Question

One day, I was teaching my daughter how to paint. I saw that a lot of her energy went into______her brush into the paint, and then into a bowl of water. But then most of the paint that was on the______would just disappear in the water. As an______ mother, I was thinking, “I am trying to teach you how to paint on paper and what are you doing? This is not what you are ______to do. You have to do this way.”

But she is three years old so she is probably not going to______doing it the right way. She had so much______dipping the brush in the paint and in the water bowl. Pretty much within an hour, most of the paint was all over the room and I just sat there with my hands______my head thinking, “Oh my god, this girl is hopeless.” Soon after, however, she shouted, “Mama, when I______pink and blue, it turns purple!”

I was surprised.______I was thinking that she was wasting perfectly good paint and paper, she______learned something. What would have been a very theoretical(理论的) experiment turned into a very______experiment.

I am a designer and work with software like Photoshop and Illustrator. When my daughter sees me work on the______, she is always very curious and she wants to work with me on the same thing that I do. She starts to______with buttons, and in that process, sometimes lands up______me things! There will be many times when she will find______new. I will ask her______, and she will tell me, “I pressed this, and I pressed this, and then this happened.”

One of the things I realized from this is that everyone has a(n)______way of learning things. When I was growing up, I______to literature very well, so everything that was turned into a story became my way of learning and______ different concepts. Some kids understand through art, some understand through math and games, and it’s the job of a parent or a teacher to watch and______how children learn and try their best to make these experiences educational.

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了“我”在陪伴女儿画画时，发现她用自己的方法学到了东西，因此“我”明白了要尊重并善于发现不同的学习或探索的方法，让孩子们不同的经历变得有教育意义。

1.考查动词词义辨析。dip浸，蘸；throw扔，抛；break 打破，折断；sweep，扫地。由第二句句意知是指用刷子蘸上颜料，A符合题意。故A选项切题。

2.请在此填写小题的解析!此题考查名词词义辨析。plate盘子；brush刷子；paper纸；bowl碗。由“I saw that a lot of her energy went into___1___her brush into the paint, and then into a bowl of water.”可知是指把刷子放入水里，B符合题意，故B选项切题。

3.此题考查形容词词义辨析。optimistic乐观的；impatient不耐烦的；energetic充满活力的；independent独立的。由“I am trying to teach you how to paint on paper and what are you doing?”“ You have to do this way.”可知，文中母亲十分不解与不满女儿的做法，她认为女儿不该这样做，可推知母亲有些不耐烦。A,C,D均与内容无关，故B选项切题。

4.此题考查动词词义辨析。suppose预期，猜想；allow允许；intend打算，想要；trick欺骗，哄骗。由“ You have to do this way.”可知母亲不满意女儿的做法，因此女儿的做法不是她应该要做的。be supposed to应该做某事，符合题意。故A选项切题。

5.考查动词词义辨析。Keep保持；consider考虑；bother烦扰；remember记住。由“But she is three years old so she is probably not going to___5___doing it the right way.”可知母亲认为女儿才三岁，还不理解具体要怎么办，不应该强迫她或者烦扰她以正确的方式来做，故C选项切题。

6.此题考查名词词义辨析。regret遗憾；fun快乐，乐趣；disappointment沮丧，失望；trouble麻烦。由文章可知女儿一直沉浸在把刷子蘸上颜料再放入水中，可得知她认为这样很有趣，故B切合题意。

7.此题考查介词词义辨析。beside在……旁边；over在……上方（未接触）；below在……下面；on在……上面（表示接触或者由某一表面撑着）。可知母亲把手搭在脑袋上思考，手捧着脑袋，有接触，故D选项切题。

8.此题考查动词词义辨析。add增加，添加；combine使……结合，调和；mix混合，配置；take 拿，取。由原文可知，女儿把颜色混杂在了一起，调配出来新的颜色。mix意为混杂，搅拌，故C选项切合题意。

9.此题考查连词词义辨析。while当……时；because因为；if如果；before在……之前。上文说女儿在把带着颜色的刷子不停地放进水中时，我正在旁边思考，两事一起发生，故A选项切题。

10.此题考查副词词义辨析。accidentally偶然地；immediately立即地；fortunately幸运地；actually实际上地。此处是讲女儿在蘸刷子的过程中将两种不同的颜色调在一起成了新的颜色。原本“我”认为她这样做是错误的，实际上却学到了东西。故D选项切题。

11.此题考查形容词词义辨析。interesting有趣的；practical实际的；beneficial有益的；novel新奇的。此处讲女儿把不同颜色颜料混在一起变成了新的颜色，把理论变成了实际。Theoretical理论的，与practical实际的相对。故B选项切题。

17.此题考查形容词词义辨析。different不同的；efficient有效的；quick迅速的；strange陌生的，奇怪的。根据上文女儿没有按照常规方法画画却也学到了一定东西，可推测知此处讲每个人都有不同的方法，故A选项切题。
