E(2025·新疆中考)
It is believed that reading is not only good for our self-
development but also quite easy to do. There are so many benefits
(好处) to read books.
Reading is a good way to deal with stress. In one study,
reading was found to be effective(有效的) in reducing stress. When
you are reading books, you can keep the noisy world out and needn't
worry about the problems that bother you. This means that reading
can help you feel relaxed.
Reading protects brain health. If you read at least once a week,
you probably have a better ability in understanding at an old age
than those who do not. Because when you are reading, you actually
keep thinking even imagining. And that is a good exercise for your
mind.
Reading is an excellent bedtime activity. On one hand, reading
before bed can help you fall asleep in a shorter time. On the other
hand, it is better for your eyes to hold a book while going to bed
instead of your mobile phone.
All in all, there is no doubt that reading is good for you. Why
not pick up a book to read right now?

E 【文章大意】本文主要阐述了阅读有诸多好处。
1. A [解析]词义猜测题。根据“When you are reading books, you can keep the noisy world out and needn't worry about the problems that bother you.”可知，当你阅读书籍时，你可以将喧嚣的世界隔绝在外，不必为那些困扰你的问题而忧心。由此可推知，画线词“bother”意为“困扰”，与trouble意思相近。故选A。
2. D [解析]细节理解题。根据“If you read at least once a week, you probably have a better ability in understanding at an old age than those who do not.”可知，如果你每周至少阅读一次，那么当你年老时你的理解能力可能会更强。故选D。
3. B [解析]篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总述读书的重要性；第二至四段具体阐述读书的好处；第五段总结全文。因此，本文结构为“总—分—总”。故选B。
4. C [解析]主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要阐述了读书的好处。故选C。
