A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood. If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening(洗礼形式)of all children I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength.
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. Parents often have a sense of inadequacy when confronted with a world of complex physical nature, inhabited by a life so various and unfamiliar that it seems hopeless to reduce it to order and knowledge. In a mood of self-defeat, they exclaim, "How can I possibly teach my child about nature—why, I don’t even know one bird from one another!"
I sincerely believe that for the child, and for the parent seeding to guide him, it is not half so important to know as to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil. Once the emotions have been aroused—a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love—then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Once found, it has lasting meaning. It is more important to pave the way for the child to want to know than to put him on diet of facts he is not ready to assimilate. (362 words)
What is the function of the last sentence of the first paragraph______?
选项
A、Hypothesis
B、Fairy tale
C、Daydream
D、Analogy
答案
A
解析
此句的大意是:如果我能左右负责孩子洗礼的仙姑,我就会要求她给世界上所有的孩子一份礼物,那就是好奇心。那份好奇心将伴随他们终身,使他们永远能够抵制那些令人清醒却令人讨厌的东西,即学习那些徒劳的、人为的、没有启发性的知识。由于这段说话用的是虚拟语气,所以是一种假设,故选A。B“神话”、C“白日梦”、D“类比”。
