Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】E

【3】A

【4】B

【5】D

【解析】

短文講了在一個家庭里有一個孩子，或者是有兩個孩子，甚至是更多的孩子，以及他們出生的先后，都會影響他們的性格。

【1】根據(jù)下文“You could play with him or her.”可知him和her指代此空中的人，C選項“但是如果你有一個妹妹或者弟弟呢”，him和her指代brother和sister。故選C。

【2】根據(jù)空后“But there could be hard times, too. You may fight.”可知空前和前面兩句是你和弟弟妹妹可以一些做的好一點的事，而But表示轉(zhuǎn)折，后接的是相處中比較困難的事。E選項意為“你們也可以互相照顧”，也是兄弟姐妹相處好的一方面。故選E。

【3】根據(jù)下文“US psychologists (心理學家) Kevin Leman says the birth order helps shape children’s personalities (性格).”可知此段介紹的是出生順序?qū)π愿竦挠绊�，因�?/span>A選項“甚至于出生順序也會有影響”，引出出生順序。故選A。

【4】根據(jù)空前“According to Leman, parents are usually nervous and strict with their first child.”可知此處介紹的是家長會對第一個出生的孩子更嚴格，B選項意為“因此一個家庭里最年長的孩子想要變的完美和成功的”，符合語境。故選B。

【5】根據(jù)“But for late-born kids, parents are usually more relaxed.”可知此段介紹晚出生的孩子，家長對他們沒有那么的嚴格，因此也就沒有那么多規(guī)則，D選項意為“因此年輕的孩子沒有那么多規(guī)則”，符合語境。故選D。
