12、的熟悉程度， 光线，疲劳。C“ 一组词的长度 ” 不是能影响视幅的因素，是本题的答案。 2 C。观点态度题。作者在第二段第二句提到，眼睛训练课程只 注重了阅读的视觉因素。 倒数第二句书哦， 阅读要求具备理解单词间 关系的能力。因此选项C“ 阅读需要大脑的深度参与” 正确。作者没有 否定阅读的视觉因素的必要性，但是也没有说读者应该练习拓宽视 幅，加快阅读速度。所以AB 两项都不正确。作者没有对大脑和眼睛 在阅读过程中的重要性进行对比，所以不选D 3 C。 作者在这句话中先是肯定了那些阅读练习提高看单词的 能力，然后提出了有效阅读概念。后面句中还指出，有效阅读需要的 是理解单词间的联系的能力。所以作者的意思应该是那些(训练眼睛 的)阅读练习对与有效的阅读无益。B 与文章相反。 D 句是蕴涵其中 一个意思，却不是作者想表达的方向。 4 D。 第二段最后一句说，眼睛训练对于帮助读者阅读连贯文 章无益，所以 D 是错的，是本题答案。 5 A。 参考前面的结构剖析，作者写本文的主要目的是对那些 只关注阅读的视觉因素的阅读能力课程进行批判，所以答案应该是 A。
