Question

【題目】Reading is the key to school success, and like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking.

Educators (教育家) call it "automaticity (自動性)”．

A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With more and more practice, he stumbles less and less. As a result, he can read by the phrases and soon by sentences. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so that he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.

It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.

According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 t0 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.

You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了閱讀是學(xué)習(xí)成功的關(guān)鍵。他像其他的技能一樣需要大量的練習(xí)。如果你能夠自動閱讀，那你將讀的更快，因為你把所有的注意力集中在短文的意義上。只有通過大量的練習(xí)才能形成自動閱讀。

【1】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第三段automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.描述可知在一年級自動讀者不僅閱讀幾乎是其他孩子的三倍,而且在考試中得到了更好的結(jié)果�？梢耘袛�，閱讀會提高成績，聯(lián)系所給四個選項的含義，故選D。

【2】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.描述在不知不覺中，他沒有必要再思考單詞的意義，所以他可以把他所有的注意力集中在短文的意義上。根據(jù)句意及上下文，故選B 。

【3】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Any child who spends at least 3.5 t0 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity.任何一個孩子每周至少花費3.5到4個小時看書，看雜志或看報紙，就有可能達到自動性。故選C。

【4】A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase聯(lián)系下文可知通過練習(xí)，他以短語的方式閱讀，他停頓的越來越少。即結(jié)結(jié)巴巴故選A。

【5】C標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)短文大意可知通過大量的閱讀練習(xí)你可以成為一個自動閱讀者。故選C。
