Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中的兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
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 and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children's skills differ. Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. 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 step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots 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 repair them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. And that is more important.
A. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
B. The more cost in education, the better the result will be.
C. Cooking requires patience and time.
D. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children are badly off for self-respect and self-confidence.
E. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.
F. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind.
G. Thus, the more the children use the computer, the better the result will be.

Answer 1

【答案】E；A；D；C；F
【解析】本文是一篇說明文，講述了中國(guó)大多數(shù)家長(zhǎng)在教育子女方面的偏差，作者認(rèn)為應(yīng)該讓孩子多學(xué)習(xí)一些對(duì)他們自身成長(zhǎng)有用的技能。
（1）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.”所以父母花費(fèi)不合情理的錢在教育上。關(guān)鍵詞so表明前后是一種因果關(guān)系，可知上句在說：中國(guó)人一直覺得在孩子教育方面投入的越多,獲益也就越多。故選E。
（2）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.”所以父母花費(fèi)不合情理的錢在教育上。因?yàn)橹袊?guó)人都有一種攀比的心理，可知此處的意思是：A. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. “甚至家境貧窮的夫婦也會(huì)給孩子買一臺(tái)電腦�！惫蔬xA。
（3）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others.” 父母能夠看到他們孩子的特長(zhǎng)是不同的.可能有些方面有特長(zhǎng),然而另一方面卻可能不強(qiáng)。再根據(jù)下句：?jiǎn)栴}是父母只是教育他們的孩子怎樣做多項(xiàng)選擇，怎樣學(xué)習(xí)好，而沒有教給孩子們所需要的自信、快樂和聰明的最重要的技能�？芍�此處要表達(dá)的意思是：然而,大多數(shù)的父母并沒有意識(shí)到現(xiàn)在的小孩缺乏自尊心和自信心。故選D。
（4）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.”教一個(gè)孩子做飯會(huì)提高他日后在生活中所需要的技能。再根據(jù)空后“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 step by step.”它是一個(gè)快樂又艱難的經(jīng)歷。一個(gè)好的廚師總是想辦法去提高他們的烹飪技術(shù)。根據(jù)上下文可知C. Cooking requires patience and time. “做飯要求有耐心和時(shí)間。”故選C。
（5）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“He will spend hours looking at them, trying to repair them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. ”他會(huì)花掉很多時(shí)間研究它們,嘗試著修理他們,當(dāng)小孩長(zhǎng)大后他可能會(huì)成為一名工程師。再根據(jù)空后“And that is more important.”那是更重要的�？芍�此處要表達(dá)的意思應(yīng)該是：這些實(shí)踐活動(dòng)不僅僅教小孩讀書,而且教會(huì)他們思考,學(xué)會(huì)用大腦。故選F。
