题文
I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ （智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample （样本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s,taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.

答案
小题1:D
小题2:C
小题3:B
小题4:D
小题5:C
解析
本文是典型的议论文，论点：是“反对定期喂养婴儿”；论据：1.我们不知道婴儿的血糖的情况2.定期喂养的危害 3.实验表明，按需喂养较定期喂养的孩子更聪明；结论：希望结束定期喂养的习惯。小题1:细节理解题。由第二段最后一句 “The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth”可知。其中searching for food 和hungry 是同义重现。ABC项在文中没有提及，属于无中生有。
小题2:推理判断题。由第三段第三句I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous （荒谬可笑的）以及本文最后一句可知。ridiculous 和wrong idea属于同义重现。
小题3:词义猜测题。由第四段及第五段的实验结果的具体描述可知。另外，也可以代入ABCD四个选项的意思，A为基本的，B为可靠的，C为令人惊讶的，D为有趣的，只有B最合适。
小题4:细节理解题。由第四段第三句 “By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable”可知。IQ 高和 wiser 属于同义重现。
小题5:细节理解题。由本文的第一句（I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly）就提出观点，“反对定期喂婴儿”，最后一句（I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices）希望结束主张严格按时喂养的习惯。既然“不定期”，也就是按婴儿需要喂养，故选C。另外，也可以根据“The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ （智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable.”句中的on demand和whenever it wants food 是同义重现。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：
一、文章特点：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。
二、解题技巧：
针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
