Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】C

【4】F

【5】G

【解析】

【1】根据前一句The jobs of the future have not yet been invented（未来的工作还没有发明出来），以及后一句By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.（不管未来会是个什么样子，通过帮助他们发展经典的技巧，而这些技巧将来会派上用场），故D项“因此我们该如何帮助我们的孩子为还不存在的工作做准备呢？”可以承接上下文。

【2】根据下一行“What ingredients(配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?”可知，本段讲述的是做饭，这也是一项传统技能。我们要鼓励孩子和我们一起做饭，通过孩子的好奇心来培养这种传统的技能。

【3】根据前面一句True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new（真正的创造能力是从现存的东西里创造出新的东西的能力），所以我们给孩子机会让他们用新的方法来考虑这些现有的事物，以此来培养他们的创造能力。只有C项符合上下文串联。

【4】根据空格前一句Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions.（能够阅人帮助孩子不误判形势和跳到错误的结论。），和空格后面三句，可以推断选F项“我们可以在现实生活中做这个或者通过故事询问人物性格”符合上下文串联。

【5】根据music、acting、drawing、building、photography可知，这些都是我们表达自己思想的有效方法，能够让孩子用这些方法表达思想也是一种很重要的技巧。我们要培养孩子这方面的能力。故G项符合上下文语境。
