　　文章大意

　　本文讨论想让孩子聪明应隔两年再生二胎的话题。研究人员研究了成千上万名小孩后发现，要增进小孩的智力，最好是在两胎间相隔两年。间隔时间再短的话，年长的孩子的阅读和数学技能都会下降。这一影响在第一胎和第二胎孩子身上最为强烈，不过大家庭中有兄弟姐妹的孩子也会因此而收益。

　　答案详解

　　1.so→as语法错误。此题考查的是as... as与so...as的区别。前者既可用于肯定句，也可用于否定句。后者用于否定句。本句为肯定句，所以选择用as...as。

　　2.∧two-year→a语法错误。全句的意思为“研究了成千上万个孩子的科学家发现：促进大脑智力最好是在两胎间相隔两年”。从句主语的中心词为gap, two-year修饰gap，此处表示“一个两年的间隔”，所以应该加不定冠词a。

　　3.are→are语法错误。此处指“大家庭中有兄弟姐妹的孩子也会因此而受益”，没有被动语义，are是多余的，故删。

　　4.unfortunately→fortunately语篇错误。上段提及研究者认为孩子之间两年的年龄间隔是最佳时间。而Kasey Buckles的孩子恰好相差两岁，联系上文，应该是相当幸运的，unfortunately应改成fortunately。

　　5.young→younger语篇错误。整句的意思为“她认为孩子学习成绩的差别可能和家长在更小孩子出生前能投入到孩子身上的时间和资源有关系”。这句中提到的是年龄更小的小孩，这是相比较而育的，所以应该用比较级younger，向不是原形young。

　　6.for→for词汇错误。wait for的宾语为sb.，表示“等候某人”，如果wait后接的是时间，则不需要加介词。wait的搭配可以为sb.wait some time for sb.to do sth.。

　　7. lead→led语法错误。who引导的定语从句修饰先行词Kasey Buckles，研究发生在过去，谓语动词应为过去时，lead的过去式为led。

　　8.was→were语法错误。本题考查的是主谓一致。从句中的主语为gaps between children in larger families，中心词为gaps，所以谓语动词也应用复数形式。

　　9.∧more→was词汇错误。这里的pronounced不是动词的过去式，而是作形容词修饰说明effect的，意为“显著的”。故此处应加上系动词was，构成系表结构。

　　10. less→more语篇错误。根据逻辑判断，只有更有钱的家庭能够花费更多，而不是更贫穷的家庭。less应该改成more。该句意为“影响效果在那些低收入家庭中更为显著，因为那些更有钱的家庭可以多花钱来弥补因为缺乏时间带来的不利影响。”
