[答案]

与几十年前相比，如今的孩子能享受更好的医疗保障，享受更多现代生活带来的舒适；但他们似乎有好多东西被剥夺了。随着工作压力的增大，父母陪伴在孩子身边似乎成了一种奢侈。作者呼吁父母应当更多地与孩子在一起，以满足孩子的情感需求。

1．B。由后文的enjoy better health...可知现在的孩子似乎更幸运。

2．C。词义辨析题。advances可概括其他三个选项的内容。该句意思为“因为近来医学的进步和公共医疗保障水平的提高，他们更健康”。invention“发明”；discovery“发现”；product“产品”。

3．A。词义辨析题。现代生活所带来的舒适，所以用comforts指“使生活舒适的事物”。pleasure意思为“愉快，快乐”，用在这里不合适。

4．D。上下文推理题。前后句之间为让步关系，因此用in spite of尽管。

5．B。由上文内容可知生活水平提高了，因此用standards of living。

6．B。由后半句大多数父母与孩子在一起的时间越来越少，可推测孩子在情感上被掠夺了。其他选项不符合语境。

7．B。此处是进一步说明父母与孩子在一起的时间少，少到可将父母称为“周末父母”。所以用in fact来强调前面说的父母陪伴孩子时间少的事实。

8．B。词义辨析题。rightly表示“恰当地”。说明将父母称为“周末父母”的准确程度。

9．B。词义辨析题。由句中“in the care of baby－sitters or nurseries”可知是将孩子留给他人照管，所以用leaving。

10．A。上下文推理题。根据前面a luxury可推测此空为afford，此处意思为“时间成了极少数父母负担得起的奢侈品”。

11．C。上下文推理题。根据前面“pressures of their work and the very brisk pace of life”可推测我们处于一个竞争非常激烈的社会。

12．D。词组搭配题。provide sb. with sth.“提供某物给某人”。其他选项后接双宾语。

13．C。归纳词义题。由前面提到的food, clothes, toys可知这些属于物质的范围。

14．A。上下文推理题。sad与后面的fail to...正好呼应，表示悲哀的心情。

15．C。词组搭配题。由后面的requirements可知用satisfy，表示满足要求。

16．B。词语辨析题。speak不可接说的具体内容；不是医生的提问，所以排除asks；talk为不及物动词，不接说的具体内容。用explain，这里意思为“正如……解释的那样”。

17．C。词语辨析题。meet与needs搭配，即如果他们的需要得不到满足，他们的发展可能会受到抑制。

18．B。上下文推理题。由上文可知心理医生的意见与此是一致的，用admit“承认”。

19．A。词语辨析。common to sb.意为“对某人来说是常见的、普遍的”。

20．C。上下文推理题。根据医生所说的，父母应该保证与孩子之间的交流可推测：如果真的关心孩子，无论工作有多忙都要与孩子沟通。

15．A

14．D。or else“否则，要不然”；therefore“因此”；after all“毕竟”；besides“此外，另外”。句意：飓风毁坏了很多住房和商店，此外还造成20人死亡。

13．D。非谓语动词作状语，首先主句主语one与offer之间的关系为被动关系，所以排除A、B两项，C项与when连用不能作状语。When offered help, one often says...相当于When one is offered help, one often says...，本题属于状语从句的紧缩现象。

12．C。表示“在某人方便时”应用it is convenient, it指代时间，convenient的主语不能是人。

11．D。can’t stand sb. doing sth.“不能容忍某人做某事”。

10．A。under construction“正在修建，正在建造”。

9．B。act as“充当，担当”。
