29、读】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了美国爱儿童日的起源，目的和所作出的贡献。1falls考查时态。分析句子可知，本句为一般现在时，主语为it，所以谓语为第三人称单数。故填falls。2Its考查形容词。句意：该节日的目的是为了对美国儿童表示庆祝，让人们重视“在爱中成长”的重要性。its为形容词性物主代词修饰后面的名词aim。故填Its。3importance考查名词。短语stress the importance of.意为 “强调的重要性”。then.of意为“的”。故填importance。4from/against考查介词。句意：该节日希望促进家庭和睦，增强人们对保护儿童免受社会伤害的意识。p
30、rotect sb.from/against.意为“保护某人免受”。故填from/against。5who/that考查定语从句。分析句子可知，children为先行词。在后面的定语从句中作主语，所以关系代词为who/that。故填who/that。6parents考查名词。parent为可数名词，这里指孩子们将来成为父母，所以parent应该用复数。故填parents。7was started考查语态。由 “15 years ago”可知，本句为一般过去时；根据 “by the organization Love Our Children USA”可知，主语National Love Our Children Day与谓语start为被动关系。故填was started。8pleased考查形容词。feel为感官动词后接形容词作表语，这里表示让孩子们高兴，故应填形容词pleased。9to spend考查非谓语动词。句型advise sb.to do sth.意为“建议某人做某事”。故填to spend。10a考查冠词。 for a long time意为“很久”，为固定搭配。故填a。
