　　5. the willingness to try new techniques
　　6. vocabulary and comprehension skills
　　7. an increase in comprehension
　　8. a total improvement of the whole reading process
　　9. inability to concentrate
　　10. uses the same reading rate

　　答案解析：
　　1.由“Improvement of Reading Rate”部分第二段“The average college student reads between 250 and 350 words per minute on fiction and non-technical materials.A“good” reading speed is around 500 to 700 words per minute，but some people can read 1000 words per minute or more on these materials.”可见阅读速度快的人，每分钟可阅读500到700词。故此句判断为NO。
　　2.由“Factors that Reduce Reading Rate”部分第11点“The effort to remember everything rather than to remember selectively.”可见阅读过程中试图记住所有阅读内容会影响阅读的速度。故此句判断为YES。
　　3.由“Rate Adjustment”部分第一句“Poor results are inevitable if the reader attempts to use the same rate for all types of material and for all reading purposes.”可知如果无视阅读材料的类型和不同的阅读目的而用同一种速度来阅读，结果肯定是不理想的。因此，作者显然不会建议用同一种阅读速度来阅读不同类型的材料，应对不同的阅读目的。故此句判断NO。
　　4.文章只在“Rate Adjustment”部分提到阅读者的知识问题。由这部分第四段的第一、二句：“The nature and difficulty of the material also calls for adjustments in rate. Obviously， level of difficulty depends greatly on the particular reader's knowledge.”可知阅读材料的难易影响阅凑速度的调节。而材料的难易往往取决于阅读者的知识水平。因此，阅读者的知识影响他对材料的阅读。但是否一定“有知识的人阅读速度快”，作者并没有明确指出。故此句判断为NOT GIVEN。
　　5.由“Improvement of Reading Rate”部分第三段中的“There are three main factors involved in improving reading speed;(1)the desire to improve，(2)the willingness to try new techniques and(3) the motivation to practice.”可知要提高阅读速度，阅读者必须有提高阅读的愿望，愿意尝试新的技巧并且有进行训练的动机。故本题的正确答案为“the willingness to try new techniques”。
　　6.由“Improvement of Reading Rate”部分第四段第一句“Learning to read rapidly and well presupposes that you have the necessary vocabulary and comprehension skills.”可知要提高阅读速度和质量的前提是你必须有必要的词汇量和阅读技巧。故此题答案为“vocabulary and comprehension skills”。
　　7.由“The Role of Speed in the Reading Process”部分第一段“Research shows a close relation between speed and understanding—although it is the opposite of what you might expect! Among thousands of individuals taking reading training，in most cases an increase in rate was accompanied by an increase in comprehension and a decrease in rate brought decreased comprehension with it.”可知研究表明，和人们预计的不一样，阅读速度的增加并不以牺牲理解为代价。相反，提高速度也会提高理解。故本题正确答案为“an increase in comprehension”。
　　8.由“Factors that Reduce Reading Rate”部分最后一段“This is entirely different from simply speeding up the rate of reading--which may actually make the real reading problem more severe.In addition，forced acceleration may destroy confidence in one's ability to read. The obvious solution，then，is to increase rate as a part of a total improvement of the whole reading process，as special training programs in reading do.”可知如果仅仅强迫自己提高阅读速度，反而会使阅读问题更加严重，会打击自己在阅读能力方面的信心。所以提高速度只是改善整个阅读进程的一个部分。故正确答案为“a total improvement of the whole reading process”。
　　9.由“Basic Conditions for Increasing Reading Rate”部分第四段中的“Furthermore，the slowest reader usually regresses most frequently.Because he reads slowly，his mind has time to wander and his rereading reflects both his inability to concentrate and his lack of confidence in his comprehension skills.”可见阅读速度最慢的读者，回读的频率也最高。由于读得慢，他也容易开小差。而回读也反映出他缺乏集中注意力的能力并对自己的阅读技巧缺乏信心。故此题正确答案为“inability to concentrate”。
　　10.由“Rate Adjustment”部分第一段“Poor results are inevitable if the reader attempts to use the same rate for all types of material and for all reading purposes，He must learn to adjust his rate to his purpose in reading and to the difficulty of the material...The effective reader adjusts his rate;the ineffective reader always uses the same.”可见效率高的阅读者会根据阅读的目的和阅读材料的难易调整阅读速度。而效率低的阅读者往往用同样的速度应对所有的阅读目的和阅读材料。故此题正确答案是“uses the same reading rate”。
