Answer 1

分析 本文属于记叙文，告诉我们现在孩子的户外活动时间太少，看电视玩游戏占据了太多时间．建议家长鼓励孩子多到户外活动．

解答 51．in 考查固定短语，短语 in the open air 在户外，在野外，父母要多鼓励孩子尽可能多的在户外活动
52．an 考查冠词． 本句中不定冠词 an表示泛指，与后面的a decrease形成呼应，泛指孩子看电视玩电脑的时间增加
53．and 考查连词． 本句中 Recent studies show an alarming increase in the number of hours spent by children in front of the TV and the computerand a decrease in the time spent outside．属于并列结构，看电视玩电脑的时间在增加，而户外活动时间在减少，因此用and来连接二个并列结构
54．Suffering 考查副词作状语． 动词短语suffer from..与主句主语more and more children构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词短语表主动
55．who 考查定语从句． 本题定语从句的先行词为many parents，关系代词who指代先行词在句中作主语
56．healthily考查副词．在英语中副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或者动词．因此本句用healthily来修饰动词eat
57．them 考查代词．代词them指代前句中的主语children，作为encourage的宾语
58．to learn 考查不定式作定语． 本句中不定式作为定语修饰抽象名词desire，构成短语the desire to learn学习的欲望
59．is connected考查固定短语．短语be connected with 与．．有关
60．social 考查形容词．根据句中连词and 前有一个形容词emotional 可知，该处使用形容词．

点评 解答该类语法填空时，应注意联系上下文的关系，注意其中连词、代词和冠词的使用．切记 参考词汇不能使用原型．
