______ the essay a second time, and you will probably have quite different interpretations of the arguments discussed in it. A. If you were read B. As you read C. Read D. Reading

正确答案是 C. Read。

句子分析：
“______ the essay a second time, and you will probably have quite different interpretations of the arguments discussed in it.”
这是一个常见的 “祈使句 + and + 将来时句子” 结构，表示 “如果……就……”。

选项分析：

A. If you were read ❌ 语法错误，被动语态 “were read” 在这里不合适，且不符合虚拟语句的自然表达。

B. As you read ❌ 用 “as” 引导的时间状语从句，主句通常不用 “and” 连接，会显得结构冗余且不自然。

C. Read ✅ 祈使句开头，与后面 “and you will...” 形成 “Do… and…” 的条件句型，相当于 “If you read the essay a second time, you will...”。

D. Reading ❌ 动名词短语作主语时，通常不与 “and” 直接这样连接，会破坏句子结构，不符合习惯表达。

所以最佳答案是 C，句子意为：“再读一遍这篇文章，你很可能对其中讨论的观点有截然不同的理解。”
