Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts __1__ questions, and so on.
For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become __2__ of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between __3__ and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our question of the text continues at the unconscious level.
Different people __4__ with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page, others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is __5__ in the text. The latter represents __6__ levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation which from our point of view is __7__ important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as __8__ to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the __9__ we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well __10__. Not so our ability to hold a content conversation.

參考答案及解析:
1. 選 O )。 很明顯此處應(yīng)填形容詞?蛇x項(xiàng)有 higher 和 further ,原文為“根據(jù)答案反復(fù)提出。。。問題“,但 higher 一般強(qiáng)調(diào)的是層次上的高低,因此不能用來修飾 question ,故只有 further “更進(jìn)一步的”符合題意。
2. 選 M )。 此處應(yīng)填形容詞且能與 of 構(gòu)成固定搭配?蛇x項(xiàng)有 awake 和 aware ,由前一句中 below the level of consciousness (即 unconsciousness )和此句中 however 轉(zhuǎn)折可以推出,此處應(yīng)填與 consciousness 意思相近的形容詞,故排除 awake “警覺的”,而選 aware 。
3. 選 J )。 由空格后的 and meaning 可知,此處應(yīng)填名詞,與 meaning 構(gòu)成并列結(jié)構(gòu)。原文為“我們會(huì)意識(shí)到溝通的存在,通常是在我們遇到難題或 …… 與文章意思不符的時(shí)候”,故只有 expectations “所猜測的意思”符合題意。
4. 選 B )。 很明顯此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞且能與 with 搭配?蛇x項(xiàng)有 converse 和 deal ,從句意來理解,不同的人 …… 文章不同,但由于文章主要說明的是讀者與文章之間的溝通方式,故排除 deal “處理”而選 converse “談話。
5. 選 D )。 因關(guān)系代詞 which 指代的是 comprehension ,可知此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)形式。但由 The former 和 the words on he page 可推出前一種人是從文中的字詞去理解文章,而字詞只能是被寫在文中,因此只有 written 符合題意。
6. 選 I )。 此處應(yīng)填形容詞。由 The former 和 The latter 可知,此處是將兩種人的對(duì)話方式進(jìn)行比較,故可選項(xiàng)有 higher 和 better ,但由前面提到的后一種人對(duì)文章所做的 interpreting , criticizing , analyzing and examining 可知,這些都屬于對(duì)文章更高層次的理解,因此選 higher 。
7. 選 C )。 顯然此處應(yīng)填副詞?蛇x項(xiàng)有 equally 和 absolutely ,但由 another 可推出,文章是在分別說明兩種對(duì)話方式,而沒有突出哪個(gè)更重要,故排除 absolutely 而選 equally 。
8. 選 A ) 。此處是將“ process ” conversation 與“ content ” conversation 形成對(duì)比,故可選項(xiàng)有 opposed 和 compared ,但 as opposed to 是固定搭配,因此排除 compared 。
9. 選 F )。 從句子結(jié)構(gòu)來看,此處缺的是 employ 的賓語,再從選項(xiàng)中看,能與 employ 形成動(dòng)賓搭配且符合題意的只有 strategies ,故選 strategies 。
10. 選 E )。 此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)形式。選項(xiàng)中有 developed “提高,加強(qiáng)”和 compared “比較”能與 ability 構(gòu)成動(dòng)賓搭配,但從句意理解,通常高級(jí)讀者與文章進(jìn)行“程序?qū)υ挕钡哪芰?…… ,故只有 developed 符合題意。
