问题     There were some consistent patterns among the heavier readers: For the younger children— ages 6 to 11—being read aloud to regularly and having restricted online time were correlated with frequent reading; for the older children—ages 12 to 17—one of the largest predictors was whether they had time to read on their own during the school day.
    The finding about reading aloud to children long after toddlerhood may come as a surprise to some parents who read books to children at bedtime when they were very young but then tapered off. Last summer, the American Academy of Pediatrics announced a new policy recommending that all parents read to their children from birth.
    "A lot of parents assume that once kids begin to read independently, that now that is the best thing for them to do," said Maggie McGuire, the vice president for a website for parents operated by Scholastic. But reading aloud through elementary school seemed to be connected to a love of reading generally. According to the report, 41 percent of frequent readers ages 6 to 10 were read aloud to at home, while only 13 percent of infrequent readers were being read to.
    Of course, children who love to read are generally immersed in households with lots of books and parents who like to read. So while parents who read to their children later in elementary school may encourage those children to become frequent readers on their own, such behavior can also result from "a whole constellation of other things that goes on in those families," said Timothy Shanahan, a past president of the International Reading Association.
    There is not yet strong research that connects reading aloud at older ages to improved reading comprehension. But some literacy experts said that when parents or teachers read aloud to children even after they can read themselves, the children can hear more complex words or stories than they might tackle themselves.
    "It’s this idea of marinating children in higher-level vocabulary," said Pam Allyn, founder of LitWorld.Org, a nonprofit group that works to increase literacy among young people. "The read-aloud can really lift the child." Other literacy experts say the real value of reading to children is helping to develop background knowledge in all kinds of topics as well as exposure to sophisticated language.
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that______.

选项 A、the younger children and the older children have the same reading patterns
B、for the younger children, being read aloud regularly is good to their school days
C、for the older children, having time to read independently is very important
D、for the older children, having restricted online time is good to develop reading habits

答案C

解析 根据题干关键词定位到第一段。根据原文for the olderchildren,ages 12 to 17一one of the largest predictors was whether they had time to read on their own during the schoolday推断出C项“对于年龄较大的孩子来说,自主阅读很重要”为正确答案,其中readindependently是对on their own的同义替换。A项“年幼的孩子和年龄较大的孩子有相同的阅读模式”是对第一句的曲解。B项“对于年幼的孩子,时常听父母大声朗读,对其学校生活有益”在第一句没有提及。D项“对于年龄较大的孩子,限制上网时间对其培养阅读习惯是有益的”属于过度推断。
