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, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In【C1】______ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend【C2】______ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are【C3】______ readers. Most of us develop poor reading【C4】 ______ at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency【C5】______ in the actual stuff of language itself---words. Taken individually, words have 【C6】______ meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.【C7】______  , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to【C8】______  words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over【C9】______ you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which【C10】______ down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as【C11】______ reads.
    To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an【C12】______ , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate  【C13】______ the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 【C14】______ word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first【C15】______ 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 【C17】______ reading skill drastically improved after some training.【C18】______  Charles Green, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute【C19】______ .the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can【C20】______ a lot more reading material in a short period of time.  [br] 【C5】

选项 A、lies
B、combines
C、touches
D、involves

答案 A

解析 惯用搭配题。此处说的是“主要的困难在于语言的自身要素,即单词”。B combines“联合”;C touches“接触”;D involves“包括”,这三项的词义与原文不符。而A lies与in构成惯用搭配,意为“在于”。
