1.expression
2.what
3.coming or which/that comes
4.of
5.as
6.possibly
7.easier
8.to observe
9.about
10.Neither/Nor
【解析】
1.1】the放在名词前面，express动词“表达”，这里要用它的名词expression表情、表达。句意：你正好得到了这种表情。故填expression。
2.2】上句提到“眼神很到位”，所以男孩在问“关于我的嘴要做点什么”？，make缺宾语，故填what。
3.3】is是句子的谓语动词，所以come是非谓语动词或是一个从句的谓语动词，The light 和come之间是主动关系，因此这里用现在分词作定语或用which/that 引导的定语从句作定语，故填coming or which/that comes。
4.4】固定搭配be fond of 喜爱，故填of。
5.5】此处是比较状语从句，as…as…---和---是相同的，故填as。
6.6】副词修饰动词，possible 是形容词，所以用副词possibly修饰动词paint。
7.7】a lot 修饰比较级，加强语气，所以此处用形容词比较级easier。句意：我认为绘画更容易。
8.8】固定搭配teach sb.to dosth.教某人做某事，故填to observe。
9.9】固定句式How about doing…?觉得做某事怎样，故填about。
10.10】根据上句：我不喜欢流行艺术。下句：我也不喜欢。后面的主语和前面的主语的情况相同时，用Neither/Nor+be/情态动词、助动词+主语，表示“后者也不”，故填Neither/Nor。
考点：考查语法填空。

A. When a child should learn to read B. Why it is fun to teach a child reading C. What if a child has reading problems D. How you prepare a young child for reading E. What is the best way to teach a child reading F. Whether reading early promises later achievements |
1.
Learning to read early has become one of those indicators — in parents' minds at least – that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.
2._______________.
Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.
3._____________________
Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the “whole language" method and the "phonic" method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a "p" and another a "b". Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written.
4.___________________
You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children. Besides reading to them, parents can start "ear training" their child by playing thyme games. This develops the child's ability to recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.
5._____________________
Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning disabilities.
