Question

【题目】 A lot of kids struggle with reading. Parents have tried encouraging them in all sorts of ways, but nothing seems to work. Actually many factors(因素)can cause reading problems.【1】 Here are a few things you can do to help your kid become a better reader.

Read to your kid-and have him/her read to you

Grab one of the books you loved when you were your kid's age and read it to him/her or take turns reading it to each other. 【2】 Make reading a regular part of the night-time routine.

Don't be pushy

Just because you're a science fan or read on history and other nonfiction doesn't mean your kid will be remotely interested in any of those things. In fact, you've been pushing your tastes on your kid. 【3】

Choose books that interest your kid

Most kids love movies. Did your kid like Ready Player One or Ender's Game? They are based on books. 【4】 If your goal is to get your kid interested in reading and improve his/her skills, what your kid's reading is less important than how much time he/she spends doing it.

【5】

Kids who have trouble reading often feel that there's something wrong with them. So work with your kid to come up with manageable goals and make a big deal every time he/she accomplishes one. With time, gradually make the goals more challenging.

A.Achieve your goals

B.Celebrate small steps

C.Reading books can help your kid get a head start in school.

D.If your kid stops or makes a mistake, be patient and don't judge.

E.Overcoming them can sometimes be an annoying process for everyone.

F.Starting with something your kid is already interested in could help draw him into reading.

【4】F

【5】B

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。许多孩子在阅读方面有困难。父母们试着用各种方法来鼓励他们，但似乎都不起作用。事实上，许多因素会导致阅读问题。克服它们有时对每个人来说都是一个恼人的过程。文章主要给家长提出了一些有助于孩子成为一个更好的读者的建议。

【1】

根据上文Actually many factors can cause reading problems.可知事实上，许多因素会导致阅读问题。以及后文Here are a few things you can do to help your kid become a better reader.可知你可以做以下几件事来帮助你的孩子成为一个更好的读者。由此可知，本句是在说明要克服阅读问题才能成为一个更好的读者，虽然克服的过程令人烦恼。故E选项“克服它们有时对每个人来说都是一个令人烦恼的过程”符合上下文语境，故选E。

【2】

根据上文Grab one of the books you loved when you were your kid's age and read it to him/her or take turns reading it to each other.可知拿出一本你在孩子这个年纪时喜欢的书，读给他（她）听，或者轮流读给对方听。由此可知，本句应当承接上文说明在这一过程中可能出现的情况和建议，如孩子犯了错该如何应对。故D选项“如果你的孩子停下来或犯了错误，要有耐心，不要评判”符合上下文语境，故选D。

【3】

结合上文Just because you're a science fan or read on history and other nonfiction doesn't mean your kid will be remotely interested in any of those things. In fact, you've been pushing your tastes on your kid.可知仅仅因为你是一个科学迷，或者读过历史和其他非小说类书籍，并不意味着你的孩子会对这些东西产生丝毫的兴趣。事实上，你一直在把你的品味强加给你的孩子。由此可知，本句承接上文说明将自己的品味强加给孩子可能会产生的后果——助长了孩子的阅读困难，而不是帮助孩子克服这些困难。故G选项“你可能助长了他或她的阅读困难，而不是帮助他或她克服这些困难”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【4】

根据后文If your goal is to get your kid interested in reading and improve his/her skills, what your kid's reading is less important than how much time he/she spends doing it.可知如果你的目标是让你的孩子对阅读感兴趣并提高他/她的技能，那么你的孩子读什么比他/她花在阅读上的时间更重要。由此可知，本句是在说明有助于吸引孩子阅读的方法。故F选项“从你的孩子已经感兴趣的东西开始阅读可能有助于吸引他阅读”符合上下文语境，故选F。

【5】

本空为本段小标题，结合本段中Kids who have trouble reading often feel that there's something wrong with them. So work with your kid to come up with manageable goals and make a big deal every time he/she accomplishes one.可知阅读有困难的孩子，往往觉得自己有问题。所以要和孩子一起想出可控的目标，每当孩子完成一个目标时要当成大事。由此可知，本段是在说明要庆祝孩子完成的小目标。故B选项“庆祝小进步”符合上下文语境，故选B。
