10、文章首段可以看出，文章通篇都在討論什么樣的人會(huì)成為天才，因此，這道題考察考生對全文主題的把握，需要通讀全文后選擇答案。第一段說，如何成為天才一直是人們津津樂道的話題。第二段認(rèn)為除了天生聰慧，智商還應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)玫胶筇斓腻憻?。第三段認(rèn)為父母應(yīng)當(dāng)注意自己的語言，跟孩子多說鼓勵(lì)的話。根據(jù)全文，選項(xiàng)D包含了成為天才的兩方面因素：天生擁有聰明的大腦與后天的勤奮，應(yīng)選D。 4、It is better for parents _.

15、only difference is that today employment of children is confined to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories.Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys.

The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending schools. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do

A、indifferentB、disapproving C、supportive D、admiring參考答案:B解析:【答案】B【解析】判斷題，問作者對童工這一問題的態(tài)度

27、。童工問題是這篇文章的主題，這篇文章的結(jié)構(gòu)是“提出問題-分析問題-解決問題”，由此可以看出，作者對這一問題持反對態(tài)度，并希望通過一些措施解決該問題。因此選B，disapproving，是在approving“贊同的”前加上否定前綴-dis，表示與approving相反的意思，即“不贊同的，反對的”。A，“漠不關(guān)心的”，C，“支持的”，D，“推崇的”，均不符合文意。 二、詞匯與語法11、Their idea is _ to us all and you don't need to tell us more about it.
