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.

A、demanding
B、innate
C、amusing
D、annoying
答案
D

annoying"恼人的,讨厌的"。该词在概念上与上文中的"worried"形成关联,故为正确选项。而选项demanding"过分要求的,苛求的",innate"先天的,天生的"和amusing"有趣的"填入后均不符合文意。
