Question

6．Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children．Not caring about the money，parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England，the United States or Australia．（71）E The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is，the better it is．So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education．（72）F
However，what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap and they should teach them the most important skills they need to be confident，happy and clever．（73）G Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life．（74）C It is an enjoyable but difficult experience．A good cook always tries to improve his cooking，so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully．His result，a well-cooked dinner，will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence．
Some old machines，such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest．He will spend hours looking at them，trying to fix them； your child might become an engineer when he grows up．These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book，but rather to think，to use his mind．（75）B 

    A．But is it correct？
    B．And that is more important．
    C．Cooking demands patience and time．
    D．They also require their children to take a lot of tests．
    E．They also want their children to take extra-course activities．
    F．Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter．
    G．Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking，sewing and doing other housework．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要针对中国父母在教育孩子方面的过分投入这一话题进行的谈论．指出这种无原则的爱有时是不利于孩子的成长的，并指出最好的教育方式就是教会孩子基本的生存技能，通过学做饭这一事件来培养孩子的自信及基本技能等．

解答 EFGCB
71．E．考查对上下文的语境理解能力．前面提到中国的方面在孩子教育上是很慷慨的，经常送孩子去最好的学校，甚至是出国深造，他们还会让孩子参加其他的课程，这是和上面的内容一脉相承的；故选E．
72．F．考查对上下文的语境理解能力．由前面一句So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education．可知，许多家庭会过度的将钱花费孩子的教育上，由此可知，即使贫穷的夫妇也会给自己的孩子买电脑，故选F．
73．G．考查对上下文的语境理解能力．本句应该是承接上句中的they should teach them the most important skills they need to be confident，happy and clever．也就是说父母应该交给孩子最基本的生活自理的能力，所以Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking，sewing and doing other housework．具有承上启下的作用；故选G．
74．C．考查对上下文的语境理解能力．前面一句Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life说教孩子烹饪会提高他们以后生活中的许多技能，为什么会这么说，接下来就是解释原因，即学烹饪的好处在哪里，即Cooking demands patience and time．故选C．
75．B．考查对上下文的语境理解能力．文章最后提到了这些活动的意义，也就是最重要的核心所在；故选B．

点评 这类题型要求学生根据文章的结构、逻辑、上下文的内容选出相应的五句话填入空白处将文章补充完整．主要目的在于"考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握．"做题时需要明白整篇文章的主旨，文章整体的思路和每一段的用意以及作者写作的意图．花些时间理清段落之间和句子之间的逻辑关系也有助于帮助学生把握文章的整体结构和思路．
