2、xate,we see a group of words.This is known as the recognition span(跨度)or the visual(视觉)span.The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person.It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text.In addition,it can be affected by

3、 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 page.As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading,many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to se

4、e more words at one fixation.For example,in some exercises,words are flashed onto a screen for a tenth 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 formed in the shape of pyramids,so the

5、 reader takes in more and more words at each continuous fixation.All these exercises are very clever,but its one thing to improve a persons 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 betwe

6、en 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(孤立的)words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.1 1The time of the recognition span c

8、.requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation B.requires a reader to see words more quickly C.demands a deeply-participating mind D.demands more eyes than mind 答案:C 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知,阅读需要理解单词间关系的能力,所以推知作者认为阅读需要大脑去理解,故选 C 项。3 3What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in th

10、人看单词的能力是一回事,提高他有效阅读材料的能力是另一回事。由此判断,作者认为这样的训练无助于有效阅读能力的提高,故选 C项。4 4The tune of the author in writing this text is.A.criticalB.neutral C.supportive D.optimistic 3 答案:A 解析:主旨大意题。A 项意为“批评的”;B 项意为“中立的”;C 项意为“支持的”;D 项意为“乐观的”。通读全文可知,作者对现在阅读能力的培训持否定态度。B B Lucille Clifton was the first African American Poet
