    _________(63)
    A:track
    B:path
    C:road
    D:way

    答案:D
    解析:
    push意为“推”, attract意为“吸引”, fetch意为“抵达”, bring意为“带来”。 attract与介词to搭配意为“被······吸引”。该句的意思是“在科技空前发展的时代,很多人对回首往事沉迷不已”,因此选择B项。
    lay out意为“布置,设计”,make out意为“理解,辫认出”;put out意为“熄灭,出版”;find out意为“发现”。本句是说“人们试图探查更多的历史”,因此选择D项。
    fairly意为“相当地,公平地”, greatly意为“巨大地,伟大地”, mostly意为 “大多地,主要地”, widely意为“宽广地”。本句含义是“这已经成为一种迅速增长的业余爱好,特别是在历史相当短的国家,如澳大利亚和美国”。因此选项A是正确的。
    It is one thing ..., it is quite another thing ..“一方面······,另一方面······”是固定搭配。该句意思是“花费时间去查阅一本有关家族史的书,并去探究家族的过去是一方面”,因此选择B项。
    see through意为“看穿”, move through意为“穿过”, live through意为“度过,经受住”,go through意为“经受,仔细检查”。选择C项。
    idea意为“观点”, plan意为“计划”, purpose意为“目的”, decision意为 “决定”。选择D项。
    It is one thing..., it is quite another thing… 是固定搭配,含义是“一方面······,另一方面······”。本句意思是“成功地实施这项研究工作却是另一方面”,选择A项。
    本句考的是与problem搭配的动词,本句意思是“杂乱无序地开始很容易,如果开始有一点计划,就能避免引起很多麻烦”,cause problem是固定搭配,意思是“引起问题”,因此选择B项。
    miss意为“错过”,lost是lose过去式意为“失去”,avoid意为“避免”,escape意为“逃跑”。选择C项。
    connect与with搭配意为“与······有关系”,join with意为“加入”;attach 与to搭配意为“依附,加入”;related与to搭配意为“与······有关系”。本句是说“如果你家族的故事写着你与某个名人有着一定的关系”,因此应该选择A项。
    treat意为“对待”,control意为“控制”,contact意为“联系,接触”,direct意为“指引”。该句意思是“把它当成一个有趣的可能事件对待再好不过”,因此选项A最合适。
    本句的意思是“用一个简单的系统来搜集和存储信息足以让你有个好的开头”。 with意为“随着,支持,和······在一起”;by意为“通过,依据,经由”;for意为“为了”; through意为“通过,穿过”。
    track意为“痕迹,踪迹”,path意为“小径”,road意为“道路”,way意为“途径,方式”。该句意思是“越复杂的方式可能只会扰乱你的方寸”,因此选项D符合题意。
    get started是固定搭配,意为“开始”。本句意思是“行动起来是最重要的”,因此选项A最合适。
    本句考查的是情态动词,should意为“应该”,might在疑问句中表示“可能会”,ought和to搭配意为“应该”,must意为“必须,可能”,当“可能”讲时不常在疑问句中使用。该句是说“谁知道你会发现什么呢”。因此选择B项。

    6._________
    A:idea
    B:plan
    C:purpose
    D:decision

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据上下文,句意为“人们被追溯往事所吸引”。A项push与介词to搭配意为“推向”;C项fetch做不及物动词为“取得,拿到”;D项brought与介词to搭配意为“恢复知觉”;而B项attracted与介词to搭配意为“被……吸引”,故选B。
    根据句意“人们试图查明更多的历史”,此处动词应有“查找,查明”之意。A 项lay out“布置,设计”,B项make out“理解,辫认出”;C项put out“熄灭,出版”,均与句意不符;D项find out有“找出,查明”之意。故选D。
    本题考查副词。其中B项greatly意为“很,大大地”;C项mostly意为“主要地,通常”;D项widely意为“广泛地”。本句意为“……特别是那些有相当短历史的国家 ……”,根据句意只有A选项fairly有“相当”的意思,符合句意,故选A。
    考查固定搭配。It is one thing..., it is quite another thing…“一方面……,另一方面……”,故选B。
    考查介词搭配。A项see与through搭配意为“看穿,识破”;B项move与介词through搭配意为“穿过”;D项live与through搭配意为“度过,经受住”。根据句意“……花费时间去仔细查阅一本书……”只有C选项go through“经受,仔细检查”符合句意,故选C。
    句意为“并促使你决心去探究家族的过去”。A项idea“主意,概念” B项plan“计划”;只有D项有“下决心”之意。take the decision to do是短语,意为“下定决心做某事”。故选D。
    本题考查固定搭配。It is one thing..., it is quite another thing...“一方面……,另一方面……”。故选A。
    句意为“但如果开始有一点点计划,就能避免引起那么多麻烦。”此处应选择与problem相搭配有“引起”之意的动词。A项produce“制造”;C项build“建筑”;D项create“创造,创作”;B项cause“引起,使发生,导致,招致”,经常与troubles, problems, disasters搭配使用。故选择B。
    句意为“但如果开始有一点点计划,就能避免引起那么多麻烦”,此处应填有避免之意的动词。A项miss“漏掉,错过”;B项lost“遗失,失败”;D项escaped“逃脱,避开”; 而C项avoid意为“避免,避开,躲避”,与句意相符。故选C。
    句意为“如果你家族的故事写着你与某个名人有着一定的关系”,而选项B join with意为“加入”;选项C attach (to)为“依附,加入”;选项D be related to=be connect-ed with,“与……有关系”;只有选项A connect可与with搭配,意为“与……有关系”。故选A。
    此句意为“把它当成一个有趣的可能事件再好不过。”B项control“控制,管理”;C项contact“使接触”;D项direct“管理,指挥,导演”;而A项treat可与介词as搭配,意为“把……当做……”,与句意相符。故选A。
    考查介词。此句句意为“用一个简单的系统来收集和存储信息”,A项with “随着,支持,和…在一起”;B项by“通过,依据,经由”;D项through“通过,穿过,凭借”,C项 for“为了,为,适合于”符合句意,故选C。
    此句意为“……越复杂的方式可能只会扰乱你的方寸”,A项track“轨道,总计,小道”;B项path“道路”;C项road“公路,马路”;D项way“方法,方向”,get in your way是固定格配,意思是“阻档你的道路”。故选D。
    get started,固定搭配,意为“开始,被启动”。故选A。
    考查情态动词的用法。此句意为“但谁知道你会发现什么呢?” C项ought 有应当之意,而D项must引导一般疑问句,表示“必须做某事”,与句意不符。此句是对未来的可能性的一种反问,所以B选项might符合句意。故选B。

    Self-reliance

    The most important thing to understand about Americans is probably their_______(51)to "individualism".They have been trained_______(52)very early in their lives to consider them-selves as_______(53)individuals who are responsible for their own situation in life and their own destiny.They have not been trained to treat themselves as members of a tightly_______(54)family,religious groups or nation or other_______(55).
    You can see it in the way American treat their children.Even young children are given _______(56)to make their own decision and express their own opinions.A parent will ask a one-year-old child which candy bar he would_______(57),or_______(58)he wants to sits next to mommy or daddy.The child's_______(59)will normally be recognized.
    _______(60)this practice,Americans come to consider themselves as separate human beings
    who have their own opinions.
    _______(61),many American books on how to_______(62)kids state that the parents'
    objective is to_______(63)their kid a responsible,independent individual who,by the age of 18,is ready to_______(64)the parents' house and make their own_______(65),and this advice is taken so seriously by Americans that every person beyond the age of 20 is supposed to lead an independent life.

    _________(57)
    A:prefer
    B:refuse
    C:choose
    D:like

    答案:A
    解析:
    词义辫析题,devotion的意思是“热爱”。例如:His devotion to work is highly appreciated.人们很欣赏他对工作的热爱。trust“信任”、faith“信仰”、belief“信仰”均不合适。
    根据语法和词义判断选项B正确,since意为“自从”,本句为“自人生的早期起他们就被训练……”。
    根据上下文含义和句子逻辑可以看出美国人自小就被培养成对自己的人生境遇和命运负责的独立的人。separate在这里意为“独立”,所以此题选D。
    逻辑题。在前面说到美国人接受的教育是让他们成为独立的个体,所以他们就不应把自己看作是某些组织体成员。interdependent意为“互相依赖的”,因为是用来描述家人之间的关系,所以比起dependent“依赖的”更合适。
    family , religious groups , nation都是collectivity,即“集体”的一种形式,所以选择C。
    opportunity意思是“机会”,用在“每个小孩子都被给予_____来作决定”这个句子中很合适。
    原句的意思是“美国人给孩子自己选择的机会,甚至在选择哪种糖果棒上都要问孩子更喜欢哪个”,因此prefer“更喜欢”比choose“选择”和like“喜欢”更合适。
    这里需要一个表示在两者间选择的词,所以whether表示“其中的一个” 合适。本句的意思是“他是想坐在妈妈身边还是爸爸身边”。
    前面提到的是让孩子选择更喜欢什么或更想要怎么做,这些都可以用 preference来归纳。其意思是“偏爱”,放在此句中最符合逻辑。
    根据语法,through符合要求。through作为介词意思是“通过”,这里的意思是“通过这种惯常的做法……”。其他三项在此处都不能和practice搭配。
    此段开始讲美国有许多书都指出家长们的目标是培养出一名负责任的、独立的个体,很明显是对前面几段的承接,只有表示肯定的indeed(确实)合适。
    这里考查的是词汇的使用。此处是“关于如何抚养孩子的书”,raise意为 “养育”用在,这里是正确的。feed意为“喂养”,grow意为“成长”,而bring若要表示“养育”的意思,通常需要和up搭配。例如:It must have been very difficult to manage to bring up four children.
    make有“使成为……”的意思,符合句意。本句意思是“家长们的目标是使他们的孩子成为一名负责任的、独立的个体”。
    前面提到在美国家长均志在培养出“a responsible, independent individual",所以根据逻辑孩子到了18岁就应该做好搬出父母家的准备。move out:搬出,符合句意。 withdraw:撤退,abandon:抛弃,give up:放弃,均不符合句意和使用习惯。
    固定搭配题。这里要表达的意思是“靠自己谋生”。 make a living为固定搭配,而其他各项均无此意,因此选C。

    这里考查的是词汇的使用。此处是“关于如何抚养孩子的书”,raise意为 “养育”用在,这里是正确的。feed意为“喂养”,grow意为“成长”,而bring若要表示“养育”的意思,通常需要和up搭配。例如:It must have been very difficult to manage to bring up four children.
    make有“使成为……”的意思,符合句意。本句意思是“家长们的目标是使他们的孩子成为一名负责任的、独立的个体”。
    前面提到在美国家长均志在培养出“a responsible, independent individual",所以根据逻辑孩子到了18岁就应该做好搬出父母家的准备。move out:搬出,符合句意。 withdraw:撤退,abandon:抛弃,give up:放弃,均不符合句意和使用习惯。
    固定搭配题。这里要表达的意思是“靠自己谋生”。 make a living为固定搭配,而其他各项均无此意,因此选C。

    问答题
    Practice 6  With a high degree of specialization, the frontiers of knowledge are steadily being pushed back more rapidly than ever before. But this has not been achieved without considerable cost. The scientist, who outside his own particular subject is little more than an idiot, is a modern phenomenon; as is the man of letters who is barely aware of the tremendous strides that have been made in technology. Similarly, specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk of life. Many activities which were once pursued for their own sakes are often given up in despair: they require techniques, the experts tell us, which take a life-time to master. Why learn to play the piano, when you can listen to the world’s greatest pianists in your own drawing-room?

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    随着知识的高度专业化,各学科正以前所未有的速度不断发展,但为此也付出了高昂的代价。一个科学家一旦脱离了其自身研究领域,即与白痴无异,这不能不说是现代社会的咄咄怪事。而对于科技方面的重大进展,文人也同样几乎一无所知。同样,专业化也使各行各业的普通人受到间接的影响。人们以往的那些兴趣爱好,现在却不得不绝望地放弃,因为专家告诉我们,兴趣需要技术,且穷尽一生才能掌握。当你能在自己的客厅欣赏到世界上最伟大的钢琴家演奏时,你还学习钢琴干什么呢?

    _________(52)
    A:lay
    B:make
    C:put
    D:find

    答案:D
    解析:
    push意为“推”, attract意为“吸引”, fetch意为“抵达”, bring意为“带来”。 attract与介词to搭配意为“被······吸引”。该句的意思是“在科技空前发展的时代,很多人对回首往事沉迷不已”,因此选择B项。
    lay out意为“布置,设计”,make out意为“理解,辫认出”;put out意为“熄灭,出版”;find out意为“发现”。本句是说“人们试图探查更多的历史”,因此选择D项。
    fairly意为“相当地,公平地”, greatly意为“巨大地,伟大地”, mostly意为 “大多地,主要地”, widely意为“宽广地”。本句含义是“这已经成为一种迅速增长的业余爱好,特别是在历史相当短的国家,如澳大利亚和美国”。因此选项A是正确的。
    It is one thing ..., it is quite another thing ..“一方面······,另一方面······”是固定搭配。该句意思是“花费时间去查阅一本有关家族史的书,并去探究家族的过去是一方面”,因此选择B项。
    see through意为“看穿”, move through意为“穿过”, live through意为“度过,经受住”,go through意为“经受,仔细检查”。选择C项。
    idea意为“观点”, plan意为“计划”, purpose意为“目的”, decision意为 “决定”。选择D项。
    It is one thing..., it is quite another thing… 是固定搭配,含义是“一方面······,另一方面······”。本句意思是“成功地实施这项研究工作却是另一方面”,选择A项。
    本句考的是与problem搭配的动词,本句意思是“杂乱无序地开始很容易,如果开始有一点计划,就能避免引起很多麻烦”,cause problem是固定搭配,意思是“引起问题”,因此选择B项。
    miss意为“错过”,lost是lose过去式意为“失去”,avoid意为“避免”,escape意为“逃跑”。选择C项。
    connect与with搭配意为“与······有关系”,join with意为“加入”;attach 与to搭配意为“依附,加入”;related与to搭配意为“与······有关系”。本句是说“如果你家族的故事写着你与某个名人有着一定的关系”,因此应该选择A项。
    treat意为“对待”,control意为“控制”,contact意为“联系,接触”,direct意为“指引”。该句意思是“把它当成一个有趣的可能事件对待再好不过”,因此选项A最合适。
    本句的意思是“用一个简单的系统来搜集和存储信息足以让你有个好的开头”。 with意为“随着,支持,和······在一起”;by意为“通过,依据,经由”;for意为“为了”; through意为“通过,穿过”。
    track意为“痕迹,踪迹”,path意为“小径”,road意为“道路”,way意为“途径,方式”。该句意思是“越复杂的方式可能只会扰乱你的方寸”,因此选项D符合题意。
    get started是固定搭配,意为“开始”。本句意思是“行动起来是最重要的”,因此选项A最合适。
    本句考查的是情态动词,should意为“应该”,might在疑问句中表示“可能会”,ought和to搭配意为“应该”,must意为“必须,可能”,当“可能”讲时不常在疑问句中使用。该句是说“谁知道你会发现什么呢”。因此选择B项。

    _________(52)
    A:give
    B:provide
    C:make
    D:do

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题考查的是对上下文的理解和副词辫析。本句意为“在英国超过一半将午餐带到学校吃的儿童中午吃得不恰当”。此处需要有“恰当地,正确地”意思的副词。A 选项意为appropriately“适当地;相称地”。B选项properly意为“适当地,正确地”。C选项 probably意为“大概,或许;可能”。D选项possibly意为“可能;也许;大概”。所以应该在A和 B之间选择,A选项倾向“得体”。所以B选项是正确答案。

    本题考查量词辫析。A、C、D把量具体化了,然而本题中并没有明确指出每天应该摄人多少水果,所以只是“比例”的意思,所以选项B是正确答案。
    本题考查动词搭配。本句意为“然而被检查的学生自带的饭盒中包括甜饮料、薯条和巧克力棒”。D选项investigated意为“研究;调查”。A选项examine意为“检查”,更符合句意。所以选项A是正确答案。

    What Can Gene Technology Bring

    Among all the fast growing science and technology,the research of human genes,or biological engineering
    as people call it,is drawing more and more attention now,Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
    The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure some serious diseases.Doctors at present can
    almost do nothing with them.Cancer and heart disease are the examples.______________(46)
    And to date,doctors have not found an effective way to cure them.But if the gene technology is applied,
    these two diseases can be cured completely,bringing happiness and more living days to the patients.
    _____________(47)
    Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children.Some families,with
    the English imperial family being a good example , have hereditary(遗传的)diseases._____________ (48 ) This
    is a great trouble for these families.In the past,doctors could do nothing about the hereditary diseases.But
    gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.______________(49)
    Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large
    quantities.In the past few years,scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep,so these people predict that
    human babies would soon be cloned._____________(50)Of course,the governments must take care to control
    gene technology.

    _________(47)
    A:Every year,millions of people are murdered by these two diseases.
    B:But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities,for most couples in the world can havebabies in very normal way.
    B:This means their children will for sure have the family disease.
    C:The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it,and a healthy child will be born.
    E:In addition,the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved,and it benefitst he economy as well.
    F:Clone technology is an achievement in science.

    答案:E
    解析:
    选项A中的these two disease、与空格前的cancer and heart discasc 相对应,因此A选项 符合题意。
    联系上文,不难发现应填句于的内容应该与利用基因技术治疗疾病相关。纵览各选 项,选项E“另外的好处就是能够节省患者治病所需的大量的费用,有利于经济发展”与空前 所列基因技术治疗癌症和心脏病带来的好处正好接上。
    第四段一开始就谈到基因技术能够帮助人们生出更加健康、聪明的孩子,接着开始了 hereditary disease。这一新话题,因此空格处的内客肯定与hereditary diseases 有关二通过分析剩 余选项,很容易就能友现选项D“这意味着他们的孩子一定会遗传家族疾病”与前后内存相 连贯。
    空格前的内容主要讲述过去医生对家族遗传疾病无能为力,但是基因技术能够完美地 解决这一难题,因此空格应填句子的内容应该与基因技术如何解决家族遗传疾病这一信息相 关。C项说“科学家们只需要找到错误的基因并进行改正,一个健康的孩子就可以诞生了”,因 此正确答案为C。
    本段空格前的内容是有些人对于利用基因技术克隆人类的担心,空格后作者建议政府 能够谨慎地控制基因技术。空格处所选答案应该能够起到承上启下的作用,B选项“而我认为 不会出现大量的克隆婴儿,因为世界上的多数夫妇能够以正常方式生出孩子"在结构和内容上 与上下文相连贯,表明了作者的观点,因此选B。第6部分:完形填空

    Self-reliance

    The most important thing to understand about Americans is probably their_______(51)to "individualism".They have been trained_______(52)very early in their lives to consider them-selves as_______(53)individuals who are responsible for their own situation in life and their own destiny.They have not been trained to treat themselves as members of a tightly_______(54)family,religious groups or nation or other_______(55).
    You can see it in the way American treat their children.Even young children are given _______(56)to make their own decision and express their own opinions.A parent will ask a one-year-old child which candy bar he would_______(57),or_______(58)he wants to sits next to mommy or daddy.The child's_______(59)will normally be recognized.
    _______(60)this practice,Americans come to consider themselves as separate human beings
    who have their own opinions.
    _______(61),many American books on how to_______(62)kids state that the parents'
    objective is to_______(63)their kid a responsible,independent individual who,by the age of 18,is ready to_______(64)the parents' house and make their own_______(65),and this advice is taken so seriously by Americans that every person beyond the age of 20 is supposed to lead an independent life.

    _________(52)
    A:after
    B:since
    C:at
    D:of

    答案:B
    解析:
    词义辫析题,devotion的意思是“热爱”。例如:His devotion to work is highly appreciated.人们很欣赏他对工作的热爱。trust“信任”、faith“信仰”、belief“信仰”均不合适。
    根据语法和词义判断选项B正确,since意为“自从”,本句为“自人生的早期起他们就被训练……”。
    根据上下文含义和句子逻辑可以看出美国人自小就被培养成对自己的人生境遇和命运负责的独立的人。separate在这里意为“独立”,所以此题选D。
    逻辑题。在前面说到美国人接受的教育是让他们成为独立的个体,所以他们就不应把自己看作是某些组织体成员。interdependent意为“互相依赖的”,因为是用来描述家人之间的关系,所以比起dependent“依赖的”更合适。
    family , religious groups , nation都是collectivity,即“集体”的一种形式,所以选择C。
    opportunity意思是“机会”,用在“每个小孩子都被给予_____来作决定”这个句子中很合适。
    原句的意思是“美国人给孩子自己选择的机会,甚至在选择哪种糖果棒上都要问孩子更喜欢哪个”,因此prefer“更喜欢”比choose“选择”和like“喜欢”更合适。
    这里需要一个表示在两者间选择的词,所以whether表示“其中的一个” 合适。本句的意思是“他是想坐在妈妈身边还是爸爸身边”。
    前面提到的是让孩子选择更喜欢什么或更想要怎么做,这些都可以用 preference来归纳。其意思是“偏爱”,放在此句中最符合逻辑。
    根据语法,through符合要求。through作为介词意思是“通过”,这里的意思是“通过这种惯常的做法……”。其他三项在此处都不能和practice搭配。
    此段开始讲美国有许多书都指出家长们的目标是培养出一名负责任的、独立的个体,很明显是对前面几段的承接,只有表示肯定的indeed(确实)合适。
    这里考查的是词汇的使用。此处是“关于如何抚养孩子的书”,raise意为 “养育”用在,这里是正确的。feed意为“喂养”,grow意为“成长”,而bring若要表示“养育”的意思,通常需要和up搭配。例如:It must have been very difficult to manage to bring up four children.
    make有“使成为……”的意思,符合句意。本句意思是“家长们的目标是使他们的孩子成为一名负责任的、独立的个体”。
    前面提到在美国家长均志在培养出“a responsible, independent individual",所以根据逻辑孩子到了18岁就应该做好搬出父母家的准备。move out:搬出,符合句意。 withdraw:撤退,abandon:抛弃,give up:放弃,均不符合句意和使用习惯。
    固定搭配题。这里要表达的意思是“靠自己谋生”。 make a living为固定搭配,而其他各项均无此意,因此选C。

    objective is to_______(63)their kid a responsible,independent individual who,by the age of 18,is ready to_______(64)the parents' house and make their own_______(65),and this advice is taken so seriously by Americans that every person beyond the age of 20 is supposed to lead an independent life.

    _________(61)
    A:Conversely
    B:What's more
    C:However
    D:Indeed

    答案:D
    解析:
    词义辫析题,devotion的意思是“热爱”。例如:His devotion to work is highly appreciated.人们很欣赏他对工作的热爱。trust“信任”、faith“信仰”、belief“信仰”均不合适。
    根据语法和词义判断选项B正确,since意为“自从”,本句为“自人生的早期起他们就被训练……”。
    根据上下文含义和句子逻辑可以看出美国人自小就被培养成对自己的人生境遇和命运负责的独立的人。separate在这里意为“独立”,所以此题选D。
    逻辑题。在前面说到美国人接受的教育是让他们成为独立的个体,所以他们就不应把自己看作是某些组织体成员。interdependent意为“互相依赖的”,因为是用来描述家人之间的关系,所以比起dependent“依赖的”更合适。
    family , religious groups , nation都是collectivity,即“集体”的一种形式,所以选择C。
    opportunity意思是“机会”,用在“每个小孩子都被给予_____来作决定”这个句子中很合适。
    原句的意思是“美国人给孩子自己选择的机会,甚至在选择哪种糖果棒上都要问孩子更喜欢哪个”,因此prefer“更喜欢”比choose“选择”和like“喜欢”更合适。
    这里需要一个表示在两者间选择的词,所以whether表示“其中的一个” 合适。本句的意思是“他是想坐在妈妈身边还是爸爸身边”。
    前面提到的是让孩子选择更喜欢什么或更想要怎么做,这些都可以用 preference来归纳。其意思是“偏爱”,放在此句中最符合逻辑。
    根据语法,through符合要求。through作为介词意思是“通过”,这里的意思是“通过这种惯常的做法……”。其他三项在此处都不能和practice搭配。
    此段开始讲美国有许多书都指出家长们的目标是培养出一名负责任的、独立的个体,很明显是对前面几段的承接,只有表示肯定的indeed(确实)合适。
    这里考查的是词汇的使用。此处是“关于如何抚养孩子的书”,raise意为 “养育”用在,这里是正确的。feed意为“喂养”,grow意为“成长”,而bring若要表示“养育”的意思,通常需要和up搭配。例如:It must have been very difficult to manage to bring up four children.
    make有“使成为……”的意思,符合句意。本句意思是“家长们的目标是使他们的孩子成为一名负责任的、独立的个体”。
    前面提到在美国家长均志在培养出“a responsible, independent individual",所以根据逻辑孩子到了18岁就应该做好搬出父母家的准备。move out:搬出,符合句意。 withdraw:撤退,abandon:抛弃,give up:放弃,均不符合句意和使用习惯。
    固定搭配题。这里要表达的意思是“靠自己谋生”。 make a living为固定搭配,而其他各项均无此意,因此选C。

    正确答案: A
