Answer 1

【答案】

 G

 F

 D

 A

 C

【解析】

試題分析：文章第一段提出了要解決的問題即“家長如何教會孩子理財”然后從三方面提供解決問題的方法分別為解釋錢的功能、教會理性花錢和作出明智選擇。

 G 根據(jù)后文連接詞So可以判斷此處上下文應(yīng)該是因果關(guān)系。此外空格后面一句話中的“...when your child shows an interest in buying things...”是對空格信息的復(fù)現(xiàn)。

 F 此處內(nèi)容應(yīng)該與上一句“If he wants to have a toy...”有關(guān)即都牽涉“買玩具”這件事。此外選項F意思為“當(dāng)你們離開玩具店時告訴孩子錢是怎么買到東西的”這與本段的小標(biāo)題The basic function of money是非常吻合的因此該選項放在此位置是再合適不過了。

 D 根據(jù)后文的兩個假設(shè)即兩個if從句來看該空格應(yīng)該是后文意義的概括即告訴孩2子為什么能或者不能買某些東西然后針對空格內(nèi)容進(jìn)行了兩種情況的介紹。

 A 此題要求確立本段的小標(biāo)題。這一段主要講的是家長如何幫助孩子在商店作出明智的決定。此外根據(jù)各個選項的句式特征不難看出正確答案應(yīng)該在A、B兩項中根據(jù)兩個選項中的關(guān)鍵詞decision和value再結(jié)合段意也不難得出正確答案。.

 C該選項中的Permit與后句中的allow構(gòu)成同義關(guān)系the child與he構(gòu)成指代關(guān)系 choose與后句中的chooses是詞語復(fù)現(xiàn)them與前句中的different brands構(gòu)成指代關(guān)系。

考點：考查信息匹配

點評：該文章屬于典型的“問題—解答”模式的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)類型從文章布局方面看為“總—分”結(jié)構(gòu)�？忌�首先要著眼于文章全局把握文章脈絡(luò)。根據(jù)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)布局可以看出主題句就是文章首段的第一句話。抓住該主題句順著文章線索對選項逐一推敲。在解題過程中要利用句與句、段與段之間的邏輯關(guān)系對照每個選項這樣就可以判斷出哪個為最佳答案。
