【解析】

本文针对如何提高阅读速度提出了5种建议与方法。

【1】句意：只读一个语段的第一句话。A“单词”；B“句子”；C“文章”根据后文he or she will…each paragraph with a key sentence. 可知每一段都会以一个主旨句开始，故应读第一个句子，而非单词或文章，故选B。

【2】句意：如果是一名优秀的作者，他或她通常都会以一个主旨句开始每一个段落。A“开始”；B“分享”；C“连接”，begin…with…为固定短语“以…开始”，由于主旨句是包含在段落当中，故C项错误，B项不符合语境，故选A。

【3】通过阅读第一句话，你可以判断段落里面是否有你需要知道的信息。A“尽管”，B、C项均表示是否，都可以引导宾语从句。由于本句句尾有or not，whether or not构成固定短语“是否”，故只能选B项。

【4】句意：如果你读文学作品，这种方式仍然起作用。A“增加”；B“改善”；C项本意为“工作”，此处意为“使产生效果、使起作用”；前文说明每段都会以一个主旨句开头，阅读文学作品也是一样，分析语境，故选C项。

【5】句意：当文学作品中的语言足够好时，我会选择去读每一个词。选项中enough可以作形容词也可以作副词，作形容词时修饰名词通常置于名词之前，如：enough money；作副词时必须置于形容词之后，如good enough，结合语境，文章精彩才会有人去细细品读每个词，故选A项。

【6】句意：一个段落的最后一句话也包含关于重要细节的信息。A“发现”；B“分享”；C“包含”根据后文A last sentence often serves two functions—it sums up the thought expressed and provides a connection to the next paragraph. 可知每段的最后一句话通常是对上一段的总结，又起到连接下文的作用，即包含重要细节信息。故本题选C。

【7】句意：当你已经浏览了段落的第一句和最后一句，并且确定段落是值得阅读的，你仍然不需要读每一个单词。A“写作”；B“说”；C“阅读”本文强调的是阅读策略，结合语境可知应选C项。

【8】句意：在每一行上快速移动你的眼睛，寻找短语与关键词。A“关系”；B“寻找”；C“感谢”。根据小标题可知本段的策略是读词组，故快速浏览寻找关键词，故选B。

【9】句意：你最知道它们。A“它”；B“它们”；C“他们的”结合前文句意Ignore the little words like it，to，a，an，and，be. 可知阅读时忽略to, a, an等词，因为这些词简单，你是最了解它们的词义的，故选复数的代词them。

【10】句意：仅仅花费多一点的时间在这些关键词周围的细节上。A项意为“稍微；一点”可用于修饰不可数名词及形容词的原级和比较级。B项a few意为“有一些”，修饰可数名词复数；C项意为“一对，一双”。句中more time中的more为much的比较级形式，选项中只有a little可以修饰形容词的比较级，故选A。
