From ancient campfire tales to modern novels, storytelling has always been a basic part of human culture. But beyond entertainment, research shows that reading stories offers remarkable benefits for our brains, emotions, and social skills. Let's explore why books are more than just words on paper.
Neuroscientists have discovered that reading fiction actually changes our brains. A 2023 Cambridge University study found that regular readers develop stronger neural (神经的) connections in areas related to language and imagination. MRI scans showed that when people read descriptive passages, their sensory cortex(感觉皮层) lights up as if they were experiencing the events firsthand. This mental exercise keeps the brain sharp and may even delay cognitive decline in later years.
Emotionally, stories help us understand ourselves and others better. Dr. Sarah Chen,a psychologist explains, " When we identify with characters, we learn to feel what they feel.This practice of empathy in a safe environment makes us more understanding in real life. "Many therapists (治疗专家) now use novels as tools to help patients process difficult emotions and life challenges.
Furthermore, storytelling enhances creativity and problem-solving skills. Unlike passive entertainment like TV shows, reading makes your brain work to picture scenes and guess what happens next. A study published in Creativity Research Journal found that people who read fiction regularly scored 15% higher on creative thinking tests than non-readers. This flexible thinking helps you do better in school and at work.
Socially, shared stories create powerful bonds. Book clubs and reading communities show how discussing literature builds meaningful connections. As author John Green observes, " The stories we love tell others who we are. " Families that read together develop stronger relationships, and cultures preserve their values through oral and written traditions.
16.What is the main focus of Paragraph 1?
A.The benefits of reading. B.The history of storytelling.
C.The reasons why modern novels are important D.The comparison between ancient and modern stories.
17.Why does the writer mention the Cambridge University study in Paragraph 2?
A.To argue that fiction is better than non-fiction.
B.To show that reading improves brain function.
C.To state that MRI scans are necessary for readers.
D.To encourage people to read more scientific papers.
18.What does the underlined word" empathy" in Paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A.Memory skills. B.Shared feelings.
C.Problem solving. D.Creative ideas.
19.How is reading stories different from watching TV?
A.Reading is more fun than TV. B.Both are good for creativity.
C.TV helps you solve problems better. D.Reading makes your brain work harder.
20.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Science Behind Reading Habits B.Why Reading Books Makes You happier
C.The Best Novels for Brain Development D.How Books Shape Our Minds and Lives
这是一篇关于阅读故事益处的阅读理解,答案及解析如下:
答案:16.A 17.B 18.B 19.D 20.D
详细解析
16. A. The benefits of reading.
解析:第一段开篇点出“阅读故事对大脑、情绪、社交技能有显著益处”,核心聚焦“阅读的好处”。
17. B. To show that reading improves brain function.
解析:第二段提到剑桥大学研究是为了论证“阅读小说能改变大脑,增强神经连接、保持大脑敏锐”,即“阅读提升大脑功能”。
18. B. Shared feelings.
解析:前文提到“认同角色时,会感受他们的情绪”,可推断“empathy”意为“共情(共享情感)”。
19. D. Reading makes your brain work harder.
解析:文中指出“阅读让大脑主动构建场景、猜测情节,而电视是被动娱乐”,即“阅读让大脑更费力运转”。
20. D. How Books Shape Our Minds and Lives
解析:文章从大脑、情绪、创造力、社交等维度,说明阅读如何影响思维与生活,该标题最贴合主题。
C
Buck had never experienced such freezing cold before. When he first arrived in Alaska, the icy wind made him shake all over. Back in sunny California, the coldest days were just rainy, but here, everything was covered in thick, hard snow that never seemed to melt.
The first night was especially difficult. Buck watched curiously as the other sled dogs(雪橇犬) skillfully dug holes in the snow to make warm beds. He tried to copy them, but his hole kept falling apart. Feeling frozen, he stood outside shaking until François, one of the sled drivers, noticed his problem. “Here, let me show you,” François said kindly, showing how to properly shape the snow into a comfortable shelter. After several tries, Buck finally made his first successful snow nest and slept comfortably through the night.
Mealtime brought another challenge. When the men threw frozen fish to the dogs, Buck ate slowly and politely as he always had at his former home. But before he could finish, a bigger dog named Spitz pushed him away and stole his food. That night, Buck went to bed hungry, learning an important lesson. The next day, he started eating quickly and shouting angrily at any dog that came near.
As weeks passed, Buck's body got used to the terrible environment. His once-soft paws grew hard and no longer hurt on the ice. His muscles became stronger from pulling the heavy sled daily. More importantly, his mind changed - he learned to read the other dogs’ behaviors and the men’ s orders. The spoiled (娇惯的) house pet from California was disappearing, replaced by a stronger, wiser survivor who understood the most important rule in the North: learn to play the game or you won't survive.
21. Why did Buck keep shaking on his first night in Alaska?
A. He was scared of the drivers. B. He couldn't make a snow nest.
C. The frozen fish made him sick. D. Spitz attacked him in the dark.
22. What prevented Buck from finishing his meal at the beginning?
A. Spitz took his food away. B. The fish was too hard to eat.
C. François ordered him to stop. D. He wanted to save food for later.
23. What did the author probably mean by saying the underlined sentence?
A. Follow every human order strictly. B. Master survival rules to stay alive.
C. Fight other dogs to protect food. D. Build perfect snow nests for safety.
Which picture shows the change of Buck's personality?
25. What might be the best title for the story?
A. Learning to Dig Snow Nests B. A Dog's First Night in Alaska
C. Survival Lessons in the Wild D. Teaching a California Dog
这是一篇关于巴克(雪橇犬)在阿拉斯加适应生存的阅读理解,答案及解析如下:
答案:21.B 22.A 23.B 24.B 25.C
详细解析
21. B. He couldn’t make a snow nest.
解析:第一段提到巴克第一晚尝试模仿其他狗挖雪窝但总失败,只能在外面冻得发抖,因此发抖是因为不会做雪窝。
22. A. Spitz took his food away.
解析:文中明确说“吃饭时,Spitz把他推开并抢走了食物”,这是Spitz攻击他的原因。
23. B. Master survival rules to stay alive.
解析:划线句“learn to play the game or you won’t survive”结合上下文(巴克从宠物变成野外幸存者),指“掌握生存规则才能活下去”。
24. B
解析:巴克的性格变化是从“娇惯(Soft)”转变为“强壮/坚韧(Strong)”,图B呈现了这种“先弱后强”的变化曲线。
25. C. Survival Lessons in the Wild
解析:文章核心是巴克在阿拉斯加野外学习生存技能、完成蜕变的过程,该标题最贴合主题。

A. People have different opinions on this.
B. Should students use AI to help with writing?
C. However, others disagree with depending on AI for writing.
D. This is especially useful for those who have difficulty with basic language skills.
E. Moreover, using AI to help writing without truly understanding may lead to not enough real learning.
F. Only in this way can we improve our writing abilities and get real knowledge from the writing process.
With the rapid development of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly popular in our daily lives. One question that is often discussed is whether students should use AI to help with writing. 26
Some people believe that using AI for writing can bring several benefits. First, AI writing tools can offer grammar and spelling corrections immediately, helping students avoid common language mistakes. 27 Second, AI can provide inspiration(灵感) and suggestions for topics and structures. When students feel stuck, AI can offer different ideas and ways of thinking, which may help with creativity and improve the quality of their writing.
28 They worry that students may become overly dependent on these tools, losing their ability to think independently and express themselves freely. Writing is a process of organizing thoughts and emotions, and if students depend too much on AI-generated(AI 生成的) content, they miss the chance to practise and develop their own writing skills. 29 This goes against the purpose of education.
In my opinion, while AI can be a good helper, students should use it wisely. We can use AI to check grammar,get some inspiration, but we must make sure that the basic ideas and the whole writing process are our own. 30
答案:26.B 27.D 28.C 29.E 30.F
详细解析:
26. B. Should students use AI to help with writing?
解析:前文提到“学生是否该用AI辅助写作是常被讨论的问题”,此处用该句承接,明确核心讨论话题。
27. D. This is especially useful for those who have difficulty with basic language skills.
解析:前文说AI能纠正语法拼写,此处补充“这对语言基础弱的学生尤其有用”,承接AI的益处。
28. C. However, others disagree with depending on AI for writing.
解析:前文讲AI的好处,此处用“然而,其他人反对依赖AI写作”转折,引出反面观点。
29. E. Moreover, using AI to help writing without truly understanding may lead to not enough real learning.
解析:前文说依赖AI会错失练习机会,此处用“此外,不懂就用AI会导致学习不足”递进,强化反对理由。
30. F. Only in this way can we improve our writing abilities and get real knowledge from the writing process.
解析:前文建议“合理用AI,确保思路和过程是自己的”,此处用“只有这样才能提升写作能力、获得真知识”总结,呼应观点。

From ancient campfire tales to modern novels, storytelling has always been a basic part of human culture. But beyond entertainment, research shows that reading stories offers remarkable benefits for our brains, emotions, and social skills. Let's explore why books are more than just words on paper.
Neuroscientists have discovered that reading fiction actually changes our brains. A 2023 Cambridge University study found that regular readers develop stronger neural (神经的) connections in areas related to language and imagination. MRI scans showed that when people read descriptive passages, their sensory cortex(感觉皮层) lights up as if they were experiencing the events firsthand. This mental exercise keeps the brain sharp and may even delay cognitive decline in later years.
Emotionally, stories help us understand ourselves and others better. Dr. Sarah Chen,a psychologist explains, " When we identify with characters, we learn to feel what they feel.This practice of empathy in a safe environment makes us more understanding in real life. "Many therapists (治疗专家) now use novels as tools to help patients process difficult emotions and life challenges.
Furthermore, storytelling enhances creativity and problem-solving skills. Unlike passive entertainment like TV shows, reading makes your brain work to picture scenes and guess what happens next. A study published in Creativity Research Journal found that people who read fiction regularly scored 15% higher on creative thinking tests than non-readers. This flexible thinking helps you do better in school and at work.
Socially, shared stories create powerful bonds. Book clubs and reading communities show how discussing literature builds meaningful connections. As author John Green observes, " The stories we love tell others who we are. " Families that read together develop stronger relationships, and cultures preserve their values through oral and written traditions.

Buck had never experienced such freezing cold before. When he first arrived in Alaska, the icy wind made him shake all over. Back in sunny California, the coldest days were just rainy, but here, everything was covered in thick, hard snow that never seemed to melt.
The first night was especially difficult. Buck watched curiously as the other sled dogs(雪橇犬) skillfully dug holes in the snow to make warm beds. He tried to copy them, but his hole kept falling apart. Feeling frozen, he stood outside shaking until François, one of the sled drivers, noticed his problem. “Here, let me show you,” François said kindly, showing how to properly shape the snow into a comfortable shelter. After several tries, Buck finally made his first successful snow nest and slept comfortably through the night.
Mealtime brought another challenge. When the men threw frozen fish to the dogs, Buck ate slowly and politely as he always had at his former home. But before he could finish, a bigger dog named Spitz pushed him away and stole his food. That night, Buck went to bed hungry, learning an important lesson. The next day, he started eating quickly and shouting angrily at any dog that came near.
As weeks passed, Buck's body got used to the terrible environment. His once-soft paws grew hard and no longer hurt on the ice. His muscles became stronger from pulling the heavy sled daily. More importantly, his mind changed - he learned to read the other dogs’ behaviors and the men’ s orders. The spoiled (娇惯的) house pet from California was disappearing, replaced by a stronger, wiser survivor who understood the most important rule in the North: learn to play the game or you won't survive.

A. People have different opinions on this.
B. Should students use AI to help with writing?
C. However, others disagree with depending on AI for writing.
D. This is especially useful for those who have difficulty with basic language skills.
E. Moreover, using AI to help writing without truly understanding may lead to not enough real learning.
F. Only in this way can we improve our writing abilities and get real knowledge from the writing process.
With the rapid development of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly popular in our daily lives. One question that is often discussed is whether students should use AI to help with writing. 26
Some people believe that using AI for writing can bring several benefits. First, AI writing tools can offer grammar and spelling corrections immediately, helping students avoid common language mistakes. 27 Second, AI can provide inspiration(灵感) and suggestions for topics and structures. When students feel stuck, AI can offer different ideas and ways of thinking, which may help with creativity and improve the quality of their writing.
28 They worry that students may become overly dependent on these tools, losing their ability to think independently and express themselves freely. Writing is a process of organizing thoughts and emotions, and if students depend too much on AI-generated(AI 生成的) content, they miss the chance to practise and develop their own writing skills. 29 This goes against the purpose of education.
In my opinion, while AI can be a good helper, students should use it wisely. We can use AI to check grammar,get some inspiration, but we must make sure that the basic ideas and the whole writing process are our own. 30
