China has the【1】 (distinct) of respecting the aged and cherishing the young. Contrary to popular belief, however, older people generally do not want to live with their children.

According to the latest 【2】 (analyze), about 80% of people 65 years and older have frequent contact with their children. About 75% of elderly parents 【3】 don't go to nursing homes live within 30 minutes for the sake of 【4】 (convenient).

However, 【5】 (mere) having contact with children does not guarantee happiness in old age. So far, some researchers 【6】 (find) that people who are most associated with their families have the lowest spirits. So it is more likely 【7】 poor health, not just family involvement, deepens spirits.

Increasingly, researchers have begun to look at the quality of relationships, rather than at the frequency of contact, between the elderly and their children. If parents and children come to a compromise 【8】 taking good care of children, they are likely to enjoy each other's company. Disagreements on such matters can turn out 【9】 (be) problems. If parents are angered by their daughter's divorce, dislike her new husband, and disapprove of how she is raising 【10】 grandchildren, chances are that they are not going to enjoy her visits.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】distinction

【2】analysis/analyses

【3】who /that

【4】convenience

【5】merely

【6】have found

【7】that

【8】on/over

【9】to be

【10】their

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】distinction 冠词用在名词前面，故填distinction。

【2】analysis/analyses 句意：根据最近的分析。形容词修饰名词，故填analysis/analyses。

【3】who /that 此处parents是先行词，指人，后面的定语从句缺少引导词、缺少主语，故填who /that。

【4】convenience 表示“因为方便的缘故”。这里用名词形式作定语修饰sake，故填 convenience。

【5】merely 副词修饰动词，故填merely。

【6】have found 根据So far可知，此处用现在完成时态，再根据主语some researchers，故填have found。

【7】that 此处it是形式主语，that引导的主语从句是真正的主语，故填that。

【8】on/over 句意：如果父母和孩子们在照顾好孩子的问题上妥协。表示“在某方面”用on/over。

【9】to be turn out + to be + 形容词表示“结果是……”，故填to be。

【10】their 句意：她正在养育他们的孙子。故填their。

【知识拓展】

现在完成时不能和明确表示过去的时间连用，如：

yesterday昨天，last year去年，two years ago两年之前，in 1999在一九九九年，just now刚才等。

和现在完成时连用的时间状语都和现在密切相关，这类时间状语常见的有：

1.表示一段时间的状语

for达……之久，since自从……以来，in the last few years在最近几年来

2.表示过去的时间副词

just刚刚，before以前，recently最近，lately近来。

如：The train has just left.火车刚刚离开。

3.表示不确定的时间副词

already已经，yet已经（用于疑问句），never从不，ever曾经，not...yet尚未

4.包含现在的时间状语

so far至今为止。
