Working Mothers

Carefully conducted researches that have followed the children of working mothers have not been able to show any long-term problems, compared with children whose mothers stayed at home. My personal (1)is that mothers should be allowed to work if they wish.

(1) A. view B. idea

C. thought D. decision

【答案】A

【解析】第1题空格要求填一个名词，根据句子意思，我的个人观点是，四个选项中，B和C的意思只是一个想法，D选项的意思是决定，只有A选项的view观点符合语义，所以本题答案是A选项。

【译文】我的个人观点是，只要妈妈们想工作，那么她们就可以工作。

Whether we like it or not, there are a (2)of mothers who just have to work.

(2) A. percentage B. group

C. number D. proportion

【译文】不管我们是否喜欢这一点，有许多妈妈不得不工作，这是事实。

【答案】C

【解析】第2题空格要求填一个名词，跟后面的of mothers构成复数结构，根据句子意思，有许多妈妈不得不工作。四个选项中，a number of 是固定搭配，意思是：许多的，大量的。也只有a number of可以和后面的mothers构成复数结构，而其他的三个词都不合适。所以本题答案选C选项。

There are those who have invested such a big part of their lives in establishing a career that they cannot (3) to see it lost.

(3) A. afford B. decide

C. hope D. expect

【答案】A

【解析】第3题空格要求填一个动词，根据句子意思，看到事业失去，她们承受不起。四个选项中符合语义的只有A选项afford，cannot afford to do sth是固定搭配，意思是负担不起……。所以本题答案是A选项。

【译文】有这样的母亲，她们已投入了大半生去创建事业，若是失去这份事业，她们承受不起。

Then there are many who must work out of pure economic (4).

(4) A. reason B. duty

C. necessity D. task

【答案】C

【解析】第4题空格要求填一个名词，根据句子意思，出于经济需要，四个选项中，C和D选项语义略显牵强，而A选项和C选项都符合语义，但reason 和out of搭配时，还有不合理的意思，所以，综合考虑，还是C选项符合本句的要求。本题答案选C选项。

【译文】还有许多母亲完全是出于经济上的原因必须工作。

Many mothers are not (5)out to be full-time parents. After a few months at home with a much loved infant, they feel trapped and isolated.

(5)A. made B. cut

C. brought D. born

【答案】B

【解析】第5题空格要求填一个过去分词，与out搭配，根据句子意思，许多母亲不适合当全职母亲。四个选项中，A选项made out的意思是理解、辨认出，C选项brought out的意思是产生、使显示，而be cut out to be=be cut out for,的意思是适合做……。所以，本题答案是B选项。

【译文】很多母亲并不是做全职母亲的这块料，与这么可爱的婴儿在家待几个月之后，她们感觉受到了限制，被孤立了。

There are a number of options when it (6)to choosing childcare.

(6) A. refers B. concerns

C. turns D. comes

【答案】D

【解析】第6题考察的是when it+动词+to的搭配，显然，四个选项中，只有D是正确的, when it comes to：当提到……，涉及……。所以本题答案是D选项。

【译文】涉及儿童托管，有很多方式可供选择。

These range from child minders and nannies through to Granny or the kind lady (7) the street.

(7) A. of B. opposite

C. across D. next to

【答案】C
