单选题 Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child's hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.

单选题 A. if B. until C. that D. unless
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 此句需根据句意及语法结构来判断。这是一个由and连接的并列句,空格所在的部分是第二个分句,分句中有一个从句。从句意来看,首先可排除选项B和C。如果选A,句意为如果饭菜烧得很差,孩子们很少会不喜欢吃,前后意思矛盾。所以,D项unless“除非”符合题意,是正确答案。
单选题 A. adequately B. attractively C. urgently D. eagerly
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 此句讲的是这样端上来的一份饭菜会增进孩子的食欲。根据四个选项的意思,C项urgently“急迫地”与D项eagerly“急切地”显然不符合句子的意思,比较A项adequately“足够地”与B项attractively“吸引人地”可以看出,能增进孩子食欲的不是饭菜的数量,而是饭菜端上来的方式与状态,所以应选B。
单选题 A. remark B. tell C. discuss D. argue
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] discuss意为“讨论,谈论”,在此符合句意,是答案。A项remark意为“评论,评说”,后边需要从句或on/upon引出的介词短语,不能直接用名词。B项tell意为“告诉”时,需用tell sb. sth. 结构。D项argue意为“争辩,争论”,在此不符合句意。
单选题 A. willing B. possible C. obliged D. likely
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 这里说的是如果孩子听到父母谈论他们对食物的喜好可能会引起的结果。possible和likely都表示“可能”的意思,但possible通常不以人作主语,可以说sb. is likely to do sth. 或It's possible for sb. to do sth. ,所以此处应选D项likely。A项willing“愿意的”和C项obliged“被迫的”,均不符合句意。
单选题 A. with B. as C. over D. for
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] take it/something for granted是一个固定搭配,意为“认为……是理所、与然的”。for不能用其他介词代替。
单选题 A. supposed B. proved C. considered D. related
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] C项considered“经过深思熟虑的”,D项related“与……有关”明显不符合句意,首先排除。A项supposed意为“假定的;想象中的”,B项proved意为“证明了的”。从上下文来看,作者没有提及孩子们对食物的喜欢或不喜欢是得到证明了的,而是告诫父母不要询问孩子喜欢什么.不喜欢什么,只要理所当然地认为他什么都喜欢,他就什么都喜欢,可见这里的不喜欢只是一种假设,并非已得到证明,所以选A。
单选题 A. ask B. come C. return D. take
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 这里需要注意后边的back,要选一个能与它搭配的动词。四个选项中.A项ask和C项return不能与back搭配,首先排除。B项come back意为“回来”,是不及物动词;D项take back意为“带来;取来”,是及物动词,常用于take sb. /sth. back,根据此句结构,应选come。
单选题 A. on B. over C. by D. during
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 这里指吃饭时不要和孩子说太多话,四个选项中,on和by不能表示“在……期间”;over表示“在……时”,后边可用名词,不用over...time; during表示“在……期间”,既可接名词,也可以说during...time,所以应选D。
单选题 A. so B. until C. lest D. although
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 根据上下文来分析,孩子们匆匆吃饭为的是能赶快回去玩。空格后面是一个表示目的的状语从句。四个选项中,只有s0可以引导目的状语从句,相当于so that,意为“为了;以便”,因而是答案。
单选题 A. some B. any C. such D. no
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 根据全文来看,作者谈论的是如何增进孩子的食欲,让孩子不偏食,养成良好的饮食习惯,那么此句中的哄骗或强迫孩子进食是不应该出现的事情,所以应选D项no,意为“在任何情况下都不……”
