Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。（請(qǐng)將答案涂在答題卡的1-5的位置）

There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. ___【1】___

The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. ___【2】_____ Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.

The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader’s understanding. _____【3】_____ Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “l(fā)earning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.

What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. ____【4】___ Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.

____【5】_____ It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.

A. The writer should have a better communicating skill.

B. Such communication between un equals must be possible.

C. We can get access to the content of those materials easily.

D. The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.

E. Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.

G. Besides gaining information and understanding, there’s another goal of reading—entertainment.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了閱讀的兩種不同作用以及人們可以運(yùn)用不同的閱讀材料鍛煉提高不同方面的能力。

【1】根據(jù)第二段第一句：The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else.和第三段第一句The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand.可知作者是從兩個(gè)不同的角度使用reading。故選E正確。

【2】根據(jù)下一句Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding.可知這樣的材料可以很快提高我們的信息儲(chǔ)存量，但是它們并不能改善我們的理解力。也就是說我們可以很容易抓住材料的內(nèi)容，但是對(duì)我們的理解力的提高并沒有什么好處。故選C項(xiàng)符合上下文。

【3】根據(jù)前一句The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader’s understanding.可知作者在交流一下能夠提高讀者理解力的事情。這些對(duì)讀者來說比較難的內(nèi)容是可以提高讀者的理解力的，也就是說這樣的做法是可以實(shí)現(xiàn)的。故選B。

【4】根據(jù)下句Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack.書的作者一定在理解方面高于讀者，所以他的作品才可以提高別人的理解力。故選D。

【5】根據(jù)下一句It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.可知這里想說，除了獲得信息和理解，還有另外一個(gè)閱讀目標(biāo)：娛樂。故選G。
