解析：

(1)	由前面struggle for可知。前面寫第三世界國家的孩子遭受物質貧窮，而發達國家的孩子遭受的是精神貧乏。
(2)	根據上文寫發達國家的孩子精神狀況較差，后面是一個具體的事實，所以應該用for instance(例如)。
(3)	分數表示法one child in five(五分之一)相當于one child out of five
(4)	后文用三個自然段具體描述發達國家和發展中國家的孩子的生活條件的不同，尤其是文章最后一句話總結了全文，所以暗示此空應該選childhood。
(5)	由后文中第三世界國家的孩子與父母、親戚和鄰居的關系近�？芍�此處應選A最全面。
(6)	與發達國家的孩子形成“對比”關系。
(7)	與上文發達國家的孩子離家人遠，形成對比，從而得出發展中國家的孩子離家人近。
(8)	用分詞作定語，grow up成長；live through度過，經受住；而work和play與上下文明顯不符。
(10)	由上一行的through可知。Through doing sth．rather than through doing sth
(11)	文中playing keeping和playing三個動名詞是選擇關系作through的賓語。
(12)	these指上文中的發展中國家的孩子，后文仍應該與“西方”發達國家的孩子相比較。
(13)	本題最大的干擾項為B。由于B項含有兩層意義：(1)同時；一起。(2)然而；不過。容易造成誤解。而on the other hand只含轉折的意義，同時包含上下文的對比，故選C。
(14)	與上文發展中國家的時間觀念是通過觀察的相對應，所以下面寫西方國家的孩子長大的“最早”標志就是(父母給他們)提供了手表，這樣一來，孩子和大人們就可以一塊關注下面的一系列事件的時間。
(15)	此句中school times/meal times/bed times/the times of TV shows…均為并列關系，作前面介詞for的賓語。由于是being late for…所以只能是擔心，而care about是“關心，在乎，介意”之意
(16)	not have to相當于needn’t，再根據still less可知，不是“不敢”，“不希望”，或“不要求”，而應是“不必要”。
(17)	由文中可知，中間三段主要講述發展中國家孩子的優點，而選項中只有freedom是褒義的。
(18)	由于全文都是寫發展中國家和發達國家孩子的生存狀況，所以，發展中國家的孩子的父母可以在外面看著孩子而不像發達國家的父母在十幾層的高樓上焦急地看著孩子在樓下玩。
(19)	前面都寫的是發展中國家孩子的好處，而下面寫的是每年都有一千二百萬5歲以下的發展中國家的孩子死于饑餓和疾病，所以上下文之間應該是一種轉折關系。above all首先；in the end最后；What’s more更糟的是。
(20)	這是一句總結全文的句子，雖然發展中國家的孩子有那么多的不利情況，但是也有某些優勢，所以說第三世界的孩子生活“并不都”是壞的。 　　本文著重闡述了發達國家和發展中國家孩子生存狀況的優劣，從而指出發展中國家的孩子的生存狀況相對于發達國家來說并不是一無是處。

提示：

此處想表明“通過參與一些公共事物(如…)孩子可以獲得角色認證。”下文列舉的為可參與的工作并且上段中提及“shares in that work”得知D項最佳。
