The best children's books are ? ? ? very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the ? ? who hears the story and the adult who ? ? ?? it. Unfortunately, there are in fact?? ? ? books like this, ? ? the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not ? ? ? to solve.

This may be why many of books regarded as ? ? ? of children's literature were in fact written for ? ? . “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most ? ? ? of this.

Children, left for themselves, often ? ? the worst possible interest in literature. Just? leave a child in bookshop or ? ? and he will more? willingly choose the books ? ? in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics ( 连环画 ), full of the stories and jokes to which both teachers and right-thinking parents? ? .

【解析】

试题分析：大多数家长都曾经有过给孩子们睡觉前讲故事的经历，并且都意识到选一本适合孩子的书是多么的不容易，儿童读物的作者要么立意过高，超过了孩子们的理解范围，要么只适合读者阅读。在本文中作者就儿童读物问题进行了详细的阐述。

1.B动词辨析。A.希望；B. 意识到；C. 告诉；D. 说。根据空后内容how difficult it is to write a ? 37? children's book. 可以判断这是父母在给孩子讲故事时的想法，故答案选B。

2.D形容词辨析。A.短；B. 长；C. 坏；D.好。父母给孩子讲故事时会有所选择，所以才会意识到找一本适合给孩子讲的好书是很难的，答案选D。

3.C形容词辨析。A. 容易；B. 矮； C. 高；D. 困难。根据后面的结果状语从句so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,可以判断有的故事立意太高，超出了孩子们的理解能力，aim high“向高处瞄准，志向高远”，故答案选C。

4.C连词辨析。A. 和；B. 但是；C. 或者；D. 所以。由前句内容Either the author has aimed ….可知与后面内容是选择关系，短语either…or“要么……要么，或者……或者”，答案选C。

5.B副词辨析。A. 两者都；B. 也不；C. 也；D. 很。根据上文内容可知好的故事书应该适合孩子的年龄和心理特点，再由空后内容very difficult nor very simple可知此处是短语neither….nor “既不……也不”，答案选B。

6.A名词辨析。A. 孩子；B.父亲；C. 母亲；D.老师。根据后面的定语从句who hears the story可知此处指听故事的孩子，答案选A。

7.D动词辨析。A.听见；B. 买；C. 理解；D. 读。本文讲的是成年人给孩子讲故事，所以修饰the adult的定语从句应该指给孩子讲故事的成年人，答案选D。

8.A不定代词辨析。A. 几乎没有；B. 很多；C. 几乎没有； D. 很多 。根据上文内容可知作者认为找一本适合给孩子们讲的故事书不容易，再根据Unfortunately可知此处用否定词，few修饰可数名词，little修饰不可数名词，答案选A。

9.C连词辨析。A.但是；B. 然而；C. 所以；D. 因为。从前后句内容可知很少有适合儿童读的故事书，这和下文提出解决这个问题难构成因果关系，答案选C。

10.B形容词辨析。A.困难；B.容易；C. 足够；D. 快。根据上文内容可知作者认为很难找一本适合给孩子读的书，他认为这个问题不容易解决，答案选B。

11.D名词辨析。A.论文；B. 工作；????????????? C. 艺术；D. 作品。文章讲述的是关于儿童读物的问题，所以此处指有关儿童文学的书或者作品，答案选D。

12.A名词辨析。A. 成人；B. 女孩；C.男孩；D. 孩子们。根据上文内容可知作者认为很少的儿童读物符合孩子们的心理和年龄，孩子们都不能理解，所以大部分的儿童作品实际上是写给成年人的，答案选A。

13.C形容词辨析。A. 难的；B. 隐藏的；C. 明显的；D. 容易的。上文作者指出很多儿童读物多数不符合儿童的心理特征，实际上是写给成年人的，然后用“Alice's Adventure in Wonderland”为例来说明这种情况，由此判断C选项正确。

14.B动词辨析。A. 是；B. 展示，显示；C. 找到；D. 增加。根据语境可知如果让儿童自己选择读物的话，他们不会表现出文学兴趣，所以答案选B。

15.A名词辨析。A. 图书馆；B.学校????????????? ；C. 家；D. 办公室。根据or前面内容in bookshop可以判断作者是指把孩子放到可以自由选择图书的地方，故答案选A。

16.D动词辨析。A. 读书；B. 签字；C. 印刷；D. 写。根据后面内容可知此处指孩子们所选择的图书类型，从结构上是过去分词做定语，应该是以想象的方式写成的书，答案选D。

17.C动词辨析。A.最喜爱；B. 对……有兴趣；C. 反对；D. 阅读。根据句意以及句子结构可知此处是指孩子们喜欢那些老师和家长所反对的书，object to “反对”，答案选C。

18.B动词辨析。A.收到；B. 接受；C. 有；????????????? D. 拒绝。根据下文内容we'll just have to compromise（妥协） over that bedtime story可知作者认为家长们应该让孩子有自己选择图书的机会，不要强迫孩子接受成年人的观念，故答案选B。

19.C形容词辨析。A.相同的；B.友好的；C. 不同的；D. 普通的。从文章倒数第二段的内容可知孩子和家长心理不同，对图书的选择也不同，所以答案选C。

20.D形容词辨析。A.普通的；B. 平均的；C. 不同的；D. 相同的。由上下文可知作者呼吁要让孩子选择自己喜欢看的书，也就是和成年人选择不同的书，故答案选D。
