(2014·广东卷)(说明文)

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have __1__ feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common __2__ between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over __3__ rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children's refusal to help with the __4__.On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for __5__ the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.

The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different __6__ to these problems. However, some approaches are more __7__ than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but __8__ clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children's __9__. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the __10__ of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don't help their parents with the shopping don't find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to __11__ their actions. Psychologists say that __12__ is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should __13__ to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may __14__ their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and __15__ each other that problems between parents and children can be settled. 文章大意:本文是一篇说明文,阐述了父母与十几岁的孩子之间存在矛盾冲突及其原因,不同父母对此采取的不同方法,心理学家指出交流是解决矛盾的最好办法。

1.A.natural C.guilty

B.strong D.similar

答案:D 由下文not easy living with them (their parents) “孩子觉得与父母生活在一起不易”与上文difficult to live with teenagers“父母觉得与十几岁的孩子生活在一起很难”可知,孩子与父母有“相似的”感受。

2.A.interest C.link

B.argument D.knowledge

答案:B 由前两句可知父母与子女之间相处困难,再根据regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks关于不整洁和日常事情,对照各选项,只有argument(争吵)适合。

- 26 -

3.A.noisy C.messy

B.crowded D.locked

答案:C 由前句的untidiness和后面的clothes thrown on the floor可知,房间是messy凌乱不堪的。可将untidiness与messy看作是近义词复现。

4.A.homework C.problem

B.housework D.research

答案:B 由上文提到的收拾房间之类的事,应是housework家务活。 5.A.washing C.dropping

B.using D.replacing

答案:C 由后面的not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping可知,这里应是dropping the towel in the bathroom,一起为blame them的原因。而wash、use、replace虽然可以与the towel搭配,但与题意不符。

6.A.approaches C.introductions

B.contributions D.attitudes

答案:A 由下句的However, some approaches提示,可知这里是指“不同的父母对待这些问题有不同的‘方法’”。

7.A.complex C.scientific

B.popular D.successful

答案:D 从下面的例子可以看出,有的方法比别的方法有效更成功,用successful,成功的。而popular受欢迎的,受欢迎的方法解决问题不一定有效成功。

8.A.later C.seldom

B.deliberately D.thoroughly

答案:A 上文yell at their children对孩子大声叫喊, 下文由but连接表示转折,所以,应为later,“后来”又为他们清扫房间。

9.A.behavior C.future

B.taste D.nature

答案:A 改变孩子不爱整洁的“行为(behavior)”。 而taste口味,品味,爱好;nature自然,天性,皆不合题意。

10.A.failures C.consequences

B.changes D.thrills

答案:C 据下文所举的例子“不帮父母去买东西”“在冰箱里就找不到自己最喜欢的饮料”可知,这是让孩子“感受到自己的行为产生的‘后果’”,故选C项,consequence结果,后果。而failure失败;change变化;thrill刺激,惊险,皆不合题意。

11.A.defend

B.delay

- 27 -

C.repeat D.reconsider

答案:D 在有了上述经历之后,他们被迫“重新考虑”他们的行动。故选reconsider重新考虑。defend保卫,保护;delay耽搁;repeat重复,皆不合题意。

12.A.communication C.friendship

B.bond D.trust

答案:A 由下文中的Communication is a two-way process可知,此处填communication。 13.A.reply C.attach

B.attend D.talk

答案:D 由but可知,要选与lend an ear to(=listen to倾听)相对的talk。 14.A.hate C.frighten

B.scold D.stop

答案:B 由but可知,要选与understand (理解)相对的scold(责骂)。 15.A.loving C.understanding

B.observing D.praising

答案:C 此句是强调结构,是对前两句的总结,一句是说要lend an ear to(=listen to倾听),一句是说要understand (理解),所以总结为“只有通过倾听和相互理解,父母与孩子之间的问题才可得到解决”。

So the gesture is saying,“I __9__ you. Look, I'm not carrying a threatening weapon.” If you shake hands with someone, you __10__ that you trust them.

Greetings in Asian countries don't include __11__ the other person, but they always include the hands.
