第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）
第一节（共19小题；每小题2.5分，满分47.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The concept of an art museum is easy enough: that is about art. There are those rare museums focused largely or entirely on the work of just one person. Those senses can be all the richer when you know the museum is the artist’s birthplace or onetime home. Here are four examples of such museums.
Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
611 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington
781-641-0747
The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the sculptor’s works are. His “Appeal to the Great Spirit”, an example of the many sculptures Dallin made relating to Native Americans, stands in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington (Texas) for the final four decades of his life.
Norman Rockwell Museum
9 Glendale Road, Stockbridge
413-298-4100, www.nrm.org
Rockwell (1894-1978) moved to Stockbridge in 1953. By then he was already America’s best-known illustrator (插图画家). The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present, Robert A. M. Stern-designed building in 1993．Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell’s art.
Kids 6 and under FREE, adults $20, students with ID: $10.
Edward Gorey House
8 Strawberry Lane, Yarmouth Port
508-362-3909
Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was an artist but, he was other things as well: author, playwright, set and costume designer. Gorey purchased this 18th-century house in 1979 and lived there the rest of his life. The house currently serves as a museum celebrating Gorey’s life and work. It’s also known as the Elephant House. That’s appropriate, in light of Gorey’s passion for animal welfare.
Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum
815 Gilbert Stuart Road, Saunderstown, R. I.
401-294-3001
Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist. His portrait (画像) of George Washington is the basis of the first president’s image on the dollar bill. As one of the early Republic’s most distinguished artists, Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits over the course of his career.
36．What is the feature these four museums have in common
A．They are all very small and new.
B．They offer rare exhibits in the world.
C．They attract a large number of artists around the world.
D．They all involve a single individual’s works of art.
37．What can we learn about Cyrus E. Dallin
A．He is a world-known sculptor.
B．Few people know his masterpiece.
C．He lived in Utah for his last 40 years.
D．His artworks had a lot to do with Native Americans.
38．Where will you go if you are interested in stage and clothes

C．611 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington.
D．815 Gilbert Stuart Road, Saunderstown, R. I.

My first shopping in a general store was in Miss Bee’s when I spent the summer with my grandmother in New York.
“Go get them yourself.” Miss Bee said, ignoring the shopping list held up before her nose. “I’m not your servant, so just get yourself a basket from that pile over there and start filling.”
It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found the first item on my list—a pork can placed between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper, and Band-Aids, found next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic behind the peanut butter.
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer. Sometimes she short-changed me. Other times she overcharged or sold me an old newspaper instead of a current one. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma’s house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee’s like General Patton marching into North Africa.
All summer long she found ways to trip me up. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda (小苏打) and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelves and made me hunt for it all over again. By summer’s end, however, the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.
The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stopped in to tell her that she was mean. To my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, but when you get older you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”
I thought the idea was absurd until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles.
“It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me ”
“If I do it for you how will you ever learn to do it yourself ” I said.
Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to tally up (结算) my bill along with the cashier. As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago I took out some scrap paper and started writing.
39．Why did the writer spend a long time doing her first shopping in the general store
A．She was too young to remember all the items on the list.
B．Miss Bee didn’t treat her kindly.
C．Her grandmother asked her to buy too many things.
D．She was not familiar with the disorderly shop.
40．What did the writer mean when comparing herself to “General Patton” in Paragraph 4
A．She was well prepared and full of confidence.
B．She was very aggressive, taking Miss Bee as the enemy..
C．Going shopping in the store was a challenge to her.
D．Going shopping was so fan that it was like playing a war game.
41．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 probably suggest
A．The writer would benefit from the experience of shopping in Miss Bee’s.
B．The writer would find shopping in Miss Bee’s store very interesting.
C．The writer would be happy to meet Miss Bee again later in life.
D．The writer would realize that Miss Bee could become her friend.
42．At the end of the story, the writer might write down the following EXCEPT ______
A．Don’t be so quick to judge other people
B．The best teacher isn’t only in school
C．Stick to your dream whatever happens
D．Things can be learned in daily routines
C
In our daily lives, we spend a lot more time typing on a keyboard than writing with pencil and pen, so does handwriting still offer anything useful
Researchers tasked 42 adult volunteers with learning the Arabic letters from beginning: Some through writing it out on paper, some through typing it out on a keyboard, and some through watching and responding to video instructions. Those in the handwriting group not only learned the unfamiliar letters more quickly, but they were also better able to apply their new knowledge in other areas—by using the letters to make new words and to recognize words they hadn’t seen before, for example.
The real question is: Are there other benefits to handwriting that have to do with reading and spelling and understanding
While writing, typing, and visual learning were effective at teaching participants to recognize Arabic letters—learners made very few mistakes after six exercise sessions—on average, the writing group needed fewer sessions to get to a good standard.
Researchers then tested the groups to see how the learning could be generalized. In every follow-up test, using skills they hadn’t been trained on, the writing group performed the best: naming letters, writing letters, spelling words, and reading words.
While 42 people isn’t a huge sample size for a study of this type, the trends reported by the study indicate that pen and paper still have an important role to play in learning, even as digital: formats (格式) have come to control our communications. And although adults were used in this particular experiment, the researchers say their findings should have relevance to children too. Several previous studies have also highlighted the advantages of copying as an aid to learning.
Today pupils in schools spend far less time than they used to on handwriting skills and practice, for obvious reasons—but based on what this study shows, it wouldn’t be wise to put away the pens and pencils permanently. Because with writing, you’re getting a stronger representation in your mind that lets you support other types of tasks that don’t in any way involve handwriting.
43．How did the researchers get the conclusion
A．By making comparison. B．By studying document.
C．By asking volunteers. D．By watching videos.
44．In which part handwriting performs the best
A．Communicating with others. B．Reviewing the previous skills.
C．Learning a new language. D．Setting an example to kids.
45．Why do pupils spend less time than they used to on handwriting skills
A．They don’t like pencils and paper.
B．The digital tools are more powerful today.
C．Handwriting has nothing to do with study.
D．Nobody forces them to practice handwriting skills.
46．What might be the most suitable title for the text
A．Put down your keyboard. B．The pen will replace computers.
C．Handwriting is out of time now. D．Handwriting is better in learning.
D
A build-it-yourself solar still (蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid. is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U. S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5’ × 5’ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to di g a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up —and out —the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone (圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
47．What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph
A．It’s delicate. B．It’s expensive. C．It’s complex. D．It’s portable.
48．What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The tube. B．The still. C．The hole. D．The cup.
49．What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still
A．Dig a hole of a certain size. B．Put the cup in place.
C．Weight the sheet’s center down. D．Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
50．When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from ______
A．the plastic tube B．outside the hole C．the open air D．beneath the sheet
E
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love. Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature What are the sources of character And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines (学科) Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of appearance attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his ta le into science.
51．The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to
A．illustrate where science can be applied
B．demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new book
C．remind the reader of the importance of science
D．explain why many writers use science in their works
52．According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book
A．Its strong basis. B．Its convincing points.
C．Its clear writing. D．Its memorable characters.
53．What is the author’s general attitude towards the book
A．Contradictory. B．Supportive. C．Cautious. D．Critical.
54．What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph
A．Problems with the book. B．Brooks’s life experience.
C．Death of the characters. D．Brooks’s translation skills.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Something that is interactive involves input or actions on the part of the user. Interactive reading thus requires some action or involvement on the part of the reader. 55
Elementary school teachers expose their students to various forms of interactive reading. 56 Interactive learning materials such as online games, virtual books with interactive skill-building exercises, videos provide additional involvement be-von d the text.
57 Adults have the ability to learn online from a variety of interactive media. Newspaper and magazine websites are primary examples. Through online content, publishers encourage readers to go beyond the printed text or online articles. Readers can comment, provide feedback or attend online seminars.
The use of interactive learning materials is commonly associated with technology. In actuality, encouraging the physical interaction of readers with the text they read is not a new concept. 58 The early form of interactive reading sought to engage children with manipulative (控制的) components to illustrate concepts and complex systems.
59 Readers become an integral part of their own absorption of information with the use of multimedia tools, online content and various interactions. Publishers encourage readers to get involved with the materials printed by providing an ever-expanding menu of options for further understanding and enjoyment. Websites, blogs, user-generated wikis, online games and e-books are just a few examples of what is available in terms of interactive learning` materials and options.
A．It is not hard to understand the concept of interactive reading.
B．School-age children are not the only ones to benefit from interactive reading.
C．Modern technology allows for a far deeper and broader us c of interactive media.
D．In short, interactive reading encourages the reader to do more than simply read printed text.
E．In these examples, the action of the reader influences or enhances his or her experience of a text.
F．Pop-up books with movable elements and additional content appeared in Victorian-era learning materials.
G．Teachers use a variety of tools, methods and interactive lessons to increase retention of topics and further learning.

A
The concept of an art museum is easy enough: that is about art. There are those rare museums focused largely or entirely on the work of just one person. Those senses can be all the richer when you know the museum is the artist’s birthplace or onetime home. Here are four examples of such museums.
Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
611 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington
781-641-0747
The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the sculptor’s works are. His “Appeal to the Great Spirit”, an example of the many sculptures Dallin made relating to Native Americans, stands in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington (Texas) for the final four decades of his life.
Norman Rockwell Museum
9 Glendale Road, Stockbridge
413-298-4100, www.nrm.org
Rockwell (1894-1978) moved to Stockbridge in 1953. By then he was already America’s best-known illustrator (插图画家). The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present, Robert A. M. Stern-designed building in 1993．Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell’s art.
Kids 6 and under FREE, adults $20, students with ID: $10.
Edward Gorey House
8 Strawberry Lane, Yarmouth Port
508-362-3909
Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was an artist but, he was other things as well: author, playwright, set and costume designer. Gorey purchased this 18th-century house in 1979 and lived there the rest of his life. The house currently serves as a museum celebrating Gorey’s life and work. It’s also known as the Elephant House. That’s appropriate, in light of Gorey’s passion for animal welfare.
Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum
815 Gilbert Stuart Road, Saunderstown, R. I.
401-294-3001
Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist. His portrait (画像) of George Washington is the basis of the first president’s image on the dollar bill. As one of the early Republic’s most distinguished artists, Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits over the course of his career.
36．What is the feature these four museums have in common
A．They are all very small and new.

My first shopping in a general store was in Miss Bee’s when I spent the summer with my grandmother in New York.
“Go get them yourself.” Miss Bee said, ignoring the shopping list held up before her nose. “I’m not your servant, so just get yourself a basket from that pile over there and start filling.”
It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found the first item on my list—a pork can placed between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper, and Band-Aids, found next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic behind the peanut butter.
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer. Sometimes she short-changed me. Other times she overcharged or sold me an old newspaper instead of a current one. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma’s house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee’s like General Patton marching into North Africa.
All summer long she found ways to trip me up. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda (小苏打) and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelves and made me hunt for it all over again. By summer’s end, however, the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.
The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stopped in to tell her that she was mean. To my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, but when you get older you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”
I thought the idea was absurd until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles.
“It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me ”
“If I do it for you how will you ever learn to do it yourself ” I said.
Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to tally up (结算) my bill along with the cashier. As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago I took out some scrap paper and started writing.
39．Why did the writer spend a long time doing her first shopping in the general store
A．She was too young to remember all the items on the list.
B．Miss Bee didn’t treat her kindly.
C．Her grandmother asked her to buy too many things.
D．She was not familiar with the disorderly shop.
40．What did the writer mean when comparing herself to “General Patton” in Paragraph 4
A．She was well prepared and full of confidence.
B．She was very aggressive, taking Miss Bee as the enemy..
C．Going shopping in the store was a challenge to her.
D．Going shopping was so fan that it was like playing a war game.
41．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 probably suggest
A．The writer would benefit from the experience of shopping in Miss Bee’s.
B．The writer would find shopping in Miss Bee’s store very interesting.
C．The writer would be happy to meet Miss Bee again later in life.
D．The writer would realize that Miss Bee could become her friend.
42．At the end of the story, the writer might write down the following EXCEPT ______
A．Don’t be so quick to judge other people
B．The best teacher isn’t only in school
C．Stick to your dream whatever happens
D．Things can be learned in daily routines
C
In our daily lives, we spend a lot more time typing on a keyboard than writing with pencil and pen, so does handwriting still offer anything useful
Researchers tasked 42 adult volunteers with learning the Arabic letters from beginning: Some through writing it out on paper, some through typing it out on a keyboard, and some through watching and responding to video instructions. Those in the handwriting group not only learned the unfamiliar letters more quickly, but they were also better able to apply their new knowledge in other areas—by using the letters to make new words and to recognize words they hadn’t seen before, for example.
The real question is: Are there other benefits to handwriting that have to do with reading and spelling and understanding
While writing, typing, and visual learning were effective at teaching participants to recognize Arabic letters—learners made very few mistakes after six exercise sessions—on average, the writing group needed fewer sessions to get to a good standard.
Researchers then tested the groups to see how the learning could be generalized. In every follow-up test, using skills they hadn’t been trained on, the writing group performed the best: naming letters, writing letters, spelling words, and reading words.
While 42 people isn’t a huge sample size for a study of this type, the trends reported by the study indicate that pen and paper still have an important role to play in learning, even as digital: formats (格式) have come to control our communications. And although adults were used in this particular experiment, the researchers say their findings should have relevance to children too. Several previous studies have also highlighted the advantages of copying as an aid to learning.
Today pupils in schools spend far less time than they used to on handwriting skills and practice, for obvious reasons—but based on what this study shows, it wouldn’t be wise to put away the pens and pencils permanently. Because with writing, you’re getting a stronger representation in your mind that lets you support other types of tasks that don’t in any way involve handwriting.
43．How did the researchers get the conclusion
A．By making comparison. B．By studying document.
C．By asking volunteers. D．By watching videos.
44．In which part handwriting performs the best
A．Communicating with others. B．Reviewing the previous skills.
C．Learning a new language. D．Setting an example to kids.
45．Why do pupils spend less time than they used to on handwriting skills
A．They don’t like pencils and paper.
B．The digital tools are more powerful today.
C．Handwriting has nothing to do with study.
D．Nobody forces them to practice handwriting skills.
46．What might be the most suitable title for the text
A．Put down your keyboard. B．The pen will replace computers.
C．Handwriting is out of time now. D．Handwriting is better in learning.
D
A build-it-yourself solar still (蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid. is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U. S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5’ × 5’ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to di g a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up —and out —the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone (圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
47．What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph
A．It’s delicate. B．It’s expensive. C．It’s complex. D．It’s portable.
48．What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The tube. B．The still. C．The hole. D．The cup.
49．What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still
A．Dig a hole of a certain size. B．Put the cup in place.
C．Weight the sheet’s center down. D．Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
50．When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from ______
A．the plastic tube B．outside the hole C．the open air D．beneath the sheet
E
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love. Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature What are the sources of character And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines (学科) Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of appearance attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his ta le into science.
51．The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to
A．illustrate where science can be applied
B．demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new book
C．remind the reader of the importance of science
D．explain why many writers use science in their works
52．According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book
A．Its strong basis. B．Its convincing points.
C．Its clear writing. D．Its memorable characters.
53．What is the author’s general attitude towards the book
A．Contradictory. B．Supportive. C．Cautious. D．Critical.
54．What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph
A．Problems with the book. B．Brooks’s life experience.
C．Death of the characters. D．Brooks’s translation skills.

Something that is interactive involves input or actions on the part of the user. Interactive reading thus requires some action or involvement on the part of the reader. 55
Elementary school teachers expose their students to various forms of interactive reading. 56 Interactive learning materials such as online games, virtual books with interactive skill-building exercises, videos provide additional involvement be-von d the text.
57 Adults have the ability to learn online from a variety of interactive media. Newspaper and magazine websites are primary examples. Through online content, publishers encourage readers to go beyond the printed text or online articles. Readers can comment, provide feedback or attend online seminars.
The use of interactive learning materials is commonly associated with technology. In actuality, encouraging the physical interaction of readers with the text they read is not a new concept. 58 The early form of interactive reading sought to engage children with manipulative (控制的) components to illustrate concepts and complex systems.
59 Readers become an integral part of their own absorption of information with the use of multimedia tools, online content and various interactions. Publishers encourage readers to get involved with the materials printed by providing an ever-expanding menu of options for further understanding and enjoyment. Websites, blogs, user-generated wikis, online games and e-books are just a few examples of what is available in terms of interactive learning` materials and options.
A．It is not hard to understand the concept of interactive reading.
B．School-age children are not the only ones to benefit from interactive reading.
C．Modern technology allows for a far deeper and broader us c of interactive media.
D．In short, interactive reading encourages the reader to do more than simply read printed text.
E．In these examples, the action of the reader influences or enhances his or her experience of a text.
F．Pop-up books with movable elements and additional content appeared in Victorian-era learning materials.
G．Teachers use a variety of tools, methods and interactive lessons to increase retention of topics and further learning.
