Ⅱ.阅读理解
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer，Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents.“The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter.“She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk，” said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11，children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds.“In fact，parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera，author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first，then maybe their teachers，and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence，parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say，and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental break，for children also need freedom，though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend，not a manager，with their children is a better way to know them.
16．“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son________.
A．is always busy with his studies
B．doesn’t want to be disturbed
C．keeps himself away from his parents
D．begins to dislike his parents
17．What troubles Tina and Mark most is that ________.
A．their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B．they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly
C．they don’t know what to say to their daughter
D．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
18．Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?
A．Teenagers talk a lot with their parents
B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents
C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents
D．Teenagers talk a little about their own lives
19．What can be learned from the passage?
A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.

Studying Abroad
Nowadays，studying abroad gains popularity in China.Many rich parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than let them be educated in China.
As every coin has two sides，studying abroad is not an exception.There are advantages for people to attend schools abroad.In the first place，he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved，as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve second language than living in the country where it is spoken.While studying in a foreign country，he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world.This is not only exciting on the social level，but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well.He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the first-rate facilities available.In this way，there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizon (眼界) and broaden his mind.
Of course，attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems.The most serious problem is language barrier.Most of the students who go abroad don’t have enough skills in the language spoken there.As a result，on arriving there，they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say.Besides，for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people，they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.
Therefore，given an opportunity to attend a school abroad，one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.

课时作业(二)
Ⅰ.1.B 第一空表示“让你负责房间”用in charge of；第二空in a mess为固定搭配。
2．A 考查非谓语动词。非谓语动词作状语其逻辑主语是句子的主语，根据句意可判断逻辑主语none of them与非谓语动词是被动关系，即：none of them were left wondering…，转为主动形式加以分析理解为：(somebody) left them wondering…。leave此处意为“使某人处于某状态”，常用的表达结构为：leave sb./sth.doing sth.。
3．D 考查短语。be hard on对……苛刻；mean to do sth.打算做某事，想要做某事。根据语境应选D。
4．C 第一空根据语境用过去完成时；第二空为insist on doing结构。
5．A 空白处之后跟“名词＋不定式”，是一个复合结构，选with，构成with复合结构，作状语。
6．B 选项中的which为关系代词引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词invention，故which应置于从句前面；I suppose为插入语。
7．A 分析句型是解答此题的关键。其句子结构为：you would like to have whom repair the MP4 player，故选A。
8．B 句意：他们谈话就好像他们是多年的朋友似的。故选B。
9．B 考查代词＋介词＋关系代词的用法。句意：这对老夫妇有三个女儿，她们全都毕业于同一所大学。由于是三位女儿，故答案C、D中的neither不符；由于是代词＋介词＋关系代词引导的定语从句，故用whom，既指代daughters，又作of的宾语，故选B项。
10．A 考查定语从句和表语从句。句意：这孩子喜欢撒谎的原因是他从小没得到好的关照。reason后是一个用why引导的定语从句，其后的表语从句应该用that来引导，故选A项。
11．A do with与what连用；leave sb.in charge of让某人负责，这里是被动结构。
12．B 考查交际用语。句意：——我想和史密斯医生预约。明天上午9点可以吗？——恐怕不行。明天上午她的日程已满。Yes，she’s free then可以，她那时有空。I’m afraid not恐怕不能； You must be joking你一定在开玩笑；Well，it depends视情况而定。
13．C 考查代词。句意为“买一张然后完全免费送一张”，one泛指任意一张CD。
14．C 考查名词辨析。句意：根据专家所说，首选靠近商店和学校区域的房子可以抵制房价的下滑。access to接近。convenience便利；value价值。
15．B 考查冠词。the beauty of nature特指“大自然的美”，因此beauty前要加the。nature作“大自然，自然界”讲时为抽象名词，前面不加任何冠词。
.16.C 句意理解题。根据第一段第二句“…he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents”及下文可知十几岁的孩子同朋友谈心要比同父母多，父母往往是最后一个知道孩子心事的人。因此文中的“The door to his room is always shut”一句不能照字面意义理解(通向他房间的门总是关着)，而应照隐含义理解，即孩子从心理上远离父母，故选C。
17．B 细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter.”可知Tina and Mark也注意到女儿的变化，即不能知道女儿的心事。故选B。
18．C 句意理解题。根据全篇文章内容可知十几岁的孩子很少同父母交流是问题关键，要解决这一问题，父母必须创造机会同孩子多谈心。因此“the wall of silence”指的是“十几岁的孩子同父母不多谈心”，故选C。
19．D 推理判断题。由最后一段建议父母要解决“十几岁的孩子同父母不多谈心”这一问题，父母应该创造机会理解孩子，找到方法同孩子交谈，同孩子写信交流思想，另外要做孩子的朋友。从这一段意来看应选D。
.20.popular 21.best 22.daily 23.overseas/abroad
24．know/learn 25.Disadvantages/Problems 26.skilled
