正确答案: B


Dyslexia is a problem that restricts the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools in the Boston area.

They studied in the schools with kindergartens. And for all the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a specialmachine, to show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or otherproblems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. And with reading problems, early identification is important. When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the more effective they are.

Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers, the less treatment can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks.

While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go.

1.Dyslexia affects the part of brain concerning ________.

A. eyesight B. intelligence C. language D. emotion

2.Dyslexia problems are more likely to be identified through ________.

A. speech contests B. reading efficiency

B. A learning disorder involving one’s intelligence.

C. Dyslexia — a problem affecting one’s reading and writing.

考题 单选题Passage1Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools.But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven inefective. The staying power of the look-sayor whole-wordmethod of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed, learning how to learn activities recommended by advocates of open classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these Run-Spot-Run readers.However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called the great debatein beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Can't Read, Flesch indicted the nation's public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said-and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dyksta later confirmed-that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics, is far superior.Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.One major difference between the look-saymethod of learning reading and the phonics method is________A look-say is simplerB phonics takes longer to learnC look-say is easier to teachD phonics gives readers access to far more words正确答案:A解析:

考题 共用题干 Help Your Child Become a ReaderEncouraging early reading skills can build a path to a lifelong(终身的)love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school.While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills,there are many techniques that can help.Make reading fun.Play games with your child as you read.Many traditional children's games can be adapted to encourage reading skills.While reading or during play,tell your child,"I spy with my little eye,something that begins with the letter b."Help the child find something on the page or in the room that begins with that letter.For example,"I see a barn."This can also be used to teach beginning letter sounds."I spy with my little eye,something that begins with the sound 's'."Help the child find a word that begins with the"s"sound.In this variation on the popular game,instruct the child that,"Simon says, 'point to something that starts with the letter n."'The child can then find an object in the room or a body part,such as the nose,that starts with the letter presented.This can also be used to teach beginning sounds.Make a game out of rhyming(押韵)words by making up silly words to rhyme with the child's name or favorite toys.This sets the stage for rhyming real words by showing the child the similarities of sounds.As the child masters making up the words,begin rhymingreal words to one another.Tips to raise a successful reader:Put books in places where the child plays.If books are easily accessible,children are more likely to pick them up.Let children"read to you"by looking at pictures.Making up stories to go along with illustrations helps children discover how words relate to pictures.Take books along on trips or even short visits to the doctor's office or grocery store. Have children help you shop.Reading grocery lists and looking for specific items helps build sight vocabulary. Computer games can be used to help children develop their reading skills.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned答案:C解析:
