A: make
B: give
C: have
D: do答案：D解析：此处阐明作者的观点，只有view能代表对某方面的“见解”或“观点”，其他选项只是单纯的“想法”或是“决定”，不合题意。
a number of是固定搭配，修饰可数名词，表示数量上“很多”。
can’t afford to do sth．为惯用语，表示“负担不起……”。
此题四个选项在语法上都能与前面的out of搭配，out of reason意为“无理的，不合理的”,out of duty与out of task意思是“出于责任，任务的”,out of necessity“有必要，出于……的必要”，综合分析只有C选项填入此空较为合理。
固定搭配he cut out for/be cutout to do sth．意为“适合于，天生就是做某事的料”, make out“理解，辫认出；亲热”,bring out“使显出；出版；生产”，只有B选项符合文意。
it comes to sth．为惯用说法，在这里意思是“涉及”，整句说的是“当涉及儿童托管时，有许多方式可供选择”,referto意为“指……而言”。
across the street意为“街对面”，其他选项的词搭配不当，故选C。
前面说父母有很多选择。此处说很多父母根本没有选择的余地，可见空内应为转折词however。因此C项正确。
no matter+疑问词，表示“无论……”，此句意为“不管你选的托管方式有多好，一些孩子被留下时，都会激烈杭议”。因此B项正确。
perfectly normal为惯用说法，意思是“完全正常的”，其他选项虽说在语法上与逻辑上也不错，但perfectly更好些。
family members“家庭成员”，其他选项均不适合，C为正确答案。
首先从逻辑上排除A和B选项，一定是留给孩子足够“多”的时间。C选项lots后面若能加上介词of则构成修饰可数名字的短语，lots of“许多的”，原文中被修饰词time 是不可数名词，只有D选项plenty of可以修饰不可数名词，表示“大量的”。
四个选项中除了fond与of搭配，意为“喜欢”之外，其他的选项都可与to搭配，be used to sth./doing“习惯于（做）某事”,be attached to“依附于，依恋于”,be keen to do sth.“急切，渴望”，此处孩子要“依恋于”母亲，因此B选项正确。
此处意为“为你的孩子做到最好”，一般用do one's best for，而不用make one's best, 若想用give，则是give one's best to，因此只有D选项符合要求。
上半句的quantity已经对此题的答案做出了暗示，一定是“质量”quality与“数量” quantity相对。 -

A:afford
B:decide
C:hope
D:expect答案：A解析：该句意思是：我个人的观点是如果妈妈们想工作，就让她们工作。view意思是“观点”,符合句意。idea想法，主意；thought想法；decision决定。
a number of是固定搭配，修饰可数名词，意思是“很多”，符合句意。percentage百分比；group组，群；proportion比例。
该句意思是：有这样一些妈妈们，她们已投入了大半生去创建事业，若是失去这份事业，她们承受不起。can ' t afford to do sth．意思是“不能够，承受不起”，符合句意。

A: percentage
B: group
C: number
D: proportion答案：C解析：此处阐明作者的观点，只有view能代表对某方面的“见解”或“观点”，其他选项只是单纯的“想法”或是“决定”，不合题意。
a number of是固定搭配，修饰可数名词，表示数量上“很多”。
can’t afford to do sth．为惯用语，表示“负担不起……”。
此题四个选项在语法上都能与前面的out of搭配，out of reason意为“无理的，不合理的”,out of duty与out of task意思是“出于责任，任务的”,out of necessity“有必要，出于……的必要”，综合分析只有C选项填入此空较为合理。
固定搭配he cut out for/be cutout to do sth．意为“适合于，天生就是做某事的料”, make out“理解，辫认出；亲热”,bring out“使显出；出版；生产”，只有B选项符合文意。
it comes to sth．为惯用说法，在这里意思是“涉及”，整句说的是“当涉及儿童托管时，有许多方式可供选择”,referto意为“指……而言”。
across the street意为“街对面”，其他选项的词搭配不当，故选C。
前面说父母有很多选择。此处说很多父母根本没有选择的余地，可见空内应为转折词however。因此C项正确。
no matter+疑问词，表示“无论……”，此句意为“不管你选的托管方式有多好，一些孩子被留下时，都会激烈杭议”。因此B项正确。
perfectly normal为惯用说法，意思是“完全正常的”，其他选项虽说在语法上与逻辑上也不错，但perfectly更好些。
family members“家庭成员”，其他选项均不适合，C为正确答案。
首先从逻辑上排除A和B选项，一定是留给孩子足够“多”的时间。C选项lots后面若能加上介词of则构成修饰可数名字的短语，lots of“许多的”，原文中被修饰词time 是不可数名词，只有D选项plenty of可以修饰不可数名词，表示“大量的”。
四个选项中除了fond与of搭配，意为“喜欢”之外，其他的选项都可与to搭配，be used to sth./doing“习惯于（做）某事”,be attached to“依附于，依恋于”,be keen to do sth.“急切，渴望”，此处孩子要“依恋于”母亲，因此B选项正确。
此处意为“为你的孩子做到最好”，一般用do one's best for，而不用make one's best, 若想用give，则是give one's best to，因此只有D选项符合要求。
上半句的quantity已经对此题的答案做出了暗示，一定是“质量”quality与“数量” quantity相对。 -

A:view
B:idea
C:thought
D:decision答案：A解析：该句意思是：我个人的观点是如果妈妈们想工作，就让她们工作。view意思是“观点”,符合句意。idea想法，主意；thought想法；decision决定。
a number of是固定搭配，修饰可数名词，意思是“很多”，符合句意。percentage百分比；group组，群；proportion比例。
该句意思是：有这样一些妈妈们，她们已投入了大半生去创建事业，若是失去这份事业，她们承受不起。can ' t afford to do sth．意思是“不能够，承受不起”，符合句意。
该句意思是：还有很多母亲是出于经济上的原因必须工作。out of necessity意思是“有必要，出于……的必要”，符合句意。out of reason无理的，不合理的；out of duty出于责任的，out of task出于任务的。
be cut out to be sth．是固定搭配，意思是“适合于，天生就是做某事的料”，符合句意。
when it comes to ( doing ) sth．是惯用说法，意思是“提及，涉及”，符合句意。refer to 意思是“涉及，与……相关”，但是并没有when it refers to(doing)sth．的用法。
该句意思是：可以把孩子委托给托儿所、保姆、奶奶或是街对面的好心女士。across the street意思是“街对面”，符合句意。
in reality意思是“在现实情况下”，符合句意。in addition另外；in result结果；in contrast对比之下。
该句意思是：不管你选的托管方式有多好，一些孩子被留下时，都会激烈抗议。no matter+疑问词，表示“无论，不管……”，符合句意。no way没门；no surprise没有惊奇；no exception没有例外。
perfectly normal为惯用说法，意思是“完全正常的”，符合句意。extremely极其，极端地；very非常；certainly肯定地。
该句意思是：婴儿六个月以后会对母亲和亲密的家庭成员产生依恋。family members意思是“家庭成员”，符合句意。
根据逻辑判断，该句意思是：妈妈们要保证在第一周用足够多的时间来帮助孩子安稳下来。plenty of意思是“大量的”，可修饰不可数名词，符合句意。
be attached to意思是“依附于，依恋于”，此处指孩子依恋于母亲，符合句意。be used tosth．习惯于某事；be keen to do sth．急切，渴望；fond不与to连用。
do the best fo：为惯用说法，意思是“为……做到最好”，此处意为“为你的孩子做到最好”。
上半句中的quantity“数量”已经对此题的答案做出了暗示，一定是quality“质量”与之相对，该句意思是：“你与孩子相处时间的长短不重要，相处过程中的质量才重要”。 -
第16题：
问答题Today, thanks to advances in brain research, we know that reading with a child has intellectual, emotional and physical benefits that can enhance the child’s development. The intimacy of sharing books and stories strengthens the emotional bonds between a parent and child, helps a child learn words and concepts, and actually stimulates the growth of a baby’s brain. Scientists have discovered that children whose parents read and talk to them during the first three years of life create a stronger foundation for future reading success.正确答案：
如今,在大脑研究方面所取得的进展,使我们知道和孩子一起阅读对他的智力、情感和身体都有益处,可以促进他的成长。与孩子亲昵地分享图书和故事会增强父母与孩子之间的亲情,帮助孩子学习词汇和概念,并能激发孩子大脑的发育。科学家发现,三岁前给孩子念故事,和孩子交谈,这会为他们将来的阅读能力奠定较为坚实的基础。解析： 暂无解析
