4级阅读Part1：
文章
For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. "While we teach, we learn," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They"re documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.
Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who"re learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹). This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.
But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the "teachable agent"—a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的) figure called Betty"s Brain, who has been "taught" about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking.
Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors" learning. The agents" questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.
Above all, it"s the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive pride and satisfaction from someone else"s accomplishment.
46. What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?
A.Seneca"s thinking is still applicable today.
B.Better learners will become better teachers.
C.Human intelligence tends to grow with age.
D.Philosophical thinking improves instruction.
第46题- What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?
首先题目的意思是研究员在他们的研究中重新发现了什么。根据题干可知，回去定位的时候一定是对已知某一概念进行了2次探索。我们来迅速浏览一下首段的内容：
For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. "While we teach, we learn," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They"re documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.
可以看出首句的解释–people have known that…明显的是已知的大众信息，而后面的Roman philosopher Seneca是对于这个信息的举例说明。
第三句话，Now,…bring this .. up-to-date.首先up-to-date的意思大家需要了解–zui新的，zui近的。所以这句话是说科学家把这个古老的智慧更新了。这样一来，我们看到了题目锁定的位置。
那么继续往后找，就很可能是我们的答案- why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.
所以他们记录的是教是富有成果的学习的原因，和设计一些有创意的方法使得年轻人能够参与指导，教授。
