【題目】語(yǔ)法填空
Were you the first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think it matters where you were born in your family. But there (be)different ideas aboutbirth order means. Some people say that the oldest children,are smart and strong-willed, are very likely to succeed. The reason for this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed forsame reason.

Answer 1

【答案】are；what；who；the；lost；however/ though；differently；found；their；did
【解析】本文是一篇議論文，講述孩子在家里的排行可能會(huì)影響到他們的人生。有人認(rèn)為排行第一或者最后的孩子會(huì)得到父母更多的關(guān)注和關(guān)愛(ài)，以后更容易成功。有人卻覺(jué)得他們更容易受到家庭條規(guī)的影響，在之后的生活中不善于抓住機(jī)會(huì)變通。
（1）考查主謂一致。 句意：但是關(guān)于出生的順序意味著什么，有著不同的觀點(diǎn)。主語(yǔ)為different ideas，所以謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)，故填are。
（2）考查賓語(yǔ)從句。句意：但是關(guān)于出生的順序意味著什么，有著不同的觀點(diǎn)。what birth order means 為what引導(dǎo)的從句，作about的賓語(yǔ)，表示“出生的順序意味的內(nèi)容”，what在賓語(yǔ)從句中充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ)。故填what。
（3）考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意：有人認(rèn)為年齡最大的孩子更可能獲得成功，他們聰明并且意志堅(jiān)定。oldest children為先行詞，所以用who引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句who are smart and strong-willed的定語(yǔ)從句，who在從句中作主語(yǔ)。故填who。
（4）考查冠詞。句意：因?yàn)橄嗤�的原因，�?dú)生子女也將獲得成功。固定搭配the same reason表示“同樣的原因”，故填定冠詞the。
（5）考查形容詞。句意：如果一個(gè)家庭里有很多個(gè)孩子，中間的那個(gè)孩子有時(shí)候就會(huì)在大群孩子中被忽視。lose為動(dòng)詞，表示“丟失，失去”，lost為形容詞，表示“失去的；迷路的；不知所措的”，get lost固定短語(yǔ)，“迷路；迷失方向；迷航”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知中間的孩子容易迷失在一大群孩子中，也就是得不到父母的關(guān)注。故填lost。
（6）考查連詞。句意：然而，最小的孩子總是會(huì)的得到特殊照顧。根據(jù)上文中的the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd“中間的孩子容易被忽視，”對(duì)比后文“最小的孩子”卻“總是得到特殊照顧”（often gets special treatment），可知前后文為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故填轉(zhuǎn)折連詞however/ though。
（7）考查副詞。句意：但是近來(lái)的一份研究表明事情并非如此。在本句中differently作狀語(yǔ)修飾動(dòng)詞 saw，所以用副詞形式。故填differently。
（8）考查時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)上文“But a recent study saw things”中的saw可知時(shí)態(tài)為一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故填found。
（9）考查代詞。句意：他們?cè)谒麄冎�后的生活中不�?huì)抓住太多的機(jī)會(huì)。their lives表示“他們的生活”，故填形容詞性物主代詞their。
（10）考查時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)上文“They took chances中的took”可知時(shí)態(tài)為一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故填did。
