作业3
A
Last summer at a bookstore，my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s middle-grade trilogy(三部曲).He then finished it in just two days.“Dad，why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad？” He tearfully asked me.
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的儿子阅读《荒岛机器人》三部曲的体验和感悟。
Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读
The story is set on a remote island，where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island’s creatures，and becomes part of the community.For my son，it was the first book he discovered on his own，the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy(悲剧) and joy.
When I finished the book，I knew why Henry loved it.In our book club discussion，he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real.When talking about its final scenes，where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body，Henry cried again.His previous reading experiences had cheerful，“happily-ever-after” endings，but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions.I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments，but failed to fully convince him.
Once our discussion ended，Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it.He read the first two books repeatedly，so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait.Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat：“the poison tide”.Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas—not just happiness and sadness，but also，given the climate-change undercurrents，hope and despair.
And，here’s something special about Roz：her physical clumsiness and confusion about life，conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth.Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place，much like a child’s journey.Readers love Roz.They learn from her.Even better，they learn alongside her.Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts，getting him ready to appreciate that，sometimes，sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel.
1.What drove the author to read The Wild Robot
A.Its tragic ending.
B.Henry’s tearful recommendation.

Like many people over the past few years，I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature.I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting.My consumption of new books has doubled as a result—but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension.
语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕作者使用有声书作为阅读方式的经历和体验展开，并引入了一项关于信息处理方式的研究，以此为基础探讨了过于依赖感觉对信息处理产生的影响。
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel，both at the University of Chicago，and it draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing.According to this view，we have two ways of assessing information.System 1 is intuitive(直觉的)，relying on natural ability and feeling.It is quick，but likely exposed to misinformation.System 2 is analytical involving the use of logic reasoning.It is mentally demanding.When it is engaged，we think our way through the material step by step.
For decades，psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two systems a person is using.As one example，consider the following question：How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark(方舟)？If you answered two，you were probably only considering the core of the question，which is System 1 thinking.To get to the right answer—zero，you need to think more carefully about the wording，which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark，not Moses.That is the kind of analytical process.
Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form—seeing vs.hearing—of the information would make a difference.They found that it did：when answering these kinds of simple questions，participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud，rather than written.
A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical study.For this reason，I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my ears.But I won’t stop listening to novels.I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.
5.What does the author think of listening to audiobooks
A.It is economical.
B.It is demanding.
C.It is time-consuming.
D.It is relaxing.
√
观点态度题。根据第一段中“Like many people over the past few years，I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature.I find it far more comfortable to ‘read with my ears’ while my eyes are resting.”以及最后一段中“But I won’t stop listening to novels.I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.”可知，作者认为听有声读物会让人放松。故选D。
解析
6.Which of the following best describes System 2 model
A.Relatively reliable. B.Fully automatic.
C.Question-centered. D.Emotion-involved.
推理判断题。根据第二段中“System 2 is analytical involving the use of logic reasoning.It is mentally demanding.When it is engaged，we think our way through the material step by step.”和第三段的“To get to the right answer...That is the kind of analytical process.”可推知，System 2模式相对可靠。故选A。
解析
√
7.Why is the Ark mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To present a fact.
B.To illustrate a view.
C.To introduce a topic.
D.To draw a conclusion.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中“As one example...How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark(方舟)？If you answered two...which is System 1 thinking.To get to the right answer—zero，you need to think more carefully about the wording...That is the kind of analytical process.”可知，作者提到方舟是为了举例说明一个观点，即System 1和System 2在处理信息时的不同方式。故选B。
解析
8.What does the author intend to tell us
A.Listening to books comes at a price.
B.Reading non-fiction books benefits.
C.Critical thinking is a must in reading.
D.Ways of processing information differ.
√
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，尽管听书让作者增加了阅读量，但研究结果显示，听书在处理某些信息时可能不如阅读书面材料准确。特别是对于那些需要逻辑研究的信息，听书可能导致更多的错误。因此，作者认为听书是有代价的，特别是在理解方面。故选A。
