【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Our fearful society has locked down most of what older generations used 【1】(take) for granted, especially unscheduled and unsupervised(无人监督的)play, or free play, for children, just the thought of 【2】, these days, gives the average mom a mild heart attack.

As a matter of fact, however, free play is one of 【3】 most valuable educational opportunities 【4】 (provide) for our children, and it is nature's means of teaching children that they are not helpless. In free play, away 【5】 adults, children learn to make their own decisions, solve their own problems, and get along with others as equals.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。讲述了给予孩子们无人监督的玩耍的必要性和意义。

【1】考查非谓语动词。句中固定搭配：used to do “过去常常做某事”，根据此搭配可知，此处应填to take。故填 to take。

【2】考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知，这是一个复合句，其中主句是Our fearful society has locked down most of what older generations used to take for granted, especially unscheduled and unsupervised play, or free play, for children, 所以其后为非限制性定语从句。先行词unscheduled and unsupervised(无人监督的)play, or free play, for children,所以关系代词为which。作of的宾语。故填which。

【3】考查定冠词。one of 后接形容词最高级，最高级前用定冠词the。故填the。

【4】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，主句free play is one of the most valuable educational opportunities,是主系表结构，因而其后的动词要用非谓语动词；opportunities与provide之间为动宾关系，过去分词表示完成、被动的含义，所以要用provided。故填provided。

【5】考查介词。固定搭配：away from “远离”，所以要用介词from。故填from。

【6】考查名词。根据冠词用法，冠词常放在名词之前。句中空白处之前有定冠词the，可知此处要用名词，作give的宾语。故填freedom。

【7】考查副词。分析句子可知what children think为宾语从句主语，what their parents think为宾语从句的表语，所以用副词修饰表语从句。故填necessarily。

【8】考查被动语态。根据语境，孩子们应该被给予空间。所以语态上表示被动。情态动词的被动语态结构为：情态动词+be +过去分词，所以，此处要填be given。故填be given。

【9】考查反身代词。分析句子可知，本句中孩子们照顾的是自己，主语和宾语一致，因而此时宾语要用反身代词。they的反身代词是themselves，故填themselves。

【10】考查一般现在时。句中主语为Expecting children to know how to make wise decisions and look after themselves when we limit their opportunities to do that,为动名词短语做主语，因而谓语动词要用单数形式，结合全文，时态用的是一般现在时，所以此处makes。故填makes。
