Question

【题目】 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 t【1】 to his parents. "The door to his room is always c【2】, "Joanna noted.

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She u【3】 to cuddle up(依偎)in the sofa and talk, "said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this o【4】 when she wants something, Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young l【5】. The problem is figuring out which time is which. "

Before age 11, children like to tell their parents w【6】 is on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list, "said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents Wi Tenagers. "This completely changes during the ten years, "Riera e【7】"They talk to their friends first, then maybe the teachers, and their parents 1【8】. "

Parents who know what's going in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.

To break down the wall of silence, parents should create more c【9】 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, t【10】 they are 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.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述双亲总是认为他们和孩子关系很好，但实际上孩子11岁前喜欢把自己的想法告诉父母，从那以后先是和朋友说，老师说，最后才是家长。要想改变这种情况，父母应该作为他们的朋友去了解他们，而不是作为管理者，监护人的身份去看管约束他们。

【1】

句意：突然,他似乎更喜欢谈论他的朋友比他的父母。

根据“far more”可知此处在把“to his friends”和“to his parents ”做比较，此处用than。故答案为than。

【2】

句意：他的房间的门总是关着的。

此处用动词的一般现在时的被动，表示“门被关着”，用closed。故答案为closed。

【3】

句意：她以前常和我依偎在沙发上聊天。

根据“Now we joke”可知此处表示的是过去经常发生的动作，现在发生了变化，此处用used to do。故答案为used。

【4】

句意：现在我们开玩笑说仅仅当她想要什么东西的时候 才会这样做。

根据“when she wants something”以及首字母提示，可知此处用only表示“只是，仅仅”。故答案为only。

【5】

句意：有时她想被当作一个小女孩,有时像一个年轻的女士。

形容词young后面用名词。根据“wants to be treated like a little girl”，“The problem is figuring out which time is which”
可知她有时想被当作一个小女孩，有时情况不一样，根据首字母提示可知此处用名词lady，表示“有时像一个年轻的女士”。故答案为lady。

【6】

句意：11岁之前,孩子们喜欢告诉他们的父母他们的想法是什么。

“tell their parents”后面是宾语从句，此处用what引导从句，在从句中what做主语表达“什么”。故答案为what。

【7】

句意：里埃拉解释说：“这一点在十年间发生了完全的变化，首先他们跟他们的朋友谈话,其次是他们的老师,最后是他们的父母。”

此处缺谓语动词，根据前文“said”可知此处用一般过去时态；根据“They talk to their friends fist, then maybe the teachers, and…”可知此处在做解释说明，根据首字母提示用动词explained。故答案为explained。

【8】

句意：首先他们跟他们的朋友谈话,其次是他们的老师,最后是他们的父母。

根据“talk to their friends first, then maybe the teachers”可知这里有顺序“首先他们跟他们的朋友谈话,其次是他们的老师”，此处用last表示“最后是他们的父母”。故答案为last。

【9】

句意：打破沉默之墙,父母应该创造机会了解孩子想说什么，试着找到和他们谈话和写信的方式。

动词create后面缺名词，根据“understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them”及首字母可判断此处用名词chances表示“机会”。故答案为chances。

【10】

句意：而且他们必须给他们的孩子心理上的休息，因为孩子们需要自由，尽管他们还很年轻。

根据“they are young”可知此处表示让步，此处用连词though表示“尽管”。故答案为though。
