Answer 1

答案：D;A;C;A;B;D;C;A;A;A
解析：

剖析：1．该句为过去进行时，助动词were和现在分词构成谓语，只有C、D两个选项与该句的时态形式相符．talk to sb表示“对某人说话”，“跟某人交谈”的意思；talk about sb or sth意为“谈论某人或某事”．全文主要谈论教育孩子的方法． 　　2．此处的人称代词，应与主语的人称和数相一致．句子主语parents为第三人称复数． 　　3．由空白后的“a big，strong tree and a thin，young one”可作出正确判断，表示在二者之间，介词须用between． 　　4．下文“and the young tree bent over to one side”已作出提示，该空白处应填形容词young．这里的“a thin，young one”和下文中的“the young tree”指的是同一棵小树．在第二次提到上文出现过的名词时，属于特指，应用定冠词the． 　　5．生活常识告诉我们，生长弯曲的小树，扶直后用绳子绑在另一棵树上，当它还没有长直时，解开绳子，小树就会自然地弯向一边．正确选项为A．表示二者中的“另一个”用the other，不定数目中的“另一个”用another，均与句意不符，不能选用． 　　6．我们对短文第一段中“The young man untied it, and the young tree bent over to one side.”及第二段中老人说的话“Now tie it again”，“But first pull the line tight…”进行综合分析，可以推断出该空白处应填straight，这表明了老人让把系小树的绳子拉紧的目的在于让小树长直．这个答案还可以从短文第二段中“If they are not yet able to stand alone, you must tie the line tight again.”一句判断出来． 　　7．do常可用来代替上文出现过的谓语动词或整个动词词组．根据语境，此处空白应填did，和后面的指示代词this一起代替前面直接引语中的“tie it again”和“pull the line tight”． 　　8．在四个选项中，只有动词不定式to see能作目的状语，与句意相符． 　　9．短文中用比喻的方法，说明了培养孩子的独立生活能力，和帮助弯曲的小树长直一样，我们根据条件状语从句中“If they are not yet able to stand alone”可以判断出此处空白应填副词again，表示重复“tie the line tight”这个动作． 　　10．所给四个选项的名词，都可以作短语动词take away的宾语，填入空白处语法都正确．但是我们根据前一句“If they are not yet able to stand alone, you must tie the line tight again.”就很容易判断出正确答案．
