30、as J. ignite K. impart L. inquiring M. passion N. provoking O. unfortunately（分数：25.00）解析：L解析 第一句提到孩子是天生的科学家，本句说明他们有一个什么样的头脑。故此处应填入修饰minds“头脑”的词，可以是名词、分词或形容词。下文并列的分句说孩子敢于承认自己对有些东西的无知，故空格处的语义应与 don“t know something 呼应。inquiring 除了作动词表示“询问”，也可作形容词表示“好问的，爱打听的”。符合语义逻辑。exploration“探索”虽然语义相关，但不作定语修饰minds。而
31、 acquiring 是动词“获得”的现在分词或动名词形式，一般不用作形容词修饰名词。解析：O解析 空格在句子主语 most of them 和谓语动词 lose 之间，前后有逗号分隔，故应填入副词。上一句说，孩子敢于承认自己对有些东西的无知，结合开头所说的孩子是天生的科学家，可知 this 应指代“好的”特质。失去是应该感到遗憾或惋惜的。因此填入 unfortunately“不幸的是”。解析：C解析 空格前是表使役意义的谓语动词 make，之后是 that 引导的定语从句，故应填入名词。由that often tum out to be wrong“经常证明是错的”，可知该名词在意义上应该与
32、“推断，假设”相关，assumptions“假定，假设”符合逻辑。解析：M解析 由空格前的定冠词 the 可知此处应填入名词，作 killing 的宾语。上一句提到问题不在于让孩子对科学产生兴趣(getting kids interested in)，本句说要避免抹杀孩子天生具有的学习故该名词在语义上应与“兴趣”相关，由此选择 passion“热情，酷爱”。解析：B解析 空格前是 approach to“(做某事的)方法”，to 是介词，故此处应填入修饰 knowledge 的词，或与之搭配的动名词。本句说，孩子天生有一种知识的模糊方法，acquiring“获得；学到”与knowledge 搭
33、配，指“求知”，呼应下一句的 learning about.。解析：K解析 空格前为引导定语从句的关系代词 who，空格后为名词性从句 what they know，故此处应填入定语从句的谓语动词，时态与上下文一致，为一般现在时。定语从句修饰的是 specialist teachers“专业老师”，他们向学生“传授”知识，由此可选择 impart“告知；赋予”。解析：D解析 空格在介词 for 之后，故应填入名词或动名词。上文提到由于教育的实用性(the practicalities of education)，我们不得不把课程分成专门的科目来教。因此可知本句所说将科目分为科学、数学、英语等，
34、是为方便教学起见。故 convenience“方便”符合语义。解析：F解析 空格前是句子主语 many children，空格后是反身代词 themselves，故此处应填入谓语动词，时态与上文并列分句一样，为一般现在时，因此选择范围可缩小至词库中的动词原形。根据后文的not for them 选择 exclude“排斥”，与空格后的 from 搭配使用，表示现在很多孩子会排斥科学教育。解析：E解析 空格前是动词 specialise“专门化”，可用作及物或不及物动词，故此处可能填入名词，作宾语；也可能填入副词。上一段提及区分科目(Dividing subjects)，本句与之对应，应该是说当
35、然我们需要专业化，故句意是完整的，填入副词更合理。eventually“最终”符合语义逻辑。解析：H解析 此处应填入与 knowledge 并列的名词，形式上应该也是不可数名词。根据后文的现在分词结构 covering anything.可判断 exploration“探索”正确，表示我们的求知和探索领域很广。“That which does not kill us makes us stronger. “But parents can“t handle it when teenagers put this 11 into practice. And now, technology has b

Locked indoors, unable to get on their bicycles and hang out with their friends, teens have turned to social media and their mobile phones to socialize with their peers. What they do online often 12 what they
37、might otherwise do if their mobility weren“t so heavily 13 in the age of helicopter parenting. Social media and smart-phone apps have become so popular in recent years be-cause teens need a place to call their own. They want the freedom to 14 their identity and the world around them.

41、sticking N. undermines O. violent（分数：25.00）解析：J解析 根据空格前的指示代词 this 可知，此处应填入名词的单数形式。文章第 1 句的内容用引号引出，是尼采的一句名言，空格前的 this 就是指代这句名言，再结合空格后的 into practice 可知此处有“把名言转化为实践”之义。名词词库中，philosophy“人生哲学”属于名言的语义范畴。解析：I解析 此空处于两个名词性从句 What they do online 和 what they might otherwise do 之间，同时又被频率副词 often 修饰，可见应填入句子的谓语动
42、词。主语从句 what they do online 可看作是单数形式，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数。从后面的条件状语从句 if their mobility.可知青少年在网上的言行如果不是受到父母的管教，现实中也会这么做。动词词库中，mirrors 最符合语义，表示他们网上的行为“反映”了现实中不受管教下的行为。解析：B解析 根据空格前的 weren“t so heavily 可知，此空需填入形容词或分词形式。句子后面出现了 helicopter parenting(直升机式的教养方式)，即像直升机一样盘旋着监控孩子的教养形式，据此可推断此处有“受限”之义，故 constrained 符合题意
43、。解析：D解析 根据空格前的不定式 to 可知，此空应填入动词原形，后接两个并列宾语 their identity和 the world around them。词库中，可视为动词原形的词有 assess“估价；评价”、explore“勘探；仔细查阅；探索”和 influence“影响”，但能同时和 their identity 及 the world around them 构成搭配且语义通顺的，只有 explore 一词，表示“探索自我和周遭世界”。解析：L解析 根据空格前的介词 of 可知，此空需填入动词的现在分词形式，与后面的介词 out 搭配。动词词库中，只有 sneaking 和
44、sticking 能与 out 搭配。sneak out 表示“偷偷溜走”，stick out 表示“坚持，突出”。根据 Instead of 可知，此处语义应与后面的 jump online 形成对比，sneaking 表示“偷偷溜出家门”，更符合语义。解析：K解析 此空需填入修饰 dangers 的词。从下文的 from.to.“从陌生人，到残忍的同龄人”可推断，父母所想到的应是“潜在的”危险。potential“潜在的”符合文意。解析：O解析 此空需填入修饰空格后 strangers 的词。根据后面的 cruel peers 可知，此处应填入与cruel 一样表示贬义的形容词。viole
45、nt“暴力的”符合语义色彩。解析：F解析 空格前的介词 of 和空格后的 with others 提示此空可能填入动词的现在分词形式，且能表达与他人“交往”“互动”带来的危险的意思。词库中，只有 interacting 和 sticking 能与 with 搭配，interact with 表示“互动”，stick with 表示“支持；紧跟；坚持做”。文中此处是指青少年与他人“互动”，故填入 interacting。解析：A解析 此处应填入动词原形，与 manage 和 get 构成并列关系。动词库中可以与空格后的 risks搭配的是 assess 一词，表示“评估风险”。解析：N解析 此处
46、应填入谓语动词。根据主语 it 可知，该谓语动词应为第三人称单数。前面说到“保护孩子感觉像是在做一件正确的事情”。而空格前的 but 表明此处语义与上一分句相对，所以这里应填入表示消极含义的词。undermines 表示“暗中破坏”。符合语境。Millions of Americans are entering their 60s and are more concerned than ever about retirement. They know they need to save, but how much? And what exactly are they saving forto
47、spend more time 21 the grandkids, go traveling, or start another career? It turns out that husbands and wives may have 22 different ideas about the subject. The deepest divide is in the way spouses envisage their lifestyle in their later years. Fidelity In-vestments Inc. found 41 percent of the 500
48、couples it surveyed 23 on whether both or at least one spouse will work in retirement. Wives are generally right regarding their husbands“ retirement age, but men 24 the age their wives will be when they stop working.
