When they39。re in primary school, children read books that really challenge them. But once they reach secondary school, the level of difficulty doesn39。t change much. Secondary school students tend to read books which are also read by upper primary students. They are not challenging themselves enough. To discover these trends, I analyzed data collected by Accelerated Reader (AR) software, which asks pupils to check their understanding of the books they39。ve chosen to read. The difficulty — which I call readability. I also created two lists of books: one for the books that most secondary pupils had chosen to read, and another for the books they had voted as their favorites. According to the readability, these students39。 favorite books tend to be much more advanced than the other books they chose, but they could still understand them. The rest of the books most often chosen by them are quite simple. You might think that students who read harder books might make more mistakes and understand them less well. But students39。 quality of prehension does not depend on the difficulty of the book, no matter what year of secondary school they39。re in. Having an interest is the most obvious factor here — if you like the book, you try hard to really understand it. As children bee teenagers, they listen less to advice from adults and more to advice from kids of their age. So, rather than trying to lecture young people on the benefits of Jane Austen, we should make the nature of the problem clear to them. Students should challenge each other to read more difficult books. Adults could help by setting up noticeboards or organizing social media networks for young people to share their remendations. And teachers can lend a hand by setting aside time for reading in school. Young people will realize the problems that e when they don39。t challenge themselves to read difficult books.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph? spend little time on afterclass reading school students seldom read tough books39。s reading interest tends to decrease as they grow up students have difficulty choosing good reading materials（2）The author made use of AR software to ________. children39。s different reading styles the average time children spend on reading out the causes of children39。s reading difficulties clear the difficulty levels of books read by children（3）What can we infer about secondary school students from the readability scores? find some advanced books interesting often make mistakes during advanced reading prefer to read books remended by their parents can hardly improve their scores on reading prehension（4）According to Paragraph 4, what is vital for improving reading prehension? knowledge skills（5）What does the author want to express in the last paragraph? relatively difficult textbooks is necessary students39。 reading is a shared responsibility technology should be used in reading reaching should be encouraged to read more literary works【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）C（5）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，作者通過對初中生閱讀能力的一項調(diào)查討論了如何提高他們的閱讀能力—興趣動力。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“But once they reach secondary school, the level of difficulty doesn39。t change much.
