本文是一篇說明文，主要論述了如果想要成為一個好的讀者，需要根據(jù)不同的文章類型運用不同的閱讀速度來進行閱讀。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“whether to read rapidly or slowly和Some things should be read rapidly throughout以及In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along.”可知，本文主要涉及的是閱讀的速度，所以劃線詞意為速度。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容“Some things should be read slowly throughout…arithmetic（算數(shù)） problems, science and history books, which are full of important information.”可知，算數(shù)問題是應該慢讀的。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。在文章中作者提到有些內(nèi)容是要慢慢地仔細閱讀，如：Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. 還有另外一些內(nèi)容，如Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news letters from friends, pieces of news from local, or home-town, papers, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors. 是要迅速閱讀的。所以閱讀的速度要根據(jù)你所閱讀的材料而確定。故選D。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information.”例如制作或做某事的方向、算術問題、科學和歷史書，這些書中都有重要的信息。可知，當你在讀對你來說很重要的東西時，慢慢讀。因此選項A正確；根據(jù)“Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news letters from friends, pieces of news from local, or home-town, papers, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.”例如，簡單的故事是為了娛樂，朋友的新聞信，當?shù)鼗蚣亦l(xiāng)的新聞，報紙，講述發(fā)生在朋友和鄰居身上的事情�？芍�，當你在讀一些對你不重要的東西時，要快速閱讀。因此選項B正確；根據(jù)“You will need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.”當你想到必須記住的重要觀點時，你需要快速閱讀某些頁面，然后放慢閱讀速度，并更加仔細地閱讀。慢慢讀你感興趣的材料。而不是快速閱讀你感興趣的材料。因此選項C正確。錯誤的是選項D。

本題的第1小題是詞義猜測題。詞義猜測題是閱讀理解中常見的一種題型，所猜測詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內(nèi)容。詞義猜測題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測詞義和語義的能力，突出考查對語境的分析和把握能力。本題可以利用上下文語境來猜測詞意。猜測任何詞義都離不開上下文，所以要借助上下文對需要猜測的詞或短語進行合乎邏輯的推測。
