Ⅰ. 阅读理解

“Parents have too much of a role in deciding which books their child is going to read，”

said Norris. “It is turning children off. ”

The results of a number of surveys Norris has carried out with hundreds of American

booksellers over the past year have provided the basis for a series of tips for parents designed to

help children find enjoyment in books.

One of his tips is to make sure children talk directly to a librarian or a book seller, while

parents stand well back. Parents should allow children to choose their own reading material. Even

if a mother or father is just standing with the child when the bookseller asks them what they like to

read, we have found that the child will give an answer they think their parent wants to hear. It will

not be the same answer they would give alone, said Norris.

Norris said, “What we have found is that parents should not worry whether a title looks too

young or too old for a child. If it is children's favourite book, then let them take it.”Children,

added Norris, often enjoy reading books that are easy for them to understand. “My father made

me read The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy when I was much too young, which, I think,

was totally wrong, and I have never read another Clancy since，” said Norris. ( )1.What did Norris think prevents children from enjoying reading?

A．Children's interest in handheld games.

B．The declining market of the book industry.

C．Parents' influence on children's book selection.

D．The growing popularity of online entertainment.

( )2.What do we know about the new study?

A．It is meaningless.

B．It mainly focuses on British families.

C．It is published to improve book sales.

D．It is mainly carried out by Norris.

( )3.What should parents do to help kids get their favourite books at a bookstore?

A．Introduce new books regularly.

B．Discuss popular books with their children.

C．Let children choose books for themselves.

D．Often seek expert advice from booksellers.

( )4.What did Norris think of his father's act?

A．It showed parents' worries about kids.

B．It made him love reading.

C．It was quite necessary.

D．It was totally wrong.

【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，主要讲了一位美国出版专家Michael Norris认为父母对孩子们选择书籍的过多干预阻碍了孩子们享受阅读，并且建议父母应该让孩子们自己选书。

1．C 推理判断题。根据第二段“Parents have too much of a role in deciding which books

their child is going to read”“It is turning children off”推断出，Norris认为父母对孩子们选择书籍的过多干预阻碍了孩子们享受阅读，故选C项。

2．D 推理判断题。根据第一段可知，美国出版专家Michael Norris将在每月出版的《图书出版报告》中公布调查结果。报告显示，尽管出发点是好的，但往往是善意的父母阻止子女养成阅读习惯。由此推断出，这份研究是由Norris执行的，故选D项。

3．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，父母不应该担心一本书对孩子来说是太年轻还是太老。如果这是孩子们最喜欢的书，那就让他们拿去吧。由此推断出，父母应该让孩子
