Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best-loved and most successful children’s book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.

In 1954, life magazine published(刊登) a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children’s books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.
In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.
In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖). He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents.
He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read. Yet, his books are loved by people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said, "I do not write for children. I write for people.

文章讲的是Doctor Seuss从杂志得到孩子不能读书,并决定写儿童著作并获得成功的事。文中列出了他的许多作品,并讲述了他的作品对孩子的影响。
1. A 细节题。从文章第一句a report about school children who could not read可知选A。
2. C 推理题。文章几次提到他作品的特点,从write books that were interesting and easy to read也可得出答案,后面It was a fun story and easy to read更可肯定选C,其它答案不对。
3. B 细节题。Doctor Seuss出生于1904年,而The Cat出生于1957年,故53岁,选B。
4. D 我们采用排除法得到答案。Green Eggs and Ham这本书字少于50字(less than fifty words),A错;B答案说只说children,实际上还有parents,也不对;C也错,原文:even a six-year-old should be able to read it是说即使六岁的孩子也读得懂,并不是说只写给六岁孩子的。D正确,我们可从He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents得知这个符合题意。
5. C 推测题的考查,要从全文总结。从最后一段People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read可知选C。
