　　积累；express表达；show表明。这里表示“数据表明”，故选择D项。　since 表示“从……以来”，上文提到员工们的补偿金本季度下降了1.1%，这个下降的幅度是自1955年有记录以来最大的，所以用since。　competition 竞争；employment 就业；achievement 成就，成绩；attraction吸引，吸引力。伴随着工资的下降，竞争肯定越来越激烈，失业的人也就越来越多，所以就业率就会下降。　release 发布，释放；relieve 解除，减轻；relate 联系，叙述；relax 放松。这里release表示“发布”。句意：这份数据是作为英国国家统计局这个组织对英国经济评估报告的一部分来对外发布的。　promote促进，提升；justify证明……是合法的；confirm确认，证实；advocate 提倡，主张。句意：这份数据证实了第一季度国内生产总值下降了1.9%这一事实。　从后半句“the biggest annual fall since 1980”可以得出GDP肯定是比去年降低了4.1%，所以用lower。poor贫穷的；slim苗条的；weak虚弱的。　amazing令人惊异的depressing令人沮丧的；surprising令人惊讶的；puzzling令人费解的。 　economy经济；finance财政；business商业；commerce贸易。这里应该是对整个宏观经济的展望，所以用economy，其他三个选项太过片面了。　in response to表示“响应，反应”，这里表示由于房地产市场、劳动力市场以及银行借贷的疲软，导致家庭支出以及投资的大幅下降。　remain表示“依然，保持”，后面大多跟形容词。maintain表示“维持，保持(已有的水平、标准)”，这里表示“虽然由于房地产市场、劳动力市场以及银行借贷的疲软而导致家庭支出以及投资的大幅下降，但是我们仍然不相信……”，所以这里用remain。【要点综述】 阅读本来是一个愉悦身心的活动，但是忙碌的工作使人们远离了阅读所带来的乐趣。本文就如何开展有效的快速阅读进行了简单的说明。　本句意思是“如果想谋得一份差事”。apply需加for，意思是“申请”；do做； offer提供。此三项均不符合题意，只有get(获得)适合。　本句意为“快速阅读与理解的能力，是关系到成败的关键所在”。只有quickly与原意吻合。easily容易地；roughly 粗略地； decidedly果断地。　由下文“Most of us develop poor reading…”可知此处选poor。其他选项不妥。　此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成不良的读书习惯”。因此选habit“习惯”。training 训练，培训；situation形势；custom风俗习惯。　此处说的是“主要的困难在于语言的自身要素，即单词”。combine联合；touch接触；involve包括。这三项的词义与原文不符。而lie与in构成搭配，意为“在于”。　这里的意思是“如果单个some一些，少量的；a lot of许多；dull单调的。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词，合乎逻辑。　此句指“作者对未受过阅读训练的人的不良习惯感到遗憾”。fortunately幸运地；actually事实上；logically合乎逻辑地。unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句意。　此处意思为“在阅读时经常重读(反复读)”。因此，选reread“重读”。reuse再使用；rewrite改写；recite背诵。C　scale down按比例减少；cut down削减。此两项不合题意。 measures不能与down搭配。只有slow down“放慢”能否与后面的speed搭配。　根据上文可知，训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关，因此选accelerator (快读器)。actor演员；amplifier放大器；observer观察者。　前面的faster决定了此处应当选than，构成比较级。　此句意为“快速阅读器迫使你加快阅读速度，使你再也不能逐字阅读，回顾前文内容或者默读。”enable相当于make possible；lead引导；indicate指出，表明。都不合题意。只有make (使得)最合适。　与前半句中的not only相呼应，构成句式not only…but…“but，而nor、or或for均不能与前面的not only搭配。　take与后面的for instance构成短语，意为“以……为例”，其他三项不能与for instance构成搭配。 　此处意为“在较短时间内，读完众多的材料”。refer to参考；go over复习；set about着手做。此三项均不合题意；只有get through “完成”最恰当。
