第十六篇
Children model themselves largely on their parents.They do so mainly through identification.Children identify 1 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 2 of that parent.The things parents do and say—and the 3 they do and say to them—therefore strongly influence a child’s 4 .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 5 they want their child to become.
A parent’s actions 6 affect the selfimage that a child forms 7 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 8 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way.Children who observe chiefly 9 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 10 positive qualities in themselves.Children may 11 their selfimage, however, as they become increasingly 12 by peersgroupsstandards before they reach 13 .
Isolated events, 13 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 14 on a child’s behavior.Children interpret such events according to their established attitudes and previous training.Children who know they are loved can, 15 , accept the divorce of their parent’s or a parents early 16 .But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 17 a sign of rejection or punishment.
In the same way, all children are not influenced 18 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. 19 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 20 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

1.【答案】B
【解析】identify與with連用，意為“把……和……聯系起來”。
2.【答案】B
【解析】文中的意思是“……代表他父母特點的品質和情感”。Inform“通知”;conceive“想象”;indicative“指示的”;characteristic“特點、特性”。
3.【答案】C
【解析】這里way是指父母的行為方式。gesture手勢，expression表情，extent范圍，這三項與上行文不符。
4.【答案】A
【解析】這里是說父母的行為方式對孩子的行為影響強烈。behavior行為，words語言，mood心情，reactions反應，均不符合題意。
5.【答案】A
【解析】這里是說父母必須始終如一地表現出想讓他們的孩子成為的那種類型的人。human指人類，creatures指生物，adult指成年人。
6.【答案】C
【解析】前面是說父母的言行會強烈地影響孩子的行為，這里是說父母的言行還影響孩子的自我形象，所以用連詞also。in turn依次;nevertheless然而;as a result結果。
7.【答案】D
【解析】這里是說孩子通過鑒別身份形成自我形象，因此選擇through。
8.【答案】B
【解析】根據下文：children who observe chiefly negative qualities in their parents…，可以看出答案。
9.【答案】A
【解析】由上句positive可以推測出此處要選其反義詞negative。
10.【答案】B
【解析】have difficulty(in)doing sth.“做……有困難”，固定用法。
11.【答案】A
【解析】由however可以看出，這句話的意思是對前面“子女的自我形象要受到父母的言行影響”的轉折。modify“修改、修飾”;give up“放棄”。copy和continue不符合文義。
12.【答案】B
【解析】influenced“受影響的”;mature“成熟的”;unique“惟一的”;independent“獨立的”。句后用by…作介詞短語，故此處需要一個過去分詞。
13.【答案】C
【解析】這里是說“孤立的事件，甚至是富有戲劇性的事，都不一定會對孩子的行為產生永久的影響”。
14.【答案】D
【解析】have an effect on“對……產生影響”，固定搭配。
15.【答案】B
【解析】逗號后面的一句是對前句的解釋，是舉例說明，故選for
example。
16.【答案】A
【解析】這里or與連接的兩個詞都應是意義相似的令人不愉快的事，選項中與divorce相對應的詞只有death。
17.【答案】A
【解析】interpret與as搭配，意為“把……理解為”。
18.【答案】C
【解析】這句是說“并不是所有的孩子同樣地都受到玩具、游戲、讀物、電視節目的影響。alike“同樣地”，意思最接近。
19.【答案】D
【解析】as“正如……”;A、B項選擇是感嘆詞，后面多用逗號。Right在意思上不合適。
20.【答案】B
【解析】本句意為：家庭關系的突然變化或某種經歷對孩子的影響取決于他們對這些事如何理解。result“結果”;effect“影響”;scale“刻度”;cause“原因” |
