【题目】A couple of years ago, when my older daughter was 8,she gently told my wife and me that she’d gotten too old for us to read her books anymore. We didn’t try to talk her out of it or tell her many benefits of reading aloud to a child (even after they can do so themselves). 【1】
Two weeks after stopping our bedtime readings, though, my older daughter asked whether we could start again. 【2】 As she later explained, “Everyone likes to be read to, even adults.” We’ve continued uninterrupted since. Right now, we’re deep into Philip Pullman’s “The Golden Compass.”
【3】 In most of the studies, people found that reading aloud appeared to strengthen parents’ feelings of competence, improve the quality of their relationships with their children and even reduce parental stress or depression.
Reading aloud to children improves a young mind’s cognitive development (thinking, problem-solving, decision-making) and reduces behavior problems, research shows. As with playing board games, reading to them increases concentration and attention spans.
And yet, too many of us stop before the kids want us to. 【4】
The conversations children have around themes and ideas in books help them make sense of the world. And it’s a joyful way to connect and be close with your kid. While reading in bed, my daughters and I lie next to each other, sometimes leaning into one another. 【5】 It’s as high a quality as quality time gets.
A. She simply enjoyed the practice too much to let it go yet.
B. When she was a young child, we began a nearly daily reading called Milk & Books.
C. We were disappointed but respected her.
D. Reading aloud was significantly beneficial to children and their parents.
E. In Australia, more than a third of children aged 6 to 1l whose parents had stopped reading to them wanted to continue.
F. We laugh and are surprised together and have deep conversations about the novels.
G. It’s one of the most virtuous circles of parenting and teaching.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】A
【3】D
【4】E
【5】G

试题这是一篇议论文。主要讨论睡前朗读的好处。睡前为孩子朗读可以增强父母的能力感,改善他们与孩子关系的质量,甚至减轻父母的压力或抑郁,同时还可以促进孩子的认知发展,降低行为问题等。
【1】考查上下文理解和推理判断。由空格上文“We didn’t try to talk her out of it or tell her many benefits of reading aloud to a child (even after they can do so themselves). ”可知,我们没有试图说服她,或告诉她大声朗读会给一个孩子带来许多好处。 因此推断我们是失望的,但是尊重了她的选择。故选C。
【2】考查上下文理解和推理判断。由上文“Two weeks after stopping our bedtime readings, though, my older daughter asked whether we could start again.”可知,然而,在我们停止睡前阅读两周后,我的大女儿问我们是否可以重新开始。因此推断她太喜欢这种做法因此想要让继续下去。下文的“As she later explained, “Everyone likes to be read to, even adults.”如同她后来解释的,每个人都喜欢阅读,甚至是成年人。也说明A项符合语境。故选A。
【3】考查上下文理解和推理判断。由下文“In most of the studies, people found that reading aloud appeared to strengthen parents’ feelings of competence, improve the quality of their relationships with their children and even reduce parental stress or depression.”“在大多数研究中,人们发现大声朗读似乎增强了父母的能力感,改善了他们与孩子关系的质量,甚至减轻了父母的压力或抑郁”可推断,此处讲述大声朗读对孩子和父母都非常有好处。故选D。
【4】考查上下文理解和推理判断。由上文“And yet, too many of us stop before the kids want us to.”可知,然而太多的人在孩子们想让我们停下来之前停了下来。因此推断E项“In Australia, more than a third of children aged 6 to 1l whose parents had stopped reading to them wanted to continue.” “在澳大利亚,超过三分之一的父母不再给他们6至11岁的想要他们读书孩子继续读书 ”符合语境。故选E。
【5】考查上下文理解和推理判断。由上文“While reading in bed, my daughters and I lie next to each other, sometimes leaning into one another.”和下文“It’s as high a quality as quality time gets.”可知,在床上看书的时候,我和女儿们躺在一起,有时互相靠在一起。因此推断G项“它是为人父母和教育最良性的循环之一”符合语境。故选G。
