Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.

While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children's lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.

According to the report's key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they 'hardly ever' read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”

The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.

When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.

The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.

As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.

1.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?           

A. Children's reading habits.                                B. Quality of children's books.

C. Children's after-class activities.                        D. Parent-child relationships.

2.Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?           

A. In paragraph 2.            B. In paragraph 3.            C. In paragraph 4.            D. In paragraph 5.

3.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?           

A. E-books are of poor quality.                            B. It could be a waste of time.

C. It may harm children's health.                         D. E-readers are expensive.

4.How should parents encourage their children to read more?           

A. Act as role models for them.                           B. Ask then to write book reports.

C. Set up reading groups for them.                     D. Talk with their reading class teachers.

I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.

I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say," I can't believe what's printed in the newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.

This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said," The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf," I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.

Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn't enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.

Now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don't have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.

We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.

1.Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom's hands?           

A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.

B. She couldn't wait to tear the newspaper apart.

C. She couldn't help but stop mom from reading.

D. She was eager to know what had happened.

2.According to Paragraph 3, the author's reading of road signs shows______.           

A. her own way to find herself

B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability

C. her growing desire to know the world around her

D. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules

3.The author takes novel reading as a way to______.           

A. explore a mysterious land                               B. develop an interest in learning

C. get away from a confusing world                   D. learn about the adult world

4.What could be the best title for the passage?           

A. The Pleasure of Reading                                  B. Growing Up with Reading

C. The Magic of Reading                                     D. Reading Makes a Full Man

C

    The march of technology may seem unstoppable, but all digital things may have a way to go before they replace the traditional bedtime book — the paper one. A new study shows that paper books arc better than e-books for bedtime reading. The study suggests that the good old printed book, with real pages that you turn with your fingers, makes parents and children interact more than they do when reading with an electronic book. Researchers from the University of Michigan studied how 37 pairs of parents and children interacted with e-books and paper books. The researchers found that with electronic books, parents asked their children fewer questions and shared fewer opinions about the story.

    The study involved observing parents and children (aged two or three) reading from three different book formats. These were printed books, basic e-books, and advanced e-books with pictures and sound effects. The researchers discovered that the parents and children interacted with each other less with both types of e-books than they did with the printed books. A researcher said that when they did speak, they preferred to talk about the device and the technology rather than focus on the story. More often, children would say things like, "Don't push that button (按钮)" or “Don't change the volume (音量)" instead of asking questions or making observations about the story.

（1）What book can make parents and children know each other better?           

A.Printed books.

B.Basic e-books.

C.Advanced e-books.

D.Bedtime books.

（2）What's the meaning of the underlined word interact in Paragraph 1?           

A.communicate

B.compete

C.disagree

D.agree

（3）What can be inferred from the second paragraph?           

A.E-books are better than paper books.

B.The researchers have read various books.

C.There are three different kinds of books in the world.

D.Printed books help people better understand the contents.

（4）What might a child say if he or she is reading e-books?           

A.Please turn off the light.

B.Please color the button.

C.Don't turn down the volume.

D.Don't pass the book to me.

    It is 2018; e-books are loved by many people. Do you read them?

    An e-book is an electronic book, which can be made from common books and loaded onto an e-reader. The e-reader is a mini-device, just like a cell-phone. It has a touch pad screen and can hold a few hundred e-books. People can read e-books on it just like they do a book. So it is possible for people to read anywhere with an e-reader. This is perfect news for people who love to read books but can't carry many.

    Another great thing is that people can read books on it quickly and there's no need for two hands to hold the book and turn pages. Most e-readers also have a nightlight, so you can read at night and don't wake your partner with a big light on.

    Not all book authors agree to make their books into e-books. The creator of Harry Potter says that her books will never be e-books. However, lots of authors absolutely love the idea and feel it's the next step to keep books alive.

    Nowadays e-books are sold in many websites, from where you can buy and load them onto your e-reader. Those websites look just like ordinary online bookstores and have a list of best sellers and a new book section. There is also a clear price on each e-book to make sure people can buy them like buying common books.

（1）According to the passage, we know ________.           

A. an e-book can be read through an e-reader

B. some e-readers don't have a touch pad and a nightlight

C. an e-reader is a certain book for people to read

A. there are many e-books                                  B. e-books are cheap

C. not all author love e-books                             D. many authors love e-books

C【答案】 （1）A

（2）A

（3）D

（4）C  

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，一项新的研究表明，纸质书更适合做睡前读物 ，它可以让父母与孩子之间拥有更多的沟通与交流，虽然技术的进步看起来不可阻挡，但是电子书取代传统的纸质书可能还有很长的路要走。

 （1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“The study suggests that the good old printed book, with real pages that you turn with your fingers, makes parents and children interact more than they do when reading with an electronic book.”可知，一本好的纸质书给父母和孩子带来的互动比使用电子书阅读时带来的互动更多。因此，纸质书可以使父母和孩子更好地了解彼此。故选A。

 （2）考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“The researchers found that with electronic books, parents asked their children fewer questions and shared fewer opinions about the story.”可知，研究人员发现，有了电子书，父母对孩子的提问减少了，对故事发表的看法减少了。这意味着在孩子使用电子书阅读时父母和孩子的沟通互动变少了，因此interact这个词意为“沟通、交流”。故选A。

 （3）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“The researchers discovered that the parents and children interacted with each other less with both types of e-books than they did with the printed books.” 和 “children would say things like,‘Don't push that button （按钮）’ or ‘Don't change the volume （音量）’ instead of asking questions or making observations about the story”可知，与纸质书相比，使用电子书进行阅读，父母和孩子之间的互动比阅读纸质书时要少，即便在交流时，说的往往不是阅读的内容，而是将注意力放在了设备之上。因此纸质书可以帮助人们更好地理解书的内容。故选D。

 （4）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“More often, children would say things like, ‘Don't push that button （按钮）’ or ‘Don't change the volume （音量）’ instead of asking questions or making observations about the story.”可知，孩子们更喜欢谈论设备和技术，而不再关注阅读内容。孩子们通常会说诸如“不要按那个按钮”或“不要改变音量”之类的东西，而不是问有关于阅读内容的问题。所以如果一个孩子在看电子书，他或她会说不要把音量调小。故选C。

 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

D【答案】 （1）A

（2）D

（3）C

（4）A  

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了什么是电子书以及电子书的优点等等。

（1）考查细节理解。根据 第二段中的“People can read e-books on it just like they do a book.”中的it指代的是e-reader，根据这句话可知可以通过电子阅读器来阅读电子书，故选A。

（2）考查 细节理解。根据第二段中的“So it is possible for people to read anywhere with an e-reader”.可知选项A正确；根据第二段中的“It has a touch pad screen and can hold a few hundred e-books.”可知选项B正确；根据第三段中的“Another great thing is that people can read books on it quickly and there's no need for two hands to hold the book and turn pages.”可知选项C是正确的。选项D文章没有提及，故选D。

（3）考查目的意图。根据第四段中的“Not all book authors agree to make their books into e-books.”先提到不是所有的作者都同意把他们的书变成电子书，然后列举了Harry Potter这个例子，所以Harry Potter这个例子是为了说明不是所有的作者都喜欢电子书，故选C。

（4）考查细节理解。 根据最后一段中的“Nowadays e-books are sold in many websites, from where you can buy and load them onto your e-reader.”可知我们可以从一些网站上购买电子书，故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和目的意图两个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，要求考生准确捕捉细节信息，同时根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行概括归纳，从而选出正确答案。

VII 【答案】 plants；whom；routinely；attraction(s)；to go；with；a；confident；building；is managed  

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了《我们爱阅读》这个节目的内容，以及通过这个节目，给孩子和家长带来了哪些帮助。

 （1）考查时态。句意：《我们爱阅读》是一个培养孩子们对阅读的热爱的节目。首先判定句子时态，本句描述的是节目的属性，为客观事实，应用一般现在时。其次本句为定语从句，先行词为programme，that引导定语从句，先行词代入定语从句中作句子主语且为可数名词单数形式，所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填plants。

 （2）考查定语从句。句意：节目重点培训成年人，他们中的大多数是当地的志愿者。本句为非限制性定语从句，先行词是adults，指人，且从句引导词位于介词of后面，所以应用whom。故填whom。

 （3）考查副词。句意：在他们街区的公共场所举办朗读会，在那孩子们通常可以大声朗读，彼此之间交换书籍。空格处单词是用来修饰大声朗读和交换书籍这两个动作的，应用副词，故填routinely。

 （4）考查名词。句意：研究表明，参加《我们爱阅读》节目的朗诵会的孩子中，有百分之八十已经看到了读书的吸引力。the attraction(s) of…固定短语，“……的吸引力”，故填attraction(s)。

 （5）考查非谓语动词。句意：这些孩子更愿意回到学校，因为他们把阅读和快乐联系在一起。be willing to do sth.固定短语，“愿意做某事”，故填to go。

 （6）考查介词。句意：这些孩子更愿意回到学校，因为他们把阅读和快乐联系在一起。associate…with…固定短语，“把……和……相联系”，故填with。

 （7）考查冠词。句意：因此他们在学校表现得更好，而且变得更加自信。as a consequence 固定短语，“因此”，故填a。

 （8）考查形容词。句意：因此他们在学校表现得更好，而且变得更加自信。空格所在句为系表结构，应该用形容词的比较级作become的表语,故填confident。

 （9）考查非谓语动词。句意：《我们爱阅读》也影响了亲子关系，通过阅读来建立两代人之间理解和沟通的桥梁。by是介词，意为“通过”，后接动名词作宾语，故填building。

 （10）考查时态语态。句意：《我们爱阅读》是有作用的并且能够持续很长时间，因为它是被当地志愿者管理并拥有的。首先判断时态，本句是对客观事实的介绍，应用一般现在时。再判断语态，空格前的代词it指代《我们爱阅读》节目，与manage管理的动作是被动关系，即节目被志愿者管理，所以应该用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is managed。

 【点评】本题考点涉及时态，定语从句，副词，名词，非谓语动词，介词，冠词，形容词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。

 ①考查连词。句意：4月23日是世界读书日，这提醒我们阅读的重要性。April 23rd is World Reading Day与this reminds us of the importance of reading是两个完整句子，故用 and连接，或用定语从句，故答案为：this前加and或this改为which。

 ②考查介词。句意：我们应该在那个特殊的日子多读一读。在具体的某一天要用介词on，故答案为：in改为on。

 ③考查代词。句意：但是，我们现在阅读的情况并不令人满意。for为介词，后接代词宾格，故答案为：we改为us。

 ④考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，当我们在家的时候，我们宁愿看电视或上网也不愿看书。would rather do sth. 固定短语，”宁愿做......“，故答案为：去掉rather 后的to。

 ⑤考查副词。句意：结果，我们在书上花的时间太少了。little+名词要用so来修饰，故such改为so。

 ⑥考查主谓一致。句意：然而，读书有很多优点。reading books为动名词短语作主语，谓语动词用单数吗，故答案为：have改为has。

 ⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：我们的能力和技能不仅可以提高，而且我们可以从阅读中得到一些信息。本句为倒装句，主语our abilities and skills与动词improve之间存在被动关系，故答案为：improving改为improved。
