24、.at bestB.at homeC.at heartD.at hand答案：A【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉父母应该如何教育孩子从而让他们健康独立地成长。1.B解析:考查形容词辨析。根据下文的“itshardtolet2ofyourchildren”和“andallowingthemtolearnfromtheirownmistakes”可推知,所有的父母都要为孩子的独立人生做准备。2.A解析:考查固定搭配。由最后一段的“Butthemostimportantpointisthattheyalsoneedtolearnhowtoletgo.”可知,选A项。letgoof意为“放手
25、”,为固定词组。3.C解析:考查名词辨析。让孩子保持安全又可以从自己的错误中学习,这是一种艰难的平衡(balance)。4.A解析:考查形容词辨析。这种平衡并不容易,有的时候让人心碎(heartbreaking)。5.C解析:考查固定搭配。根据“but”的提示可知,此处在讲事物的另一个方面。ontheotherhand“另一方面”,符合语境。6.A解析:考查形容词辨析。根据空后的“moreabletofindnewsolutionstooldproblems”可推知,年轻人更具有创造性。creative“有创造力的”。7.B解析:考查名词辨析。由上文的“theyoung,beinglessbo
26、undbytradition”和“moreabletofindnewsolutionstooldproblems”可推知,年轻人更具有创造性,会引领新的变革。8.B解析:考查不定式辨析。好的老师培养学生的批判性思维,结果却发现这会对老师的基本信念形成挑战。onlytofind“结果发现”。9.D解析:考查形容词辨析。根据空后的“butareoftenembarrassedwhenparentshavedoubtsaboutsomeoftheeducationalmethodsbeingused”可推知,学校鼓励父母参与(involved)孩子的教育活动。10.A解析:考查形容词辨析。根据上文的
27、“theyoung,beinglessboundbytradition”可知,年轻人不受传统束缚,往往比较叛逆,但他们对社会的发展却很重要。11.D解析:考查副词辨析。(这些叛逆的)年轻人并不一定是他们想要代表的那些人的代表。notnecessarily“不一定”,符合语境。12.B解析:考查动词辨析。参见上题解析。“representatives”是提示。13.C解析:考查连词辨析。根据语境可推知,上下文表示逻辑上的转折关系。14.A解析:考查短语动词辨析。由“preventtheirchildrenfromfindingways”可知,选A项。engagein意为“参与,从事”,符合语境。
28、resultin“导致”;persistin“坚持”;believein“相信”。15.C解析:考查副词辨析。根据语境可知,此处是对一个事实的描述,故选C项,与下文的“thefacts”呼应。16.B解析:考查形容词辨析。根据常识可推知,禁果有时候的确诱人。confusing“令人困惑的”;inviting“诱人的”;astonishing“令人惊讶的”;shocking“惊人的”。17.C解析:考查名词辨析。禁果诱人只是因为它不被权威(authority)所接受。18.C解析:考查介词辨析。家长要和孩子一起学习,让孩子了解这些事实。educatesb.onsth.“教育某人了解某物”。19.
29、A解析:考查副词辨析。“support”和上文的“know”“provide”和“encourage”等是逻辑上的并列关系,鼓励并支持他们。also“也”,符合语境。20.D解析:考查连词辨析。空处应用what引导宾语从句,在从句中做主语。此处表示当他们没有按照期望做事情时。故选D项。B【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章就家长对孩子影响的问题进行了介绍。我们能从许多孩子的身上或多或少地看到他们父母的影子。1.B解析:考查介词辨析。本题属于惯用搭配题,identifywith在这里表示“认为同一,等同”,即“孩子把自己假设成父亲或母亲”,所以B项正确。2.B解析:考查形容词辨析。informed
30、“见多识广的”;characteristic“典型的”;conceived“想象的”;indicative“指示的,预示的”。characteristicofsb.“某人的特征”,符合“当他们认为自己拥有属于父母特有的品质和情感时”这一语境。故选B项。3.C解析:考查名词辨析。gesture“姿态,手势”;expression“表情”;way“方式”;extent“范围”。只有way符合句意,即父母的言行方式。故选C项。4.A解析:考查名词辨析。空格所在句意为“父母的言行以及他们的言行方式对孩子的影响很大”,结合四个选项可知A项正确。5.A解析:考查名词辨析。person“人”;human“人
31、类”;creature“生物”;adult“成年人”。结合句意可知,A项正确。6.C解析:考查副词辨析。上文谈到父母的言行对孩子的行为影响很大,这里谈到父母的言行还影响孩子的自我形象。故选C项。7.D解析:考查介词辨析。此处意为“孩子身份认同形成的自我形象”,只有through(通过)符合句意,且文章第二句已给出提示。故选D项。8.B解析:考查名词辨析。根据下一句中的“intheirparents”可知B项正确。9.A解析:考查形容词辨析。由上句话中的“positive”可以推测出此处应是其反义词,所以A项正确。10.B解析:考查固定搭配。havedifficulty(in)doingsth.
32、“做某事有困难”,是固定搭配,所以B项正确。11.A解析:考查动词辨析。空格处所在句意为“然而,在他们13岁之前,由于他们越来越于同龄人的标准,他们可能会自我形象”。modify“修改,更改”;copy“复制”;giveup“放弃”;continue“继续”。A项最符合句意。12.B解析:考查词汇辨析。mature“成熟的”;influenced“被影响的”;unique“独一无二的”;independent“独立的”。结合句意可知,B项正确。13.C解析:考查副词辨析。本句的意思是“孤立的事件,富有戏剧性的事,都不一定会对孩子的行为产生永久的”,由此可推知空格处应填入表示递进关系的词,所以C
33、项正确。14.D解析:考查短语搭配。havea(n).effecton“对产生影响”,是惯用搭配,所以D项正确。15.B解析:考查副词及短语。此处举例说明孩子们如何利用已有的态度等理解某些事情。故选B项。16.A解析:考查名词辨析。本句中or连接的两部分应是意义相似的令人不愉快的事,而在四个选项中,与divorce相对应的词只有death,所以A项正确。17.A解析:考查惯用搭配。interpret.as“把理解为”,是惯用搭配,所以A项正确。18.C解析:考查副词辨析。句意:不是所有的孩子都受到玩具、游戏、读物和电视节目的影响。alike“同样地”,符合句意,所以C项正确。19.D解析:考查
34、副词。as“正如”,符合句意,故选D项。A、B两项是感叹词,后面多用逗号,应排除;right不符合句意,也应排除。20.B解析:考查名词辨析。句意为“一次活动或经历对一个孩子的影响取决于他/她如何看待它”。result“结果”;effect“影响”;scale“程度”;cause“原因”。故B项正确。C【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。美国人一生总在迁移,或为了上学,或因为工作,还有的是因为退休后找个地方养老。如今,很多美国人喜欢夏季出国旅游,除了观光还希望能开始一段友情。1.C解析:由文章首句可知,几乎没有一个美国人一生只待在一个地方不动。他们从城市搬到郊区,从中学到不同州的大学。move“移动
35、”;drive“驾驶”;commute“上下班往返”;settle“解决,定居”。2.B解析:为找到更好的工作从一地搬到另一地。elsewhere“在别处”;abroad“在国外”;somewhere“在某处”;nowhere“无处”。3.D解析:从养育孩子的家到计划退休居住的家。raise“提高,养育”;deliver“递送”;protect“保护”;educate“教育”。故选D项。4.A解析:从养育孩子的家到计划退休居住的家。故选A项。retirement“退休”;death“死”;illness“疾病”;sadness“伤心”。5.D解析:随着每次移动,“我”们永远交新朋友。故选D项。
36、forever“永远”;mostly“多半地”;mainly“主要地”;rarely“几乎不”。6.B解析:由下文可知,今天,数百万美国人在夏季到国外度假。因为夏天是一个度假的好时候,所以对“我”们大多数人来说夏天是一个交友的特殊时候。7.D解析:今天,数百万美国人到国外度假。8.B解析:他们在度假的地方遇见新朋友并不感到太奇怪。9.C解析:没有人真正指望度假中会交到一个亲密的朋友。10.D解析:当然每个国家都珍惜友情。11.B解析:对于美国人来说,“朋友”这个词可以应用在广泛的人际关系中。apply“应用”;use“使用”;stick“卡住”;dedicate“把奉献给”。故选B项。12.C
37、解析:根据上文的“aclosebusinesscompanion”可推测此处表示一个可信赖的同事。故选C项。trusted“可信的”;kind“和蔼的”;generous“慷慨的”;helpful“有益的”。13.A解析:对美国人来说上文提到的这些关系有真正的区分。difference“区分,不同”;variety“种类”;richness“丰富”;diversity“多样性”。故选A项。14.C解析:一种有友谊可能是肤浅的,随便的,环境形成的或深厚的,永久的。shallow“浅的”;informal“非正式的”;reliable“可靠的”;fragile“易碎的”。shallow和deep相
38、对,故选C项。15.A解析:正如欧洲人所看到的,各种各样的朋友进进出出美国家庭,毫无礼仪可言。故选A项。inandout“进进出出”;onandon“继续不停地”;byandby“不久,马上”;upanddown“上上下下”。16.D解析:作为一个客人来到美国家庭,欧洲游客会发现没有明显的区别。故选D项。17.A解析:欧洲游客会发现没有明显的区别。obvious“明显的”;heavy“重的”;explicit“明确的”;strong“强壮的”。故选A项。18.C解析:根据下文可知,此处表示气氛是放松的。relaxed“放松的”;weird“怪异的”;stressed“紧张的”;strange“奇怪的”。故选C项。19.D解析:句意:多数人,不论老少,用名字称呼。callsbby.“称呼某人”。20.B解析:美国人对不同类型关系的开放性特征,使“我”们有可能在国外找到让“我”们感到舒适自在的新朋友。athome“舒适自在”;atbest“充其量”;atheart“内心里”;athand“近在手边”。故选B项。
