解析:
| 1、此处raising是“养育”之意,现在分词作定语修饰parents。
2、根据题意,此处是要说明家庭规模的大小。 3、attend school是“上学”的意思。 4、依据其前面比较过去和现在的求学时间,这里也对依赖家庭的时间进行比较,所以用比较级。 5、“穿着很好或差”英语表达方式应是be well/ poorly dressed。根据文章内容来看以及和从前相比应是“穿着比以前好”,所以答案为C。 6、此题主要是动介搭配关系:spend…on搭配是正确的;pay后不接on而接for。cost和take在此处不适合此句型。 7、take the responsibility for是“负起责任”的意思。 8、根据上下文,此句的意思应该是“现在家庭成员的关系没有像过去那么亲近”。 9、依据上下文,此处应该是“越来越多的母亲走出家门去工作”。 10、此处表示“当……时候”,因此C、D两项可以排除。由于状语从句中的divorced在此处是不及物动词,表示动作,是短暂性动词,所以不可用while只能用when。 11、根据上下文,此处是说“许多美国孩子是与单亲一起生活”。 12、result in是动词短语,表示“引起,导致”的意思;result from是表示“由……所引起”的意思。 13、依据语法结构,此处缺少谓语动词,因此A、B两项可排除。根据上下文,此处是指“孩子由于父母离异而责备自己”,所以D项是正确答案。 14、each other是指“双方相互离开”。 15、care forspan>是“照看,照顾”之意。A项take care后缺of。Care of结构不正确。Mind此处不合题意。 16、supporting接在while后作时间状语,等于一个时间状语从句的功用。 17、marry不能与with搭配,所以A、C两项可以排除。Marry可用作及物动词,后面无须跟随介词。 18、develop…relationship是表示“发展……的关系”,符合题意。 19、rising此处表示增长;A项raise是及物动词,在此处使用不合适。 20、根据句意以及语法结构,只能选D。表示多么重要。

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
