推理判断题。根据第三段的“The

questionnaire

asked

about

positive

aspects

of

the

parent-grandparent

coparenting

relationship,like

how

much

they

agreed

and

felt

close

as

well

as

challenging

aspects

like

how

much

they

had

in

of

the

child.”可知,问卷调查涉及共同抚养关系中积极的方面,由此推断祖父母给予的支持属于积极的方面。ⅠⅡⅢ10.Whatistheconclusionofthestudy?A.Parentsandgrandparentscangetalongwell.B.Mothers’abilityhasaneffectontheirchildren.C.Goodcoparentingrelationshipsbenefitchildren.D.Parent-grandparentcoparentingisbecomingpopular.答案

A

解析

词义猜测题。根据第五段画线词前句和所在句子可知,父母和祖父母的共同养育会影响孩子的努力控制能力,因此当孩子收到不喜欢的礼物或需要弄清楚如何分享玩具时,这种控制力可能就会发挥作用。所以代词it代指前句中的“努力控制能力”。ⅠⅡⅢ12.Whatcanbethebesttitleforthetext?A.TheTrendofCoparentingIsCatchingoninAsiaB.HowYoungParentsThinkofGrandparents’HelpC.CoparentingRelationshipsAreBecomingComfortableD.WhatHappensWhenGrandparentsHelpRaiseChildren答案

D

解析

主旨大意题。文章在首段末句“These

studies

suggest

that

children

benefit

when

parents

have

strong

relationships

with

coparenting

grandparents.”提出调查结果:在孩子的祖父母与父母关系良好的情况下,共同抚养对孩子是有益的;然后详细介绍了这项调查,最后在文章末尾再次重申这个观点,由此推断D选项“What

Happens

When

Grandparents

Help

Raise

Children”可以作为最佳标题。Ⅱ.完形填空ⅠⅡⅢGrowingup,Iwasfortunatetohavedinnerwithmyfamilyalmosteveryday.Sometimes,thefamilydinnercircle

A

解析

根据空前“parents

got

home

after

dinner

or

even...”可知,此处和上文形成转折关系,即父母会在晚饭时间之后回家,甚至是错过一整个晚上。ⅠⅡⅢ3.A.wasted B.treasuredC.limited D.calculated4.A.shows B.dishesC.recipes D.moments3.答案

B

解析

设空处上文提到“I

knew

some

friends

whose

parents

got

home

after

dinner

or

even

the

entire

evening”,因此,作者十分珍惜餐桌旁的亲子时光。

4.答案

D

time”可知,餐桌旁见证了“我”人生中无数珍贵的瞬间。ⅠⅡⅢ5.A.However B.OtherwiseC.Therefore D.Besides6.A.sleep B.dineC.study D.play5.答案

A

解析

结合空前“kitchen

table,which

witnessed

countless

valuable

in

my

life”与下文“They

have

been

left

to

with

babysitters”可知,作者小时候可以和父母共进晚餐,但是作者的孩子只能和保姆一起吃晚餐,因此形成转折关系。

6.答案

B

解析

全文围绕“一家人共进晚餐”这个话题展开,所以这里指“吃饭”。ⅠⅡⅢ7.A.suitable B.flexibleC.satisfying D.demanding8.A.maintains B.disturbsC.improves D.strikes7.答案

D

解析

设空前的内容是作者和丈夫无法陪孩子共进晚餐,空后内容是他们经常晚餐时间后才结束工作,由此推知,作者和丈夫有着要求很高的工作。8.答案

B

解析

根据上文“And

we

often

end

up

staying

at

the

office

way

past

dinnertime.When

this

happens

too

often”可知,当父母总是无法陪孩子用餐时,就会打乱家中的平衡。ⅠⅡⅢ9.A.fear B.angerC.guilt D.hunger10.A.predict B.createC.evaluate D.accept9.答案

C

解析

联系上文“They

have

been

left

to

with

babysitters

more

times

than

I

would

like

to

admit.”可知,“我”因不能与孩子共进晚餐而感到愧疚。

10.答案

B

解析

根据下文“chat...bedtime

reading”和“‘big

breakfast’routine

every

Saturday”可知,作者是在创造自己的方式与孩子度过亲子时光。ⅠⅡⅢ11.A.workout B.calmdownC.holdon D.catchup12.A.unwillingly B.casuallyC.consciously D.carelessly11.答案

D

解析

根据空前“there

are

days

when

I’m

too

busy

to

share

a

meal

with

my

family”可知,有时候“我”无法和家人一起用餐,所以“我”会努力弥补失去的亲子时光。12.答案

C

解析

根据空前“I

would

make

efforts

to

and

chat

later”可知,“我”会有意识地收起手机,避免外界的干扰。

ⅠⅡⅢ13.A.louder B.shorterC.simpler D.sweeter14.A.assists B.guidesC.allows D.orders13.答案

D

解析

根据上文“when

I’m

too

busy

to

share

a

meal

with

my

family”可知,这让作者认为与孩子的睡前阅读时光更加甜蜜。14.答案

A

解析

根据空前内容“My

husband

serves

as

the

head

chef”可知,作者的丈夫作为主厨,儿子辅助父亲完成早餐。ⅠⅡⅢ15.A.office B.kitchenC.house D.park答案

C

解析

根据空前“I

am

aware

that

my

sons

are

growing

up

quickly”和下文“I

am

happy

to

have

so

many

wonderful

things

on
