　　5. the willingness to try new techniques
　　6. vocabulary and comprehension skills
　　7. an increase in comprehension
　　8. a total improvement of the whole reading process
　　9. inability to concentrate
　　10. uses the same reading rate

　　答案解析：
　　1.由“Improvement of Reading Rate”部分第二段“The average college student reads between 250 and 350 words per minute on fiction and non-technical materials.A“good” reading speed is around 500 to 700 words per minute，but some people can read 1000 words per minute or more on these materials.”可見閱讀速度快的人，每分鐘可閱讀500到700詞。故此句判斷為NO。
　　2.由“Factors that Reduce Reading Rate”部分第11點“The effort to remember everything rather than to remember selectively.”可見閱讀過程中試圖記住所有閱讀內容會影響閱讀的速度。故此句判斷為YES。
　　3.由“Rate Adjustment”部分第一句“Poor results are inevitable if the reader attempts to use the same rate for all types of material and for all reading purposes.”可知如果無視閱讀材料的類型和不同的閱讀目的而用同一種速度來閱讀，結果肯定是不理想的。因此，作者顯然不會建議用同一種閱讀速度來閱讀不同類型的材料，應對不同的閱讀目的。故此句判斷NO。
　　4.文章只在“Rate Adjustment”部分提到閱讀者的知識問題。由這部分第四段的第一、二句：“The nature and difficulty of the material also calls for adjustments in rate. Obviously， level of difficulty depends greatly on the particular reader's knowledge.”可知閱讀材料的難易影響閱湊速度的調節。而材料的難易往往取決于閱讀者的知識水平。因此，閱讀者的知識影響他對材料的閱讀。但是否一定“有知識的人閱讀速度快”，作者并沒有明確指出。故此句判斷為NOT GIVEN。
　　5.由“Improvement of Reading Rate”部分第三段中的“There are three main factors involved in improving reading speed;(1)the desire to improve，(2)the willingness to try new techniques and(3) the motivation to practice.”可知要提高閱讀速度，閱讀者必須有提高閱讀的愿望，愿意嘗試新的技巧并且有進行訓練的動機。故本題的正確答案為“the willingness to try new techniques”。
　　6.由“Improvement of Reading Rate”部分第四段第一句“Learning to read rapidly and well presupposes that you have the necessary vocabulary and comprehension skills.”可知要提高閱讀速度和質量的前提是你必須有必要的詞匯量和閱讀技巧。故此題答案為“vocabulary and comprehension skills”。
　　7.由“The Role of Speed in the Reading Process”部分第一段“Research shows a close relation between speed and understanding—although it is the opposite of what you might expect! Among thousands of individuals taking reading training，in most cases an increase in rate was accompanied by an increase in comprehension and a decrease in rate brought decreased comprehension with it.”可知研究表明，和人們預計的不一樣，閱讀速度的增加并不以犧牲理解為代價。相反，提高速度也會提高理解。故本題正確答案為“an increase in comprehension”。
　　8.由“Factors that Reduce Reading Rate”部分最后一段“This is entirely different from simply speeding up the rate of reading--which may actually make the real reading problem more severe.In addition，forced acceleration may destroy confidence in one's ability to read. The obvious solution，then，is to increase rate as a part of a total improvement of the whole reading process，as special training programs in reading do.”可知如果僅僅強迫自己提高閱讀速度，反而會使閱讀問題更加嚴重，會打擊自己在閱讀能力方面的信心。所以提高速度只是改善整個閱讀進程的一個部分。故正確答案為“a total improvement of the whole reading process”。
　　9.由“Basic Conditions for Increasing Reading Rate”部分第四段中的“Furthermore，the slowest reader usually regresses most frequently.Because he reads slowly，his mind has time to wander and his rereading reflects both his inability to concentrate and his lack of confidence in his comprehension skills.”可見閱讀速度最慢的讀者，回讀的頻率也最高。由于讀得慢，他也容易開小差。而回讀也反映出他缺乏集中注意力的能力并對自己的閱讀技巧缺乏信心。故此題正確答案為“inability to concentrate”。
　　10.由“Rate Adjustment”部分第一段“Poor results are inevitable if the reader attempts to use the same rate for all types of material and for all reading purposes，He must learn to adjust his rate to his purpose in reading and to the difficulty of the material...The effective reader adjusts his rate;the ineffective reader always uses the same.”可見效率高的閱讀者會根據閱讀的目的和閱讀材料的難易調整閱讀速度。而效率低的閱讀者往往用同樣的速度應對所有的閱讀目的和閱讀材料。故此題正確答案是“uses the same reading rate”。
