6. A. comes to　　　　　　　　 B. knocks

　 C. opens　　　　　　　　　 D. breaks into

答案：A　 指导：comes to此处意为“来到门边(敲门)”。Knocks at／on the door才是正确表达；此处是考验孩子的安全意识，因此外人不可能“打开”门和“破门而入”。

5. A. starting　　　　　　　　 B. questioning

　 C. ending　　　　　　　　　 D. handing

答案：C　 指导：endingwith(以…结束)，与前面的beginning with(以……开始)对应。B、C两项都不能与介词with搭配，前面已经用了beginningwith，故此处不能再用startingwith。

4. A. ask　　　　 B. make　　 C. prepare　　　 D. answer

答案：D 指导：让孩子“回答”问题，目的是训练孩子的安全防范意识。此处是考查孩子的安全意识，故其他选项不合语境。

3. A. large　　　 B. clean　　 C. close　　　　 D. safe

答案：D　 指导：孩子独自在家时，家长一定要采取措施确保“安全”。其他形容词都没有涉及文章的中心话题。

2. A. decide　　　 B. allow　　 C. make　　　　 D. hear

答案：A指导：decide+that-clause．．．意为“断定……”。

1. A. raised　　　　　　　　　 B. instructed

　 C. interviewed　　　　　　 D. talked

答案：C　 指导：本文是通过一次“采访”调查反映了孩子独自在家的心理。

20. A. heard　　 B. admitted　 C. noticed　　 D. accepted

答案：D　 指导：承接上文的逻辑，Sigmund Freud医生仅仅倾听精神病人的谈话，即“接受”他们的谈话内容。hear仅仅是“听到”；admit是“承认”错误等；notice"注意到”指的是眼睛的动作。

　　　 Children are being cared about by their parents. However, more than three-quarters of children we 　1　 　said they were sometimes afraid to be home alone. If you 　2　 your child is mature (成熟) enough to be home alone before or after school, you should make sure your house is　 3　 and teach your child how to handle various situations.

　　　 Make a game of your instructions. Have your child　 　4　 　questions beginning with"What would you do if" and 　5　 with phrases like "you lost your key" or "someone you don't know　 6 　the door."

　　　 In fact, the best home safety is prevention. Every home should have　 7　 detectors to prevent fire. Leaving a radio　 8　　 during the day makes a home　 9　　 occupied (有人) . Besides, as one child said, "It's frightful 　10　 　into a quiet house." Don't leave an extra key in 　11　 hiding places, such as under the door mat (擦鞋垫).　 12　 it with a neighbor in stead.

　　 When your 　13　 is home alone, the phone is a necessary link. A　 　14　 should always be found 　15 　. Children should know where to find emergency (紧急情况用的)numbers, and how to 　16 　the phone and take a message without 　17 　an unknown caller find out 　18　 else is home. You might buy a telephone- answering machine. Your child would then be able to pick up the receiver only when he heard a 　19　 　voice. If you help your child understand your warning, he will be more

　 20　 of himself about staying home.

19. A. attempt　 B. plan　　　 C. sign　　　　 D. movement

答案：A　 make at tempt是固定搭配，当“试图、努力”讲，此处表示Sigmund Freud医生不去试图阻止病人谈话。把握好了题意，可以排除其他选项，不是做“手势”，更不是指定“计划”或不“运动”。

18. A. did　　　 B. said　　　 C. thought　　 D. acted

答案：B　 指导：此处指Sigmund Freud医生总是在耐心倾听，而自己说得很少。把握特定的语境可以排除其他选项。

17. A. memoriesB, events　　 C. dreams　　　 D. friends

答案：B　 指导：Sigmund Freud医生让病人谈论她们儿时的“事情”。events当“事件、大事件”讲。memories"记忆”与前面的talk about不搭配；dreams"梦想”太片面；friends也是太片面。
