13、al it is!. 阅读理解A13、 Is It Better to Read Books or Listen to Them?We often think how fast we learn something depends on how smart we are. If your brain is taking in material quickly, youre clever; if not, well, that doesnt say great things about your IQ. But science shows context (上下文) and technique

14、(技术) actually play a big role in how fast we learn, and even small changes like the way you use to read can make a big difference.Audio (音频的) books have plenty of advantages: you can enjoy them anywhere, even in the car, and not printing books saves trees. Poor readers also often find them more inte

15、resting. But according to the latest research, if your goal isnt to pass the time in traffic, but instead to learn something difficult, you should choose a physical book.In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times, psychology (心理学) professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010 study where 48 st

16、udents either read or listened to an article about child psychology. Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the same number of distracting (分散注意力) activities while they absorbed the information, they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later. Gene

17、rally, the readers scored 81 percent but while the listeners scored 59 percent. Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?Willingham explains that first, most of us read more slowly than we listen (especially when pausing and rereading), and when youre trying to abs

18、orb new information, slower seems to be better. “About 10 to 15 percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive meaning the eyes are going back and re-checking,” he explains to TIME. “This happens very quickly”Second, books offer visual cues (可视线索) that help our brains organize and u

19、nderstand new information. Things like chapter breaks, subheadings, and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together. You lose all that when you go the audio way.The bottom line is simple: Dont feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book.

20、However, be aware of audios limitations when it comes to studying, and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.1According to the writer, you should choose to read a book to _.Atake in the informationBpass the time in trafficClearn something difficultDorganize new information2A

21、 “physical book” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.Aan audio bookBa book about physicsCa book about computerDa book made of paper or cloth3What can we learn from the passage?ATo read a book is better than to listen to it.BReaders are cleverer than listeners.CReading books is a good way to pass time.

24、ks any more. More and more people drive. Students used to walk 5 miles to school every day, even in winter. But nowadays students dont. And in school, children dont have to think any more. In math class, for example, they used to add, subtract, multiply and divide(加减乘除)in their heads. Instead, they

25、use calculators.And people today have TVs and computers, and they dont talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think.Life used to be simple, but it isnt any more.1What does my grandfather think of the life now?AHe thinks the life now is very good.BHe thin

32、 He practiced speaking in front of a mirror every day. Later, he got a score of 39 on the test. Liu Tianyou, 14, from Beijing Yuying Middle School, has his own way to prepare for the spoken English test.
