【2】B细节理解题。根据第二段Withautomaticity，hedoesn&rsquothavetothinkaboutthemeaningofwords，sohecangiveallhisattentiontothemeaningofthetext.描述在不知不觉中，他没有必要再思考单词的意义，所以他可以把他所有的注意力集中在短文的意义上。根据句意及上下文，故选B。

【3】C细节理解题。根据Anychildwhospendsatleast3.5t04hoursaweekreadingbooks，magazinesornewspaperswillprobablyreachautomaticity.任何一个孩子每周至少花费3.5到4个小时看书，看杂志或看报纸，就有可能达到自动性。故选C。

【4】A词义猜测题。根据第二段Withpractice，hestumbleslessandless，readingbythephrase联系下文可知通过练习，他以短语的方式阅读，他停顿的越来越少。即结结巴巴故选A。
