本文是一篇議論文，論述了父母給孩子最好的教育其實不需要花費(fèi)太多金錢，反而應(yīng)該要重視教會孩子們生存所需的技能。

【1】句意：當(dāng)涉及到教育孩子，中國人通常都非常的大方。

babysitting照顧嬰孩；educating教育；leading帶領(lǐng)。根據(jù)后文“But in fact, the best early education that parents can give their children is…”，可知本文是在講父母對孩子的教育，故選B。

【2】句意：他們認(rèn)為他們的孩子用這樣的方式可以取得進(jìn)步，并不知道他們的孩子最終也不會有成績。

make progress取得進(jìn)步；make friends交朋友；have fun玩得開心。根據(jù)前文“They also make their children take after-school classes”說送孩子去輔導(dǎo)班，可知此處是表示取得進(jìn)步，故選A。

【3】句意：中國人總是相信教育越貴效果就越好。

better更好；higher更高；faster更快。根據(jù)前文說父母愿意花錢送孩子去上各種輔導(dǎo)班，可知此處表示他們認(rèn)為“越貴越好”，故選A。

【4】句意：在鄉(xiāng)下甚至是貧窮的家長也會愿意給他們的孩子買電腦，只要他們要求。

as well as和……一樣好；as long as只要；as much as和……一樣多。根據(jù)前后兩句的邏輯，可知此處表條件，應(yīng)該是as long as引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句，故選B。

【5】句意：但事實上，父母可以給孩子的最好的早教通常非常便宜。

cheap便宜的；expensive昂貴的；professional專業(yè)的。根據(jù)后文“It almost cost nothing”說幾乎不花費(fèi)什么，可知此處是便宜，故選A。

【6】句意：父母可以通過教孩子一些實用的技巧，例如烹飪、洗衣以及做其他的家務(wù)來實現(xiàn)這個。

pleasant令人愉悅的；convenient方便的；practical實際的，實用的。根據(jù)后文列舉的“cooking, washing and doing other chores”，都是比較實用的、生活化的技能，故選C。

【7】句意：這是一個有趣的但是非常困難的經(jīng)歷。

and并且；but 但是；or或者。根據(jù)其前enjoyable和其后difficult構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折，可知此處用but，故選B。

【8】句意：一個好的廚師總是會努力提升自己的烹飪技巧，所以他會學(xué)習(xí)努力工作，然后成功地完成工作。

successfully成功地；quickly快速地；accidentally意外地。根據(jù)后文“a great dinner”，可知是成功做好了晚飯，故選A。

【9】句意：他的成果——一頓豐盛的晚餐會給他許多的成就感，并且會給他許多的自信。

attention注意力；satisfaction成就感，滿意；challenge挑戰(zhàn)。根據(jù)后文“a lot of self-confidence”說給他自信，可推知此處表示“給他成就感”，故選B。

【10】句意：也許你的孩子長大后會成為一名工程師，因為這些活動可以教一個孩子如何思考。

when當(dāng)……時；if如果；although雖然。根據(jù)后文“he grows up”，可知此處是時間狀語從句，應(yīng)該用when引導(dǎo)，故選A。
