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 (1) -- a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend (2) -- can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are (3) -- readers. Most of us develop poor reading (4) -- at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency (5) -- in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have (6) -- meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. (7) --, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to (8) -- words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over (9) -- you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which (10) -- down the speed of reading is vocalization - sounding each word either orally or mentally as (11) -- reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an (12), which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate (13) -- the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch”him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, (14) -- word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first (15) -- is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, (16) -- your comprehension will improve. Many people have found (17) -- reading skill drastically improved after some training. (18) -- Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute (19) -- the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can (20) -- a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

Cloze Test 4
1.D 【解析】本句意思是“谁如果想谋得一份差事”。applying需加for,意思是“申请”;B.doing做;C.offering提供此三项均不符题意， 只有D.getting(获得)适合。
2.A 【解析】本句意为“快速阅读与理解的能力，是关系到成败的关键所在”只有quickly与原意吻合。easily(容易地);roughly (粗略地); decidedly(果断地)均与原文内容不符。
3.C 【解析】英语中，阅读速度快的人称为good reader，反之，就是poor reader。根据上下文的内容，多数人都属于poor reader，因此选poor(差的)。其它选项不妥。
4.B 【解析】此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成看书慢的习惯”因此选habits(习惯)。training (训练，培训);situations(形势);custom(风俗习惯)。
5.A 【解析】此处说的是“主要的困难在于语言的自身要素，即单词”。combines联合;touches接触;involves包括，这三项的词义与原文不符。而lies与in构成搭配，意为“在于”。
6.C 【解析】这里的意思是“如果单个地看这些字，它们并没有什么意义”。some有点;A lot许多;dull单调的。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词，合乎逻辑。
7.D【解析】此句意为“作者对未受过阅读训练的人的不良习惯感到遗憾”。Fortunately幸运地;In fact事实上;Logically合乎逻辑地,均不妥。Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句义。
8.B 【解析】此句意为“在阅读时经常重读(反复读)”因此，选reread重读。reuse再使用;Rewrite改写;recite背诵。
9.A 【解析】此处所填的词既是look back over的宾语，又是you have just read的'宾语，只有what能充当这种双重成分。
10.C 【解析】scales down按比例减少;cuts down削减;此两项不合题意。measures不能与down搭配。只有slow与down搭配的意思“放慢”，在此合适。
11.B 【解析】本段前文已经出现you，在此选one(泛指人们，我们，你)来代替you。some one无此用法。如果用reader，前面应加定冠词。he不能与该段逻辑一致。
12.A 【解析】此句意为“训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关”，因此选accelerator (快读器)。actor演员;amplifier放大器;observer观察者。
13.D 【解析】前面的faster决定了应当选than，构成比较级。
14.C 【解析】此句意为“快速阅读器迫使你加快阅读速度，使你再也不能逐字阅读，回顾前文内容或者默读”。enabling相当于making possible;leading引导;indicating指出，表明。都不合题意。只有making (使，使得)最合适。
15.B 【解析】这里的意思是“速读最初会影响理解”，所以选comprehension(理解力)。meaning意义，意思，指词或词组表示的意义;gist大意，要旨regression回顾
16.A 【解析】与前半句中的not only相呼应，构成句式“不仅……，而且……”，只有选but，而nor;or或for均不能构成固定用法。
17.C 【解析】本句中的主语是第三人称复数，物主代词必然是their。
18.B 【解析】take与后面的for instance构成短语，意为：“以……例”，其它三项不能构成搭配。
19.D 【解析】这里提到受训之前与受训之后进行比较,对比，因此选before。
20.D 【解析】此处意为：在较短时间内，读完众多的材料。master掌握;go over复习;present呈现，展现;三项均不妥;只有get through (读完)最恰当。
