Answer 1

分析 一些人認(rèn)為你出生在家庭中的什么位置是很重要的．最大的孩子能得到父母的充分注意，所以很可能會(huì)成功；最小的也能得到特別的照顧；而中間的孩子往往被忽視．

解答 61．it；考查代詞，此處it做形式賓語(yǔ)，真正的賓語(yǔ)是后面的"where you were born in your family"．
62．what；考查名詞性從句，此處what引導(dǎo)一個(gè)從句作介詞about的賓語(yǔ)，疑問(wèn)代詞what在從句中動(dòng)詞means的賓語(yǔ)．
63who；考查定語(yǔ)從句，．這是一個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是oldest children，在非限制性定語(yǔ)從句中充當(dāng)主語(yǔ)，故答案為who．
64．to succeed；考查固定搭配，be likely to do sth．"可能做某事"，故答案為to succeed．
65．for；考查介詞，the reason for …是固定搭配，意為"…的理由"．句意"這個(gè)理由很簡(jiǎn)單．"故答案為for．
66．the；考查定冠詞，same常與定冠詞the連用，the same reason"同樣的理由"．故答案為the．
67．treatment；考查名詞，此處用名稱形式treatment做動(dòng)詞get的賓語(yǔ)．
68．differently；考查副詞，副詞differently作狀語(yǔ)修飾動(dòng)詞saw．
69．their；考查形容詞性物主代詞，主語(yǔ)是they，此處指的是在他們的生命中．句意"在他們的生命中沒(méi)有很多機(jī)會(huì)．"故答案為their．
70．followed；考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)，整篇文章是過(guò)去時(shí)，所以此處follow謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用一般過(guò)去時(shí)followed．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 首先要通讀全文，了解大意，抓住上下文語(yǔ)境所提供的信息，明確空格所要填的詞義，詞型和短語(yǔ)搭配，給出所要填的正確形式，然后整體閱讀，核對(duì)答案．
