单元加餐练.阅读理解If you dont have time to read, you dont have time to write. The idea that we must be readers first in order to be writers is repeated throughout books on writing and is often the first piece of advice published authors give to ambitious novelists. “The more we read, the faster we can perform that magic trick of seeing how the letters have been combined into words that have meaning，” writes bestselling author Francine Prose in Reading Like a Writer.In a study done by the University of Florida, researchers surveyed students reading materials and habits. Upon analyzing their findings, the researchers concluded that students who read academic journals and literary fiction scored higher in terms of writing complexities (复杂事物) than those who read popular fiction or web content published on sites.However, Andrew Jarosz, a psychology professor at Mississippi State University, points out that this study had a relatively small sample size and says its too soon to draw the conclusion.“It could indeed be that reading complex materials leads to more complex writing，” he said. “Alternatively, what if those who are better writers prefer to read complex materials that mirror their own writing abilities? It is entirely possible that the relationship goes in the other direction.”Jarosz says other factors may also be responsible for why some people write at a higher level than others, including intelligence, working memory capacity and the ability to store and process information at the same time.Susan Reynolds, author of Fire Up Your Writing Brain, believes that deep reading thoughtful and slow reading thats rich in complexities and sensory details is essential for a better writer. She encourages writers to abandon television and commercial fiction and instead read poetry and literary fiction, which encourages a deeper reading. Research has found that deep reading is different from other types of reading when we skim for information.By reading, writers not only gather knowledge, but they also gain a better understanding of language, learn their writing styles, grow their vocabulary and most importantly, find inspiration.语篇解读：本文是说明文。本文主要讨论了阅读材料的复杂程度和类型影响着写作水平。1What is stressed in the first paragraph?AThe difficulties of writing books.BThe way of reading like a writer.CThe requirements for being a writer.DThe importance of reading for writers.解析：选D推理判断题。第一段中的“If you dont have time to read, you dont have time to write”和“we must be readers first in order to be writers”等都强调了要想写东西，阅读很重要。2What does the study done by the University of Florida suggest?AWriting ability mainly relies on reading time.BThe level of writing can reflect what one reads.CWhat a person reads is determined by his writing habits.DWriting ability can show ones academic achievements.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Upon analyzing their findings .read popular fiction or web content published on sites”可知，这项研究表明一个人的写作水平能够反映他所读的书。3What opinion does Andrew Jarosz hold?ANo writers can get help from simple materials.BBetter writers prefer to read complex materials.CSimple materials can also lead to better writers.DAll writers usually like reading simple materials.解析：选B观点态度题。根据“Alternatively, what if those who are better writers prefer to read complex materials that mirror their own writing abilities？”可知，他认为也可能是因为擅长写作的人喜欢阅读那些复杂的材料。4Whats the last but one paragraph mainly about?AWhat deep reading is.BGood materials to read.CWhy deep reading is good.DDifferent types of reading.解析：选A段落大意题。本段主要围绕deep reading展开，介绍了如何读和读什么才能被称为deep reading，故本段主要介绍了什么是deep reading。.阅读七选五Whats the biggest problem with memory skills? _1_ There are many memory skills that work well, but youll forget them when you need them most unless you make using them a habit. So when you take the time to learn a technique, use it until it becomes automatic.Here are some for you to have a try.Use a storylist. As a child, I went to a party. There was a game that involved looking at a table covered in fifteen various items._2_ Finally, one boy won the prize by remembering all fifteen items. Later, I learned why he won. His father taught him a simple trick that none of us other kids knew. The skill is to tie the items together in an imaginative story._3_ When you learn a persons name, for example, tell yourself, “Remember that.”This signals your unconscious (潜意识的) mind to rank this input as more important.Know why you want to remember something, and how youll remember it. To remember a person, for example, ask why theyll be important to you in the future, imagine where youll see them next, and connect that to anything you notice about them. Seeing the importance of remembering really helps._4_Do you ever forget where you put your keys？You have probably tried retracing (追溯) your steps, at least doing it in your imagination. _5_ When you set the keys on the chair, see yourself walk
