问题 单项选择题

年逾花甲的联合国秘书长潘基文谈起《论语》来______,其______的中华文化功底,让在场嘉宾不禁______。

依次填入画横线部分最恰当的一项是()。

A.侃侃而谈;浓厚;赞叹不已

B.了如指掌;深厚;感慨不已

C.口若悬河;渊博;赞不绝口

D.如数家珍;深厚;暗暗称道

答案

参考答案:D

解析:

“侃侃而谈”指理直气壮、从容不迫地说话;“了如指掌”形容对事物了解得非常清楚。这两个词都只作谓语,“谈起《论语》来”后无法接这两个词,排除A、B项。“口若悬河”形容能说会辩,口才很好。文段中潘基文对中华文化有很深刻的了解,而不是能说会辩,排除C项。“深厚的功底”是固定搭配,因此本题正确答案为D。

After commuting, cooking dinner and doing household chores, the average parent has just 30 minutes to devote to their children in the evenings, according to a new study. One in four working parents worry that half an hour simply isn’t enough, while almost half fret that they aren’t a good enough parent during the week.

However, parenting experts believe just 12 minutes a day may be enough for mothers and fathers to fully reconnect with their child — as long as they ask the right questions. Child psychologist Dr Claire Halsey said asking a series of open-ended questions can help improve parents’ relationship with their children.

Among the questions recommended in the research are: “How many times have you smiled today — what made you laugh?”; “Can you act out what you did at breaktime?”; “Who is taller — mummy or your teacher?” and “What are the names of the toys you played with today?” Parents of older children are advised to start up a conversation with: “I’ve got a great story for you but I want one in return… you first!” or “Tell me some school gossip … I’m all ears!”

Dr Halsey, working with the makers of Ribena Plus, who commissioned the research, said: “There is no one as tough on their own parenting skills as a parent — but this study shows there is no need for parents to be so harsh. It’s hard for working parents to juggle all their responsibilities and it can feel like guilt is simply a parent’s lot — but it’s absolutely not. By using clever tactics such as a little preparation alongside use of open-ended questions — such as ‘Tell me what the best bit about your day was?’ — parents can reduce the time worrying about chores and work and spend more time learning about their children’s day.”
