分析 人生最难之事莫过于养育子女,本文将告诉我们美国家庭是如何来教养孩子的.
解答 36-40BCACD 41-45DABCD 46-50BACDB 51-55CDACB
36.B 上下文理解题 由句意可知,养育孩子是一件难事,孩子不是生来就与父母的教育方式配对的.每个孩子都是不同的(different),所以有时候父母在因为找不到正确的教育方式而沮丧.strange 意为"奇怪的;陌生的",new 意为"新的",same 意为"相同的",均不符合句意.故正确答案为B.
37.C 上下文理解题 由句意可知,因为每个孩子都不一样,所以父母有时感到沮丧,不知道(know)该怎么教育他们.notice 意为"注意;通知",remember 意为"记得",decide 意为"决定",均不符合句意.故正确答案为C.
38.A 上下文理解题 由句意可知,就像生活的各个方面一样,养育孩子也受到我们的文化的影响(influence).make 意为"制作",control 意为"控制",change 意为"改变",均不符合逻辑.故正确答案为A.
39.C 上下文理解题 由句意可知,对美国的家长来说,培养孩子就是帮助他们自食其力(stand on one's own feet).sit 意为"坐",get 意为"得到",rise 意为"升起",stand on one's own feet 为固定搭配,其余三项均不符合题意.故正确答案为C.
40.D 上下文理解题 由句意可知,从童年(childhood)开始,美国的孩子们就有了自己的房间.adulthood 意为"成年".girlhood 意为"少女时期",boyhood 意为"少年时期",均不能包括所有的儿童,故正确答案为D.
41.D 上下文理解题 由句意可知,随着(as)孩子的成长,他们得到的自由越来越多,这些自由包括做决定的自由.because 意为"因为",since 意为"自…开始;既然",for 意为"为了;因为",均不符合句意.故正确答案为D.
42.A 上下文理解题 与句意可知,随着孩子们的成长,他们获得的自由(freedom)越来越多,包括做决定的自由.place 意为"地方",time 意为"时间",money 意为"钱",均与文章内容无关.故正确答案为A.
43.B 上下文理解题 由文章可知,上文写了孩子们童年时的事,然后写了随着他们的成长,在他们身上会发生什么.下文写了他们刚成年时发生的事,接着写他们该结婚时发生的事.由此可推断,本句写了他们成为青少年时的情况,所以本空应填 teenager,而非 adult(成人)、Ametican(美国人)、parent(双亲之一).故正确答案为B.
44.C 上下文理解题 由句意可知,青少年们自己选择他们的娱乐方式以及一起分享(share)这些娱乐的朋友.help 意为"帮助",join 意为"参加",provide 意为"提供",share sth.with sb.为固定搭配,其他三项均不符合句意.故正确答案为C.
45.D 上下文理解题 由句意可知,当他们成年后(reach young adulthood),他们自己选择职业和结婚对象.gain 意为"得到",become 意为"成为",均不能与 adulthood 搭配.pass 意为"通过",本句并非讨论他们过了成年期的情况.故正确答案为D.
46.B 上下文理解题 由句意可知,当他们成年时,他们自己选择职业和结婚对象(marriage partner).wife 意为"妻子",husband 意为"丈夫",couple 意为"一对夫妻",均不符合句意.故正确答案为B.
47.A 上下文理解题 由句意可知,做选择时,许多成年人还是需要(need)征求父母的意见和得到他们的允许的.invite 意为"邀请",try 意为"尝试",bring 意为"带来",均不符合句意.故正确答案为A.
48.C 上下文理解题 由句意可知,他们做选择时还需要父母的建议和允许,但是(but)当他们18岁至21岁期间离家这个鸟巢时,他们不想再被拴在父母手中的栓鸟线上,句意存在转折,应填 but,其他连词或副词均不符合句意.故正确答案为C.
49.D 上下文理解题 由下文可知,在美国,父母把孩子看成独立的人,而不是他们生命的延伸.由此可推断,家长和孩子之间(between)的关系非常不正式.with 意为"和",in 意为"里面",均不符合句意.among 意为"在…之中",用于三者或三者以上的情况.故正确答案为D.
50.B 上下文理解题 由句意可知,父母把孩子当成独立的个人对待(treat),而不是 serve(服务)、describe(描述)、recognize(识别).故正确答案为B.
51.C 上下文理解题 由句意可知,父母允许孩子实现自己的梦想(dream).job 意为"工作",plan 意为"计划",suggestion 意为"建议;暗示",与 achieve 搭配时均不如 dream 贴切.故正确答案为C.
52.D 上下文理解题 由句意可知,美国人表扬并鼓励(encourage)他们的孩子,让他们有成功的自信.force 意为"促使;强迫",attract 意为"吸引",push 意为"推",均不符合句意.故正确答案为D.
53.A 上下文理解题 A项,friendship"友谊";B项,leadership"领导能力;领导阶层";C项,membership"成员资格;会员身份";D项,scholarship"奖学金".由句意可知,当孩子们成年时,他们与父母之间的关系更像平等的朋友之间的友谊(friendship).故正确答案为A.
54.C 上下文理解题 由句意可知,与流行的观念相反(contrary to)的是,孩子们不会让前来看望他们的父母支付房钱和路费的.intact 意为"完整的;原封不动的",similar to 意为"相似的",in need 意为"在危难中",均不符合句意.故正确答案为C.
55.B 上下文理解题 A项,make up"编造;化妆";B项,pay for"付钱;赔偿";C项,go out"出去;熄灭";D项,live in"住进".由句意可知,与流行的观念相反的是,孩子们不会让前来看望他们的父母支付(pay for)房钱和路费的.故正确答案为B.
点评 非等距离挖空的命题方式是完形填空的最大特色.短文首句不挖空,以便为考生理解全文留下足够信息,命题者根据考查目的进行挖空,造成信息链中断,这就要求考生依据上下文的文意捕捉到空白处的缺词.从近几年高考完形填空题看,纯语法知识几乎不考,主要考查考生灵活运用所学词汇的能力,尤其是以考查实词或信息词为主,着重考查考生对文章的内在逻辑和整体把握能力.因此,把握句间和段落之间的内在逻辑关系,通过上下文暗示,对篇章、段落或句意的整体把握;再则,干扰项的设置与语法结构无甚关系,重在文意干扰.因此,把握文意和具体语境,通过对词义的辨析,是解完形填空的最好手段.
