答案:D;C;D;B;C;A;D;D;B;A;C;D;D;A;C;C;D;A;B;D
解析:

1、此处raising是“养育”之意,现在分词作定语修饰parents。

2、根据题意,此处是要说明家庭规模的大小。

3、attend school是“上学”的意思。

4、依据其前面比较过去和现在的求学时间,这里也对依赖家庭的时间进行比较,所以用比较级。

5、“穿着很好或差”英语表达方式应是be well/ poorly dressed。根据文章内容来看以及和从前相比应是“穿着比以前好”,所以答案为C。

6、此题主要是动介搭配关系:spend…on搭配是正确的;pay后不接on而接for。cost和take在此处不适合此句型。

7、take the responsibility for是“负起责任”的意思。

8、根据上下文,此句的意思应该是“现在家庭成员的关系没有像过去那么亲近”。

9、依据上下文,此处应该是“越来越多的母亲走出家门去工作”。

10、此处表示“当……时候”,因此C、D两项可以排除。由于状语从句中的divorced在此处是不及物动词,表示动作,是短暂性动词,所以不可用while只能用when。

11、根据上下文,此处是说“许多美国孩子是与单亲一起生活”。

12、result in是动词短语,表示“引起,导致”的意思;result from是表示“由……所引起”的意思。

13、依据语法结构,此处缺少谓语动词,因此A、B两项可排除。根据上下文,此处是指“孩子由于父母离异而责备自己”,所以D项是正确答案。

14、each other是指“双方相互离开”。

15、care for是“照看,照顾”之意。A项take care后缺of。Care of结构不正确。Mind此处不合题意。

16、supporting接在while后作时间状语,等于一个时间状语从句的功用。

17、marry不能与with搭配,所以A、C两项可以排除。Marry可用作及物动词,后面无须跟随介词。

18、develop…relationship是表示“发展……的关系”,符合题意。

19、rising此处表示增长;A项raise是及物动词,在此处使用不合适。

20、根据句意以及语法结构,只能选D。表示多么重要。

Entrants(参加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣诞老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(奖励) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鲸鱼)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(无知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(权威). To earn my respect, you have to be smart or  55   . I’ll never respect you just because you happen to be in charge or have a degree.
