福建省福州市2019届高三上学期英语期末考试试卷
The information I (collect) over the last few years leads me to believe that speed reading may be less (use) than most people think. The claim that you can read and comprehend over 30,000 words per minute is overstated. One researcher proved this in a study where irrelevant and illogical sentences were added to a text. The “speed readers” were tested didn't notice the irrelevant lines — the non-speed readers spotted them immediately.
I've interviewed people who have attended the introductory sessions (offer) by some speed reading courses. (them) stories indicate that improper methods are sometimes used to sell the courses. Here's how: First, you're asked to read a passage from a book which most persons would be unfamiliar. Your reading speed and comprehension are tested during this exercise. Then, after about half hour of instruction, another reading test is given. But this time the reading is one most educated Americans know well — such as Huckleberry Finn. Not (surprising), persons attending these introductory sessions find that their “exit” speed and comprehension are better than their “entry” (perform).
I'm one of the fiction readers who appreciate the beauty in good writing. Occasionally I'll read a passage or sentence over and over just (let) the beauty of its construction soak(参透) in. Good writing must be read carefully and thoughtfully to be fully appreciated.
