    答案:
    1. Criticism and self-criticism is necessary (批評與自我批評是非常必要的)in that it helps us to find and correct our mistakes. (本題考查名詞用法。了解了“批評”和“自我批評”的表達(dá)法之后直譯就可以了。題干中的in that意為“由于,因?yàn)椤?
    2. Frequently single-parent children take on some of the functions that the absent adult in the house would have served (這些義務(wù)本來由他的父親或母親履行的)
    (本題考查定語從句和時(shí)態(tài),從“本來由他的父親或母親履行”可知,此處應(yīng)用過去完成時(shí))
    3. Despite the increase in airfares (機(jī)票漲價(jià)),most people still prefer to travel by plane.
    (本題考查despite的用法,despite 考試&大意思是“盡管,不顧”,后面接名詞或名詞性詞組)
    4. The workers’ demands were moderate (工人們的要求是適度的),they only asked for a small raise in their wages.
    (本題考查形容詞moderate,moderate意思為“不過分的,適度的”)
    5. I would rather go out to look for a job (我寧愿出來找工作)instead of moping around here every day.
