【正文】 。 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(xì)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. Secondary school students tend to read books which are also read by upper primary students. They are not challenging themselves enough.”但是一旦他們進(jìn)入中學(xué)，學(xué)習(xí)的難度并沒有太大的變化。中學(xué)生喜歡讀小學(xué)高年級學(xué)生也讀的書。他們沒有足夠的挑戰(zhàn)自己，可知，初中生在閱讀難度方面沒有提高。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“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’.”為了發(fā)現(xiàn)這些趨勢，我分析了加速閱讀(AR)軟件收集的數(shù)據(jù)，該軟件要求學(xué)生檢查他們對所選書籍的理解。這個困難——我稱之為“可讀性”，可知，AR軟件是用來評測學(xué)生閱讀難度的。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“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.”根據(jù)可讀性，這些學(xué)生最喜歡的書往往比他們選擇的其他書更高級/有難度，但他們?nèi)匀豢梢岳斫馑麄儭Ｋ麄冏畛＿x擇的其他書都很簡單，可知選A。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Having an interest is the most obvious factor here — if you like the book, you try hard to really understand it.”興趣是最明顯的因素——如果你喜歡這本書，你會努力去真正理解它，可知，興趣或動力對于提高閱讀理解能力來說很重要。故選C。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“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.”學(xué)生們應(yīng)該互相挑戰(zhàn)，多讀些難懂的書。成年人可以通過設(shè)立公告欄或組織社交媒體網(wǎng)絡(luò)來幫助年輕人分享他們的推薦。老師可以通過在學(xué)校留出閱讀時間來幫助學(xué)生。年輕人會意識到，如果他們不挑戰(zhàn)自己去讀難懂的書，問題就會出現(xiàn)，可知，作者在建議提高學(xué)生閱讀能力方面，將責(zé)任分別劃分到了學(xué)生、老師、家長身上。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life39。s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way. Life is like a game and maybe you can award(獎勵) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, Hey, I39。ve won! and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, Well, I tried! which is better than not trying at all. Don39。t let it be said you didn39。t try. What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby39。s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself. It really doesn39。t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don39。t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don39。t let give up be a part of your vocabulary.（1）By saying To err is human, the author means that________. beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakes one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakes and failures make up our life beings make mistakes easil
