　　.閱讀理解

　　Children's books or children's literature is very hard to define and categorise，because there is no set genre for children to enjoy. All in all they can be categorised into six

　　major classes，namely early childhood picture books, traditional literature，fiction，non-fiction，biography and poetry.

　　Children have unique taste and interest. Although Harry Potter may be an all-time favourite book for children all over the globe, they prefer funny books to fairy tales when it comes to bedtime. The top three favourite books in bedtime stories are The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler，The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and The BFG by Roald Dahl.

　　There are many writers who popularised the children's literature or children's books through their brilliant works. John Amos Comenius is the author of Orbis Pictus which is considered to be the first picture book specifically for children. Charles Perrault is believed to be the one who laid the foundations of fairy tales. Perrault's stories include Little Red Riding Hood，Cinderella，Sleeping Beauty and so on. Hans Christian Anderson is best known for his fairy tales，such as The Snow Queen，The Little Mermaid and The Emperor's New Clothes.

　　Many children's books have been made into feature films and are equally successful in this medium，like Alice in Wonderland，the BFG series and the Harry Porter series. These series collected a huge amount of money when released worldwide in cinema halls. All these movies based on popular children's books are not only popular among children but also popular among adult audiences.

　　Children's books are in demand all over the world and more and more writers and authors are coming up with some new books. The potential market is immense because children are more into reading in this era than previous and they are enjoying it to the fullest.

　　1．Before going to sleep children like to enjoy ________.

　　A．fairy tales

　　B. non-fiction

　　C．funny books

　　D．traditional literature

　　【解析】　細節理解題。根據第二段可知，孩子們在睡覺前喜歡讀有趣的書。

　　【答案】　C

　　2．Which of the following is NOT true about the films based on children's books?

　　A．Adults seem not to like them at all.

　　B．They bring in a lot of money.

　　C．They are very popular with children.

　　D．They are shown around the world.

　　【解析】　判斷是非題。文章第四段中交代了很多兒童書被改編成了電影，而根據該段最后一句可知成人也喜歡這些電影。

　　【答案】　A

　　3．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

　　A．more famous books would be published in future

　　B．children would like to read children's books more

　　C．more people are eager to be writers and authors

　　D．the economy is developing faster and faster

　　【解析】　段意歸納題。根據最后一段及相關情節可推知，孩子們越來越喜歡圖書。

　　【答案】　B

　　4．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

　　A．There Are Six Kinds of Children's Books

　　B．Some Writers Are Well-known in the World

　　C．Many Films Are Based on Children's Books

　　D．Children's Books and Literature Are Very Popular

　　【答案】　D

　　【參考范文】

　　Recently_we_have_made_an_investigation_on_whether_the_test_paper_for_Senior_Three_students_should_be_difficult_or_not.Opinions are different on this matter.

　　Some students are in favor of a difficult exam. On the one hand, they think a difficult exam is just like a challenge—the harder, the better. On the other hand, it can help students find out where they are weak in studies and improve their learning approaches.

　　However, others disagree. For one thing, if it is too difficult, the students may become discouraged/frustrated and feel afraid of the coming college entrance examination. For another, with an easy exam, they can get high marks /grades and gain confidence/self-esteem.
