Asking 三、 阅读理解。 (共4题；共34分)12. （10分）阅读理解Reading is the key to school success and, like any other 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 call it “automaticity(自动性)”.A child learns to read by sounding the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase(短语). With automaticity, he doesnt have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as the 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(数量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 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 that is suitable (适合)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.（1）“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading . A . helps school develop fasterB . is a key to a successful schoolC . helps students go to a key schoolD . can improve students learning results（2）Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they . A . know how to read the wordsB . do not have to think while readingC . read by themselves without any helpD . pay attention to the meaning of the text（3）Rossman tells that any child who will possibly be an automatic reader. A . seldom turns off TVB . reads books by the word quicklyC . spends about an hour reading every dayD . gets the same grades as others in exams（4）The underlined word “stumbles” in the passage means “ ”in Chinese. A . 结结巴巴地读B . 全神贯注地读C . 心不在焉地读D . 声情并茂地读（5）The best title for the passage is“ ”. A . IQ Is the Key to the AutomaticityB . TV Is Bad for Childrens ReadingC . Automaticity Depends on PracticeD . Automatic Readers Will Be Successful13. （8分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。ATom walked into a shop.
