参考答案
正确答案:A
参考译文几乎所有的“快速阅读”课程都有“计划进度”这一部分—一指设定时间以使学生知道自己每分钟看了多少字.你自己也可以做到这点,只需要每隔5分钟或10分钟看一下手表,然后记下你读到的页码.查一下你所读的书平均每页有多少字.在你忙于看书的时候怎么知道5分钟已经过去了呢?开始是很难.你可以叫一个朋友在设定的时间提醒你,有些公共大钟每到整刻都会敲响,你可在能够听到钟声的范围内看书.每三、四天给自己定一个“进度计划”,每次都看同种类的通俗易懂的书.你很快会发现自己惯常的字/每分钟速率在不断上升.显然,如果你不明白自己在读什么的话,提高阅读速度也就没有意义.当你有意识地试着提高阅读速度的时候,读完一章(如果你读的是小说),一节或者10到20页(如果你读的是课本)停下来问自己几个关于所读内容的问题.如果你发现自己已经忘记了故事的主线或者不能清楚记得细节,那么把这一章或这一节再读一遍.你还可以时不时地尝试一下“闪电速度”练习.在你正在看的符合大众趣味的书中选四或五页来看,能看多快就看多快.不要在乎是否看得懂.现在回过头去以你认为“正常”的速度来看那几页书,也就是以你能易于看懂的速度.在一次“闪电速度”阅读之后(大概每分钟600字),你通常会发现你的“正常速度”提高了——可能每分钟要提高50-100字.运动员们也是用这种方法,他们通常在训练的时候跑的比参加大赛时跑的距离要远一些51.A【精析】释义题.本题答案可由文章第一句话得出.破折号后面的句子解释了pacingdevice是用来测试学生阅读速度的.故选A.
