1.
A.tedious
B.pleasant
C.instructive
D.tricky
【答案】D
【解析】文章首段首句交代了全文的主旨：每位父母都想成为好父母。下一句开头为but，句意上出现了转折，“但是如何定义好的父母是个难题”，since后给出了
原因，“因为不同的孩子对待同样的养育方式反应也是不同的"。tricky意为”棘手的，困难的"，符合题意。tedious单调沉闷的。pleasant令人愉快的。
instructive有益的。故选D。
2.
A.in addition
B.B.for example
C.at once
D.by accident
【答案】B
【解析】此题考查上下文逻辑关系，上文提到不同的孩子对待同样的养育方式会有不同的回应，此题所在句子为例证，表明如果换一种养育方式，一个冷静而听话的孩子可能会比他的弟弟或妹妹反应更好。for example表示举例分析，符合题意。in addition另外。at once立刻。by accident意外地。均不符合题意。故选B。
A.fortunately
B.occasionally
C.accordingly
D.eventually
【答案】A
【解析】空格中需要填入副词，空格所在句子表明：还有一类父母更容易描述，这类父母是耐心的父母。文章第一段开门见山，如何定义好的父母是个难题，在这里上下文语意有轻微的转折，表明但幸运的是，有一类父母比较容易被定义。因此fortunatelv表示幸运地”，符合题意。occasionally偶尔地。accordingly
相应地。eventually最终地。都不符合题意。故选A。
