六、阅读理解。
新素材科普知识It appears that few young people read for fun these days in the UK. In a 2024 survey，almost one in four people aged 16—24 in the country said they didn’t read regularly. What does it mean? What kind of brain structure do good readers actually have?
New research published in the journal *NeuroImage* studied data from more than 1，000 people. The result shows differences in two parts of the brain’s left temporal lobe（左颞叶），which sits behind the left ear.
One is the lobe’s front part known as the temporal pole（颞极）that helps connect and sort different information. For example，to understand the word “leg”，this brain region links how legs look，feel，and move. In people who read well，the left temporal pole is thinner than the right. The other is the Heschl’s gyrus（赫氏回）. There lies the auditory cortex（听觉皮层）that processes（处理）sounds. Reading is not only mainly a visual skill. To match letters with speech sounds，we first need to notice the sounds of the spoken language. This phonological awareness（语音意识）has been known to make children’s reading development possible.
A thinner Heschl’s gyrus has been related to dyslexia（诵读困难），which makes reading very difficult. However，the difference in thickness isn’t just about dyslexia. It is also true that having a thicker auditory cortex is related to being better at reading.
Clearly，the structure of the brain can tell us a lot about reading skills. But it’s important to know that the brain changes when we learn something new or practise a skill we have had. For example，for young adults who studied languages a lot，the thickness of brain areas related to language increased. Similarly，reading is likely to shape the structure of the left Heschl’s gyrus. It’s necessary to consider what might happen to us if less attention is paid to reading. In other words，that cozy moment with a book in your armchair may not just be personal.
1. What do we know about the study published in *NeuroImage*?
A. It studied people aged 16—24 in the UK.
B. It studied people with reading problems.
C. It studied the ear structure of people who read.
D. It studied the brains of a large number of people.
2. What does the temporal pole do in the brain?
A. It links different body parts.
B. It connects and sorts information.
C. It helps analyze words.
D. It supports visual processing.
3. Why is the auditory cortex considered important for reading?
A. It builds awareness of speech sounds.
B. It controls how fast we read words.
C. It supports building reading habits.
D. It helps turn letters into images.
4. According to the study，what kind of structure may be found in a good reader’s brain?
A. A thinner left temporal pole and a thicker auditory cortex.
B. A thinner left temporal pole and a thinner auditory cortex.
C. A thicker left temporal pole and a thicker auditory cortex.
D. A thicker left temporal pole and a thinner auditory cortex.
5. Which of the following ideas does the result of the study support?
A. Less attention should be paid to skills like reading.
B. The structure of the brain decides reading skills.
C. Reading can change some parts of the brain.
D. Language learning strengthens the brain.
答案：六 1. D 2. B
3. A 【解析】根据第三段中“There lies the auditory cortex... notice the sounds of the spoken language. This phonological awareness has been known to make children's reading development possible.”可知，听觉皮层能够培
养人的语音意识，而这种意识对培养阅读能力很重要，所以听觉皮层对阅读是重要的。
4. A 【解析】根据第三段中“In people who read well, the left temporal pole is thinner than the right.”和第四段中“It is also true that having a thicker auditory cortex is related to being better at reading.”可知，一个阅读能力好的人的大脑结构可能是左颞极更薄，听觉皮层更厚。

六、阅读理解。
新素材 科普知识
如今在英国，似乎很少有年轻人为了乐趣而阅读。在2024年的一项调查中，该国16至24岁的人群中，几乎每四个人就有一个表示他们没有定期阅读。这意味着什么呢？优秀的阅读者实际上有着怎样的大脑结构呢？
发表在《神经影像》杂志上的一项新研究分析了1000多人的数据。结果显示，大脑左颞叶（位于左耳后方）的两个区域存在差异。
一个区域是颞叶的前部，被称为颞极，它有助于连接和整理不同的信息。例如，为了理解“腿”这个词，这个大脑区域会将腿的外观、触感和运动方式联系起来。在阅读能力强的人身上，左颞极比右颞极更薄。另一个区域是赫氏回。听觉皮层就位于这里，它负责处理声音。阅读不仅仅主要是一种视觉技能。为了将字母与语音对应起来，我们首先需要注意到口语的声音。众所周知，这种语音意识使儿童的阅读发展成为可能。
较薄的赫氏回与诵读困难有关，这会使阅读变得非常困难。然而，厚度的差异不仅仅与诵读困难有关。听觉皮层更厚也确实与阅读能力更强有关。
显然，大脑的结构能告诉我们很多关于阅读技能的信息。但重要的是要知道，当我们学习新东西或练习已有的技能时，大脑会发生变化。例如，对于大量学习语言的年轻人来说，与语言相关的大脑区域的厚度会增加。同样，阅读可能会塑造左赫氏回的结构。我们有必要考虑如果对阅读的关注减少，我们可能会发生什么。换句话说，你坐在扶手椅上拿着一本书的惬意时刻可能不只是个人的事情。
