　　答案解析

　　瀏覽全文，我們了解到本文前兩段主要講述人們可能患感冒，感冒會影響人們的正常生活;第三段主要講感冒發(fā)生的季節(jié)和氣候環(huán)境;第四段主要講感冒傳播的途徑。

　　1. L)。此處需要一個名詞。感冒也是一種病，這里指的是你和你的小孩患感冒的幾率比其他任何一種病的幾率都大，故選illness。

　　2. B)。此處需要一個介詞。因為所接的詞"childhood"是一個時間段概念，在這個持續(xù)性的時間里，感冒也經(jīng)常發(fā)生。

　　3. M)。此處需要一個動詞。感冒是導(dǎo)致學(xué)生不能正常上學(xué)的普遍原因，"miss school"表示耽誤學(xué)業(yè)。

　　4. K)。此處需要一個名詞。"strain"的意思之一為"(疾病的)類型"，而備選答案中的"tension"只表示"緊張，不安"。

　　5. A)。此處需要一個名詞。"day care"意思為(托兒所的)日托，正好符合上下文的意思。

　　6. D)。此處需要一個動詞。"occur"表示"出現(xiàn)，發(fā)生"，而且后文說在冬天，感冒的情況出現(xiàn)得更加頻繁，進(jìn)一步確定了答案應(yīng)該是"occur"。

　　7. N)。此處需要一個形容詞。在沒有冬季的地區(qū)，雨季是感冒的高發(fā)期。

　　8. H)。此處需要一個名詞。當(dāng)一個人患感冒時，他不停流鼻涕的鼻子中肯定充滿了病毒。

　　9. I)。此處需要一個動詞。"catch a cold"是固定搭配，表示患感冒。

　　10. C)。此處需要一個動名詞。當(dāng)你觸摸過帶有病毒的東西，再觸摸自己的鼻子、眼睛或嘴，就會被感染，所以選touching再合適不過了。
