河北省唐山市2021届高三英语二模试卷(含听力音频)

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

For much of history, reading was a fairly noisy activity. Today, however, the majority of us bottle the words in our heads as if (sit) in a library.

Recent studies provide ample evidence  the ancient art of reading aloud has a number of benefits, from helping improve our memories strengthening emotional bonds between people.

According to a research on the impacts of reading on memory, people consistently remember words and texts (well) if reading them aloud than if reading them silently. This phenomenon has been named the "production effect", which means that producing (write) words-namely, reading them out loud-improves our memory of them. Even just silently mouthing the words makes  more memorable.

One reason why people remember the spoken words better is that it gives us  additional basis for memory. We are (general) better at recalling events that require active involvement. For instance, producing a word in (respond) to a question makes it easier to remember.

In time when our interactions with others and the large amount of information we take in (be) all too transient (转瞬即逝的) , perhaps it is worth making bit more time for reading out loud.

    The way we tell stories has naturally changed since Aristotle defined the rules of tragedy about 2,500 years ago. According to him, the role of storytelling is to imitate life and make us feel emotions. And that's exactly what storytelling as we know it has done very well since then. But there is an aspect of life {#blank#}1{#/blank#} storytelling could never really reproduce. It is the notion of choices.

    Choices are a very important part of our lives. We as individuals {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (define) by the choices we make. As an interactive writer, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (fascinate) with the idea of recreating this notion of choices in fiction, I have tried to put the audience in the shoes of the main characters. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (explore) a way to achieve this is what I did in the past 20 years of my life.

    So do you have an idea of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my work is about as an interactive writer? Where a writer needs to deal with time and space, as an interactive writer, I need to deal with time, space and possibilities. I need to think about all the possibilities {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the characters could encounter different people and different things in a given scene and try to imagine everything that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} happen.

    The interactive writer's experience is very unique, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it is the result of the cooperation between a writer creating this narrative landscape and the player making his own decisions, telling his own story and becoming the cowriter but also the coactor and the codirector of the story. Interactive storytelling is a revolution in the way we tell stories.
