試題分析：在本文中作者介紹了閱讀需要的四種能力，即略讀（skimming）、快讀（scanning）、深入理解（reading for thorough comprehension）和批判性閱讀（critical reading）。根據(jù)不同的閱讀目的，人們采用不同的閱讀方式，比如要想了解作者的思想觀點(diǎn)和文章大意，人們一般要采用深入理解的閱讀方式。

1.D根據(jù)下文These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer這些.閱讀部分選材能給學(xué)生提供了提高閱讀能力的機(jī)會(huì)，由此推斷上文應(yīng)該與reading selections有關(guān)，縱觀選項(xiàng)D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容可以承接上下文，所以D選項(xiàng)正確。

2.G根據(jù)前句This kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or可知此空內(nèi)容是關(guān)于何時(shí)應(yīng)該使用skimming這項(xiàng)閱讀技巧，而C選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容恰好能承接上文，所以正確答案選G。

3.E根據(jù)上文可知此段介紹scanning這種閱讀能力，而E選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容給出了scanning這種閱讀能力的定義，由此判斷E選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容符合語境，所以答案選E。

4.C本段介紹thorough comprehension，這是對(duì)文章的深層次理解，在這個(gè)階段讀者要能總結(jié)文章大意，不需要對(duì)作者的觀點(diǎn)做出評(píng)論，而C選項(xiàng)中….. those ideas 和上文…..the author's ideas.恰好呼應(yīng),能夠起到承上啟下的作用,由此可知答案選C。

5.A根據(jù)上文answering questions such as可知此處是列舉問題，再根據(jù)Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads可以判斷此處列舉的問題應(yīng)該是對(duì)閱讀內(nèi)容作出評(píng)判，所以A為正確選項(xiàng)。.
