1.【C1】(B)
A. dismissed
B. valued
C. scorned
D. reared
解析：选项B表示“受重视的；重要的”。根据原文意思：“依据孩子们的生产率来决定他们受重视的程度”，所以选择“valued”。而选项A“打发走；解散”，选项C“轻视；嘲笑；嘲弄”，选项D“养育；饲养；抚养”均不符合题意。
2.【C2】(B)
A. neglected
B. assumed
C. enhanced
D. resumed
解析：选项B表示“承担”。根据原文，“assumed”与下文的“fulfilled完成，履行”形成搭配。而选项A“忽视、忽略”，多指有意无意地对所做的T作或应负的责任未给予充分的注意，有时含有“忘了做”的意思，强调这种结果，选项C“提高、增加、加强某物的价值、魅力或声望，从而使之超出常规水平战通常的吸引力”，选项D“重新开始或继续做某件具体的事情”；后面一般不接抽象名词，而接动名词；还可表达“重新坐到位子上、重新露出某种表情、恢复职位”等含义。A、C、D均不符合题意。
3.【C3】(B)
A. Even if
B. Until
C. Given that
D. Before
解析：“until直到……为止”符合题意。根据止下文，上文提到“assumed承担”，下文提到“fulfilled完成”，他们之间有个时间上的过度，所以选择“until”。而选项A“Even if即使；虽然”，选项C“Given that考虑到”，选项D“Before在……之前”均不符合原文意思。
4.【C4】(A)
A. subordination
B. superiority
C. cooperation
D. conviction
解析：选项A表示“从属；次要”。根据上下文，“subordination”与“more important”构成对比，是指地位由低到高的过程，即：“孩子们在家族里的地位由从属的、次要的发展到重要的”，所以选择“subordination”。而选项B“优越；优秀；卓越”与原文意思相反，选项C“合作；配合”，选项D“确信；深信；信念”均不符合原文意思。
5.【C5】(B)
A. much
B. little
C. some
D. any
解析：本题选“little”。根据文章句子一致性原则，“little”与“subordination”构成一致性，即：“由于他们的地位是下属，所以他们没有得到一点儿心理需要和能力的关心”。而其他选项均不符合原文意思。
6.【C6】(B)
A. When
B. As
C. Although
D. If
解析：“As当……时”符合题意。根据上下文，“As”既有表示时间的
