题目内容

A

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. 

In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the dilemma. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

1.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?

A.Both can continue for generations.

B.Both are about where to draw the line.

C.Neither has any clear winner.

D.Neither can be put to an end.

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

B.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.

C.The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.

D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.

3.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.

A.give orders to the other                  B.know more than the other

C.gain respect from the other               D.get the other to behave properly

4.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A.Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.

B.Examples of the parent-teen war.

C.Solutions for the parent-teen problems.

D.Future of the parent-teen relationship.

5.Where do you think this passage can be found?

A.In a report.                            B.In a letter.

C.In a novel.                             D.In a textbook.

试题分析:本文主要分析了父母和孩子之间的矛盾的三个原因。

1.B 细节题。根据文章第一段第二句Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?可知这两者的相似之处在于界限的问题。故B正确。

2.A 推理题。根据From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. 可知父母责备孩子是导致争吵的原因,孩子自然也认为父母是导致争吵的根源。故A正确。

3.C 细节题。根据文章最后一段Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect.可知这样的原因主要是因为双方都想得到尊敬。故C正确。

4.C 推理题。在最后一段中分析了主要的父母和孩子之间争吵的原因,接下来就压解释如何来解决这些问题了。故C正确。

5.D 推理题。本文讲述的是父母和孩子之间的矛盾的原因,不可能是新闻报告,信件和小说,最可能是家庭教育的书本里。故D项正确。

For many people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. One of the reasons people love it so much is that you get presents. But like presents, Christmas needs to be unwrapped so that you can understand the true meaning behind the day.
Many Chinese believe everyone in Western countries celebrate this holiday. That is not true. Christmas is an important religious holiday for Christians. December 25 represents the birthday of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God.
Christianity (基督教) is a very popular religion in America and Europe. However, there are many other religions, too. People who celebrate those religions don’t celebrate Christmas. But during the winter season they usually have their own important holiday. That is why when talking to a foreigner it is safer to say, “ Happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” because you never know his/her religious background.
The image of a fat, happy man in red---Santa Claus---has come to represent the idea of goodness and love instead of religious part or the “Christmas spirit”. Santa Claus is based on a man named Saint Nicholas who was a 4th century Greek Christian.
Saint Nicholas bought presents for children and gave them away anonymously(匿名地). This is where the idea of gift on Christmas began. But the Santa Claus didn’t exist until the 19th century when an American named Thomas Nast drew cartoons of him. So really, Santa has nothing to do with the religious holiday.
In fact, some people who celebrate Christmas don’t really care about Santa Claus.
Christmas is a special day for Christians but the ideas of being good and loving your neighbors are not limited to Christianity. So buy a gift for your friend, tell your mother you love her and have merry Christmas. I mean ,”Happy holidays!”

Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. We move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time.

For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible.

The word “friend ” can be applied to a wide range of relationships ---- to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant.

1.Many Americans move from place to place for the following reasons except______.

A. going to college                      B. getting a better job

C. finding a place to live in retirement       D. saving money

A. For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships.

B. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad.

C. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friendship.
