Answer 1

【答案】

【小題1】G

【小題2】F

【小題3】D

【小題4】B

【小題5】C

【解析】

【小題1】G考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)第一段中的Nowadays parents and their children are spending less and less time communicating with each other，可知，現(xiàn)在父母和孩子們在一起交流的時間越來越少。結果會怎么樣呢？因為在一起的時間少，所以雙方交流就少，孩子從父母那兒得到的指導和關愛就少了，不如以前多了。“As a result, many children are getting less love than their parents once got.”符合語境。選擇Ｇ項。

【小題2】F考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)第二段的標題“Eat together & listen to each other”和段中的“Sharing a meal together allows parents and their children the opportunity to talk about each other’s lives.”可知，父母和孩子在一起吃飯，讓他們有機會談談彼此的生活，這也讓父母有時間聽聽孩子的心里話，并給孩子一些指導意見。“This is also a time for parents to listen and give advice to their children.”符合語境。選擇Ｆ項。

【小題3】D考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)第三段中的“It’s important for parents to read to their children. The latest research shows that reading to your children develops an interest in knowledge and contributes to language development. It also increases their concentration on things and helps them become more curious.”可知，父母給孩子讀書是很重要的，這有助于培養(yǎng)孩子對知識的興趣和孩子的語言能力的發(fā)展，同時也能增加孩子對事物的注意力和好奇心。既然給孩子讀書這么有意義，那么就應該多找些孩子喜歡讀的書。“Look for books that your children would enjoy reading.”符合語境。選擇Ｄ項。

【小題4】B考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)第四段中的“Choose a fun activity that your children are interested in. Activities like cooking, fishing or biking can be their great hobbies.”可知，父母要選擇孩子感興趣的趣味活動。對孩子來說，烹飪、釣魚和騎車等活動就是不錯的愛好。孩子有了這些愛好，全家人在一起的時間就會增多，這些活動愛好為活躍全家人在一起時的氣氛打開了一道門。“They can open the door to exciting family time.”符合語境。選擇Ｂ項。

【小題5】C考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)第五段的標題“Plan a family outing”和段中的“Jump into the family car and go for a drive.”可知，可以安排全家人一起外出，鉆進汽車，駕車出游。為什么要這樣做呢？因為要增進家人之間的情感，偶爾從家里出來一下透透氣也是很重要的。“Sometimes getting out of the house is important.”符合語境。選擇Ｃ項。
