初中英语：阅读理解 (15)‎ Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story __1__ their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a __2__ children’s book. Either the author has aimed (定目标) too __3__, so that children can’t follow what is in his ( or more often, her ) story, __4__ the story seems to be talking to the readers.‎ The best children’s books are __5__ very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy（令人满意的） the __6__ who hears the story and the adult（成年人） who __7__ it. Unfortunately（不幸的是）, there are in fact few books like this, __8__ the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not __9__ to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as __10__ of children’s literature（文学） were in fact written for __11__ “Alice in Wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious（明显）of this. ‎ Children, left for themselves, often __12__ the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a __13__ and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative (并非想象的 ) way, or have a look at the most children’s comics（连环图书）, full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and righting-thinking parents.‎ Perhaps we parents should stop __14__ to brainwash（洗脑）children into accepting（接受）our taste in literature.

D。根据下文可知，存在的困难在于如何把孩子们的书写好。故选 good。‎ 3. C。书中的内容让孩子们无法理解，说明作者的目标定得高。故选 high。‎ ‎4. C。与前文either 对应，这里应用or. “either…or” 意义为“要么……要么……”。‎ ‎5. B。与下半句的nor 对应，这里应用neither。 “ neither…nor…” 意为“既不……也不……”。‎ 6. A。satisfy的宾语除了读故事的成年人以外，当然就是听故事的孩子。故选child。‎ 7. D。孩子听的故事越来越少，家长把讲故事当成读故事。故选reads。‎ 8. C。前后两句形成因果关系，所以应用so引导结果状语从句。 ‎ 9. B。上文讲好书越来越少，说明去发现好书并非是容易的事。故选easy。‎ 10. B。名词 works 意为“作品”。‎ 11. A。根据后面所举的例子以及文意，现在被认为是孩子们读的作品，实际上是为成年人所写的。故选grown-ups。‎ 12. A。show interest in something 意为“对……感兴趣”。‎ 13. B。孩子们选书的地点一般是书店或是图书馆。故选library。‎ 14. D。try to do something 意为“想法设法做某事”，符合当今社会实际情况，为正确选项。‎ 15. C。家长不要期望孩子门会接纳他们的观点，因为两者大不相同。故选择different。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
