【解题导语】 文章向我们介绍了英语阅读练习的相关技巧，强调练习在任何领域都起着重要作用。
1．to improve 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：大多数人认为在任何尝试中，提升你技能最好的方式是练习、练习、再练习。the best way to do sth.为固定结构，意为“做某事的最佳方式”，动词不定式结构作后置定语。
2．equally 解析：考查词性转换。句意为：这一点同样适用于体育运动或成为一名好的音乐家、画家或医生。分析句子结构可知，apply to为动词短语，应用副词修饰。故填equally。 3．achievement(s) 解析：考查词性转换。句意：当然，天赋对于取得高成就起着重要作用……设空前为介词in，故填achieve的名词形式achievement(s)，作宾语。
4．applies 解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：同样的原则适用于有能力的读者。根据句意及句子结构可知，The same principle为主语，且此处阐述的是客观事实，故谓语
1
动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填applies。
5．techniques 解析：考查名词单复数。句意：有些特定的技巧供你学习，然后练习取决于你自己。technique在此意为“技巧”，为可数名词，根据There are可知应用复数形式。故填techniques。
6．it 解析：考查代词。句意见上一题解析。It is up to sb.to do sth.为固定句型，it为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。故填it。
7．whether 解析：考查宾语从句。句意：检测一篇文章是否难度适中的一种方式是读第一页。分析句子结构可知，test为动词，后接宾语从句，结合句意和空后的or not可知，此处填whether。
8．higher 解析：考查形容词的比较级。句意：如果生词率高于3%，你将很难读懂文章，因此可能也不会喜欢这篇文章。根据空后的than可知，此处应用形容词的比较级。故填higher。
9．on 解析：考查介词。句意：……你可以在网上找到有关这一主题的英文文章。on the Internet为固定搭配，意为“在网上”。
10．studying 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：你可以用那种方式练习用英语阅读和学习生物。由as well as可知，practicing和设空处并列，故填studying。
