　　答案解析：

　　36. B

　　詞義辨析題。substantively意為“實(shí)質(zhì)地”，substantially意為“充分地，很多地”，substitutively意為“可替代地”，subjectively意為“主觀地”。本句意為“經(jīng)過(guò)幾個(gè)世紀(jì)，閱讀的概念已經(jīng)________改變了”，選項(xiàng)B與最符合句意。

　　37. C

　　介詞用法題。本句中的to是介詞，應(yīng)該接名詞或動(dòng)名詞。結(jié)合其后“and describing the reading process”可知，應(yīng)選C。

　　38. A

　　詞義辨析題。兩個(gè)分句的謂語(yǔ)分別是agree和disagree，由此可知，這兩個(gè)分句應(yīng)為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選A。

　　39. A

　　詞義辨析題。involve意為“卷入，包括”，take意為“拿走，獲得”，reveal意為“顯示，揭露”，invite意為“邀請(qǐng)”。結(jié)合句意“專家們認(rèn)為閱讀________更高的、更復(fù)雜的智力活動(dòng)”，A項(xiàng)最合適。

　　40. D

　　詞義辨析題。mental function意為“智力活動(dòng)”，故選D。opinion意為“意見(jiàn)”，manner意為“行為”，effect意為“影響”，這三項(xiàng)與mental搭配均不符合句意，故排除。

　　41. B

　　慣用搭配題。disagree about/on意為“對(duì)……有不同意見(jiàn)”，故選B。

　　42. A

　　慣用搭配題。view...as是慣用搭配，意為“把……看做”，故選A。look是不及物動(dòng)詞，如要使用，應(yīng)加上介詞at。

　　43. D

　　46. A

　　詞義辨析題。本句意為“一個(gè)孩子能讀出聲而不________所讀的含義，不能叫做真正的閱讀”，故選A，interpreting意為“了解，理解”。explain意為“解釋”，真正的閱讀并不需要去解釋什么，而是要理解所讀材料的意思。

　　47. C

　　詞義辨析題。some在句中指代與authorities持不同觀點(diǎn)的人，空格與后面的to some共同構(gòu)成插入語(yǔ)，according to為固定搭配，該插入語(yǔ)意為“根據(jù)有些人的觀點(diǎn)”，故選C。

　　48. D

　　詞義辨析題。totally意為“完全地”，usually意為“通�！保琺ainly意為“大體地”，均不符合句意，排除。actually意為“實(shí)際上”，下一句對(duì)其進(jìn)行了反向解釋，即“有閱讀能力的許多成年人，并未全面讀過(guò)一本書。”言外之意，他們實(shí)際上不算讀者，故選D。

　　49. B

　　詞義辨析題。part意為“部分，零件”，entirety意為“整體”，chapter意為“章”，section意為“部分;節(jié)”;in its entirety意為“整體地，全面地”。由此可知，選項(xiàng)B正確。

　　53. A

　　詞義辨析題。由句意“為了不同的________而對(duì)意思進(jìn)行解釋”，可知A項(xiàng)正確。for various purposes意為“出于各種各樣的原因”。

　　54. C

　　詞義辨析題。so用在do之后代表上文提到的具體動(dòng)作，以避免重復(fù)，故選C。

　　55. B

　　慣用搭配題。結(jié)合上下文可知，此處要作總結(jié)，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有B項(xiàng)能和short構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)in short(總之)。
