This is my son Matthew’s last night at home before college. I know that this is good news. I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school. I know that this is his finest hour. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can’t stop crying.
Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment. “Pull yourself together!” I tell myself. There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones. How dare I feel so shocked and upset
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen. Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my parents’ divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday came around, I was unable to enjoy the day’s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now, standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions, I realise it’s me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favourite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don’t think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. I’ll never have to worry about that again, I realise.
For his part, Matthew has been a rock. He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office. And I’m glad. After all, someone’s got to be strong. I’m proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.

We all know the feeling — you want to check what someone you care about has been up to on social media (社交媒体), and suddenly you find you are refused. It’s the start of mixed feelings — when did this happen Did I do anything wrong What are they trying to hide from me
And that’s what half of Chinese parents have to deal with when they try to browse (浏览) their children’s WeChat Moments, also known as “Friends’ Circle”. According to a survey by Tencent, about 52 percent of WeChat users aged 18 to 29 block their parents on Moments. The young interviewees said that parents “are worried about everything”, along with reasons such as fear of parents’ disagreement, avoiding parents’ nagging (唠叨), and protecting their private life. Xie Yun, a 26-year-old, said that while she didn’t block her parents completely, they were in a specific group with which she only shared positive posts. “I don’t want my parents to see failures in my life,” she said. Once her parents saw a Moments picture of her hand getting burned while cooking, and they traveled all the way to her city to make sure she was all right.
The report also found that more than 49 percent of Chinese parents use WeChat as a main tool to communicate with their children. Roughly 36 percent of the parents who took the survey said they checked every post made by their children. When asked how they would respond to being blocked, some parents said they would start a conversation with their children to find out the reason, while others said they wouldn’t care. And some parents just were shrewder than their kids in this hide-and-seek game online. “I didn’t realize I was blocked until I compared what I could see on my phone to what my son’s aunt could see,” said Chen, a mother of a 27-year-old son. “I chose to remain silent on this and now I’m following my son’s posts through his aunt.”
8. What causes mixed feelings according to paragraph 1
A. Stress from being controlled.
B. Being turned down on social media.
C. Checking social media frequently.
D. Anxiety about the safety on social media.
9. What can we know about Xie Yun’s WeChat Moments
A. It didn’t have pictures.
B. It only had positive posts.
C. It was set to be seen by herself.
D. It was open to her parents partly.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph about Chinese parents
A. Most parents only use WeChat to communicate with their children.
B. Only a very small number of parents check every post made by their children.
C. All parents wouldn’t care even if they are blocked by their children on Moments.
D. Some parents are smarter than their kids in this hide-and-seek game online.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Tough parent-child communication on WeChat.
B. Changes on the current parent-child relationship.
C. Arguments about whether to block parents.
D. Ways to avoid being blocked on WeChat.

In the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger style may do more harm than good. Authoritarian (专制的) parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent (暴力的) behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust.
It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding (难满足的) and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children’s needs. Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids. Permissive (纵容的) parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.
Using data on nearly 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find “my way or the highway” parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug-taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing. Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissive parenting, surprisingly, didn’t seem to make much of a difference either.
To explain the link between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents’ power is. This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don’t always like how their parents are treating them. When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self-control and independence.
“When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust their parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do,” said lead researcher Pick Trinkner. “This is very important as the parent doesn’t have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.”
12. Tiger Moms and French Mamas are mentioned in the first paragraph to _____________.
A. give an example of authoritarian parenting
B. show the advantage of parenting
C. compare two types of parenting
D. introduce the topic
13. According to the research, what kind of parenting style is likely to cause children’s criminal behaviors
A. Caring parenting. B. Permissive parenting.
C. Authoritarian parenting. D. Authoritative parenting.
14. Which of the following probably belongs to the action of the permissive parents
A. Allowing the kids to stay up late at weekends as the kids like.
B. Beating the kids if the kids don’t follow their instructions.
C. Refusing to listen to the kid’s requests and demands.
D. Setting some rules and checking the kids’ behaviors.
15. According to the passage, children are more likely to obey the rules when _____________.
A. their parents listen to them totally
B. they believe in and accept their parents
C. their parents are sensitive to their needs
D. their parents demand and control their behaviors
五、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Children should spend at least one hour playing and spending time in nature each day, according to the Wildlife Trusts (野生生物基金会). The UK organization speaks for 46 groups and 2,300 nature protection areas. 1
The calling comes from a study by University College London. Its 451 students in the study were 8 or 9 years of age. 2 The activities were run by the Wildlife Trusts over the course of several weeks, such as learning about plants and trees.
3 And they also showed a sense of connection with the natural world and high levels of enjoyment. 90 percent said they learned something new about the natural world; 79 percent felt the experience would help their schoolwork; 4 Perhaps most importantly, 79 percent mentioned they would believe more in themselves.
However, parents on their own aren’t giving kids that time. 5 A 2017 report found that less than 10 percent British kids enjoy themselves in nature, compared to 40 percent of adults when they were younger years ago. To improve the situation, the organization is calling on the government to free up a daily hour for nature time for kids.
A. Parents care much about their kids’ nature time.
B. And the time has been reducing greatly in recent years.
C. The children showed a great increase in personal health.
D. They were interviewed before and after nature activities.
E. 81 percent said they had better relationships with their teachers.
F. The students are asked to study in University College London for one day.

As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimes looked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to 1 out at home with even the simplest things.
Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother 2 me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of
3 . Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back,
4 for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very 5 to help her bring the groceries into the house. But I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the rest for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.
Don’t get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt 6 about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my 7 . But I also realised that once I did change, there would be no going back. Once I took on more responsibility, my parents would start 8 more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would mark something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more 9 caring and giving young man.
I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) 10 to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the lesson I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning 11 . Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and
12 back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!
Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the 13 I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realised they could 14 me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest 15 out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day.
1. A. start B. cry C. help D. work
2. A. sent B. guided C. walked D. drove
3. A. fruits B. flowers C. groceries D. vegetables
4. A. fought B. paid C. applied D. planned
5. A. grateful B. nervous C. confident D. unwilling
6. A. excited B. curious C. doubtful D. guilty
7. A. way B. world C. career D. shape
8. A. warning B. reminding C. expecting D. informing
9. A. energetic B. ambitious C. outgoing D. responsible
10. A. excuse B. decision C. statement D. appointment
11. A. shame B. anger C. delight D. pleasure
12. A. called B. looked C. headed D. handed
13. A. smarter B. better C. warmer D. stronger
14. A. live on B. press on C. focus on D. count on
15. A. make B. turn C. point D. bring

15. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust their parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do…”和“This is very important as the parent doesn’t have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.”可知,当孩子认为他们的父母是可靠的人时,他们信任他们的父母,并觉得他们有责任做父母告诉他们做的事情。这一点非常重要,因为父母不必依靠奖励和惩罚系统来控制行为,当父母不在场时,孩子更有可能遵守规则。由此可以推出:孩子们相信与接受父母,会更可能遵守规则。故选B。

Dear Tom,
I’ve received your letter in which you said you often argue with your parents. I understand your feelings. Don’t be upset. I’ll give you some advice.
Firstly, you should communicate with your parents and ask for their advice before you take certain action. If you disagree with them, all you need to do is stay calm and consider it carefully. Only by doing these will your family bond be much stronger than ever before.
Once you follow these steps, I’m sure that it will be easy for you to get along well with your parents. I wish you all the best.
Yours,
Li Hua
