试题分析:考查形容词辨析。Common 意为"普通的","平常的",指常见的,常常发生的,不足为奇的。用于是通常的、常发生的、广泛使用或众所周知的;ordinary 意为"通常的","普通的",有"日常的","随时都可以碰到的"。指种类普通且不能从其他中加以区别的. General普遍的,一般的;original原始的;句意;作为一个普遍的规则,大部分的花都是在春天开放。故C正确。
考点:考查形容词辨析。
点评:对于一些意义相近的形容词要注意其意义的细微差别,在平时要加强辨析。
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what , in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A change made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的)that I don’t know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
