[解析]
(1)D.推理判断题,根据第一段中的"but you are surrounded by surprising consumption.This contrast is beginning to bother your 6﹣year﹣old son.You are worried that he will want to live as they do,and wonder if you should move.但你被惊人的消费所包围。这种反差开始困扰你6岁的儿子了。你担心他会像他们一样生活,并考虑是否应该搬家。"由此可推断出,作者担心周围邻居对孩子的影响令人担忧,分析选项可知,D符合题意,故选D。
(2)A.推理判断题。根据第三段"Or you may find that some of these parents stay in one wing of their big house while their child plays by himself,way off in a wing of his own.In that unfortunate case,he is basically growing up alone without being looked after properly,but this can happen to a child who lives in normal﹣size house,too,或者你可能会发现,有些父母住在他们大房子的一侧,而他们的孩子在自己的一侧玩耍。在这种不幸的情况下,他基本上是在没有得到适当照顾的情况下独自长大的,但这种情况也可能发生在一个住在正常大小的房子里的孩子身上。"作者认为父母对孩子的不关心,孩子独自一人玩耍是一件不幸的事。由此可以看出作者觉得应该更多关注和照顾孩子。分析选项可知A项符合题意,故选A。
(3)A.词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子"like those super﹣big houses.The wealth of their owners ﹣﹣﹣ and the way they throw money around﹣﹣﹣ may make your son feel sorry for himself,unless you help him understand that you and his dad save some of the money" "就像那些超大的房子,他们的主人的财富﹣﹣以及他们到处乱扔钱的方式"可能让你的儿子为自己感到难过,除非你帮助他明白你和他爸爸存了一些钱。由这两种人及生活方式的对比,钱不多,要节约钱,有钱人,自然"花钱随意"。throw money around的直接意思是到处扔钱。可知有钱人"扔钱"是随意乱花的意思。分析选项可知A 项符合题意,A.spend money carelessly花钱不小心;B.save money for their children为他们的孩子存钱;C.help the poor people willingly自愿帮助穷人;D.leave money all around the house把钱放在房子里。故选A。
(4)C.主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了讲邻居及家长对孩子的不同程度的影响,孩子需要父母的正确指导,这比单纯给钱更有用。分析选项可知C项符合题意,故选C。
