When children are little we make them read aloud before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they dont know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now Im going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, thats enough for me. Also Im not going to ask you what words mean.”The children sat stunned and silent. Was this teacher talking seriously? One girl who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that “I said just as seriously?” I mean every word of it.During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations(插图) I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It cant be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick. I said, “Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”This is exactly what reading, I think, should be: find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, and then go on to something else.34. According to the passage, childrens fear and dislike of books may result from _.A. reading little and thinking littleB. reading often and adventurouslyC. being made to read too muchD. being made to read aloud before others35. The teacher told his students to read _.A. for higher scores in examsB. for knowledgeC. for enjoymentD. for a larger vocabulary36.

Which statement about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.【答案】34. D 35. C 36. C 37. C【解析】这是一篇记叙文。从孩子入学开始，我们就把书本和读书变成不断可能失败、当众受辱的源头。但是当他们不知道单词该怎么读的时候，他们会犯错，而且是在所有人面前犯错，这会给他们带来一些害怕。作者认为阅读应该是一件快乐的事，而且不是强迫性的阅读，强调通过快乐阅读培养阅读习惯。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段的This means that when they dont know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of every
