解析

1.本句意为他们的业余生活要由陌生人来照料。in the hands of“由……控制或照料”，固定搭配。2.grown children过去分词作定语，意为长大的孩子。3.regular“定期的、有规律的”；normal“正常的”；constant“经常的”；lasting“持续的”，这里指定期来看望的人。4.imaginary“不真实的、虚构的”；imaginable“可想象的”；imaginative“富于想象力的”；imagery意为肖像。5.that引导定语从句。6.根据上下文，how引导宾语从句，表示“如何、怎么样”。7.average指一般、通常的情况；common表示“普通的”，强调大部分；ordinary与special相对立，强调普遍性；standard“标准的”。8.用moreover“而且”，表示两句间递进的关系。如果further加上more，也表示递进关系。9.ago“以前”，指从现在算起；before是从过去某个时刻算起。10.share，共享的，常与common搭配。connt同意。11.这里要用复数，故选people。12.would表示一种意愿，can表示能力。主句是过去时，故选could。13.questioned和inquired表示“询问、疑问”；interrogate“审问”。故interviewed“面试、访问”符合句意。14.take on“承担”；take in“欺骗、收容”；take up“从事”；take off“脱下”、“起飞”。take on符合句意，承担照顾年老亲戚的责任。15.obligation“责任、义务”；admiration“羡慕”；initiative“首创的，开始的”；necessity“必要性”。本句与上句意思相近，故选obligation。16.make sb do sth.表示“使某人……”，符合句意。17.someone在这里泛指某个人。Anyone、anybody指任何人，everyone指每个人。18.dependent“依靠别人的”；dependable“可靠的”；independent“独立的”。19.mutually“共同地”；similarly“同样地、相似的”；differently“不同地”；certainly“当然地”。只有共同地符合句意。20.involved“涉及、牵涉到”；included“包含”；excluded“排除在外、不包括”；considered“考虑到”。本句意为可能涉及到的每一个人。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Many people wrongly .....”主要考查你对 [人生感悟类阅读 ]考点的理解。 人生感悟类阅读

人生感悟类阅读的概念：

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：

一、文章特点： 生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。二、解题技巧：针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
