（2025·皖南八校联考）
My daughter is a smart kid, but she'd never read an entire chapter book for pleasure. She had never developed any habit of classic deep reading—with two eyes in front of paper, and nothing else going on. When I faced this truth, it felt like a parenting failure. Even though we'd read many storybooks when she was younger and we lived in a house stuffed with books, I hadn't managed to instill (灌输) one of life's fundamental pleasures in my kid.
As a lifelong reader, I understand how reading enhances the fabric of our experience. Yet my daughter claimed to dislike reading. I told her reading novels was the best way to learn about how people's insides work. She said she could learn more from the people on social media, who were all about spilling their insides. I said books offered storytelling. She said, "Smartphones." I said books taught history. She said, "The Internet."
I could not win our debates, because few of my daughter's arguments against reading seemed wrong to me. Yes, reading is a way to discover new worlds—so is the entire Internet. But that's not why I wanted my daughter to pick up a book. It was about experiencing a certain magic. You know when an author describes a feeling you didn't have, and a hundred lightbulbs go off on the top of your head? I wanted her to have a chance at feeling that. A screen - based medium can't create this kind of relationship because, by its nature, the medium must fill in all the blanks for you. Books leave space for blanks—and for the internal invention they can inspire.
So I decided to cut through all the reasoning with a cold, hard practicality: cash. I told my 11 - year - old I would pay her 100 to read a novel within a month. Of course, she said yes. She finished the book in seven days. Then she even asked for the sequel (续集)—at no extra charge. Will this lead to her reading Little Women? Will it result in a lifelong habit of reading? I don't know. What I do know is that I finally opened a new door for her to the printed page. That feels like the best money I ever spent.

答案： 12.C 【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线短语前的“She had never developed any habit of classic deep reading—with two eyes in front of paper, and nothing else going on.”可知,作者的女儿没有阅读的习惯,由此可知,“When I faced this truth, it felt like a parenting failure.”中画线部分的“parenting failure”指的是“没有在女儿身上培养出阅读习惯”,作者认为自己在这方面是失败的。故选C项。
13.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It was about experiencing a certain magic. You know when an author describes a feeling you didn’t have, and a hundred lightbulbs go off on the top of your head? I wanted her to have a chance at feeling that.”可知,作者希望女儿通过阅读感受到作家描述的一种你没有的感觉。由此可知,作者想让女儿读书,因为想让她感受到一段深深的联系,与作家想要表达的情感产生共鸣。故选D项。
14.B 【解析】句意理解题。根据最后一段中的“I told my 11-year-old I would pay her 100 to read a novel within a month. Of course, she said yes. She finished the book in seven days. Then she even asked for the sequel —at no extra charge. Will this lead to her reading Little Women? Will it result in a lifelong habit of reading? I don’t know.”可知,作者给女儿100美元让她在一个月内读完一本小说,女儿七天内完成了这本书,甚至要求读续集而且不额外要钱,但是作者不确定自己的做法能否帮女儿养成终身阅读的习惯。由此可知,对于花100美元鼓励女儿读书,作者不确定这是否会让她爱上阅读。故选B项。
15.A 【解析】标题归纳题。通读全文,结合第一段中的“She had never developed any habit of classic deep reading—with two eyes in front of paper, and nothing else going on.”以及最后一段中的“What I do know is that I finally opened a new door for her to the printed page. That feels like the best money I ever spent.”可知,本文主要讲述了作者的女儿不喜欢阅读,作者想办法帮助女儿养成阅读习惯的经历,“Creating a Reader: A Mother’s Journey”意为“创造一个读者:一位母亲的旅程”,能够概括文章主要主旨,适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。
