A
“Peg，do you think I can pull the rope？” The question was asked before we made marks on each of our cows.He had pulled the rope for years.He knew the answer before he asked，but he asked anyway.I answered，“Dad，I know you can’t pull it for all the cows，but for a few you will do great.You get out here and we will give it a chance.” Until the last moment on the cows，to be exact，there were three left，I finally saw him driving slowly down the hill.
As he approached，we stopped to wait for him.He drove over slowly，parked his car and got out with great difficulty.He made his way to the rope，not an easy task at 93.Tears were running down his face as well as mine.Dad’s tears weren’t tears of sadness for what he was no longer able to do，but tears of thankfulness that he was able to pull the rope for three cows.His last words when he left，“There，I worked，now I can eat！” That day，those three cows were just what he needed.
It was the last time my dad would pull the rope.At the age of 95 my dad changed his address from earth to heaven，a day he had longed for.He was such a diamond in my life.My dad passed on his love of birds and all farm animals to me.He used to be a brave World War Ⅰ pilot.He loved my mother，his family，his country，and his friends.The lessons he taught me are ones that will never be forgotten.I am grateful for the time and beautiful memories.
Miss you on the special day—Father’s Day，dad.

It is natural for young people to go after cool and good-looking young “idols(偶像)”．We spend a lot of time caring about them，even more time than we spend on our studies or work.We often wonder: What makes them so popular What could I do to be cool like them
Well，guess what Many of your idols are only made to “look” cool.If you could see into their personal lives，you would find these stars aren’t so bright.Their beauty is only skin-deep.Some of them might not be as honest，kind or hard-working as you are! They aren’t worth the popularity that they enjoy at all!
When I was a teenager，I，along with most of my classmates，had admired pop idols，too.Then，one day，I discovered Leonard Cohen and Neil Young.They were ordinary-looking people who played the guitar while sitting on a bench.They wore no flashy(奢华的) clothes，and they had no screaming fans.But their songs were great and meaningful.They told the truth: Life is hard and the road you take might sometimes be lonely.Most of all，they taught me that it was okay if I was not popular and cool all of the time.I still listen to them today.
Modern “idol culture” often sends the wrong message that life is always easy and fun.But the best actors，the best sports stars and the greatest scientists all have scars(伤疤) from the stress of dealing with many life difficulties.Many of the successful “outgoing” people we admire today were shy when they were teenagers.
Idols can serve as important role models in our lives，so it’s very important to choose the right ones.We should celebrate people who teach us important values that can help to guide us on the road ahead.The next time you see some popular “stars”，ask yourself: Do I really need these people in my life
5．What is the function of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph
A．To show the author’s opinion.
B．To interest readers in reading further.
C．To show the importance of the idol culture.
D．To serve as the topic sentence of the paragraph.
6．What’s the author’s attitude towards teenagers’ admiring idols
A．He understands it.
B．He is against it.
C．He supports it.
D．He is uninterested in it.
7．What can we infer from paragraph 3
A．All the teenagers admire pop stars.
B．Leonard and Neil are famous musicians.
C．Life is easy and fun for stars.
D．Being popular and cool is not necessarily important.
8．Which of the following ideas does the author agree with
A．Teenagers should be cool like stars.
B．Teenagers should say no to the wrong idols.
C．Role models should be chosen from idols.
D．Wrong messages are from idol culture.

An important lesson in the moral(道德的) education of children could be as close as the book in their hands.Stories matter.And they can play a role in building moral values in young audiences，according to the results of a new study.
Lindsay Hahn is the first author of the new study，which explores how media content(内容) influences children.Many studies done before have focused on wide concept(概念)，but Hahn’s study looks at how moral values might influence the kids’ values.Do children reading about particular moral characteristics take in those qualities and build their own morality？The findings suggest so.
“Parents，caregivers，and teachers are often wondering how media can be used for good，” says Hahn.“How can it be used for good things？How can it discourage bad habits？How can it educate？” Answering those questions begins with a better understanding of how to use media.“When parents are considering what media they might want to select for their children，they can deliberate what particular moral value is being stressed by the main character，and how the main character is treated because of those actions，” she says.
For the study，Hahn and her workmates took the main character from a young adult novel.They wrote the content to reflect the study’s focus on moral values.Those stories were shared with about 200 participants between the ages of 10 and 14.This is a favorable range for media research because it’s more difficult to introduce the understanding of stories to younger kids，while challenging to hold the attention of older teenagers，who become bored with basic storylines，according to Hahn.
9．What is the result of the new study
A．Stories should be spread more by media.
B．Children like reading books full of funny stories.
C．Children have learned an important lesson from stories.
D．Stories help children to develop their own moral values.
10．What does Hahn’s study focus on
A．How children deal with media content.
B．How children are exposed to modern society.
C．How media content influences children’s moral values.
D．How children should deal with the moral values in stories.
11．What does the underlined word “deliberate” mean in paragraph 3
A．Describe. B．Improve.
C．Title. D．Consider.
12．Which is the best title for the text
A．The Young Can Build Good Moral Values Easily
B．It Is Difficult for the Young to Understand Moral Values
C．Stories Play an Important Role in the Young’s Moral Values
D．Scientists Find More Ways to Help the Young Build Moral Values
Ⅱ.七选五
Many teens in high school want to try out for sports because they think it will make them popular. 1 Here are some reasons that you’ll find comforting.
With electronic products becoming more popular，it has become much easier for teens to be by themselves.Kids used to hang out(闲逛) around the town; now they just sit at home. 2 In this case，they’ll learn how to interact and work as a team—something they’ll find useful later in life.
3 Playing a team sport will help your teens get some exercise to lose weight or get into shape.What’s more，these days，it’s becoming harder to show your teens that you love and support them.A great way to do this is by showing up while they are playing games.You can also help them practice，and help with team fundraising(资金筹集)．These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them.
You may say “but my teen isn’t good enough to make their school team”． 4 There are plenty of other places besides school to play team sports.You can always check out other “for-fun” clubs.You could look into sports that you may not have thought of.If you do a little research，you’re sure to find something your teen will enjoy.
Sports are a great way for your teens to get out of the house，get moving，make friends，and even get a scholarship to college. 5
A．Take it easy.
B．Take your chance.
C．Sports help address teens’ overweight.
D．Then how can you develop a hobby in having sports
E．So why not talk to them about getting into sports today
F．However，there are other benefits your teens don’t realize.
G．Yet getting into a sport gives them a chance to go out and socialize(社交)．

Makai Simmons had his first day back at school on Monday in Pembroke Pines，Florida，after missing a week of school while he and his mom，Tekara Capron，were stuck in the Bahamas，a country to the southeast of Florida，because of Hurricane Dorian.
“As soon as he walked in，everyone just jumped up，” Capron said.“It was really moving.”
Capron and Makai had planned on traveling over the weekend to visit family in the Bahamas.When they left，they thought they were dodging a bullet because Dorian was on track to hit Florida.
By the time they were in the Bahamas，Dorian had become a Category 5 storm and was on track to ruin the island.Capron stayed put in the Bahamas with her son because leaving was too difficult and，even more so，because she wanted to stay with her family members through the hurricane.
Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas，with 183 mph winds causing great destruction(破坏) and killing at least 50 people.

Capron and Makai were able to board a ship back to the US on Friday evening.Capron said the joyful welcome Makai got at school was “something he needed，and I needed it too.”
She shared the video on the website，where it already has more than 11,000 views.Capron said her grandmother，still in the Bahamas，called her crying after watching the video of her great-grandson.“Right now，we’re seeing so many disasters，so to see the love that kids are showing is beautiful，” she said.“The rest of the world needed to see that too.”

Being a teenager can be hard，for you have to face a lot of difficult problems，but a new program called Nfusion is working hard to help teens with mental health needs.Nfusion gives teenagers classes where they study or discuss some troubling subjects.Drugs and bullying(欺凌) are just a few of the topics that are discussed during the class on Saturday.
“I had a bad attitude，” said 17-year-old Titeana Davis.Davis went through the Nfusion Program last year.The teen，who once had trouble with her attitude towards others，says the program has changed her life，“They taught me that a bad attitude is not going to get you anywhere.It doesn’t matter if other people treat you wrong；you still treat them how you want to be treated and it helped me a lot，” said Davis.
Nfusion is a new program that meets teens’ mental health needs and provides help for their families.The program is designed to help teens aged 14－21 live through a difficult period.“They’re still growing，still developing and still there are a lot of things they don’t know how to address.So this is a good program for them to be a part of，” said Lakicha Jernigan，who worked for the Nfusion Program.
Teens like Davis are just a few who have come through the program successfully.Now，thanks to Nfusion，Davis says she’s looking forward to a bright future.“After I graduate from college，I want to work at a primary school and I want to be a second-grade teacher，” added Davis.
Nfusion is a System of Care initiative(倡议) and is working with the Mississippi Transitional Outreach Project，a project of the Mississippi Department of Mental Health.The System of Care provides community-based services to help youth with serious mental health needs and their families.
1．What’s the purpose of Nfusion
A．To provide teens with some programs.
B．To help teens fight for a better career.
C．To help teens receive a good education.

Teenage Life Around the World
Asha
I’m from Tanzania.Like most teenagers，I start my day early and end it late.After school，I study at a night school to prepare for the university entrance exam.When I have time，I prefer to be outdoors in nature.What concerns me most is the upsetting way we treat the environment.Therefore，I volunteer to plant trees and I’m a member of our school’s Nature Club.
Samika
I’m 15.I wish I were a student，but I’m not.I had to leave school when I was 13 so that I could get a job and help my family.I work in a garment factory.It’s unbelievably hard work and the days are so long.Although everyone works hard，we still find time to play and laugh together.At times like these，the world feels like a wonderful place.
Frieder
I’m 16 and I go to a high school in Munich.I’m not crazy about school—listening to a teacher isn’t my thing—but I know I have to get an education.It’s very difficult for young people to find a job in Europe，so I worry a lot about the future.Oh，and I’m a gaming nerd.I love Internet games so much that I have started a gaming club at my school.
Joe
I’m a student from London.The online world is a big part of my life.I’ve been using the computer since I was a kid.I do various things online.Besides doing all my schoolwork，I chat with friends，play computer games，watch films，read the daily news and shop online.My parents are worried.They keep telling me to drag myself away from the online world.

Sometimes，when Mr Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about pop culture，he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom，‘Hey，the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it？’” says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.” Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits(轨道)．
Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as pop culture would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there，but there is a change happening，” says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and at more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now，” explains Mr Ballmer.
4．What does the underlined word “gulf” in the first paragraph mean
A．Difference. B．Argument.
C．Balance. D．Achievement.
5．What is the change in today’s parent-child relationship
A．There is less parent-child activities.
B．There is more respect for parents from children.
C．There is a new equality between parents and children.
D．There is more strictness and authority on the part of parents.
6．Which word best describes Kerrie’s attitude to the change of the parent-child relationship
A．Interested. B．Supportive.
C．Indifferent. D．Concerned.
7．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with.
B．To discuss the development of the parent-child relationship.
C．To suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship.
D．To solve the problem of the parent-child relationship.

I was recently in Door County Wisconsin，the land of cherries—a fruit sweet to taste and，for me sweeter to recall.The little fruit reminds me of a chat I had with my daughter Molly，now 19，about ten years ago on the summer shores of Lake Michigan.
Molly and I have much in common，including a lasting love of homemade pies.As I get aged，I’ve never changed the sense that freshly baked pies are the most delicious.My daughter agrees.
When she was younger，we would talk about pies before，while and after eating them.She made a special face and sign—one eye closed，fork waved twice in the air—whenever a tasty pie had been eaten up.So this chat wasn’t all that strange as we drove around Door County，a land of cherries that July day.
“Dad，” Molly asked from the back of our car，“Try to guess my two favorite pies.” I thought before answering，given the importance of the subject.
Pumpkin and Wisconsin cherry，I answered，looking at her through the rearview mirror(后视镜)．Our Lake Michigan location had given me the idea of my second guess and，I thought，her question.But that was not Molly’s answer.Her expression told me she was confused.But as quickly as the look came，it was replaced by a naughty smile.“OK，” she corrected，“Try to guess my three favorite pies.” Molly had changed her rankings(排序)，putting her original top two picks to second and third place.
Our brief chat stayed with me.Too often facts around me change，but my mind doesn’t.Unaffected by new information，I function like a navigation(导航) system that has missed a turn but won’t return.Since that summer day，when I sense myself behaving this way，I try to recall the “favorite pie” chat with my daughter and correct my course.

Raising teenagers can be both difficult and rewarding(有回报的)．They are becoming young adults.Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts(爆发) with their families during this period of life. 1 Here are some ideas that may create positive(积极的) experiences for teens and parents.
Have meals together.Mealtime is when we check in with each other. 2 Eating meals together offers a way for parents and kids to share what is on their minds.It brings families closer by creating trust and understanding to help guide children through the challenges of the teen years.
3 As teens develop their own sense of independence(独立)，it gets harder to find time to talk.Talk in the car together，when doing dishes together，or any time you have a chance.Remember that no matter how big their problems seem，what most teens want is love and support.Help them connect with their families and communities(社区)．During these years，help teens learn that their words and actions matter. 4 Others may find connection through spiritual communities or from having more responsibilities at home.Connecting with families and communities also helps keep teens safe from riskier activities.
Find time to have fun together! What do you both enjoy Playing chess Going to the ballet Volunteering in your community Take time to have fun and enjoy each other’s company.No one wants the attention of people they love to be focused only on what not to do.This is true for teenagers，too. 5

2．A [细节理解题。根据第二段的最后三句可知，Samika生活很艰难，但她很快乐。故选A。]
3．B [细节理解题。根据第三段中“I love Internet games so much that I have started a gaming club at my school.”和第四段中“The online world is a big part of my life.I’ve been using the computer since I was a kid.I do various things online.”可知，Frieder和Joe都痴迷于网络。故选B。]
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。作者通过实例引出了本文探讨的话题：与上代亲子关系相比较，现在的亲子关系更加和谐平等，并阐述了原因。
4．A [词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“‘There was just a complete gap in taste.’ Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，...”可推知，前几代的父辈与子女有代沟，具体表现在服装、发型、活动和期望等方面。由此可推知，音乐并不是唯一的分歧，gulf意为“区别，分歧”，故选A项。]
5．C [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句和最后一句以及第三段第一句中的“new equality”可知，当今的亲子关系中，代沟越来越小，父母和孩子之间有了信任，就像朋友一样，关系越来越平等，故选C项。]

8．D [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She made a special face and sign—one eye closed，fork waved twice in the air—whenever a tasty pie had been eaten up.”可知，每当莫莉在吃完美味的馅饼后会做出这些动作，这意味着她很喜欢这个馅饼。故选D。]

语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了牢固的亲子关系可以帮助青少年顺利度过叛逆期，并提出一些可以为青少年和父母创造积极体验的建议。
1．G [空格前一句提及了青少年的“叛逆期”，会与家人发生一些行为上的冲突。设空句应呼应话题，继续讲述叛逆期，且提及如何度过这一时期。选项G中的“hard times”呼应了话题“叛逆期”，并提出牢固的关系可以帮助青少年和他们的父母度过困难时期，且在逻辑上与前文构成转折。故选G。]
2．E [根据主旨句“Have meals together.”可知，该段的核心是“一起吃饭”，空后两句具体解释了家人一起吃饭对于青少年的重要性或者意义。选项E“这在繁忙的日程中可能很难做到，但这很重要”符合语境，且选项中“This”呼应前文，且“but”后的句子为后文的“总结”，与后文构成解释关系。故选E。]
3．A [设空句为该段主旨句。根据空后一句可知，随着青少年独立意识的发展，找时间交谈变得越来越困难，需找机会聊天。因此可知该段的核心为“与孩子聊天”。选项A“和你的孩子谈谈”贴合该段主旨。故选A。]
4．F [空格后一句提到了其他人的做法，可能通过心灵社区或在家里承担更多的责任而找到联系。因此，F选项中“Some”与“Others”相呼应，并与后文构成并列关系，且“this”与前文“their words and actions matter”相呼应。故选F。]
5．D [段落主旨句“Find time to have fun together！”提到了“共度欢乐时光”。空前两句提到了青少年也不喜欢自己所爱的人只关注不该做的事情。那么设空句应讲他们喜欢什么。选项D“一起放松能让他们感受到被爱和被重视”符合语境，选项中“Relaxing together”呼应本段主题，且此选项解释了青少年喜欢“被爱”和“被重视”。故选D。]
