A study published in the International Journal of Business Administration found that what students read in college directly effects the level of writing they achieve. 【F1】In fact, researchers found that reading content and frequency may exert more significant impacts on students' writing ability than writing instruction and writing frequency. Students who read academic journals, literary fiction, or general nonfiction wrote with greater syntactic sophistication (more complex sentences) than those who read genre fiction (mysteries, fantasy, or science fiction) or exclusively web-based collectors. The highest scores went to those who read academic journals; the lowest scores went to those who relied solely on web-based content. 【F2】Recent research also revealed that "deep reading"—defined as reading that is slow, immersive, rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity—is distinctive from light reading—little more than the decoding of words. Deep reading occurs when the language is rich in detail, allusion, and metaphor, and taps into the same brain regions that would activate if the reader were experiencing the event. 【F3】Deep reading is great exercise for the brain and has been shown to increase empathy, as the reader dives deeper and adds reflection, analysis, and personal subtext to what is being read. It also offers writers a way to appreciate all the qualities that make novels fascinating and meaningful—and to tap into his ability to write on a deeper level. 【F4】Light reading is equated to what one might read in online blogs, or "headline news" or "entertainment news" websites, particularly those that breezily rely on lists or punchy headlines, and even occasionally use emojis to communicate. These types of light reading lack a genuine voice, a viewpoint, or the sort of analyses that might stimulate thought. It's light and breezy reading that you can skim through and will likely forget within minutes. Deep reading activates our brain's centers for speech, vision, and hearing, all of which work together to help us speak, read, and write. Reading and writing engages Broca's area, which enables us to perceive rhythm and syntax; Wernicke's area, which impacts our perception of words and meaning; and the angular gyrus, which is central to perception and use of language. 【F5】These areas are wired together by a band of fibres, and this interconnectivity likely helps writers mimic and harmonize with language and rhythms they encounter while reading. Your reading brain senses a rhythm that accompanies more complex writing, which your brain then seeks to intimate when writing.

【答案解析】①本句是包含一个宾语从句的复合句。主句主干为researchers found that…，that引导从句作found的宾语，具体说明发现的内容。②that引导的宾语从句中，reading content and frequency为现在分词做主语，表示阅读的内容和频率。exert impact on为固定搭配，意为“对……施加影响”。比较级的比较对象是writing instruction and writing frequency“写作辅导和频率”和reading content and frequency“阅读内容和频率”。
【答案解析】①本句为复合句，主句主干是Recent research also revealed that…，that引导从句作revealed“表明”的宾语，说明最近的研究表明了什么。②第一个破折号后是修饰deep reading“深阅读”的定语，that is…complexity为嵌套其中的定语从句，修饰reading，解释深阅读是怎样的阅读方式。③be distinctive from意为“与……不同”，破折号后little more than…作后置定语修饰light reading，表明浅阅读的方式和特点。
