【解析】

调查发现，五分之一的父母已经抛弃了《白雪公主和七个小矮人》、《长发姑娘》等古老的经典童话，转而选择现代童话故事。

【1】D 根据第1段可知那些童话故事对孩子太恐怖，所以现在的家长“放弃”了。

【2】A 与前面的“放弃”相对应，所以此处应为“赞成；支持”。

【3】B 根据hearing the terrible details中的“可怕的”推测，此处应为in tears。

【4】C 既然这些故事非常可怕，孩子会吓哭，所以家长“拒绝”读这些故事。

【5】D 该句大意是拒绝读那个童话是因为它的“主题”是绑架和杀戮。

【6】A 由本句中的连词also可知Goldilocks and the Three Bears与Rumplestiltskin一样，都是家长不读的书，因此用similarly。

【7】B 既然家长不愿买来读给孩子们听，所以书就被“留”在了书架上。

【15】 D 根据下文的“辛德瑞拉被描绘了一个整天做家务的年轻姑娘”可知，这里的意思应为“传递不良信息”，所以用message。

【16】 A “做家务”要用doing housework来表示。

【17】 D 根据上文的bedtime stories可知，此处应为sleep。

【18】 A 由于传统童话故事也有不好的一面，所以家长担心是“可以理解的”。understandable“可以理解的”。
