L)wonderE)chooseM)neverF)differentN)sameG)coinmonO)youngH)ever

43、[SI]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：”…thatyoungpeoplehavetotheirownlifestyles”,由空格前面

的haveto可知此处应该用动词原型；再考虑后面的宾语“theirownlifestyles”可知可

供选择的动词原型中choose符合上下文的意思。

44、[S2]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：“Inmoresocietieswhen..7*,以语法的角度来考虑，空格前面

的more为比较级的标志，而空格后面紧跟的又是society,所以空格处应为形容

词；再从句意上来考虑，可以选择出修饰societies较为合适的词为traditionalo

45、[S3]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：“theyareexpectedtoliveintheareaastheirparents”,我们nJ'以

看到空格前面有the,后面有as,再从上下文的意思考虑,可以很容易地选出

samco

46、[S4]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：”outofthefamilyhomeatanearlyage"意思是说“在很小的年纪

就离开了家“，故只有动词“move(移动)”符合题义。

47、[S5]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：“theirparentshave______metardchoose…”，由原文可知此处用的是

现在完成时，且句子成份完整，而诬此就是要选择一个词既符合语法结构，又符

合上下文的意思，我们从上下文可以判断，此处不是表肯定，而是要表否定，所以

我们不能选ever,而要选nevero

48、[S6]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：我们可以看到空格后的from,从文章意思看要说明“年轻人选择不同

于他们父母的职业“，所以选differento

49、[S7]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：“parentsoften____theirchildrentodobetterthan../\从句子成份来

看，空格处应该是一个谓语丽「前面的。ften说明应该用一般现在时，主语

parents是复数，所以应该用动词原型，从上下文意思来看，expect符合要求。

50、[S8]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：“thethatparents.that在此引导的是定语从句，可知空

格处应该是一个名词，从上下文以及定语从句的内容，可以判断ambilions是正确

答案。

51、[S9]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：”…havelittleinwith…”，由句子成份可知此空格处应为形容

词，因为全文都是在说代沟以及父母和子女的不同，所以我们可以选出common为

正确答案。

52、[S10]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：“Inatraditionalculture,peoplearevaluedfbr...,\由修饰后面

的名词people,所以此处应该用形容词，由空格前的内容可知此处是要说年长的人

们，所以血处应该用elderlyo
