Answer 1

分析 在教育孩子的问题上，每一位家长都责无旁贷．文中的这位妈妈在孩子小时候犯错时没有及时教育孩子走正道，导致儿子因为盗窃罪而被抓坐牢还被儿子责怪，这时才后悔不已．

解答 41．but 考查连词．根据上文的"worked hard"与下文的"poor"可知，此处表示转折，故填 but．
42．an 考查冠词．因为 overcoat 是第一次出现，且为可数名词，而且该词的发音以元音音素开头，故其前加an，表示泛指意义．
43．later 考查副词．根据下文的"…he grew up to be a young man．"可知，此处考查"一段时间+later"，表示一段时间后．故填 later．
44．still 考查副词．根据上文的"His mother praised her son instead of scolding him．"以及下文的"…did not scold her son．"可知，此处应填 still，意为"仍然"．
45．was put 考查动词时态和语态．根据上文的"One day，the police caught him．"可知，该句应用一般过去时态，且句子的主语"he"与 put 之间为被动关系，故填 was put．
46．to 考查介词．take sb．to…意为"带某人去…"．其中 to 表示"向…"，故填 to．
47．that 考查代词．句意：如果当我偷第一个包时，你就像这样责备我的话，我不可能成为一个小偷． that 用于指代已提到过的或已知的事，故填 that．
48．Looking 考查现在分词．句子的主语 she 与动词look 之间为主动关系，故用现在分词作状语．
49．scold 考查虚拟语气．表示与现在事实相反时，从句用一般过去时态，主句用would/might/could/should+动词原形．因主句中有would，要用动词原形scold．
50．regretfully 考查副词．副词修饰动词said，故填regretfully．
