问题     Recent research revealed that "deep reading"—defined as reading that is slow, immersive, rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity—is distinctive from light reading—little more than the decoding of words. Deep reading occurs when the language is rich in detail, allusion, and metaphor, and taps into the same brain regions that would activate if the reader were experiencing the event.【B11】____________
    It also offers writers a way to appreciate all the qualities that make novels fascinating and meaningful— and to tap into his ability to write on a deeper level.
    Light reading is equated to what one might read in online blogs, or "headline news" or "entertainment news" websites, particularly those that breezily rely on lists or punchy headlines, and even occasionally use emojis to communicate.【B12】_____________
    Deep reading activates our brain’s centers for speech, vision, and hearing, all of which work together to help us speak, read, and write.【B13】______________They are wired together by a band of fibres, and this interconnectivity likely helps writers mimic and synchronize with language and rhythms they encounter while reading. Your reading brain senses a cadence that accompanies more complex writing, which your brain then seeks to emulate when writing.
    In an article published in the Journal of Consciousness Studies, researchers reported finding activity in a "reading network" of brain areas that were activated in response to any written material. In addition, more emotionally charged writing aroused several regions in the brain (primarily on the right side) that respond to music.【B14】_______________When volunteers read their favorite poems, areas of the brain associated with memory were stimulated more strongly than "reading areas," indicating that reading poems you love is the kind of recollection that evokes strong emotions—and strong emotions are always good for creative writing.
    Recent researches also revealed that literary fiction provokes thought, contemplation, expansion, and integration. Reading literary fiction stimulates cognition beyond the brain functions related to reading, say, magazine articles, interviews, or most online nonfiction reporting.
    【B15】_________________________________________________
    If you’re serious about becoming a better writer, spend lots of time deep reading literary fiction and poetry and articles on science or art that feature complex language and that require your lovely brain to think.
    [A]  These types of reading lack a genuine voice, a viewpoint, or the sort of analyses that might stimulate thought. It’s breezy reading that you can skim through and will likely forget within minutes.
    [B]  Recent experiments revealed that reading literary fiction led to better performance on tests of affective Theory of Mind (understanding others’ emotions) and cognitive Theory of Mind (understanding others’ thinking and state of being), compared with reading nonfiction, popular fiction, or nothing at all.
    [C]  Deep reading is great exercise for the brain and has been shown to increase empathy, as the reader dives deeper and adds reflection, analysis, and personal subtext to what is being read.
    [D]   In fact, researchers found that reading content and frequency may exert more significant impacts on students’ writing ability than writing instruction and writing frequency.
    [E]   In contrast, time spent watching television is almost always pointless (your brain powers down almost immediately), no matter how hard you try to justify it, and reading fluff magazines or lightweight fiction may be entertaining, but it doesn’t fire up your writing brain.
    [F]   In a specific comparison between reading poetry and prose, researchers found evidence that poetry activates some parts of the brain linked to introspection.
    [G]   Reading and writing engages Broca’s area, which enables us to perceive rhythm and syntax; Wernicke’s area, which impacts our perception of words and meaning; and the angular gyrus, which is central to perception and use of language.

选项
答案G
解析 空格前指出深阅读能激活大脑中负责说话、视觉和听觉的中枢，帮助我们读写说。空格后说They被一组纤维连接起来，这种连结对作者的阅读和写作都产生影响。联系空格前的内容，推测这个被纤维连接起来的They可能与这些中枢区域有关。G提到三个与语言有关的区域，并指出阅读和写作充分调动这三个区域，与空格前的brain’s centers for...and write对应，而且这三个区域也是空格后They指代的对象。故本题选G。
