参考答案和解析
正确答案：
A
解析：
主旨归纳题。通过金伯利一案，法官按孩子的心愿，从有利于孩子的出发点，把孩子判给其养父监护、抚养，可看出这种判决体现了文章结尾的评论：孩子不是父母可以操纵的私有财产，我们应该从有利于孩子心愿出发而不能只从所谓生理上的亲情出发，反映了司法的公正，故A项“孩子不单单是父母的私有财产”与此同义。

The Differences Among Various Types of Adoption
In the US,there is a difference between public and private adoption.Public adoption typically involves taking _________ (51) foster（收养的）children and then adopting them after several months.It's significantly less expensive than private or international adoption,but more often than not_______(52)adopting children who are older than 5 or who have_______(53)needs.
Private adoptions offer a better chance of adopting newborns,and increasingly,birth parents _______(54)the adoptive parents themselves.That's not a bad idea on its face,as it gives biological parents_______ (55)say in whom they will relinquish（放弃）their children. But this effectively puts_______(56)parents in the position of advertising themselves to birth parents in newspapers and online,_______(57)many couples feel uncomfortable with.
Most states allow birth parents to reclaim their children_______(58)the children have been placed with adoptive families,for time periods ranging from a few days in some states to several months in others.Critics of international adoption say this rarely happens.They are only_______ (59)right:it's true that American birth parents don't usually reclaim their children once they've been placed with their adoptive families,but they can and do_______(60)their minds before the papers are signed.
International adoption is more expensive than any form of domestic adoption,but in many ways, it is also more straightforward.The_______(61)of a birth parent calling the adoption_______ (62)are effectively zero and while costs are high,they're also determined at the_______(63) and tend not to change as the_______(64)wears on.
Couples seeking to adopt should consider all_______(65)and get a range of perspectives before deciding which method is best for them._________(60)
A:make
B:put
C:change
D:set答案：C解析：本题考查对上下文的理解和动词短语辫析。第一段第一句提到：在美国，公共收养和私人收养的小孩之间存在差异，下面一句是沿着这个主题的进一步说明。选项D in与take组成短语take in“收留”符合上下文的要求。因此本题的正确选项应该是D。其余选项与take组成的短语的意思是：选项A take over“接管、接受”，一般指权利的移交；选项B take back“收回”；选项C take on“呈现”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词辫析。本空所在句句首的but表转折，说明接下来要解释其他不同的状况，所以选B means“意味着”。注意此空前面的more often than not是一个词组，表示“通常、常常”。选项A advise“建议”，公共收养有固有的规定，而不是建议；选项C admits“承认”；选项D considers“考虑”，主语一般都是人。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形容词辫析。这句话的意思是：公共收养的花费远比私人收养和国际收养的花费低，但公共收养的对象常常是5岁以上或者是有特殊需要的孩子。but的出现说明这句话内容上有要强调的部分，所以needs前选择选项B special “特别的”，符合题意。所以正确答案是选项B。不选其他选项的原因分别是：选项A precise “精确的”和选项C distinctive“独特的”一般都是表示特指；选项D occasional“偶尔的”修饰的是频率，在此不恰当。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词辫析。这句话的意思是：私人收养提供一个能够收养新生儿的机会，而且越来越多的亲生父母开始亲自为孩子选择养父母。选B的依据是下句话：从表面上来看，这种做法很不错，因为这使得亲生父母有决定孩子给谁收养的最终权利。因此，此空需要一个表达选择意思的词，所以选项B select“选择”是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是：选项A seal“密封”；选项C support“支持”；选项D delete"删除”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形容词辫析以及短语识别。这句话的意思是：从表面上来看，这种做法很不错，因为这使得亲生父母有决定孩子给谁收养的最终权利。选C的依据是：(the) final say是固定搭配，表示“最终决定权”，所以选项C final“最终的”是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形容词辫析。这句话的意思是：但这实际上是迫使想收养小孩的父母在报纸和网络上打广告，向孩子的亲生父母宣传自己，这会让许多夫妻感觉不舒服。此空中的形容词形容的是parents，且与后面的birth parents有联系，应该是有意愿收养的父母，所以选项B prospective“潜在的”是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是：选项 A respective“各自的”；选项C subjective“主观的”；选项D constructive“建设性的”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和语法知识。这句话的意思是：但这实际上……感觉不舒服。因为上一个分句已经是一个完整的句子，此空选择选项C something, 指代上一个分句的内容，同时作本分句的先行词。
本题考查对上下文的理解和语义逻辑。这句话的意思是：美国大多数州都允许亲生父母在将孩子交给养父母家后的一定时间内要回自己的孩子，时间期限从一些州的几天到其他州的几个月不等。“要回孩子”是在把孩子送出去以后再去要回来，所以选择选项D after“在……之后”。所以选项D是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和副词辫析。由下一句的句子格式“it's true that...but...”可知只是部分正确而已，所以选择选项A partly“部分地”。选项B justly“恰当地” 和选项C basically“基本地”与后面的but矛盾；而选项D accidentally“偶然地”则意思不符。所以选项A是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词短语搭配。这句话的意思是：的确，美国的亲生父母一旦将孩子交给养父母家，通常都不会要回孩子，但在签协议之前他们可以而且常常会改变主意。选C的依据是change one's mind“改变某人的主意”是固定搭配。若用make, 则应该是make up one's mind“下定决心”;put/set one's mind to是“全神贯注于……，专心于……”的意思，所以选项A、B、D均不符合题意。
本题考查对上下文的理解和名词辫析。这句话的意思是：亲生父母取消收养的可能性几乎为零。选C的依据是：此空是句子的主语，而句子的表语是zero“零”, chances有“可能性”之义，代入此处表示“可能性为零”，符合语义。所以选项C是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是：选项A hopes“希望”，选项B capabilities“能力”，选项D choices“选择”，均不符合文意。
本题考查对上下文的理解和短语辫析。各选项与call组成的短语意思分别是：call off“取消”;call on“拜访、号召”;call up“打电话、召集”;call for“需要、提倡”。联系上文的reclaim their children，这里应该是表示“取消收养”，选off。所以选项A off是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和短语固定搭配。选C的依据是：根据句末的 wears on可推断此处的时间顺序在前，at the outset“在开头时”符合语义，所以选项C是正确答案。其他选项与at the搭配的意思分别是：选项A at the corner“在拐角处”；选项B at the moment“此刻"；选项D at the time“那时候”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形近名词辫析。本句的意思是：亲生父母取消收养的可能性几乎为零，而且由于费用高，他们在一开始便会做好决定，在收养过程中一般不会改变主意。wear on表示“继续进行下去”，所以这里选择选项C process“过程”。不选择其他选项的原因分别是：选项A procedure指的是具体程序和步骤，与语义不符；选项B profile “外形，侧面”；选项D project“项目”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和名词辫析。选择B的依据是：对应后半句的 which method，可知寻求收养的父母是有多种方法可以选择的，所以选B options“选择”。situation“情况、事态”与后面的method并不对应；schedule“工作的安排、计划”; proposal比较正式的“建议，提案”。 -
第5题：
Text 1 Smartphones have by now been implicated in so many crummy outcomes-car fatalities,sleep disturbances,empathy loss,relationship problems,failure to notice a clown on a unicycle-that it almost seems easier to list the things they don't mess up than the things they do.Our society may be reaching peak criticism of digital devices.Even so.emerging research suggests that a kev Droblem remains underaDDreciated.It involves kids'development,but it's probably not what you think.More than screen-obsessed young children,we should be concerned about tuned-out parents.Yes,parents now have more face time with their children than did almost any parents in history.Despite a dramatic increase in the percentage of women in the workforce,mothers today astoundingly spend morc time caring for their children than mothers did in the 1960s.But the engagement between parent and child is increasingly Iow-quality,even ersatz.Parents are constantly present in their children's lives physically,but they are less emotionally attuned.To be clear,I'm not unsympathetic to parents in this predicament.My own adult children like to joke that they wouldn't have survived infancy ifl'd had a smartphone in my clutches 25 years ago.To argue that parents'use of screens is an underappreciated problem isn't to discount the direct risks screens pose to children:Substantial evidence suggests that many types of screen time（especially those involving fast-paced or violent imagery）are damaging to young brains.Today's preschoolers spend more than four hours a day facing a screen.And,since 1970,the average age of onset of"regular"screen use has gone from 4 years to just four months.Some of the newer interactive games kids play on phones or tablets may be more benign than watching TV or YouTube,in that they better mimic children's natural play behaviors.And,of course,many well-functioning adults survived a mind-numbing childhood spent watching a lot of cognitive garbage.（My mother-unusually for her time-prohibited Speed Racer and Gilligan's Island on the grounds of insipidness.That I somehow managed to watch every single episode of each show scores of times has never been explained.）Still,no one really disputes the tremendous opportunity costs to young children who are plugged in to a screen:Time spent on devices is time not spent actively exploring the world and relating to other human beings.
We can learn from the first two paragraphs that smartphones_____A.hardly have any advantages
B.bring numerous bad effects
C.bear the most severed criticism
D.have little effect on parents答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据定位词定位到文章第一、二段。第一段提到智能手机带来的危害太多，不能一一列出，但是列出没有被它们干扰的事情似乎还是比较容易的，即B项为合理推断，故B项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项“几乎没有任何优势”，属于推理过度；原文提到我们的社会对于电子设备的批判可能正值前所未有的高度，C项将可能变成了肯定，故排除；原文第二段提到除了关注沉迷于电子设备的儿童，我们还应该关注那些被电子设备分心的父母，可见父母也受电子设备的影响，D项错误。 -

Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother
In general,I think Western parenting gives children too much freedom at too young an age.The average American child spends almost 70 percent more time watching television than attending school.In the recent PISA international tests,the US came out an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math一with Shanghai children ranked No 1.Western children have alarming rates of alcohol and drug abuse and teenage pregnancy,too.On the other hand,American universities continue to be the envy of the world,and the US excels at teaching creativity,innovation and leadership.
What are the lessons for China then?Here are a few things China may be able to learn from the West.
First,while children in the West have too much choice,their counterparts in China may have too little.In between school,tutoring and lessons,many Chinese children work nonstop,getting little opportunity to have fun with friends,explore on their own and discover what they truly enjoy.What I learned is that as children grow up,parents should listen to their choices more carefully and gradually
give them more freedom to pursue their own passions.
Second,Chinese parents should pay more attention to their children's individual personalities. Every child is different. So depending on children's natural predispositions（秉性）,different career paths will make them happy. Some people may find it more fulfilling to become a photographer or fashion designer instead of a doctor. If Chinese parents become more open-minded in what they consider"success",it may help lessen the intense competition and pressure that many Chinese children feel.
Finally,Chinese parents are good at getting their children to memorize,practice and drill一skills I believe the West needs more of一but they should also find ways to encourage creativity and initiative.My daughters were lucky because my husband taught them the value of independent thinking. He always asked"why".Just because someone told you so,how do you know it's right?
Parenting is the hardest job I've ever had.When Lulu rebelled and I began questioning everything I'd done.I feel very lucky that I adjusted in time一today my daughters and I are close friends一and I wanted to share my story with other mothers,because we are all struggling with the same problem:how can we raise happy,strong,self-reliant children?The author has more than one children.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：文章第四段，作者提到“…different career paths will make them happy" ,只要考虑到孩子迥异的天性，不管什么样的职业都会使他们获得幸福，所以该判断正确。
从第一章中间看到美国孩子在测试中处于“an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math"，即科学和数学的排名都靠后，相反，上海孩子在两者均名列第一。所以，该判断不正确。
文第五段指出西方孩子需要更多的记忆和操练，但是，后面的“they (他们）”指的是中国孩子，即中国孩子需要“find ways to encourage creativity and initiative"，鼓励他们的创造力。
第四段的条件句“If Chinese parents become more open-minded ...”表明，中国家长思想还不够开明，所以，该判断正确。
第一段的最后一句指出，美国大学“continue to be the envy of the world", 依然广受世人羡慕。
倒数第二段中间用了“my daughters"，这说明作者不只是一个孩子的母亲。
尽管第三段开头说美国孩子“have too much choice"，但是并没有具体说到他们可以自主选择是否上大学，所以选C。 -

"SeasameStreet"has been called"the longest street in the world".
This is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts ofthe world.

Why has"Seasame Street"been so much more successful than other children′sshows?Many reasons have been suggested.Perhaps one reason is that motherswatch"Seasame Street"along with their children.But the best reasonfor the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching itfeel able to learn.The child finds himself learning,and he wants to learnmore.

第13题：
Parents can have a great impact on the development of their children's creativity in art. But first，they have to know how. They may find the following advice interesting and instructive.
Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop the possibility of self-expression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself. As an art teacher says，“Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learn language easily. ”In fact，a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is the beginning of literacy and creativity. Also，parents should not teach their kids“how”to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children，making them think they can't do it the “right”way.
Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation. A child's natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing.
Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things like，“I can't draw a straight line. ”Instead，they should learn to say，“I love to create. ”This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product. If children see their parents drawing，cooking or building creatively，they will do the same.
Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making up stories，writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly，expressing himself.
Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums，science centers，libraries and children's museums all are great places to see other people's creativity. That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions.
Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.
In short，parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves. That means not always teaching and commanding.
To develop their artistic creativity，children should be encouraged to______.
A．draw freely and roughly
B．learn to draw realistic pictures
C．know how to draw before they start
D．learn to draw good pictures to get prizes
正确答案：A

第16题：
Children for whom school has no point
Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
The Home Office__.A.has given powers to the police to pick up parents
B.will give money to parents to send children to school
C.will go to the family and persuade parents and their children
D.will punish parents who fail to send their children to school答案：D解析：最后一段。家庭办公室也实施一种政策，即不送孩子进校念书的家长要被罚款，并赋予警察权力。警察可以抓游荡在街上的学龄儿童。 -
