Question

in bringing up children,every parent

阅读理解 　　In bringing up children every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition(获得) of each new skill- the first spoken words the first independent steps or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby may be forced to use a toilet too early a young child may be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand though if a child is left alone too much or without any learning opportunities he loses his natural enthusiasm (eagerness) for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. 　　Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality(准时)for meals. In general the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the children's happiness. 　　As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child consistency(一惯性) is very important teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality(道德). Also parents should realize that “example is better than precept(规则)”. If they are not sincere and don't practise what they preach(teach) their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure(不稳定) when they grow old enough to think for themselves and realize they have been to some extent fooled. 　　A student's awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment. 1．Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills ________. [　　] A．should be avoided B．is universal among parents C．sets-up dangerous states of worry in the children D．will make him lose interest in learning new things 2．In the process of children's learning new skills parents ________. [　　] A．should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read B．should not expect too much of them C．should achieve a balance between pushing them too much and leaving them on their own D．should create as many learning opportunities as possible 3．The word “precept” probably means ________. [　　] A．idea B．punishment C．behavior D．instruction 4．In moral matters parents should ________. [　　] A．observe the rules themselves B．be aware of the marked difference between adults and children C．forbid things which have no foundation in morality D．consistently ensure the safety of their children

Answer 1

答案：B;C;D;A 解析： 　　1．B　　文章谈到对孩子的早期教育，说每个父母都急切地看着自己孩子学会每一个技能，如学说话，学读书等，说人为父母都常想让孩子学习超越本身自然发展的东西(beyond his natural learning rule)，这一点是危险的，会让孩子有失败感，太早或太迟都不行。从题目及文章内容判断选B，本题只涉及父母的心态。 　　2．C　　作者在第一段提到父母对孩子过早训练及不管孩子，让他过迟进行训练的两个极端，从中可看出作者的态度，那就是这两者都不可取，应该在这二者中构成一种平衡，不太早也不要太迟。 　　3．D　　从画线部分上下文看，下文说到父母的教诲(preach，teach)与自身的榜样(practise)，practise即上文的example，precept就是teach与preach。从词形上注意区别perception知觉，理解；concept概念。 　　4．A　　第三、四段提到父母的言传身教，说自身的行为要与对孩的要求一致，不然孩子会困惑，会使得成人的言行不一，从而感到失望，由此可见这里是对父母自身提出的要求。
