1.【答案】B
【解析】substantively“實(shí)質(zhì)地”;substantially“大量地”;substitutively“可替代地”;subjectively“主觀地”。本句意為經(jīng)過幾個(gè)世紀(jì)，閱讀的概念已經(jīng)改變了很多。
2.【答案】C
【解析】在這里to是介詞，后接名詞或動名詞。因本句中the reading process前也應(yīng)有動詞，故選動名詞
3.【答案】A
【解析】although表示“盡管”，符合句意。
4.【答案】A
【解析】involve使卷入、包括;被動語態(tài)時(shí)用be involved in;沒有involve to和involve of的用法。
5.【答案】D
【解析】mental function智力活動。Opinion“意見”;manner“行為”;effect“影響”，這三項(xiàng)與mental搭配不妥。
6.【答案】B
【解析】disagree about/on“對……有不同意見”，在這一含義上不能用其他介詞。
7.【答案】A
【解析】view…as把……看作。
8.【答案】D
【解析】stand for“代表”;stand by“支持”;stand to“遵守”;stand off“冷淡”。
9.【答案】B
【解析】contend“爭論”;content“含量、容量”;contempt“輕視、蔑視”;contact“接觸、聯(lián)系”。根據(jù)句意，此處應(yīng)選contend，意為這些爭論說……。
10.【答案】A
【解析】inexplicably“無法解釋地”;inextricably“無法擺脫的”;inexpressibly“說不出地”;inexpediently“不適當(dāng)?shù)?、不明智地”。本句意為其他人?jiān)持認(rèn)為閱讀無法解釋地與思考聯(lián)系在一起。
11.【答案】A
【解析】interpreting“理解”;explaining“解釋”。本句意為一個(gè)孩子能發(fā)出聲音而不理解所讀的含義，不能叫做真正的閱讀。
12.【答案】C
【解析】在這里according to some是說“根據(jù)一些人的觀點(diǎn)”。
13.【答案】D
【解析】actually“事實(shí)上地”;practical是形容詞，不能修飾動詞。這里actually和前半句的theoretical是在詞意上的相對，符合句意。
14.【答案】B
【解析】代詞its后接名詞，四項(xiàng)選擇中只有B、D項(xiàng)是名詞。entirety“整體”;entity“實(shí)體”。in its entirety指整體地、全面地。
15.【答案】C
【解析】be classified as“被劃分、被分類到”;be granted“被授予”。
16.【答案】C
【解析】conclusive“確定的”;inclusive“包括的、包圍的”;inclinable“傾向于、贊成的”;complicated“復(fù)雜的”。the most conclusive是級，指最確定性的
