48、[SI]

标准答案：concerned

知识点解析：此处应为固定搭配，beconcernedwith意为“关心，担忧

49、[S2]

标准答案：prosperity

知识点解析：此处需要,个名词，和economic•起表示经济前景，prosperity“繁

荣，前景''符合语义。

50、[S3]

标准答案：consideration

知识点解析：据逻辑分析可知此处需要一个名词做receive的宾语，再根据前一句

的句意，这里consideralion更符合句意。

51、[S4]

标准答案：status

知识点解析：此处用status说明孩子们的地位在家庭和社会中越来越受到重视，与

上下文达成一致。

52、[S5]

标准答案：Consequently

知识点解析：通常一个施立的句子成分可由副词承担，consequenlly意为“结果”。

53、[S6]

标准答案：protecting

知识点解析：此处需要用动词的现在分词做ihevarielyofsiatules的定语，表运保

护孩子们的权利。

54、[S7]

标准答案：view

知识点解析：这里view是对前文叙述的总结，上文提到了“观点”一词，从中我们

可以判断flew的后面应该是view<>

55、[S8]

标准答案：rearing

知识点解析：考查构词法，本文主要讲述孩子在家庭中的地位，而此处又涉及到孩

子的培养问题，chiId-rearing“抚养孩子”正合此意。

56、[S9]

标准答案：considerable

知识点解析：此处需要一个形容词修饰做portion的定语，considerable是“大量的”

意思一般修饰不可数名词。

57、[S10]

标准答案：contemporary

知识点解析♦：这篇文章加绍的是美国社会中孩子社会化的问题，应该说这一现象是

当前社会问题之一，所以contemporary符合句意。

知识点解析：细节题。依据在第四段末句”…butmostlysaboteursinterferewiththe

huntbymisleadingridersanddisturbingthetrailofthefox'ssmell,whichthedogs

follow”.在大多数情况下，阻拦猎狐的人以误导骑手和搞乱猎狗追踪狐狸留下气

味踪迹的办法来干扰猎狐，故选项C正确。

61>AnewlawmaybepassedbytheBritishParliamentto.

A、prohibitfarmersfromhuntingfoxes

B、forbidhuntingfoxeswithdogs

C、stophuntingwildanimalsinthecountryside

D、preventlarge-se,arefoxhunting

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。艰据文章最后一段倒数第二句"…togetParliamenttoapprove

anewlawwhichwillmakethehuntingofwildanimalswithdogsillega「即”督促议会通

过一项新法案，将带狗猎杀野生动物列为非法行为”。而狐狸是野生动物的一种，

故选B为正确选项。C项之所以不对，是因为该法律只针对用狗猎捕野生动物做出

限制。A、D两项内容与原文不符。

ANkillingfoxeswithpoisonisillegal

B、limitingthefoxpopulationisunnecessary

C、huntingfoxeswithdogsisconsideredcruelandviolent

D、fbx-huntingoftenleadstoconfrontationbetweenthepoorandtherich

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理题。从第四段第二句"Butoverthelastcoupleofdecadesthe

numberofpeopleopposedtofoxhunting,becausetheythinkitisbrutal,hasrisen

sharply”可知，反对猎捕狐狸的人数急剧增加是因为他们认为猎捕狐狸是很残忍

的，而猎狐的反对者反对的不是农民的猎狐，而是富人们作为娱乐的猎狐，此外议

员的提议也是针对用猎狗捕杀野生动物的行径。由此推断用猎狗捕杀狐狸是很残忍

的事情，故C为正确答案。
