第二节 完形填空(共15小题，满分15分)
从短文后所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Most parents, I suppose, have had the
experience of reading a bedtime story __46__ their children. And they
must have realized how difficult it is to write a __47__ children’s
book. Either the author has aimed (定目标) too __48__, so that children can’t
follow what is in his ( or more often, her ) story, __49__ the story
seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are __50__
very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy(令人满意的) the __51__ who hears the story
and the adult(成年人) who __52__ it. Unfortunately(不幸的是), there are in fact few books like this, __53__ the problem
of finding the right bedtime story is not __54__ to solve. This may be
why many of the books regarded as __55__ of children’s literature(文学) were in fact written for __56__ “Alice in Wonderland” is
perhaps the most obvious(明显)of this.
Children, left for themselves, often __57__
the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or
a __58__ 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 __59__
to brainwash(洗脑)children into accepting(接受)our taste in
literature. After all, children and adults are so __60__ that we parents
should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just
have to compromise(妥协)over the bedtime story.
