阅读理解短文
Nowadays,a lot of young people seem to spend much of their free time either watching television
or playing computer games.Certainly,these things are entertaining,but they don't contribute
much to developing their brains.Many believe that reading books,and especially fiction,is a
much more effective way of achieving this.The most obvious benefit we get from reading a good
story is a growing vocabulary.We come across new words in reading and try to understand these
words through context.Gradually,we become more confident with complex words.In addition,
we improve in other areas such as speaking and writing just by reading regularly.It has also been
established that reading fiction is a good way of developing a good self-image.Non-readers or poor
readers often have low opinions of themselves.Besides,they may perform poorly in other subjects
because they cannot read and understand the material.Most importantly,however,reading fiction
helps us to develop our brains.The human brain can work well when we just do regular things,like
driving or walking.However,learning expert Dr.Brian E.Walsh suggested that it can perform
more effectively when an element of surprise is added,because this helps to build connections in
the brain.In this respect,the positive effects of reading may be much stronger than previously
thought.Recent research has shown that the brain reacts more strongly to unpredictable than to
predictable things.This may explain why people enjoy reading fiction,which generally contains
lots of unpredictable things.Reading fiction enables us to experience fresh scenarios()and
2
identify with the people we are reading about.When we mentally create the scenes,the look of
the characters,the smells,and the sounds in the book,we are exercising our brain.The brain
is challenged.This is a positive thing because it will continue to grow and develop if properly
stimulated.The more it is used,the better it becomes.

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:
40.We come across new words in reading and try to understand these words through
context.
41.They have low opinions of themselves and may perform poorly in other subjects.
42.The false part is "fiction shows more predictable things in our daily life".Because the
passage states that "recent research has shown that the brain reacts more strongly to
unpredictable than to predictable things"and "fiction generally contains lots of
unpredictable things".
43.(Possible answer)It helps me develop empathy by understanding different characters'
feelings and experiences.
40.:We come across new words in reading and try to understand these words
through context.
考点:细节信息查找
语境逻辑:题目询问阅读如何帮助提升词汇量,定位到文中第二段“The most obvious benefit..
We come across new words in reading and try to understand these words through context.
解析:直接提取关键信息“come across new words..understand through context”,即为答案。
41.:They have low opinions of themselves and may perform poorly in other
sub.jects.
考点:细节归纳
语境逻辑:题目问“很少阅读的人有什么问题”,定位到第三段“Non-readers or poor readers
often have low opinions of themselves.Besides,they may perform poorly in other subjects
because they cannot read and understand the material."
解析:原文用“Besides”连接两个问题,需整合为“low opinions of themselves”和“perform
poorly in other subjects".
42.答案:The false part is”fiction shows more predictable things in our daily life”.
Because the passage states that "recent research has shown that the brain reacts
more strongly to unpredictable than to predictable things"and "fiction generally
contains lots of unpredictable things".
考点:细节比对与逻辑判断
语境逻辑:题目要求找出错误部分并解释,原句中“fiction shows more predictable things'”与文
中第四段“fiction generally contains lots of unpredictable things”和“brain reacts more strongly
to unpredictable than to predictable things”矛盾。
解析:错误点为“predictable things”,需根据原文“unpredictable things'”解释原因,强调研
究结论与原文细节的冲突。
43.:(Possible answer)It helps me develop empathy by understanding different
characters'feelings and experiences.
考点:拓展性思维(开放题)
