答案与题解:
1. A 此处阐明作者的观点,只有view 能代表对某方面的见解或观点,其他选项只是单 纯的想想、法或是决定, 不合题意。
2. C a number of 是固定搭配,修饰可数名词,表示数量上很多。
3. A cant afford to do sth.为惯用语,表示负担不起。
4. C 此题四个选项在语法上都能与前面的 out of 搭配,out of reason 意为无理的,不合理的 ,out of duty 与 out of task 意思是出于责任,任务的,out of necessity 有必要,出于....的必要,综合分析只有C选项填入此空较为合理。
5. B 固定搭配 be cut out for/be cut out to do sth. 意为适合于,天生就是做某事的料 ,make out理解,辨认出;亲热 ,bring out使显出;出版;生产,只有 B 选项符合文意。
6. D it comes to sth. 为惯用说法,在这里意思是涉及,整句说的是当涉及儿童托管时,有许多方式可供选择,refer to 意为指而言。
7. C across the street 意为街对面,其他选项的词搭配不当,故选 C。 8. C 此处讨论在现实状况下,很多父母根本没有选择的余地。在现实状况下就是 in reality ,此题容易误选 B ,in fact 意为事实上,实际上,常常表示经过推论得出的结果,放在此处其实也不算错,但是完形填空不是让我们选出正确的答案,而是选出最合适的选项,故此题选 C。
9. B no matter +疑问词,表示无论,此句意为不管你选的托管方式有多好,一些孩子被留下时,都会激烈抗议。
10. A perfectly normal 为惯用说法,意思是完全正常的,其他选项虽说在语法上与逻辑上也不错,但 perfectly 更好些。
11. C family members家庭成员,其他选项均不适合,C 为正确答案。
12. D 首先从逻辑上排除 A 和 B 选项,一定是留给孩子足够多的时间。C 选项 lots 后面若能加上介词 of 则构成修饰可数名字的短语,lots of许多的,原文中被修饰词 time 是不可数名词,只有 D 选项 plenty of 可以修饰不可数名词,表示大量的。
13. B 四个选项中除了 fond 与 of 搭配,意为喜欢之外,其他的选项都可与 to 搭配,be used to sth./doing习惯于某事,be attached to依附于,依恋于 ,be keen to do sth. 急切, 渴望,此处孩子要依恋于母亲,因此 B 选项正确。
14. D 此处意为为你的孩子做到最好,一般用 do one s best for ,而不用 make one s best ,若想用 give,则是 give one s best to,因此只有 D 选项符合要求。
15. A 上半句的 quantity 已经对此题的答案做出了暗示,一定是质量 quality 与数量 quantity 相对。
