Question

2．In the Internet age，speed reading is a necessary and important skill．We skim over articles and e-mails to try to get key words and the main idea of the text．With so much information through our electronic devices （電子設備），it would be impossible to get through everything if we read word by word，line by line．However，a new trend calls on people to enjoy reading slowly．
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington，New Zealand，where members meet in a café and turn off their smartphones．They sit back in comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour．
Unlike typical book clubs，the point of the slow reading club isn't to exchange ideas about certain books，but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet，relaxed environment．According to the story，the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the traditional way of reading．
Traditional readers，like Maura Kelly，say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind，improves concentration，reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to understand others．Some of these benefits have been backed up by science．For example，a study of 300 elderly people published by the journal Neurology last year showed that adults who take part in activities that use their brain，such as reading，suffer less memory loss as they get older．Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand others'mental states and beliefs-a key skill in building relationships．
Yet technology has made us less careful readers．Computer and phone screens have changed our reading patterns from the top-to-bottom，left-to-right reading order we traditionally used，to a wild skimming pattern as we hunt for important words and information．Reading text online that has many links to other web pages also leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text．The Internet may have made us stupider，says British journalist Patrick Kingsley，only half joking．Because of the Internet，he says we have become very good at collecting a wi de range of factual tidbits （花邊新聞），but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back，think and connect all these facts with each other．

分析 在互聯(lián)網時代，快速閱讀已成為一項不可或缺的技能．我們要能在匆匆瀏覽過文章、郵件、或是微博之后，迅速找到關鍵詞、抓住文章大意．因為我們的手機、電腦每天都會被海量信息所"轟炸"，逐字逐句的閱讀顯然是不可能的．但是，不插電、享受慢閱讀正在成為一個新趨勢，人們認為它有除了激發(fā)智力之外的 諸多好處．

解答 25．C．理解推斷題．由第一段Bombarded with information from our electronic devices，it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word，line by line．因為我們的手機、電腦每天都會被海量信息所"轟炸"，逐字逐句的閱讀顯然是不可能的．故選C．
26．B．細節(jié)理解題．由第二段where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones．They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour．在那里，會員們會相約在咖啡館，關掉各自的手機，倚在舒服的椅子上，靜靜閱讀一個小時．可知選B．
27．A．細節(jié)理解題．由第四段adults who take part in activities that use their brain，such as reading，suffer less memory loss as they get older．參加用腦活動比如讀書的成年人，當他們老的時候能夠減緩記憶力衰退．故選A．
28．B．段意理解題．由第三段段意可知，互聯(lián)網使我們變得更笨，可以收集信息卻不能細心閱讀，因此是講了電子閱讀的影響，故選B．

點評 推理判斷題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎上，做出一定的推理判斷，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義．推理判斷題所涉及的內容可能是文中的某一句話，也可能是某幾句話，所以，推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫或綜合．推理判斷題的題干中通常含有infer，suggest，imply，conclude  indicate等標志性詞語． 這種題型主要包括細節(jié)判斷題、態(tài)度觀點推斷題、寫作意圖推斷題、文章出處判斷題和猜測想象推斷題．比如第25小題．
