Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】C

【4】F

【5】G

【解析】

【1】根據(jù)前一句The jobs of the future have not yet been invented（未來的工作還沒有發(fā)明出來），以及后一句By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.（不管未來會是個什么樣子，通過幫助他們發(fā)展經(jīng)典的技巧，而這些技巧將來會派上用場），故D項“因此我們該如何幫助我們的孩子為還不存在的工作做準備呢？”可以承接上下文。

【2】根據(jù)下一行“What ingredients(配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?”可知，本段講述的是做飯，這也是一項傳統(tǒng)技能。我們要鼓勵孩子和我們一起做飯，通過孩子的好奇心來培養(yǎng)這種傳統(tǒng)的技能。

【3】根據(jù)前面一句True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new（真正的創(chuàng)造能力是從現(xiàn)存的東西里創(chuàng)造出新的東西的能力），所以我們給孩子機會讓他們用新的方法來考慮這些現(xiàn)有的事物，以此來培養(yǎng)他們的創(chuàng)造能力。只有C項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【4】根據(jù)空格前一句Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions.（能夠閱人幫助孩子不誤判形勢和跳到錯誤的結(jié)論。），和空格后面三句，可以推斷選F項“我們可以在現(xiàn)實生活中做這個或者通過故事詢問人物性格”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】根據(jù)music、acting、drawing、building、photography可知，這些都是我們表達自己思想的有效方法，能夠讓孩子用這些方法表達思想也是一種很重要的技巧。我們要培養(yǎng)孩子這方面的能力。故G項符合上下文語境。
