Some people claim that it’s possible. In July last year, the sixtime speed reading champion Anne Jones sat down to read Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman. Just 25 minutes and 31 seconds later, she finished it—which equals a reading rate of around 3，700 words per minute. Jones runs training courses teaching speed reading, recall and concentration techniques and there are numerous speed reading apps that have appeared on the market over the past few years. But do they actually work?‎ First, we need to understand how we read. The human eye movement system is central to our reading ability. Read over that sentence again, and think about how your eyes scan across the words. They don’t move smoothly over them. Instead, they make a series of short, sharp jumps, skipping over a few characters before briefly landing on a word. The movements are known as saccades(扫视) and the pauses are called fixations.‎ Reading isn’t just about seeing the words—you need to comprehend them to build up a picture about what the text means. People are able to get through a block of text faster, but at the cost of accuracy and understanding. In other words, if you use a speed reading app, then you’ll probably get the gist(主旨) of a piece of text, but you’ll struggle to recall details about what you’ve just read.‎ So, does speed reading work? Well, yes and no. It really depends on what you’re reading and why you need to read it. As yet, there isn’t a trick that enables you to read a piece of text both quickly and accurately—there’s always going to be a tradeoff．‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了快速阅读有一定作用。快速阅读虽然能把握文章的主旨，但是回忆细节还需要时间。‎ 22‎ ‎1．What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A．Speed reading is bad at times.‎ B．Speed reading is a waste of time.‎ C．Speed reading can work sometimes.‎ D．Speed reading is always enjoyable.‎ C　解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段尾句“But do they actually work？”可知，文章第一段对快速阅读是否有用提出疑问；接着第二段介绍了阅读能力与眼睛运动系统有关，结合第三段尾句可知，使用速读应用程序你很可能把握主旨大意，但是文章细节不一定能掌握。据此可推知，快速阅读有时是有用的，故C项正确。‎ ‎2．What can we know from the passage?‎ A．Reading apps ensure we read much faster.‎ B．Fast reading makes us learn more knowledge.‎ C．Reading is no more than seeing the text words.‎ D．Reading ability is related to the eye movement system.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The human eye movement system is central to our reading ability.”可知，人的眼睛运动系统对我们的阅读能力很重要，故D项正确。‎ ‎3．What does the underlined word “tradeoff” most probably mean in the last paragraph?‎ A．Balance. B．Change.‎ C．Business. D．Bargain.‎ A　解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段尾句“As yet, there isn’t a trick that enables you to read a piece of text both quickly and accurately—there’s always going to be a tradeoff．”可知，到目前为止，还没有一种技巧可以让你既快速又准确地阅读一篇文章——这总要一种平衡。据此可推知，画线词意为“平衡”，故A项正确。‎ ‎4．What might the writer continue to talk about?‎ A．The advantages of faster or slower reading.‎ B．The reasons why we do faster or slower reading.‎ C．The cases where to do faster and slower reading.‎ D．The methods for making use of faster or slower reading.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段尾句“As yet, there isn’t a trick that enables you to read a piece of text both quickly and accurately—there’s always going to be a tradeoff.”可知，到目前为止，还没有一种技巧可以让你既快速又准确地阅读一篇文章——这总要一种平衡。据此可推知，文章接下来可能阐述在什么情况下进行速读以及在什么情况下进行慢读，故C项正确。‎ 22‎ ‎【难句分析】　Jones runs training courses teaching speed reading, recall and concentration techniques and there are numerous speed reading apps that have appeared on the market over the past few years.‎ 分析：该句由and连接的两个分句构成，其中第二个分句为主从复合句，句中“that have appeared on the market over the past few years”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“speed reading apps”， that在从句中作主语。‎ 译文：琼斯开设了速读、记忆力和集中注意力技巧的培训课程，且在过去几年中市场上出现了大量的速读应用程序。‎ B ‎(2020·沈阳监测一)Language learning apps are very popular now and offer opportunities to learn vocabulary and practice grammar. But there has been a discussion about just how effective such apps can be.‎ Among the most popular apps are Duolingo and Busuu. Previous research found positive results on the use of them. But these apps mainly concentrated on study with learners who had signed up for language courses and they only worked as afterschool support, so the results were not always reliable. A recent study of 4，095 Busuu users has been carried out aimed to find out if users can actually learn a language with an app.‎ Busuu provides learning materials for 12 different languages. It offers a special model where some content is available for free while some content is not. We find that its users are an even mix of men and women. More than half consider themselves to be at the beginner level as there is a decrease in users as their language levels go up. Most people use the app because of personal interest, or because they want to study or live abroad. Female users tend to use it less often but for longer periods of time than male users.‎ Getting any feedback on Busuu depends on whether your answer is correct or not. While it is helpful, this is not the sort of feedback language teachers prefer, as it does not explain why the answer is right or wrong. In spite of this, feedback in the app is very highly rated.‎ More than 92% of respondents state that the app has met their expectations and 86% rate the app very highly. In fact, more than 80% of the users surveyed strongly agree that using the app has helped them improve their knowledge of the language they are learning.‎ 22‎ Besides, language learning apps also create an environment where mistakes are only known to the users, and this can address the performance anxiety that many learners suffer from when asked to speak a foreign language. So language teachers should encourage their students to use them to do the grammar work, leaving precious class time for more language communication.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了语言学习应用程序的功能和作用。‎ ‎5．The results of the former research weren’t always dependable because ________．‎ A．it was only carried out before class B．it didn’t consider users in class C．it just focused on positive rusults D．it used outofdate methods B　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“But these apps mainly concentrated on study with learners who had signed up for language courses and they only worked as afterschool support, so the results were not always reliable.”，并结合该段其他内容可知，这些应用程序主要关注已报名参加语言课程的学习者的学习，并且它们仅作为课后学习的补充。由此可推知，它并没有将课堂上的使用者考虑在内，所以这些研究结果并不总是可靠的，故B项正确。‎ ‎6．What can we learn about the app Busuu from the text?‎ A．All the content is free to use.‎ B．Most users consider it satisfying.‎ C．It’s used by more advanced learners.‎ D．It’s more popular with female learners.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据第五段的内容可知，回复调查的人中，超过92%认为这款应用程序已经达到了他们的预期，86%对这款应用程序评价很高，在被调查的用户中，超过80%的用户强烈赞同使用这款应用程序帮助他们增加了对正在学习的语言的了解。据此可推知，大部分用户认为这款应用程序是令人满意的，故B项正确。‎ ‎7．What does the underlined word “address” probably mean in the last paragraph?‎ A．Deal with.

If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.‎ What are minors and double majors?‎ If one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 5.________ A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields.
