二、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】
Dr. Seuss, born Theodor Seuss Geisel on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts,
became one of the most beloved figures in children’s literature. Known for his whimsical
rhymes and quirky characters, he authored 48 books, including iconic classics like The Cat in
the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. His work has sold over 200 million copies worldwide,
making a lasting impact on generations of young readers and the world of children’s books.
Dr. Seuss’s journey to success wasn’t easy. His first book, And to Think That I Saw It
on Mulberry Street, was rejected by over two dozen publishers before it was finally accepted
in 1937. Despite early setbacks, he became a pioneer in children’s literature, using fun
language and colorful illustrations to bring stories to life. His work not only entertained but
also tackled important themes—The Lorax (1971) raised awareness about environmental
issues, while The Butter Battle Book (1984) discussed the dangers of the arms race. His
ability to entertain and address these themes set him apart from others in children’s literature.
One of Dr. Seuss’s most significant contributions was his ability to make reading fun
and accessible to young children. The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, was specifically
designed as a “reader” for children just learning to read. Seuss was challenged to create a
book that could engage young readers using a vocabulary of only 220 words. The book’s
playful rhymes and creative characters helped children develop reading skills in an enjoyable
way, making it one of the most influential educational tools for early literacy.
Unlike the didactic Dick and Jane books that focused on teaching Victorian morals, Dr.
Seuss’s stories didn’t try to tell children how to behave. Seuss’s made-up words didn’t
diminish the deeper messages in his books. In The Sneetches, the anti-discrimination theme
was made even more powerful by his creative storytelling. Seuss took children seriously,
respecting their intelligence and ability to grasp complex ideas.
Seuss’s legacy goes beyond just entertaining; he made reading enjoyable and taught us
valuable lessons. His work fits perfectly into educational curriculums, helping students
understand the impact of influential people and the role of literature in shaping culture.
Seuss’s belief that “I don’t write for children. I write for people” is a testament to his
commitment to writing stories that resonate with readers of all ages.
13 What does the word “reader” mean in the context of The Cat in the Hat?
(A) A person who enjoys reading
(B) A book to assist children in developing reading skills
(C) A person who writes children’s books
(D) A book with complex vocabulary and grammar for advanced readers
14 Which of the following issues is not discussed in the article about Dr. Seuss’s
work?
(A) Ecological conservation (B) Social justice and equality
(C) The ethical dilemma of AI (D) The impact of conflict and war
15 What can be inferred from the article?
(A) Dr. Seuss was primarily concerned with teaching children moral lessons.
(B) Dr. Seuss’s books were not widely read and sold poorly during his lifetime.
(C) Dr. Seuss treated his readers as if they were incapable of understanding
complex ideas.
(D) Dr. Seuss’s books were designed to have both entertaining and educational
purposes.
