Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia.【1】The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. 【2】

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap and they should teach them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

【3】Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.【4】It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well – cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self - confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind.【5】

A. But is it correct?

B. And that is more important.

C. Cooking demands patience and time.

D. They also require their children to take a lot of tests.

E. They also want their children to take extra - course activities.

F. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

G. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】F

【3】G

【4】C

【5】B

【解析】

【1】E 根據(jù)橫線前句Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia可知中國父母在教育子女父母很慷慨，送孩子出國學(xué)習(xí)。那么本句仍然是在講述中國父母對孩子的教育方面的要求，E項They also want their children to take extra - course activities.要孩子參加課程之外的活動。與上下文之相一致。

【2】F 橫線前句So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education中國父母親在兒童的教育方面花錢很不理智。本句是對這一現(xiàn)象的舉例說明，故F項Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.正好是這一情況的最好說明。

【3】G 根據(jù)橫線后一句Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life可知教孩子做飯會提高孩子很多未來可以使用到的技能。再結(jié)合前段中the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap可知父母親給孩子最好的早期教育是很便宜的。故G項Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.，父母親可以讓孩子學(xué)會做飯、縫紉和其他的家務(wù)勞動來提高他們的信心。故G項正確。

【4】C 本段主要敘述的是學(xué)會做飯對孩子的積極影響，選項中C項Cooking demands patience and time.做飯需要耐心和時間，這正可以鍛煉孩子的耐心。C項含義與上下文是一致的。

【5】B 根據(jù)橫線前面一句These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind.可知這些活動不僅教會學(xué)生閱讀，更重要的是思考和使用他們的思維。而思考恰恰是最重要的事情。故B正確。
