Ⅰ.詞匯與結構
1.B【解析】上文的Go with me and have a taste, okay?是向對方發出邀請。而對別人的邀請，肯定的回答應該是B項;如果是否定的回答，則用"Sorry, but..."。

3.D【解析】You'd better (not) do sth.是常見搭配，排除B、C。mean to do打算做;mean doing意味著做。末句應該用動名詞，故選D。

8.A【解析】all the best (in...) 表示對別人的祝賀。
9.A【解析】句意為：你所告訴我的是真的嗎?考查名詞性從句。主句中缺主語，同時從句中缺賓語，從句該用what引導。

11.B【解析】考查such a+可數名詞單數+that...結構。
12.D【解析】前句缺主語，應用名詞success;后句缺謂語，用動詞succeeded。
13.A【解析】句意：拋開價錢不說，這頂帽子不適合我。
14.B【解析】"丟書"的動作發生在"認為"的動作之前，B正確。

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words.In( 16 )a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend( 17 )can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are( 18 )readers.Most of us develop poor reading( 19 )at an early age, and never get over them.The main deficiency( 20 )in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually, words have( 21 )meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.( 22 ), however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to( 23 )words or passages.Regression, the tendency to look back over( 24 )you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which( 25 )down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as( 26 )reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an( 27 ), which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate( 28 )the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,( 29 )word by word reading, regression and subvocalization practically impossible.At first( 30 )is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster,( 31 )your comprehension will improve.Many people have found( 32 )reading skill drastically improved after some training.( 33 )Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance.His reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute( 34 )the training;now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.He is delighted that how he can( 35 )a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

【答案解析】
Ⅱ.完形填空
16.D【解析】applying意思是"申請"，后面可接for a job。只有D項getting(獲得)符合題意。
17.A【解析】本句意為：快速閱讀與理解的能力……只有quickly與原意吻合。easily(容易地)，roughly (粗略地)，decidedly(果斷地)，均與原文內容不符。
18.C【解析】英語中，閱讀速度快的人稱為good reader，反之，就是poor reader。根據上下文的內容，多數人都屬于poor reader，因此選poor(差的)。其他選項不妥。
19.B【解析】habits習慣;training訓練，培訓;situations形勢;custom風俗習慣。
20.A【解析】combines聯合，touches接觸，involves包括，這三項與原文不符。而lies與in搭配，意為"在于"。
21.C【解析】some有點，a lot許多，dull單調的，此三項不合題意。只有little(很少)是否定詞，合乎邏輯。
22.D【解析】在這里，作者對未受過閱讀訓練的人的不良習慣感到遺憾。Fortunately幸運地;In fact事實上;Logically合乎邏輯地。Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句意。
23.B【解析】此處表示"在閱讀時經常反復讀"，因此，選reread重讀。reuse再使用;rewrite改寫;recite背誦。
24.A【解析】此處所填的詞是you have just read的賓語，用what。
25.C【解析】scales down按比例減少;cuts down削減;此兩項不合題意。measures不能與down搭配。只有slow與down搭配的意思"放慢"，在此合適。
26.B【解析】本段前文已經出現you，在此選one泛指某個人。
27.A【解析】訓練快速閱讀所使用的工具必然與提高閱讀速度有關，因此選accelerator (快讀器)。
28.D【解析】前面的faster決定了應當選than，構成比較級。
29.C【解析】快速閱讀器迫使閱讀者加快閱讀速度，再也不能逐字閱讀，退回閱讀或者默讀。只有making (使，使得)最合適。
30.B【解析】這里的意思是"速度最初會影響理解"，所以選comprehension(理解力)。
31.A【解析】與前半句中的not only相呼應，構成句式"不僅……而且……"，只有選but。
32.C【解析】本句中的主語是第三人稱復數，物主代詞必然是their。
33.B【解析】take...for instance為固定短語，意為："以……為例"。
34.D【解析】這里拿受訓之前與受訓之后進行比較，因此選before。
35.D【解析】此處意為：在較短時間內，讀完更多的閱讀材料。只有get through (讀完)最恰當。
