Over the course of the past 35 years,assisted reproductive technologies(ARTs)have been increasingly used worldwide,while debates on their safety have been generated.Birth defects and imprinting disorders were reported in previous research.Thus,the psychological development of children born following ARTs has become a major concern nowadays.This review gives a systematic view of psychological well-being of children conceived by different types of ART,including in vitro fertilization,intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI),preimplantation genetic diagnosis/screening,and in vitro maturation.The previous studies are analyzed in three sections:(1)cognitive,motor,and language developments,(2)behavior problems and socio-emotional development,and(3)parent-child relationship.We conclude that although the majority of the studies on cognitive,motor,and language developments reported comparable achievements in the ART group vs.the naturally conceived group,lower intelligence quotient(IQ)scores,worse visual-motor ability or locomotor development,and delayed receptive language competence were found in the ART group.The results on the socio-emotional development were reassuring.As for the behavior problems,a higher prevalence of behavior problems existed in ART children;moreover,ICSI children were found to be at a higher risk of autism than the general population.Meanwhile,ART parents tended to have positive parental attitudes and be more protective of their children.Some suggestions for further research are also given in this review.

什么是语境?简单地说,语境就是语言环境,其实广义的语境包括语言环境(如上下文、词语的搭配)和非语言环境(如交际环境、背景知识等)。  近几年高考英语完形填空题的最大特点就是以考查语境为主,其中有80%以上的考点均在不同程度上涉及语境考查。它要求考生能根据短文本身所提供的有关信息进行分析和推断,并从给定的选项中选出最佳答案填空。做这些题目时,考生不仅要结合空格的前后句信息进行分析,有时可能还要根据文
