阅读理解 Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time in which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text1.The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________A.the length of a group of wordsB.lighting and tirednessC.one’s familiarity with the textD.one’s purpose in reading2.The author may believe that reading ______A.demands an deeply-participating mindB.demands more mind than eyesC.requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationD.requires a reader to see words more quickly3.What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph?A.The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient readingB.The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see wordsC.The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conductedD.The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see or comprehend words4.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleadingB.The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous textC.The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each timeD.Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training5.The tune of the author in writing this article is ________A.pessimisticB.optimisticC.criticalD.neutral

AAABC解析试题分析：1..判断题。第一段It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.可知注视的持续时间长短，人与人之间是不同的，跟一个人的阅读目的、对材料的熟悉程度、光线、疲劳度均有关系。故选A2.细节题。从第二段Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training可知阅读是需要理解单词之间关系的能力，许多的专家也开始质疑那种纯粹在视觉跨度内训练接受更多单词的方法，故通过排除法选A，阅读需要一种深度理解的思维。3.推断题。从本句的句意及上下文的理解可知，提高人们看单词的能力只是一方面，它与提高人们有效阅读的能力是完全不同的。可知这些阅读练习并不能帮助提高有效的阅读能力。文中并没有讲到这些阅读练习已经对提高看单词的能力有了很大的帮助。故选A4.判断题。从最后一句可知，很多专家开始质疑这些眼力训练的无用性，尤其是因为任何训练一个人如何来阅读孤立单词和短语的方法都将视为不可能帮助他理解整个文章。可知

这个答案应该是对的
