Question

6．Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children．Not caring about the money，parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England，the United States or Australia．（71）E The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is，the better it is．So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education．（72）F
However，what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap and they should teach them the most important skills they need to be confident，happy and clever．（73）G Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life．（74）C It is an enjoyable but difficult experience．A good cook always tries to improve his cooking，so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully．His result，a well-cooked dinner，will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence．
Some old machines，such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest．He will spend hours looking at them，trying to fix them； your child might become an engineer when he grows up．These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book，but rather to think，to use his mind．（75）B 

    A．But is it correct？
    B．And that is more important．
    C．Cooking demands patience and time．
    D．They also require their children to take a lot of tests．
    E．They also want their children to take extra-course activities．
    F．Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter．
    G．Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking，sewing and doing other housework．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要針對(duì)中國(guó)父母在教育孩子方面的過(guò)分投入這一話(huà)題進(jìn)行的談?wù)摚�指出這種無(wú)原則的愛(ài)有時(shí)是不利于孩子的成長(zhǎng)的，并指出最好的教育方式就是教會(huì)孩子基本的生存技能，通過(guò)學(xué)做飯這一事件來(lái)培養(yǎng)孩子的自信及基本技能等．

解答 EFGCB
71．E．考查對(duì)上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力．前面提到中國(guó)的方面在孩子教育上是很慷慨的，經(jīng)常送孩子去最好的學(xué)校，甚至是出國(guó)深造，他們還會(huì)讓孩子參加其他的課程，這是和上面的內(nèi)容一脈相承的；故選E．
72．F．考查對(duì)上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力．由前面一句So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education．可知，許多家庭會(huì)過(guò)度的將錢(qián)花費(fèi)孩子的教育上，由此可知，即使貧窮的夫婦也會(huì)給自己的孩子買(mǎi)電腦，故選F．
73．G．考查對(duì)上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力．本句應(yīng)該是承接上句中的they should teach them the most important skills they need to be confident，happy and clever．也就是說(shuō)父母應(yīng)該交給孩子最基本的生活自理的能力，所以Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking，sewing and doing other housework．具有承上啟下的作用；故選G．
74．C．考查對(duì)上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力．前面一句Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life說(shuō)教孩子烹飪會(huì)提高他們以后生活中的許多技能，為什么會(huì)這么說(shuō)，接下來(lái)就是解釋原因，即學(xué)烹飪的好處在哪里，即Cooking demands patience and time．故選C．
75．B．考查對(duì)上下文的語(yǔ)境理解能力．文章最后提到了這些活動(dòng)的意義，也就是最重要的核心所在；故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 這類(lèi)題型要求學(xué)生根據(jù)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)、邏輯、上下文的內(nèi)容選出相應(yīng)的五句話(huà)填入空白處將文章補(bǔ)充完整．主要目的在于"考查考生對(duì)文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握．"做題時(shí)需要明白整篇文章的主旨，文章整體的思路和每一段的用意以及作者寫(xiě)作的意圖．花些時(shí)間理清段落之間和句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系也有助于幫助學(xué)生把握文章的整體結(jié)構(gòu)和思路．
