　　(2024·江西臨川一中月考)A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes，as a rule，to have it retold in almost the same words，but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts.It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book，and，if a parent can produce what，in the actual situation of the time and the child，is an improvement on the printed text，so much the better.

　　A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking.To prove the latter，one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not.As to fears，there are，I think，some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story.Often，however，this arises from the child having heard the story once.Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

　　There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true，that giants，witches，two-headed dragons，magic carpets，etc.do not exist；and that，instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales，the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history.I find such people，I must say so peculiar(奇怪的，異常的)that I do not know how to argue with them.If their cases were sound，the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.

　　No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

　　1. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is________.

　　A．repeated without any change

　　B．treated as a joke

　　C．set in the present

　　D．made some changes by the parent

　　2. The advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it ________.

　　A．develops their power of memory

　　B．makes them less fearful

　　C．makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of

　　D．encourages them not to have strange beliefs

　　3. The author's mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ________.

　　A．fairy stories are still being made up

　　B．there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales

　　C．people try to modernize old fairy stories

　　D．there is more concern for children's fears nowadays

　　4. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that ________.

　　A．they are full of imagination

　　B．they make teachers of history difficult to teach

　　C．they are not interesting

　　D．they just make up the stories which are far from the truth

　　答案：

　　解題導語：本文是一篇議論文，作者表達了對給孩子講故事的看法，作者認為給孩子講童話故事，特別是經過父母改編的故事，對孩子有好處。

　　1．D　解析：細節理解題。根據第一段中的“It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book，and，if a parent can produce what，in the actual situation of the time and the child，is an improvement on the printed text，so much the better. ”可推知如果父母能把童話故事改編一下的話，效果會更好。故選D項。

　　2．B　解析：細節理解題。根據第二段最后一句話“Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.”可知改編的童話故事的優勢就是使孩子們不太害怕。

　　3．B　解析：推理判斷題。有些人認為神話不現實，都是教孩子一些不存在的東西，會對孩子有不好的影響。作者用虛擬語氣作了一個假設，如果這些觀點站得住腳的話，可能會出現這樣的情況：“the world should be full of mad men...that it was their beloved girlfriend.”可見持這種觀點的人實際上是對神話的一種誤解。

　　4．D　解析：推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段“There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds...do not exist；”可知有些人不贊成神話故事的原因是這些故事是編出來的，遠離現實，故選D項。

　　1. a　解析：考查冠詞。restaurant是名詞，此處表示泛指，故用不定冠詞a。

　　3．when　解析：考查表語從句。此處應用when 引導表語從句，且在從句中作時間狀語。

　　4．angrily　解析：考查副詞。根據前面“walk out of the restaurant”可知，后面應用副詞angrily修飾動詞。

　　5．because　解析：考查連詞。根據語境可知，此處表示“因為油炸的薯條不夠脆”，強調原因，故用because。

　　6．usual　解析：考查形容詞。根據后面的名詞way可知，此處應用形容詞。

　　7．to eat　解析：考查動詞不定式。refuse to do sth.“拒絕做某事”。

　　8．who　解析：考查疑問詞。根據后面“It's George Crum”可知，此處問的是誰發明了薯條。

　　9．later　解析：考查副詞。根據后面的“set up”可知，這里應用later。
