这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了许多学生可能会因为父母的原因而感觉有压力,父母的出发点是好的,但父母没有意识到孩子面临的竞争和压力越来越大,他们的孩子还没有准备好迎接这些变化。
【1】考查形容词。句意:许多学生可能会因为父母而感到压力。分析句子可知,此处的stressed是形容词做动词feel的表语。故填stressed。
【2】考查连词。句意:大多数父母的出发点都是好的,但他们中的一些人在子女适应大学生活的问题上并不是很有帮助,还有一些人似乎故意增加了子女的困难。分析句子可知,设空处前后两句话是转折关系,故填but/yet。
【3】考查动名词。句意:大多数父母的出发点都是好的,但他们中的一些人在子女适应大学生活的问题上并不是很有帮助,还有一些人似乎故意增加了子女的困难。have problems in doing sth为固定用法,意为“做某事有困难”。故填adjusting。
【4】考查名词复数。句意:大多数父母的出发点都是好的,但他们中的一些人在子女适应大学生活的问题上并不是很有帮助,还有一些人似乎故意增加了子女的困难。分析句子可知,此处泛指一些父母给孩子增加了困难,此处的困难是泛指,故应用名词复数。故填difficulties。
【5】考查名词。句意:他们没有意识到竞争越来越激烈,工作标准越来越高,他们的孩子可能还没有准备好迎接变化。分析句子可知,此处缺少主语,故应用名词来充当。故填competition。
【6】考查形容词比较级。句意:他们没有意识到竞争越来越激烈,工作标准越来越高,他们的孩子可能还没有准备好迎接变化。根据上文的stronger可知,此处表示竞争越来越激烈,工作标准越来越高,是与之前情况的对比,故应用形容词比较级。故填higher。
【7】考查冠词。句意:他们没有意识到竞争越来越激烈,工作标准越来越高,他们的孩子可能还没有准备好迎接变化。分析句子可知,此处的change特指上文所提到的the competition is stronger, that the required standards of work are higher。故应填the。
【8】考查副词。句意:出于好意,他们可能会温和地问为什么约翰或玛丽没有做得更好。分析句子可知,此处的gently修饰ask,修饰动词用副词。故填gently。
【9】考查不定式。句意:最糟糕的情况是,他们可能会威胁让孩子退学或削减生活开支。threaten to do为固定搭配,意为“威胁做某事”。故填to take。
【10】考查宾语从句。句意:有时,父母认为他们决定孩子的生活是理所当然的。分析句子可知,此处是一个宾语从句,且从句中do后缺宾语,故填what。
