12.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.Both feel trapped.
In this article,I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly appear between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.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.

25.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?B
A.Because both can continue for generations.
B.Because both are about where to draw the line.
C.Because neither has any clear winner.
D.because neither can be put to an end.
26.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2mean?A
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 scold their parents for misleading them.
D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
27.Parents and teens want to be right because they want toC.
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
28.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?C
A.Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
B.Examples of the parent-teen war.
C.Solutions to the parent-teen problems.
D.Future of the parent-teen relationship.

分析 本篇文章为议论文.家长和孩子之间的冲突没有最后的赢家.导致冲突的原因有三个:一是对一些诸如头发的颜色、房间的清洁、衣服的款式、不好好吃早餐以及睡懒觉等等这些鸡毛蒜皮的小事的争吵,二是互相指责,认为对方不好的态度是什么都乱套了的根本原因,三是都认为自己的观念点是对的,这样才能取得对方的尊重.

解答 25-28 BACC
25  B   推理判断题.由文章第一段中"the parent-teen war is about boundaries:Where is the line between what I control and what you do?"可知,家长与孩子之间的冲突好比两国之间的争端一样,主要就是要分出界线出来:我(家长)的控制线在哪儿?你(孩子)是不是没有越雷池半步?故选B.
26  A   推理判断题.文章的第二段Both sides want peace,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.说双方都希望相安无事,但是双方又觉得平息争端无能为力,原因是都不愿意承认是自己挑起了争端,家长认为孩子没有道理,孩子这一方也是一样.因此答案选A:孩子把争端的起始归咎于父母.
27  C   细节理解题.由文章最后一段的"both wish to be considered an authority--someone who actually knows something--and therefore to command respect."可知,双方都认为自己是对的,就是要对方觉得自己是权威的一方,这样对方就会尊重自己.故选C.
28  C   推理判断题.本篇文章第三段In this article,I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly appear between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.通过举例来说家长和孩子之间的冲突的一些现象和原因,接下来应该讲解决这些冲突的方法了.故选C.

3.The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital.She is quiet but alert (警觉).Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it.She stares at it carefully.A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another,this time with the spots differently spaced.As the cards change from one to the other,her gaze(凝视) starts to lose its focus-until a third,with three black spots,is presented.Her gaze returns:she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card.Can she tell that the number two is different from three,just 24 hours after coming into the world?
     Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?The same experiment,but with three spots shown before two,shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes.Perhaps it is just the newness?When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb,a key,an orange and so on),changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves.Could it be the pattern that two things make,as opposed to three?No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three,or three to two.The effect even crosses between senses.Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.
32.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby'sA.
A.sense of sight                         
B.sense of hearing

33.Babies are sensitive to the change inD.
A.the size of cards                                     
B.the color of pictures
C.the shape of patterns                              
D.the number of objects
34.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A
A.To carry their experiment further.
B.To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.
C.To see how babies recognize sounds.
D.To keep the babies'interest.
35.Where does this text probably come from?C
A.Science fiction.
B.Children's literature.
C.A science report.
D.An advertisement.
3.In Britain and other countries,young people usually take a"gap year",a year off between high school and college.This idea never gained a big following in the United States.Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing,though there are no official numbers.
Charles Deacon,the dean of admissions estimates that in the current first-year class of one thousand six hundred students,only twenty-five percent decided to take a year off.He says this number has not changed much over the years.He says the most common reasons to have a chance to travel,but international students may take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military duty.
Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education.But it can also give students a chance to explore their interest.
Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission.Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy.The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called"Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation".It praises the idea of taking time off to step back,think and enjoy gaining life experience outside the pressure of studies.Of course,a gap year is not for everyone.Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college.And parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off.Another concern is money.A year off,away from home,can be costly.
Holly Bull is the president of the Center for Interim Programs.Her company specializes in helping students plan their gap year.She notes that several books have been written about this subject.And she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.
 
81.How do many colleges and universities support gap-year projects?(No more than 8 words)By permitting students to delay their admission.
82.According to Charles Deacon,how many students in the current first-year class of his school decided to take a gap year?(No more than 8 words)About 400/25 percent of students decided to take a gap year.
83.What is the purpose of some high school students taking a gap year?( No more than 6 words)To recover and explore their interest.
84.Why do parents worry about children's gap year?(No more than 15 words)Because it may cost much money and make children not go to college./
Because they are worried about high costs and children's decision not to go to college..
