问题                Eye Movement and Several Faults in Reading
    Suppose you do this experiment with a friend. Get hold of a book with a large page size and lines that run right across the page. Get your friend to hold the book up and to read it with the top of the book just below his eye level. This means that you can watch the movement of his eyes as he reads the page. If you do this, you will see that your friend’s eyes do not make a continuous forward sweep. Instead, they progress by little "jumps" moving, then stopping, as they progress along the line. This kind of jumping movement is called a saccadic movement(跳跃).
    There has to he this starting and stopping movement because the eye can see only when it is still motionless. Every time the eye pauses it sees a phrase or even a sentence then jumps to the next part of the line and so on.
    There is another interesting fact about eye movement. If you record the eye movements of someone who is reading, you will notice that, from time to time, the reader goes back and looks again at something he has read before; in other words, he regresses(回视) an earlier part of the text, probably because he realizes he does not understand the passage properly. Then he comes back to where he left off and continues reading. At one time, it was though that regression was a fault, but it is in fact a very necessary activity in efficient reading.
    There are several different kinds of faults in reading, which are usually more exaggerated with foreign language learners. The most common one is that most people read everything at the same slow speed, and do not seem to realize that they can read faster or slower as required. Other people say the words to themselves, or move their lips-these habits slow the reader down to something near speaking speed, which is of course much slower than reading speed. Another habit that can slow you down is following the line with your finger, or with a pen.
Why do people often regress in reading?
选项 A、Because they need to read previous parts again to get a better understanding.
B、Because they need to rest their eyes from time to time.
C、Because that is the way people’s eyes move in reading process.
D、Because peoples’ eyes move by "jump" in reading process.
答案A
解析 本题考查考生正确理解原文细节的能力。考的是人们在阅读时为什么会经常回视。文章第三段第三句谈到：Probably because he realizes he does not understand the passage properly．Then he comes back to where he left off and continues reading．即人眼回视是由于阅读的人意识到他没有理解所读段落。因此，选项A人们回视以更好地理解读过的段落，是正确的；选项B人眼在阅读时的一种休息方式，毫无根据，是错误的；选项C这就是人眼在阅读时的移动方式，与题干不构成因果关系，对题干不起到任何解释作用，也是错误的；选项D人眼在阅读过程中是跳跃式移动的，与题干所陈述的现象是人眼阅读时出现的两个独立的现象，它们之间无因果关系。所以，正确答案是A。
