8.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 14yearold daughter."She used to cuddle up(依偎) against 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 teenage 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.

解答 32---35 BCBC
32.答案B.细节理解题.从文章第一段suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents.可知他们的儿子跟他的朋友交流的更多了,而与父母交流少了,The door to his room is always shut意为"他的门经常是关着的".所以此处的意思是不愿和父母亲接触,故选B.
33.答案C.细节理解题.从第二段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."可知,他们弄不清楚何时要把她看成小女孩,何时要把她看成一个年轻的女士,故他们读不懂女儿的确切想法,故选C.
34.答案B.细节理解题.从最后一段parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say,可知此处的意思是青少年不想和父母亲谈话,故选B.
35.答案C.细节理解题.从最后一段Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend,not a manager,with their children is a better way to know them.可知父母亲应该和他们的孩子成为朋友,尽力去理解他们,故选C.
点评 细节题,顾名思义,就是指针对文章的某个细节而设置的试题.细节题的命题方法很多,如可能是对某个细节用同义结构转换后进行考查、也可能是将文章中的几个细节(通常是四个)放在一起要求考生判断是非(选出正确的一项或选出错误的一项)或对几个细节进行排序等.解答这类试题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干或选项中的线索词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案(此时要特别注意一些常见的同义转换).

We typically think of water as the liquid that flows from a tap.However,nearly all---92percent---of the water used by people goes into growing crops,according to water researcher Arjen Hoekstra at the university to Twente in the Netherlands.He and his team recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats.These products are shipped around the world.
Virtue water is immense.For example,consider a sugary soft drink.Hoekstra and his team estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170and 310liters of water.Only a tiny amount of that-about 1percent-is the water actually used in the soda.The vast majority of the water-about 95%-is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4percent goes into the packaging and labeling,said the scientists.In Hoekstra's calculation,when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad,it exports as much virtual water as would make a large refrigerator full of water.
According to Heokstra's new report,dry countries like Israel and Kuwait,both in the Middle East,get the majority of their virtual water from other countries,through imported products.More surprisingly,a few wetter countries,like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom,also get the majority of their virtual water from other places.That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.
In the United States,most of the virtual water used comes from American sources; only about 20percent of the virtual water comes from outside national boundaries.In China,even less of the water associated with its products-about 10percent-comes from foreign countries.
Tracing the water trade,Hoekstra and his team turned up other surprising relationships.For instance,often a dry region sends virtual water to a wetter region.Dry areas in northern China,for example,send virtual water to the southern part of that country,which is wetter.
Title:Virtual water
General introduction | ●Water flows downhill,and also travels (66)worldwide by means of import-export trade. ●The water used in all the processes (67)involved in producing goods and food is called virtual water. |
An example | ●Producing one half-liter of a sugary soft drink requires much water,(68)ranging from 170to 310liters. ●About 1percent of the water is used in the soda,while about 95percent is used for the (69)growth and processing of the ingredients. ●Another 4percent is used to (70)package and label the drink. ●The water used to produce and export a half-liter of soda could (71)fill a large refrigerator. |
The(72)Content(s ) of Hoekstra's new report | ●Dry countries as well as some wet countries get most of their virtual water from foreign countries by (73)importing products. ●China and the U.S.get virtual water (74)mostly/mainly from their own sources. ●Dry regions surprisingly (75)tend to send virtual water to wetter regions. |
