高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Do students learn as much when they read digitally as they do in print? Investigators have been trying to determine whether students do as well when reading an assigned text on a digital screen as on paper.

A number of researchers have sought to measure learning by asking people to read a passage of text, either in print or on a digital device, and then testing for comprehension.

Most studies have found that participants scored about the same when reading in each medium, though a few have indicated that students performed better on tests when they read in print.

Since in standardized testing, reading passages and answering questions afterwards may tell us little about any deeper level of understanding, some researchers are beginning to pose more subtle questions.

When people were asked to read d story in print or on a digital device and then to reconstruct the plot development, the answer is: Print yielded better results. When people were asked to read by choosing how much time to spend on each platform, the researchers found that participants devoted less time to reading the passage on screen and performed less well on the following comprehension test.

So, how does the learning question relate to educational goals?

To become skilled in critical thinking, students need to be able to handle text. The text may be long, complex or both. To make sense of it, students cannot skim, rush ahead or continually get distracted. So, docs reading in print versus on screen build critical thinking skills?

When asked in which medium they felt they concentrated better, 92 percent replied “print”. For long academic reading, 86 percent favored print Participants were also reported to be more likely to reread academic materials if they were in print

What’s more, a number of students indicated they believed print was a better medium for learning. By contrast, in talking about digital screens, students noted “danger of distraction” and “no concentration”.

Evidently, it’s not too hard to tell that a pattern did emerge: Print stood out as the medium for doing serious work.

1.What have the researchers asked participants to do on two reading media?

A. Participants are tested in standardized testing for critical thinking.

B. Participants are allowed to decide the time they spend on each platform.

C. Participants are asked to read a story and then compose a similar plot.

D. Participants are required to write a summary after skimming academic materials.

2.What do researchers find about reading medium?

A. Reading in print is more likely to form a deeper understanding.

B. In standardized reading test, print is distinctively better than screen.

C. Spending a little more time on screen, participants may have a better understanding.

D. Reading on screen is of no benefit to improving reading ability.

3.To achieve educational goals, how can we read a text better?

A. We should delete all the amusement apps from our cellphone.

B. We should read more attentively and be able to analyse the text.

C. We should be able to go through the most materials in the least time.

D. We should search for more documents on digital reading devices.

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

A. Studies on reading media

B. Printed reading: better for serious work

C. Digital screen or Printed paper? Reader decides.

D. Strike a balance on reading media

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Chinese people read less than eight books last year, including both print and e-books, but the average(平均) time spent on mobile reading has for the first time exceeded one hour per day, showed statistics(数据） published by Chinese Academy of Press and Publication on Monday.

This is the academy’s 13th report regarding Chinese people’s reading habits in 17 years. The survey looked at the reading habits of both adults and children from 0 – 80, placing them in four different age groups, across 29 provinces in China.

The number of print books the average person read last year was 4.58, which basically remained the same level as that in 2014. The figure is rather low compared with other countries, with France being 12, South Korea being 11, Japan being 9 and the US being about seven, according to a report by Xinhua last year.

However, in contrast to the tiny increase in books being read last year, people’s interest in mobile reading has seen a rise. The average time Chinese people spent reading on their cellphones is 62.21 minutes, which nearly doubles the previous year’s average time of 33.82 minutes.

And more people are reading via their WeChat app as well. The most popular social networking phone app in China has also been providing public account services, which allow people to read comparatively long articles using the app. In 2015, 51.9% Chinese adults had used WeChat to read, a 17.5% increase on 2014.

But does that mean e-reading is replacing traditional reading in China?

Wei Yushan, president of the Academy of Press and Publication told People’s Daily that it doesn’t seem likely to him. “Having gone through a rapid development between 2011 and 2013, e-books are seeing a slowdown in their sales. Taking the US as an example, the sales growth of e-books has fallen behind that of print books in the past year.” In China, nearly 60% of people still prefer traditional reading to e-reading.

1.What does the underlined word “exceeded” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. rejected

B. designed

C. outnumbered

D. explained

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. The time spent on e-reading is more than that on traditional reading.

B. Extra services have been provided to allow people to read short articles.

C. Compared with Chinese readers, the number of Americans is larger.

D. An increase in the interest of mobile reading has been seen.

3.How does the writer develop the text?

A. By giving explanations.

B. By analyzing reasons.

C. By listing figures(数据）.

D. By comparing books.

4.What does the last paragraph talk about?

A. All Chinese people like print books better.

B. Print books still gain popularity of readers.

C. The Sales of E-books have been improved.

D. Wei Yushan isn’t willing to give up e-reading.
