Answer 1

分析 文章主要提了一些帮助孩子为未来的工作做好准备的建议．做题时需要考虑空白处与前后句子的关系，还要了解段落大意．

解答 36．D．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据前一句The jobs of the future have not yet been invented未来的工作还没有发明出来．所以我们也不知道它们究竟是什么样子的．更谈不上让我们的孩子为之做好准备．我们能做的就是让我们的孩子练好传统的技能，D选项So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don't yet exist？，符合，故选D．
37．A．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力． 根据下一行"What ingredients （配料）can we add to make these pancakes even better next time？"可知本段讲述的是做饭，这也是一项传统技能．我们要鼓励孩子和我们一起做饭，通过孩子的好奇心来培养这种传统的技能，故 A选项Encourage kids to cook with you．，符合，所以选择A．
38．C．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力． 根据前面一句True creativity is the ability to take somethingexisting and create something new真正的创造能力是从现存的东西里创造出新的东西的能力．所以我们给孩子机会让他们用新的方法来考虑这些现有的事物，以此来培养他们的创造能力．C选项We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways．，符合上下文串联，故选C．
39．F．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据下面的三个问题"Why do you think she's crying？""Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face？""If someone were to do that to you，how would you feel？"可知我们要让孩子来思考为什么别人会有各种行为．以此培养他们理解他人思想的能力，以免错误的判断形势得出错误的结论．所以问一下故事里的有关问题可以培养孩子这方面的能力，F选项We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories．，符合，故选F．
40．G．考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据后文there are many ways to express thoughts and ideas"可知，本段讲的是表达想法的方法，G项"用一种有意义的方法来表达想法是一种很有价值的技能"符合语境，故选G．

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．
