参考解析

解析:本题考查对上下文的理解和动词短语辫析。第一段第一句提到:在美国,公共收养和私人收养的小孩之间存在差异,下面一句是沿着这个主题的进一步说明。选项D in与take组成短语take in“收留”符合上下文的要求。因此本题的正确选项应该是D。其余选项与take组成的短语的意思是:选项A take over“接管、接受”,一般指权利的移交;选项B take back“收回”;选项C take on“呈现”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词辫析。本空所在句句首的but表转折,说明接下来要解释其他不同的状况,所以选B means“意味着”。注意此空前面的more often than not是一个词组,表示“通常、常常”。选项A advise“建议”,公共收养有固有的规定,而不是建议;选项C admits“承认”;选项D considers“考虑”,主语一般都是人。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形容词辫析。这句话的意思是:公共收养的花费远比私人收养和国际收养的花费低,但公共收养的对象常常是5岁以上或者是有特殊需要的孩子。but的出现说明这句话内容上有要强调的部分,所以needs前选择选项B special “特别的”,符合题意。所以正确答案是选项B。不选其他选项的原因分别是:选项A precise “精确的”和选项C distinctive“独特的”一般都是表示特指;选项D occasional“偶尔的”修饰的是频率,在此不恰当。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词辫析。这句话的意思是:私人收养提供一个能够收养新生儿的机会,而且越来越多的亲生父母开始亲自为孩子选择养父母。选B的依据是下句话:从表面上来看,这种做法很不错,因为这使得亲生父母有决定孩子给谁收养的最终权利。因此,此空需要一个表达选择意思的词,所以选项B select“选择”是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是:选项A seal“密封”;选项C support“支持”;选项D delete"删除”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形容词辫析以及短语识别。这句话的意思是:从表面上来看,这种做法很不错,因为这使得亲生父母有决定孩子给谁收养的最终权利。选C的依据是:(the) final say是固定搭配,表示“最终决定权”,所以选项C final“最终的”是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形容词辫析。这句话的意思是:但这实际上是迫使想收养小孩的父母在报纸和网络上打广告,向孩子的亲生父母宣传自己,这会让许多夫妻感觉不舒服。此空中的形容词形容的是parents,且与后面的birth parents有联系,应该是有意愿收养的父母,所以选项B prospective“潜在的”是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是:选项 A respective“各自的”;选项C subjective“主观的”;选项D constructive“建设性的”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和语法知识。这句话的意思是:但这实际上……感觉不舒服。因为上一个分句已经是一个完整的句子,此空选择选项C something, 指代上一个分句的内容,同时作本分句的先行词。
本题考查对上下文的理解和语义逻辑。这句话的意思是:美国大多数州都允许亲生父母在将孩子交给养父母家后的一定时间内要回自己的孩子,时间期限从一些州的几天到其他州的几个月不等。“要回孩子”是在把孩子送出去以后再去要回来,所以选择选项D after“在……之后”。所以选项D是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和副词辫析。由下一句的句子格式“it's true that...but...”可知只是部分正确而已,所以选择选项A partly“部分地”。选项B justly“恰当地” 和选项C basically“基本地”与后面的but矛盾;而选项D accidentally“偶然地”则意思不符。所以选项A是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词短语搭配。这句话的意思是:的确,美国的亲生父母一旦将孩子交给养父母家,通常都不会要回孩子,但在签协议之前他们可以而且常常会改变主意。选C的依据是change one's mind“改变某人的主意”是固定搭配。若用make, 则应该是make up one's mind“下定决心”;put/set one's mind to是“全神贯注于……,专心于……”的意思,所以选项A、B、D均不符合题意。
本题考查对上下文的理解和名词辫析。这句话的意思是:亲生父母取消收养的可能性几乎为零。选C的依据是:此空是句子的主语,而句子的表语是zero“零”, chances有“可能性”之义,代入此处表示“可能性为零”,符合语义。所以选项C是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是:选项A hopes“希望”,选项B capabilities“能力”,选项D choices“选择”,均不符合文意。
本题考查对上下文的理解和短语辫析。各选项与call组成的短语意思分别是:call off“取消”;call on“拜访、号召”;call up“打电话、召集”;call for“需要、提倡”。联系上文的reclaim their children,这里应该是表示“取消收养”,选off。所以选项A off是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和短语固定搭配。选C的依据是:根据句末的 wears on可推断此处的时间顺序在前,at the outset“在开头时”符合语义,所以选项C是正确答案。其他选项与at the搭配的意思分别是:选项A at the corner“在拐角处”;选项B at the moment“此刻";选项D at the time“那时候”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形近名词辫析。本句的意思是:亲生父母取消收养的可能性几乎为零,而且由于费用高,他们在一开始便会做好决定,在收养过程中一般不会改变主意。wear on表示“继续进行下去”,所以这里选择选项C process“过程”。不选择其他选项的原因分别是:选项A procedure指的是具体程序和步骤,与语义不符;选项B profile “外形,侧面”;选项D project“项目”。
本题考查对上下文的理解和名词辫析。选择B的依据是:对应后半句的 which method,可知寻求收养的父母是有多种方法可以选择的,所以选B options“选择”。situation“情况、事态”与后面的method并不对应;schedule“工作的安排、计划”; proposal比较正式的“建议,提案”。
