62、found that with electronic books,parents asked their children fewer questions and shared fewer opinions about the story.”可知,研究人员发现,有了电子书,父母对孩子的提问减少了,对故事发表的看法减少了。这意味着在孩子使用电子书阅读时父母和孩子的沟通互动变少了,因此interact这个词意为“沟通、交流”。故选A项。34.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A.E-books are better than paper

73、w what they want to achieve,act in accordance with their views,and devote their best effort.”可知,该句和上一句是顺承的关系,因为上一句说的是自我调节的好处。故G项(当他们感到沮丧时,自我调节能使他们平静下来,也能使他们高兴起来。)承接并解释上文。故选G项。37.D根据下文“A bad-tempered child who hits others wont be popular at school.”可知,下文讲的是如果缺乏自我调节,就会产生不好的影响,所以此处说的也是不好的影响。故D项(缺少自我调节会

74、在生活中导致很多问题。)总结下文。故选D项。38.C根据下文“Later,an adult may struggle with self-regulation,either because this ability wasnt developed during childhood,or because of a lack of skills in managing difficult feelings.”可知,下文主要讲述的是成年人的情况,所以此处讲的是孩子时的情况。C项(一个缺乏安全感的孩子可能会有自我调节的困难。)符合题意。故选C项。39.E根据下文“One of the most fre

75、quently used methods is to change your thought patterns,which means that you think about a situation in a positive way,rather than one thats likely to increase negative emotions.”可知,下文讲述的是各种提高自我调节的方法。E项(总之,自我调节是如此重要,我们应该学会使用这种技能。)符合题意。故选E项。40.F根据下文“Rather than thinking that this reflects something a

76、bout yourself such asMy friend hates me,you might instead think,My friend must be really busy.” 可知,当好几天都没有收到朋友的来电时,不要想是朋友怨恨自己而是朋友很忙。F项(例如,当一个朋友好几天不回你的电话或短信的时候。)符合题意。故选F项。第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、 C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。It was the rush hour,Heather Sant was dr
