Section B
Passage One
[26]There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to go back again. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at a great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, re-reading them several times or passing more quickly over the remainder. [27]A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Therefore, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points.
A type of reading which needs careful attention to detail is proofreading. [28]In order to detect misprints in a sample print, the reader needn't notice so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are used to ignoring such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practise this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What idea does the speaker mainly want to convey?
正確答案：D
解析：主旨題。文章開篇就提出，成年人閱讀的速度和效率是很不相同的，甚至連受過高等教育的成年人也是如此。然后從影響速度和效率的兩個因素（content與purpose）著手分析了閱讀的速度。因此D為正確答案。C與錄音首句意思相悖，故不正確；proofreading skill只在文章結尾部分提到了，只是細節而非主旨，故B不正確；文中根本就沒提及listening，所以可以輕松排除A。
27. What is typical of inefficient readers in terms of reading speed?
正確答案：B
解析：細節題。文中提到，對于低效率的讀者（less efficient readers）而言，不管是哪種閱讀材料他們閱讀的速度往往是保持不變的。因此，閱讀消遣讀物幾乎無法令他們得到快樂，因為讀得太慢。但對于嚴肅讀物而言，在難點處特別需要集中注意力，而這樣的速度又太快。由此推斷，B為正確答案。
28. What does proofreading require?
正確答案：D
解析：細節題。短文提到，為了找出印刷樣本中的打印錯誤，讀者不必過多注意讀物的意義，而應更多注意文本中文字的準確形式和順序。故D為正確答案。A具有一定的干擾性，A中的ignoring（忽視）與聽力尾句提到的paying comparatively little attention to（相對更不注意）意思不同，故A不正確；B和C與原文意思相悖。
