一、阅读理解
Reading is like opening a magical door to a new world. It can carry you to faraway lands. 1. And it can also paint amazing pictures of worlds you’ve only dreamed of. So it’s clear that reading has lots of advantages.
First of all, it makes your vocabulary grow. 2. Before long, you’ll find yourself using these new words naturally — whether in your schoolwork or in a chat with your friends, making your expression clearer and richer.
Second, reading helps you think better. Good books make you wonder: Why does the character choose that path? 3. This kind of thinking sharpens your mind, teaching you to see things from different sides.
4. A funny story can chase away ( 驱 逐 ) your sadness. A powerful story can cheer you up. It’s like a friend who listens and takes your worries away.
So, pick up a book when you have time. 5. It’s a way to learn, to grow and to find joy. Reading is simple, but its magic lasts forever.

2. 本段核心是说明阅读能扩充词汇量，空后句提到你很快就会自然使用这些新词汇，E选项“你阅读的故事和文章会将新的词汇植入你的脑海”正好衔接词汇增长的相关内容，符合语境。
3. 空前抛出问题“为什么书中的角色会选择那条道路？”，B选项“当暴风雨来临时可能会发生什么？”是同类型的、阅读时会引发的思考问题，和后文“这类思考能磨砺你的思维”呼应。
4. 空后内容介绍有趣的故事能驱散悲伤、有力量的故事能让你振作，都是阅读给人带来的情绪上的正向作用，C选项“此外，阅读能带来快乐与慰藉”是本段的主题句，总领后文内容。
5. 空前呼吁大家有空就拿起书阅读，空后说明阅读是学习、成长、寻找快乐的途径，A选项“它不只是书页上的文字”衔接上下文，升华阅读的意义，逻辑连贯。
