Question

【题目】You say you’re old enough to stay out late on weekends while they say you have to be home early.【1】You say you’ve met some nice kids and you’d like to go out with them, but they say they’d like to see your friends first.

When you’re a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to”, they will certainly answer “No, you can’t.” Also, no part of your life is safe from the “prying eyes” of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, what time I’m going to be home. Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything?【2】”

【3】When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents would allow their kids to choose for themselves.

【4】But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember the childish mistakes you used to make. They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so. And when something seems to threaten your well-being, they worry.

So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not just lie.【5】If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, “All the other kids can stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you’ll be and why it’s important for you to stay out later ..., they might just say yes.

A．Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat you like a small child.

B．No one likes being troubled.

C．Try a more friendly way.

D．They should give us more freedom.

E. Young people further complain that their parents do not respect them.

F. You say you want to see that new film while they say you can’t see it.

G. They are willing to give you advice on your friends.

【解析】试题分析:本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍了父母和孩子的代沟问题。孩子总觉得父母过于啰嗦，总觉得父母管得太多，而父母是害怕孩子受到伤害，渴望去保护他们，本文旨在告诫孩子们要学会与父母沟通，试着去理解他们的良苦用心而非叛逆。

【1】F 由本段是一段排比句，介绍了孩子与父母沟通的场景，折射出一些问题，都是以“you say”开头，故选F。

【2】D 由Debbie 的回答Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything?知她不满意父母的种种约束，她渴望“自由”，这也是她的内心独白，故选D。

【3】E 由后文Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents would allow their kids to choose for themselves.知孩子觉得父母总是不分情况的怪他们，很少有家长让孩子自由选择，此空是一个总领句，孩子们认为父母不尊重自己，故选E

【4】A 后面有一个关键词“but”可知but后面内容与此空相反，But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember the childish mistakes you used to make. They want to protect you，但是请记住不久前你就是一个孩子，他们记得你犯过的错，他们只是想保护你罢了，此空应该是尽管你的父母把你当小孩，故选A。

【5】C 由if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not just lie.知本段告诉我们要试着去理解父母，用正确的方式去沟通，而不是一味的骗他们，故选C。
