D(2025·南通市海安十三校期中)
① Once you learn to read, you will be forever free. That's probably why so many people are so into reading. In recent years, people have started a new trend of reading books in China.
② According to one report on Chinese people's reading habits last year, around 32.7 per cent of Chinese adults have the habit of listening to audio books(有声书). So, just like having parents read bedtime stories to us when we were little, we are now reading by listening.
③ Some think this is good—people can finally put the books down when they read. They can finally get away from tables and chairs and read in a fun way. It's great, it's appealing, and it's very cool.
④ “I think it's entertaining—my kid can now learn in a fun way,” a young parent said. “I don't have to worry about him having back problems like I did when I was a kid. And listening to audio books also takes some pressure(压力) off his eyes. So I'm all for it.”
⑤ But there are quite a number of people who hold a different opinion. They say this could work with adults, but it might be a bad idea for teenagers.
⑥ “People need self-control when listening to audio books, and we don't see it in teenagers,” they said. “How can we know that whatever it says in a book can get into their heads and stay there? How do we make sure they are learning something when they listen?”
⑦ “We have been reading books in the old-fashioned way for thousands of years,” an elderly scholar said. “Why not start listening for a change?”

【解析】
14. 细节理解题：根据题干关键词“young parent”定位至第④段，原文提到“listening to audio books also takes some pressure off his eyes”，对应A选项“听有声书帮助保护孩子眼睛”；B选项“家长不用担心孩子自控”与第⑥段“青少年缺乏自控”的表述不符；C选项“远离所有健康问题”原文未提及；D选项“确保书中内容留存”是第⑥段的疑问，并非确定结论，故选A。
15. 篇章结构题：梳理段落逻辑：①②段引入中国听书的流行趋势；③④段阐述支持听书的观点；⑤⑥段阐述反对听书的观点；⑦段为学者的折中建议。因此划分方式为①②/③④/⑤⑥/⑦，故选D。
