Nearly all"speed reading"courses have a"pacing"element—some timing device which lets the students know how many words a minute he is reading.You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached.Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are reading.How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy reading the book?Well,this is difficult at first.A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours.Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interests books.You should soon notice your accustomed w.p.m. rate creeping up. Obviously there is little point in increasing your w.p.m.if you do not understand what you are reading.When you are consciously tring to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter(if you are reading a novel)or every section or group of ten or twelve pages(if it is a textbook)and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading.If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the secfion or chapter.
You can also try"lightning speed"exercise from time to time.Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can.Do not bother about whether you understand or not.Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your"normal"w.p.m.rate.the rate at which you can comfortably understand.After a’lightning speed’reading through(probably 600 w.P.m.you will usually find that your"normal"speed has increased—perhaps by as much as 50—100 w.p.m.This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually Fun further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.
According to the passage,a"pacing"device______.
选项
A、is used to time a student’ s reading speed
B、is not used in most speed reading courses
C、is used as an aid to vocabulary learning
D、should be used whenever we read alone
答案
A

细节题。文章第一段第一句话中破折号后的部分是对pacing device进 行的解释,由“some timing device which lets the students know how many words a minute he is reading.”可知,pacing device是用来测定阅读速度的, [A] 选项的表述与此一致,因此应选择[A] 选项。
