本文針對如何提高閱讀速度提出了5種建議與方法。

【1】句意：只讀一個(gè)語段的第一句話。A“單詞”；B“句子”；C“文章”根據(jù)后文he or she will…each paragraph with a key sentence. 可知每一段都會以一個(gè)主旨句開始，故應(yīng)讀第一個(gè)句子，而非單詞或文章，故選B。

【2】句意：如果是一名優(yōu)秀的作者，他或她通常都會以一個(gè)主旨句開始每一個(gè)段落。A“開始”；B“分享”；C“連接”，begin…with…為固定短語“以…開始”，由于主旨句是包含在段落當(dāng)中，故C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，B項(xiàng)不符合語境，故選A。

【3】通過閱讀第一句話，你可以判斷段落里面是否有你需要知道的信息。A“盡管”，B、C項(xiàng)均表示是否，都可以引導(dǎo)賓語從句。由于本句句尾有or not，whether or not構(gòu)成固定短語“是否”，故只能選B項(xiàng)。

【4】句意：如果你讀文學(xué)作品，這種方式仍然起作用。A“增加”；B“改善”；C項(xiàng)本意為“工作”，此處意為“使產(chǎn)生效果、使起作用”；前文說明每段都會以一個(gè)主旨句開頭，閱讀文學(xué)作品也是一樣，分析語境，故選C項(xiàng)。

【5】句意：當(dāng)文學(xué)作品中的語言足夠好時(shí)，我會選擇去讀每一個(gè)詞。選項(xiàng)中enough可以作形容詞也可以作副詞，作形容詞時(shí)修飾名詞通常置于名詞之前，如：enough money；作副詞時(shí)必須置于形容詞之后，如good enough，結(jié)合語境，文章精彩才會有人去細(xì)細(xì)品讀每個(gè)詞，故選A項(xiàng)。

【6】句意：一個(gè)段落的最后一句話也包含關(guān)于重要細(xì)節(jié)的信息。A“發(fā)現(xiàn)”；B“分享”；C“包含”根據(jù)后文A last sentence often serves two functions—it sums up the thought expressed and provides a connection to the next paragraph. 可知每段的最后一句話通常是對上一段的總結(jié)，又起到連接下文的作用，即包含重要細(xì)節(jié)信息。故本題選C。

【7】句意：當(dāng)你已經(jīng)瀏覽了段落的第一句和最后一句，并且確定段落是值得閱讀的，你仍然不需要讀每一個(gè)單詞。A“寫作”；B“說”；C“閱讀”本文強(qiáng)調(diào)的是閱讀策略，結(jié)合語境可知應(yīng)選C項(xiàng)。

【8】句意：在每一行上快速移動你的眼睛，尋找短語與關(guān)鍵詞。A“關(guān)系”；B“尋找”；C“感謝”。根據(jù)小標(biāo)題可知本段的策略是讀詞組，故快速瀏覽尋找關(guān)鍵詞，故選B。

【9】句意：你最知道它們。A“它”；B“它們”；C“他們的”結(jié)合前文句意Ignore the little words like it，to，a，an，and，be. 可知閱讀時(shí)忽略to, a, an等詞，因?yàn)檫@些詞簡單，你是最了解它們的詞義的，故選復(fù)數(shù)的代詞them。

【10】句意：僅僅花費(fèi)多一點(diǎn)的時(shí)間在這些關(guān)鍵詞周圍的細(xì)節(jié)上。A項(xiàng)意為“稍微；一點(diǎn)”可用于修飾不可數(shù)名詞及形容詞的原級和比較級。B項(xiàng)a few意為“有一些”，修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)；C項(xiàng)意為“一對，一雙”。句中more time中的more為much的比較級形式，選項(xiàng)中只有a little可以修飾形容詞的比較級，故選A。
