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.
