閱讀理解精選15
In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (學會) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (嚴格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (說教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
36. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills, _________________.
A. should be avoided
B. is universal among parents

A. parents should be strict with their children
B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
D. it’s parents’ and society’s duty to control the children

在孩子成長過程中，父母不能拔苗助長。父母對孩子的“嚴”與“松”之間應有一個恰
當的度。關于道德教育問題，父母應該以身作則，帶頭遵循,“榜樣比說教更有力”。
36．B
推理判斷題。根據文章第一自然段開頭In bringing up children，every parent watches
eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都會這樣做，那么這種做法在
父母中就是普遍的，故選B。根據文章第一自然段第二句，選項C。sets up dangerous states of
worry in the child是由hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate引起的，“迫不及待地要
求孩子做超出其自然成長速度的事情”和“熱切地觀察孩子學會每一項新技能”顯然不是一
回事，作者對后者沒有否定之意，所以A不對。根據文章第一自然段末句，選項取D。will
make him lose interest in learning new things是由a child is left alone too much, or without any
learning opportunities引起的。故D也不合文意。
37．C
推理判斷題。文章第一自然段第二句It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his
natural learning rate，but this can set Up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the
child，說明在孩子成長過程中，父母不能拔苗助長。文章第一段末句又說：On the other hand，
though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural
enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself，說明對孩子太放任自流同樣
不利。根據這兩方面，應選C，父母對孩子的“嚴”與“松”之間應有一個恰當的度。
38．C
主旨大意題。文章第二自然段的大意是:“父母對孩子的嚴格程度有很大的不同”。
39．D
詞義推測題．四個選項的意思分別是：A. opinion (觀點)；B. punishment(懲罰)；C.
bebaviour(行為)；D．instruction(說教，源于instruct)。根據文章第三段第三，四句Also，parents
should realize that “example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice
what they preach(說教)…可以推測，precept應表達與example對立的意思，且與preach是同
義詞，引語的意思是“榜樣比說教更有力”，故選項D為最佳選項。
40．A
推理判斷題．根據文章第三自然段第四句，再根據文章最后一段，可以得出結論，
關于道德教育問題，父母應該以身作則，帶頭遵循，(參見上一小題之解析)，故選A。
