　　答案与题解:

　　1. A 此处阐明作者的观点，只有view 能代表对某方面的"见解"或"观点"，其他选项只是单 纯的"想想、法"或是"决定", 不合题意。

　　2. C a number of 是固定搭配，修饰可数名词，表示数量上"很多"。

　　3. A can't afford to do sth.为惯用语，表示"负担不起……"。

　　4. C 此题四个选项在语法上都能与前面的 out of 搭配，out of reason 意为"无理的,不合理的" ，out of duty 与 out of task 意思是"出于责任，任务的"，out of necessity "有必要，出于.…...的必要，综合分析只有C选项填入此空较为合理。

　　5. B 固定搭配 be cut out for/be cut out to do sth. 意为"适合于，天生就是做某事的料" ，make out"理解，辨认出;亲热" ，bring out"使显出;出版;生产"，只有 B 选项符合文意。

　　6. D it comes to sth. 为惯用说法，在这里意思是"涉及"，整句说的是"当涉及儿童托管时，有许多方式可供选择"，refer to 意为"指……而言"。

　　7. C across the street 意为"街对面"，其他选项的词搭配不当，故选 C。

　　8. C 此处讨论在现实状况下，很多父母根本没有选择的余地。"在现实状况下"就是 in reality ，此题容易误选 B ，in fact 意为"事实上，实际上"，常常表示经过推论得出的结果，放在此处其实也不算错，但是完形填空不是让我们选出正确的答案，而是选出最合适的选项，故此题选 C。

　　9. B no matter +疑问词，表示"无论……"，此句意为"不管你选的托管方式有多好，一些孩子被留下时，都会激烈抗议"。

　　10. A perfectly normal 为惯用说法，意思是"完全正常的"，其他选项虽说在语法上与逻辑上也不错，但 perfectly 更好些。

　　11. C family members"家庭成员"，其他选项均不适合，C 为正确答案。

　　12. D 首先从逻辑上排除 A 和 B 选项，一定是留给孩子足够"多"的时间。C 选项 lots 后面若能加上介词 of 则构成修饰可数名字的短语，lots of"许多的"，原文中被修饰词 time 是不可数名词，只有 D 选项 plenty of 可以修饰不可数名词，表示"大量的"。

　　13. B 四个选项中除了 fond 与 of 搭配，意为"喜欢"之外，其他的选项都可与 to 搭配，be used to sth./doing"习惯于(做)某事"，be attached to"依附于，依恋于" ，be keen to do sth. "急切， 渴望"，此处孩子要"依恋于"母亲，因此 B 选项正确。

　　14. D 此处意为"为你的孩子做到最好"，一般用 do one' s best for ，而不用 make one' s best ，若想用 give，则是 give one' s best to，因此只有 D 选项符合要求。

　　15. A 上半句的 quantity 已经对此题的答案做出了暗示，一定是"质量" quality 与"数量" quantity 相对。
