20本，一生能讀一千本，或者更多。這可是一個博覽群書的簡便方法。57．【T1】正確答案：Norcanyouattainthatspeedwithbooksinscience，mathematics，agriculture，business，orbookswhosecontentsareneworunfamiliartoyou．解析：(nor為否定詞，放于句首時后面的句子應(yīng)倒裝。)58．【T2】正確答案：Booksvaryinlengthfrom60，000to100，000wordsandtheaverageisabout75，000words．解析：(varyin在……方面有差異。)59．【T3】正確答案：Itis3timesthenumberofbooksreadbypublic-libraryborrowersinAmericaandyetitiseasilypossibleIcaneasilybeachieved．解析：(該句為并列句，用and連接，表示轉(zhuǎn)折時與yet連接。)60．【T4】正確答案：Theonlythingneededisthewilltoread，withwhichyoucanfindthe15minutesnomatterhowbusyyouare．解析：(本句中which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，介詞應(yīng)提至which之前。)61．【T5】正確答案：Nowthatyouhavestartedthe15minutes，youshouldnotwasteasinglesecond．解析：(nowthat既然。single用作強(qiáng)調(diào)。)PartⅥIQTest62．WhatdoestheitalicisedphrasemeaninChinese?—Well,we’dbetterputourheadstogetherrightnowsothatwedon’thavetoplaneverythingatthelastminute!—OK,then,let’ssortoutthedetails.正確答案：集思廣益。解析：(大腦的作用是思考。把大腦放在一起，可
