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.

一、单句填空
1.taken 句意:听到他们安然无恙的消息,我如释重负。考查过去分词作宾语补足语。take off意为“去掉”,take sth.off one’s mind去掉某人的……的心事。
2.that 句意:依我看,李娜2017年不可能赢得网球比赛。考查固定句式。there is no possibility that...不可能……。其中,that引导同位语从句。
3.terrifying 句意:“这是我一生中最可怕的经历,”他说,“甚至连想想这一经历都很吓人”。 考查形容词。设空处用terrifying作定语,意为“吓人的,可怕的”。
4.had been completed 句意:到去年年底,另一座新体育馆在北京已建完。考查过去完成时的被动语态。主语gymnasium和动词complete之间为被动关系,又由By the end of last year可知,应用过去完成时的被动语态。
5.on 答句句意:哦,我的收入相当多变,但是平均每天我可以挣100块钱。考查介词短语。on average平均。
6.was doing 句意:——我不理解昨天下午你为什么没有去听演讲。——非常抱歉。但那时我正在做作业。考查动词时态。根据对话的语境和题干中的时间状语yesterday afternoon可知空格处的动作在过去某个时间正在发生。
7.Thankfully 句意:谢天谢地,我设法打完了比赛,最终所有的辛苦是都值得的。考查副词。根据语境可知,此处应该用副词修饰后面整个句子。
8.buried 句意:——玛丽总是在埋头读书、学习。——怪不得她在任何的考试中总是第一名呢。考查固定搭配。be buried in埋头于……中,全身心投入到……中。
9.hopefully 句意:董事会成员现在正在讨论这个问题,这个问题有望在下周末前被解决。考查副词。此处应该用副词来修饰have been solved,hopefully充满希望地,抱有希望地。
10.above 句意:我想买一座房子,房子要现代、坚固和舒适,其中最为重要的是房子要位于一个安静的街区内。 考查介词短语。above all最重要的是。
二、语法填空
[语篇解读] 两个人谈论去乡村旅游的经历及感慨。
1.enjoyed 考查动词时态。根据上文how was…可推断出要用一般过去时态。
2.a 考查冠词。根据下文的提示可知用不定冠词。
3.But 考查连词。前后句子之间为转折关系,故用but。
4.be eaten 考查语态。foods与 eat之间是被动关系又因情态动词后应用动词原形,因此用be eaten。
5.else 考查副词。依据后面的句子意思可知:他们与村民和睦相处,并送给贫困学生笔和书。即他们除了观景品尝美食之外,还做了其他的事情。
6.must 考查情态动词。表推断,“一定会,肯定会”,用must 语气最强。
7.far 考查固定搭配。far from enough 远远不够。
8.are planning 考查时态。根据下文中的be going to 结构可知,此处要用现在进行时态。即我们中许多去过的人正计划给予孩子们更多的帮助。
9.them 考查代词。指代前面的a number of books,故用them。
10.completely 考查副词。用副词修饰形容词willing。
三、完形填空
[语篇解读] 本文为夹叙夹议文,题材为社会生活类。心理学家们针对一种社会现象——父母与孩子因日常琐事争吵,进行了一项研究,研究结果表明父母与孩子之间只有通过倾听和相互理解,存在的问题才能得以解决。
1.D 由文章内容可知,孩子和父母一样也有类似的想法。故选similar。其他选项均不符合句意。
2.B 由后文的“一方面,对于脏乱的房间和扔在地上的衣服,父母们都要发疯了”可知,父母和孩子之间最常见的争论是有关整洁和日常琐事的。故设空处填argument。
3.C 由“扔在地上的衣服”可知,设空处用messy与rooms连用表示杂乱的房间。
4.B 根据设空前罗列的孩子的各种让家长不满意的行为可知,设空处需要填另外一个与之相关的让家长不满意的习惯,即“孩子们拒绝做家务”。故用housework。
5.C 由设空后的两个坏习惯可知,父母指责孩子在浴室中乱丢毛巾也使孩子们渐渐失去耐心。故选C项。
6.A 由下文的“However,some approaches are more...”可知St.George University所作的研究表明对待这些问题不同的父母有不同的方法,故用approaches。
7.D 然而,一些方法比其他的方法更有成效,故选D。
8.A 此处指那些父母因孩子的不整洁冲孩子们吼叫之后,又给他们打扫房间。故用later。
9.A 因为脏乱而对孩子大喊大叫然后又帮孩子打扫房间的父母是没有什么机会改变孩子的行为的。根据后文出现的actions可知设空处与之同义,用behavior。
10.C 相反,那些让孩子体验自己行为所带来的后果(consequences)的父母做得就比较好。
11.D 他们(孩子们)被迫重新考虑(reconsider)自己的行为。
12.A 由后文出现的Communication可知,设空处表达的是:心理学家说在父母和孩子之间最重要的是交流。故选A。
13.D 父母应该与孩子交谈,但同时也应该倾听孩子的心声。talk to符合文意。
14.B 此处照应第一段的“...when parents blame them for...”,指父母会因不整洁而责骂孩子。故用scold。
15.C 通读全文可知父母和孩子之间的问题只有通过彼此倾听和相互理解才能被解决。故用understanding。
四、短文改错
1.第一句中的why改为how 考查宾语从句。后面介绍了五种学习英语写作的方法,故可以判断这里的意思是“我想告诉你们如何学习英语写作”,因此用how。
2.第二句中的recited改为recite 考查时态。根据时间状语often可知,这里应该用一般现在时,所以用recite。
3.第二句中which前的in去掉 考查定语从句。which引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中充当主语,所以in多余。
4.第三句中的wide改为widely 考查副词。用widely修饰动词read表示“广泛地阅读”,而wide作副词时,表示空间上的距离。
5.第三句中的material改为materials 考查名词。material为可数名词,根据前面的many判断,该名词应该用复数。
6.第四句中的understand改为understood 考查非谓语动词。make oneself understood“使别人明白自己的意思”,myself与understand之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词。
7.第四句中的or改为and 考查行文逻辑。learn some grammar rules,listen to the radio和practice speaking English a lot并列,不存在选择关系。
8.第五句中的keep后加a 考查固定短语。keep a diary“写日记”,为固定短语。
9.第五句中的write改为writing 考查非谓语动词。by为介词,后面接动词-ing形式。
10.第六句中的other’s改为others’ 考查代词。others“其他人”,因此表示“其他人的”应该用others’。
