One father, (5)_____, says "When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and (6)_____. We certainly never complained in an (7)_____ way to our parents, ’I have nothing to do!’" He compares this with his own children today: "If someone doesn’t entertain them, they’ll happily sit there in front of the (8)_____ all day."
There is one word for this father’s (9)_____: unfair. It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language. He deplores his children’s (10)_____ of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something (11)_____ that his children are missing. In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play—to imagine, to invent, to elaborate on (12)_____ in a playful way—and the ability to gain (13)_____ from it, these are skills that have to be learned and developed.

选项
A、admiration
B、ignorance
C、speculation
D、disregard
答案
A
解析
admiration"赞美,羡慕"。"and"连接对等成分,如果连接的是两个词汇,则前后意义相近。本题的四个选项中与"respect"意思相近的词为admiration,故为正确选项。而选项ignorance"无知,不知",speculation"思索"和disregard"漠视,忽视"填入后均不符合文意。
