(fù)責(zé)任的‖，useful―有用 的‖，indirect―間接的‖，successful―成功的‖，其中indirect不能與for連用，排除。剩余幾項中只有 B)responsible意義符合原句，其他均不符合，故排除。)。此處應(yīng)填動詞原形。本文主題就是采用一種新的工資和薪水制度時需要注意的問題，選項中的動詞原形有pare―比 較‖，find―找到‖，adopt―采納‖，分別帶入原文，只有adopt最符合原文意思，故選O).)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。從原文看，and連接并列結(jié)構(gòu)，所以要填的詞應(yīng)與and后面的ways意思一致，選項中的名詞只有mathod = w
