Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

As children grow, so does their desire to become independent. 【1】 . As parents, our job is to find the right balance between kids’ desire for independence and the need to keep kids safe.

Kids need to be allowed, in fact encouraged; they like to be given certain risks. 【2】 . The right risk level for your child will depend on their age, developmental level, and character. It will change over time, and there are few hard and fast rules that apply to every child.

【3】 Every time you put your kids in the car you are putting them at risk. It is a fact of life.

So what is a parent to do ? We must encourage them to explore their world while setting clear limits where safety is an issue. 【4】 . We must let them run, but be prepared to catch them when they fall. We can’t take their steps for them; we can only point out the path.

It’s hard to imagine when they are small, but someday very soon they will be walking , riding a bike, even driving ! 【5】 .

A. Children do not often want to become independent.

B. It is impossible for any of us to live completely risk-free.

C. The goal for parents is to determine how much risk is appropriate.

D. Often they will become more willing to take risks and try new things.

【解析】

试题分析：随着孩子长大他们希望变得独立，作为父母怎样平衡孩子独立的渴望和保证孩子安全的需要。

【1】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上句：随着孩子长大，他们希望变得独立。下句：作为父母要平衡孩子独立的渴望和保证孩子安全的需要。D项孩子喜欢冒险与下句“保证孩子安全的需要”相呼应，故选D.

【2】C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上句：孩子们需要被允许，事实上是被鼓励，他们需要被给某种冒险。下句：对孩子来说正确的冒险水平要根据孩子的年龄、发展水平和性格而定。C项讲冒险度的衡量，符合本段文意，故选C.

【3】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。B项：我们完全无风险的生活是不可能的。下句：每次把孩子放进车里就意味着放进危险中。两句意思一致，故选B.

【4】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段主要讲父母要给孩子空间让他们去冒险去探索世界，但要掌握度，给孩子指明道路。F项恰好讲父母的这种作用，故选F.

【5】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。最后一段讲孩子逐步长大，我们不能过度保护，那样他们就会对未来必须面对和克服的挑战准备不足。G项符合文意与上句承接，故选G.
