  The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard.But in the rich world, children can   1   from a different kind of poverty of the spirit.

    2  , one Western country alone now sees 14, 000 attempted suicides(自杀)every year by children under 15, and one child   3   five needs psychiatric(心理)advice.

  There are many good things about   4   in the Third World.Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example.In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between   5   and children.But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices.  6  , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbours working   7   and often shares in that work.

  A child   8   in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s   9  :helping to dig or build, look after animals or babiesmrather than   10   playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets   11   playing with dolls.

  These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the   12   children.Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky.Children in the rich world,   13  , are provided with a watch as one of the   14   signs of growing up, so that they can   15   along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows…

    19  , twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease.But childhood in the Third World is not all   20

答案:1.C;2.B;3.B;4.A;5.A;6.C;7.D;8.A;9.D;10.C;11.C;12.D;13.C;14.B;15.D;16.C;17.D;18.A;19.C;20.A;
解析:

(1)

由前面struggle for可知。前面写第三世界国家的孩子遭受物质贫穷,而发达国家的孩子遭受的是精神贫乏。

(2)

根据上文写发达国家的孩子精神状况较差,后面是一个具体的事实,所以应该用for instance(例如)。

(3)

分数表示法one child in five(五分之一)相当于one child out of five。

(4)

后文用三个自然段具体描述发达国家和发展中国家的孩子的生活条件的不同,尤其是文章最后一句话总结了全文,所以暗示此空应该选childhood。

(5)

由后文中第三世界国家的孩子与父母、亲戚和邻居的关系近,可知此处应选A最全面。

(6)

与发达国家的孩子形成“对比”关系。

(7)

与上文发达国家的孩子离家人远,形成对比,从而得出发展中国家的孩子离家人近。

(8)

用分词作定语,grow up成长;live through度过,经受住;而work和play与上下文明显不符。

(9)

此处想表明“通过参与一些公共事物(如……)孩子可以获得角色认证。”下文列举的为可参与的工作并且上段中提及“shares in that work”得知D项最佳。

(10)

由上一行的through可知。Through doing sth.rather than through doing sth.

(11)

文中playing keeping和Playing三个动名词是选择关系,作through的宾语。

(12)

these指上文中的发展中国家的孩子,后文仍应该与“西方”发达国家的孩子相比较。

(13)

本题最大的干扰项为B。由于B项含有两层意义:(1)同时;一起。(2)然而;不过。容易造成误解。而on the other hand只含转折的意义,同时包含上下文的对比,故选C。

(14)

与上文发展中国家的时间观念是通过观察的相对应,所以下面写西方国家的孩子长大的“最早”标志就是(父母给他们)提供了手表,这样一来,孩子和大人们就可以一块关注下面的一系列事件的时间。

(15)

此句中school times/me times/bed times/the times of TV shows…均为并列关系,作前面介词for的宾语。由于是being late for…所以只能是担心,而care about是“关心,在乎,介意”之意。

(16)

not have to相当于needn’t,再根据still less可知,不是“不敢”,“不希望”,或“不要求”,而应是“不必要”。

(17)

由文中可知,中间三段主要讲述发展中国家孩子的优点,而选项中只有freedom是褒义的。

(18)

由于全文都是写发展中国家和发达国家孩子的生存状况,所以,发展中国家的孩子的父母可以在外面看着孩子而不像发达国家的父母在十几层的高楼上焦急地看着孩子在楼下玩。

(19)

  前面都写的是发展中国家孩子的好处,而下面写的是每年都有一千二百万5岁以下的发展中国家的孩子死于饥饿和疾病,所以上下文之间应该是一种转折关系。

  above all首先;in the end最后;What’s more更糟的是。

(20)

  这是一句总结全文的句子,虽然发展中国家的孩子有那么多的不利情况,但是也有某些优势,所以说第三世界的孩子生活“并不都”是坏的。

  本文着重阐述了发达国家和发展中国家孩子生存状况的优劣,从而指出发展中国家的孩子的生存状况相对于发达国家来说并不是一无是处。

My Teacher in the School of Life

  I spent the opening day of school this year at DeMatha Catholic High School in much the same way I spent the first day of classes   1   30 years ago; I sat in Dr Charles E.Offutt’s British literature class, listening to him   2   what his seniors would learn and get them excited about the journey they would   3  .I’m the principal(校长)of the school now, but for a few minutes I was back in 1975,   4   what the future held.

  I have been learning from Dr Offutt for 30 of the 51 years he had been teaching at DeMatha.He not only taught me to think, he   5   me, as much by example as   6  , that it was my moral duty to do so and to serve   7  

  Neither of us could know how our   8   would develop over the years.When I first came back to DeMatha to teach English.I worked for Dr Offutt, the then department chair.After several years, I was   9   department chair, and our relationship changed   10  .I thought that it might be   11   chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr Offutt   12   me throughout.He knew when to give me   13   about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me design my own course.

  In 1997, I needed his advice about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school.If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have.  14  , he encouraged me to seize the new   15  

  Five years ago, I became the   16   of DeMatha.Once again, Dr Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could   17   on him as I tried to fill such big shoes.I’ve learned from him that great teachers have a(n)  18   wealth of lessons to teach.  19   his students don’t know it yet, I know how   20   they are; I’m still one of them.

Just listen

  I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen.Just listen.Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our   1  , and especially if it’s given from the   2  .When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but   3   them.Just take them   4  .Listen to what they’re saying.Care about it.Most times caring about it is even more important than   5   it.

  One of my patients told me that when she   6   to tell her story, people often   7   to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her.Subtly, her pain became a story about themselves.  8   she stopped talking to most people.It was just too   9  .We connect through listening.When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand.we move the   10   of attention to ourselves.But when we listen, they know we care.

  I have ever learned to   11   to someone crying by just listening.in the old days I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾)  12   I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them   13  , to take them out of their   14   of sadness and pain Now I just listen.When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there   15   them.

  This   16   thing has not been that easy to learn.It certainly went against everything I had been   17   since I was very young at school.I thought people listened only because they were too   18   to speak or did not know the answer.A loving silence often has far more   19   to connect than the most well-intentioned   20

Serious Business

  Let me take you   1   a couple of years.Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and   2   me yet.

  We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware store.No automatic door, not a computer in the building.It was one that I went to fairly often.As we entered the door, two sounds   3   us.The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door.The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our   4  

  "Good afternoon, Ryan,"  5   the cheerful greeting.Andy was a very   6   sort of owner.He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us.

  We walked across the old wood floor.Andy asked us what he could help us with.I told him we were   7   a spring.He very patiently replied, "I have lots of springs.You're going to need to be more   8  ."

  "Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door."

  "That's it.A screen door spring.Right down there." We   9   where he was pointing, and sure enough, there they were.Andy knew his store, and his products.That was why I came here instead of Meijer.The service couldn't be beaten.The price-Yes.But service and   10  -No.

  He nodded and smiled, "Good dad's account." He laughed."I don't know what you boys would do   13   dad's account!"

  He handed me the ticket and as I   14   it I asked, "You really trust my signature?"

  His reply surprised,   15   delighted, me."When I can't trust Jerry Hoover's boys I can trust nobody!"

  We left, and the brain   16   started to forget things, in order of importance.But what Andy said that day rang in my ears.And it rings in my ears today.That's a tall order to live up.to.It's a high standard of   17  .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to   18   the benefits.But on account of this, I must   19   that fame.And that's   20   business.

Unchangeable Love

  One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting.I was expecting a quiet   1   of the splendid artwork.

  A young   2   viewing the paintings ahead of me   3   nonstop between themselves.I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking.I admired the man's   4   for putting up with her   5   stream of words.  6   by their noise, I moved on.

  I met them several times as I moved   7   the various rooms of art.Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away   8  

  I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a   9   when the couple approached the   10  .Before they left, the man   11   into his pocket and pulled out a white object.He   12   it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the   13   to get his wife's jacket.

  "He's a   14   man." the clerk at the counter said."Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age.During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn't change.

  So, as before, he and his wife come in   15   there is a new art show."

  "But what does he get out of the art?" I asked."He can't see."

  "Can't see! You're   16  .He sees a lot.More than you and I do," the clerk said."His wife   17   each painting so he can see it in his head."

  I learned something about patience,   18   and love that day.I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without   19   and the courage of a husband who would not   20   blindness to change his life.And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, hand in hand.
