  Reading is the key to school success and 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.A great athlete practices until he can play quickly, accurately, without thinking.Tennis players call that “being in the zone”.Educators call it “automatically”.

  A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words.With practice, he stumbles less and less.Then automatically, he doesn’t have to think about the meanings of the words, so he can concentrate on 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 automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests.“It’s not IQ but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity, ” according to Rossman.You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud-something unfamiliar but appropriate to his age.If he reads aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader.If he reads haltingly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.

本文是議論文。文章說明閱讀是獲得學(xué)業(yè)成功的關(guān)鍵,閱讀需要實踐。根據(jù)Rossman的研究,人們自覺性閱讀的能力是在實踐中逐漸養(yǎng)成的。

答案:1.B;2.D;3.A;4.A;5.C;
解析:

(1)

本題為主旨題,見第一段。第一句便點明了閱讀是學(xué)習(xí)成功的關(guān)鍵,緊接著用小孩學(xué)步的例子來做形象的比喻,這些都是為了解釋什么叫做automaticity.A、C、D項均為所舉的例子。

(2)

本題為推斷題,見第二段。在文中可以找到,只有當(dāng)孩子不需要去思考每個單詞的意思時,才能做到自主性閱讀。A、B、C項只是要讓孩子達(dá)到D項的階段所必須的三個步驟。

(3)

本題形式為推斷題,實際為理解題,見第三段。最后一句話說,具有自主性閱讀能力的讀者比其他的讀者閱讀速度快,且得的分?jǐn)?shù)高。B項文中沒有做這樣的比較;C項文中參與比較的都是一年級的學(xué)生;D項文中也沒有做這樣的比較。

(4)

本題為推斷題,見第三段。第一句說掌握自主性學(xué)習(xí)能力的關(guān)鍵在于學(xué)生花多少時間閱讀而不在于智商的高低。B、C項都不是決定因素;D項文中沒有提到。

(5)

本題為推斷題,見第三段。第二句說測試孩子自主性閱讀能力的方法是讓孩子讀一兩段,這些段落他們應(yīng)該不太熟悉卻又要適合他們。A項并不是不熟悉的;B項不符合要適合他們的條件;D項應(yīng)選取段落而不是句子。
