同学们做完形填空时要注意：选词填空题和限词填空题一般只有一个答案，自由填空题虽然可能允许有多个正确答案，但只能选择其中一种填入，因为完形填空题每个空格只准填写一个单词，多填反而出错。更多有关2014中考英语的信息可登录出国留学网英语频道，欢迎收藏本站(CTRL+D即可收藏)!

本文说明了写一本供孩子读的好书并非一件容易的事，并且告诫家长不要一味强迫孩子接受大人的观点，因为孩子和大人在兴趣方面不尽相同。本文具有一定的教育意义，有助于改变家长一些错误的观点。
答案简析
1.C。read to somebody 意为“读给某人听”，to后面接动作的对象。
2.D。根据下文可知，存在的困难在于如何把孩子们的书写好。故选 good。
3.C。书中的内容让孩子们无法理解，说明作者的目标定得高。故选 high。
4.C。与前文either 对应，这里应用or. “either…or” 意义为“要么……要么……”。
5.B。与下半句的nor 对应，这里应用neither。 “ neither…nor…” 意为“既不……也不……”。
6.A。satisfy的宾语除了读故事的成年人以外，当然就是听故事的孩子。故选child。
7.D。孩子听的故事越来越少，家长把讲故事当成读故事。故选reads。
8.C。前后两句形成因果关系，所以应用so引导结果状语从句。
9.B。上文讲好书越来越少，说明去发现好书并非是容易的事。故选easy。
10.B。名词 works 意为“作品”。
11.A。根据后面所举的例子以及文意，现在被认为是孩子们读的作品，实际上是为成年人所写的。故选grown-ups。
12.A。show interest in something 意为“对……感兴趣”。
13.B。孩子们选书的地点一般是书店或是图书馆。故选library。
14.D。try to do something 意为“想法设法做某事”，符合当今社会实际情况，为正确选项。
15.C。家长不要期望孩子门会接纳他们的观点，因为两者大不相同。故选择different。
