问题     For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications,【C1】______to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure.
    Yet the【C2】______fact is that most of us are poor readers.【C3】______of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never get【C4】______them. The main deficiency【C5】______in the actual stuff of language itself— words. Taken individually, words have little meaning【C6】______they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.【C7】______. the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over【C8】______you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. 【C9】______habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization — sounding each word either orally【C10】______mentally as one reads.
    To【C11】______these bad habits, some reading clinics use a(n)【C12】______called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at slightly【C13】______rate than the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,【C14】______word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization【C15】______impossible. At first comprehension is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster,【C16】______your comprehension will improve.
    Many people have found their reading skill drastically improved after some training.【C17】______Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance. His reading rate was a(n)【C18】______good 172 words a minute【C19】______the training; now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is【C20】______that he can get through a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

选项 A、unless
B、while
C、if
D、when

答案A

解析 逻辑衔接题。空前是说,单个看文字没有多大意义,空后是说,文字被串成短语、句子和段落。空后是空前的否定条件,故答案为[A]unless. unless相当于if…not,表否定条件。
