As students, we spend a lot of time reading. But how well can we remember what we’ve read?
There are many ways to memorize information. Do you read information in your head? Do you read it aloud? Do you take notes, or just ask someone to test you? We usually choose the best way for us.
Previous studies showed that reading information aloud helped people remember it better than reading it in their heads. However, the researchers of those studies paid attention to how well people could remember information, but not how well they could understand it. Researchers in Canada and Australia wanted to find out whether reading aloud had an effect (影响) on comprehension (理解力).
The researchers invited some people to do the new research. Those people got passages to read. They read some aloud, and read some in their heads. After reading each passage, they had to answer a few questions. Some questions tested their memory, and some tested their understanding of the passage.
The researcher team found that reading aloud improved memory. However, it didn’t improve people’s comprehension of the passage. Brady Roberts, one of the researchers, said, “Being able to remember information doesn’t mean you’ll understand it better.” He added, “Reading your shopping list (清单) aloud can help you buy the right things, but it’s not necessary to read difficult passages or textbooks aloud.”
31. In Paragraph 2, the writer raises some questions to ________.
A. teach how to read textbooks B. find out the role of reading aloud
C. show ways to memorize information D. introduce the best way to do studies
32. What does the underlined word “Previous” probably mean?
A. Past. B. Social. C. Creative. D. Main.
33. What do we know about the new research?
A. American researchers did it. B. People didn’t need to read passages out.
C. People answered questions after reading. D. The questions didn’t test people’s memory.
34. Which of the following might Brady Roberts agree with?
A. Reading aloud can’t help people memorize textbooks
B. Reading aloud can’t help people memorize shopping lists.
C. Reading aloud can’t help people finish a good shopping list.
D. Reading aloud can’t help people understand difficult passages.
35. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Can reading aloud improve memory?
B. Reading aloud doesn’t help comprehension
C. Reading aloud helps memory, but not comprehension
D. Researchers connect memory and comprehension
【答案】31. C 32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于“朗读”对记忆和理解力影响的新科学研究。核心结论是:朗读有助于记忆,但无助于深度理解。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据“There are many ways to memorize information.”可知,这一段开头就点明有很多记忆信息的方法,紧接着连续用四个问句来列举这些不同的方法(默读、朗读、记笔记、让人测试)。因此,作者提问的目的是为了“show”(展示) 这些记忆的方法。故选C。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Previous studies showed that...”和“Researchers in Canada and Australia wanted to find out whether...”可知,此处提及新的研究和之前的研究,因此“Previous”意为“以前的、先前的”。A选项“Past”表示“过去的”,意义相近。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“After reading each passage, they had to answer a few questions.”可知,读完每一段后,他们必须回答几个问题。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据“it’s not necessary to read difficult passages or textbooks aloud”可知,没有必要去朗读困难的段落或教科书。这句话的言外之意就是,朗读对于理解困难的文章没有帮助。故选D。
【35题详解】
最佳标题题。全文的核心是:朗读有助于记忆(memory),但无助于理解(comprehension)。C选项“朗读有助于记忆,但不利于理解。”最全面。故选C。
C

As students, we spend a lot of time reading. But how well can we remember what we’ve read?
There are many ways to memorize information. Do you read information in your head? Do you read it aloud? Do you take notes or just ask someone to test you? We usually choose the best way for us.
Previous studies showed that reading information aloud helped people remember it better than reading it in their heads. However, the researchers of those studies paid attention to how well people could remember information, but not how well they could understand it. Researchers in Canada and Australia wanted to find out whether reading aloud had an effect (影响) on comprehension (理解力).
The researchers invited some people to do the new research. Those people got passages to read. They read some aloud, and read some in their heads. After reading each passage, they had to answer a few questions. Some questions tested their memory, and some tested their understanding of the passage.
The researcher team found that reading aloud improved memory. However, it didn’t improve people’s comprehension of the passage. Brady Roberts, one of the researchers, said, “Being able to remember information doesn’t mean you’ll understand it better.” He added, “Reading your shopping list (清单) aloud can help you buy the right things, but it’s not necessary to read difficult passages or textbooks aloud.”
31. In Paragraph 2, the writer raises some questions to ________.
A. teach how to read textbooks B. find out the role of reading aloud
C. show ways to memorize information D. introduce the best way to do studies
32. What does the underlined word “Previous” probably mean?
A. Past. B. Social. C. Creative. D. Main.
33. What do we know about the new research?
A. American researchers did it. B. People didn’t need to read passages out.
C. People answered questions after reading. D. The questions didn’t test people’s memory.
34 Which of the following might Brady Roberts agree with?
A. Reading aloud can’t help people memorize textbooks
B. Reading aloud can’t help people memorize shopping lists.
C. Reading aloud can’t help people finish a good shopping list.
D. Reading aloud can’t help people understand difficult passages.
35. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Can reading aloud improve memory?
B. Reading aloud doesn’t help comprehension
C. Reading aloud helps memory, but not comprehension
D. Researchers connect memory and comprehension
C
