.阅读理解
No family is perfect—today or at any point in history. But some families get it right a lot more consistently than others. These families develop caring and understanding relationships. They work together,play together,and laugh together. They are united in purpose and in their commitment to one another.Family members support and encourage each other. Parents are devoted to the success of their marriage and family. In fact, these families create a loving family culture.
Other families are not so ideal. Members may neglect responsibilities,treat each other unkindly, reject and abandon promises,and engage in physically,emotionally or spiritually abusive behaviors. They may be manipulative (控制欲强的) and critical. Some members may abuse alcohol or other drugs. Family members who keep these destructive practices do so at great cost not only to themselves but to future generations as well.
Many people believe that those who grow up in a negative home environment will surely perpetuate the same patterns in their own families. To some extent, research supports these beliefs. For example, studies show a connection between child raising attitudes and behaviors among parents and those of their adult children.If a parent was divorced or less happy in his or her marriage, there is a greater tendency for children to follow suit.
The good news is that these findings tell only half the story. Other research shows that passing on negative family characters from generation to generation isn't a final conclusion. Even if you grew up in a damaging home environment, you can choose different behaviors than those you experienced there. You can stop the negative patterns from flowing downstream to future generations. With education,focused effort,and help from others,you can choose to be a transitional (过渡的) character to change your family culture.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们:家庭大致分为两类,一类是和睦的家庭,家庭成员之间关系融洽,相互体贴;而另外一类家庭的情况则完全相反,家庭成员之间相互批评指责,互相刁难。研究表明,在第二种家庭中长大的孩子将来组建自己的家庭时,可能还会像现在的家庭一样不和睦……
1.In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly________.
A.tells us that no family is perfect
B.describes two types of families
C.shows us how family members should behave
D.shows his attitudes towards different families
解析 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,第一段讲的是和睦的家庭,第二段讲的是不和睦的家庭,由此可知,B项正确,即前两段描述的是两类家庭。
答案 B
2.All the following are characteristics of unhappy families except________.
A.lack of sense of responsibility
B.abuse of alcohol or drugs
C.devotion to each other
D.dissatisfaction with each other
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二、三段可知,在第二类不和睦的家庭里,家庭成员之间互相批评和指责,很不和睦,不会为对方着想。由此可知,C项说法错误。
答案 C
3.The underlined word “perpetuate”in Paragraph 3 means________.
A.change
B.keep
C.destroy
D.protect
解析 词义猜测题。根据文章内容可知,生长在这种不和睦家庭中的孩子,将来组建自己的家庭时,可能还会保持同样不和睦的生活模式,并且一代代持续如此。由此可知,B项与该词意义相近。
答案 B
4.The author suggests that________.
A.we can do something to prevent the negative patterns passing on
B.we have to adjust ourselves to the negative patterns
C.it is rather difficult to get away from the negative patterns
D.it is not necessary to pay much attention to the negative patterns
解析 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,作者建议通过下一代的主观努力改变这种不好的家庭模式和风格,以全新的方式生活。由此可知,A项正确,即可以采取措施,阻止消极的生活方式。
答案 A
5.What do you suppose the author will discuss next?
A.The relationship between family members.
B.The importance of a happy family.
C.How to learn to be a good parent.
D.How to be a transitional character.
解析 文脉逻辑题。文章最后一段的大意是,通过下一代的努力,改变不好的家庭生活方式;而最后一句话说的是,生活在不和睦家庭中的成员可以采取措施,充当一个过渡性的角色来改变这一状况。由此可以推知,接下来作者应该谈论的是如何做好一个过渡性的角色。故D项正确。
