题目解答
答案
1.句意:几乎所有人还是会不时地对孩子们嚷嚷来教导他们,即使是那些知道这么做没用的父母。discipline,作动词用时有“训练,教导”的含义,yells at their kids to discipline them指父母对孩子大喊大叫来教导他们。故本题答案为:I ) discipline
2.句意:大喊大叫可能是当今最常见的为人父母者不明智的行为。widespread,作形容词用意为“普遍的,广泛的”,这里指父母这种对孩子大喊大叫的行为在当前是最普遍/常见的。故本题答案为:F ) widespread
3.句意:在经常大喊大叫的人家,子女的自尊心往往较弱,抑郁的比例更高。shouting,用作名词时意为“大喊大叫,叫嚷”,故本题答案为:N ) shouting
4.句意:在经常大喊大叫的人家,子女的自尊心往往较弱,抑郁的比例更高。self-esteem主要用作名词,意为“自尊心”,总是被父母yelling的孩子往往自尊心更弱,故本题答案为:M ) self-esteem
5.句意:嚷嚷无助于你树立权威。authoritative主要用作形容词,在这里意为“可信的,权威的”,故本题答案为:B ) authoritative
6.句意:大声叫嚷是是父母不知道还能怎么办的反应。response主要用作名词,意为“反应,响应”,故本题答案为:K ) response

8.句意:作为一种工具,纠正性的大喊大叫是没有效果的,不过是对孩子习惯性的嚷嚷而已。ineffective主要用作形容词,意为“无效的”,故本题答案为:C ) ineffective
9.句意:大声嚷嚷不是一种策略,而是一种发泄手段。release在这里用作名词,意为“宣泄,发泄”,这里指叫嚷不是一种教育手段而是父母自己的发泄手段,故本题答案为:J ) release
10.句意:如果为人父母的目标是改变孩子的某些方面,或者在孩子身上培养一种积极的习惯,那么大喊大叫可就行不通了。positive主要用作形容词,意为“积极的,良好的”,故本题答案为:L ) positive
