7.答案:DAFDE
解析:①结合下文By watching the former, children can learn English at the same time.(通过看前者,孩子们可以同时学习英语)可推知有的家长认为外国动画片可以帮助孩子学习英语,因此比看中国动画片更好。故G选项“对一些家长来说,看外国动画片比看中国动画片更好”符合上下文语境。故选G。

③结合上文Take Journey to the West for example.(以《西游记》为例)可推知下文继续对《西游记》进行说明,它是中国四大名著之一。故F选项“这部剧是根据中国四大名著之一改编的”符合上下文语境。故选F。
