Today’s world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence(毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence—which can be taught—are key to a child’s life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative”parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate level of autonomy(自主权).
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章指出,父亲在青少年成长过程中的人格塑造方面起着不可或缺的作用,并影响孩子的学业成绩。
1.A 推理判断题。由首段中的“a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers...fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.”可知,研究的特别之处在于它关注父亲在育儿中的作用。
2.D 推理判断题。由第四段中“an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed”可知,权威的父亲不仅让孩子感到温暖和爱,也会强调规则背后的责任和原因,D项正确。
3.A 推理判断题。由文章末段中“Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.”可知,未来的研究将会关注单亲父母在教授毅力的好处方面仍然可以发挥作用。
4.C 主旨大意题。本文是一篇科研报告类的说明文,文章第一段最后一句“Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.”就报告了研究结果,所以C项合理。
长难句 原句 A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.
分析 该句是一个主从复合句。that over time...为that引导的表语从句,raised by...为过去分词短语作后置定语修饰children,which 引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个主句的内容。
译文 一项关键的发现是,随着时间的推移,由权威的父亲养育的孩子明显更有可能培养出坚持不懈的精神,从而在学校取得更好的成绩。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文为记叙文。作者主要讲述了自己中学期间在烘焙厂兼职三天的工作经历。
1.C 根据第一段的内容可知作者在烘焙厂打工。设空处所在的定语从句的主语which指代Hough Bakeries,应该是制作(made)蛋糕的工厂。sell卖;order订购;reserve 预订。
2.A Hough Bakeries是制作蛋糕的工厂,它会把蛋糕提供给店铺(stores)。
3.D 根据后文得知“帮忙”发生在假期,所以应该是临时的(temporary)。generous 慷慨的;financial 财政的;technical 技术的。
4.A 后文提到作者除了听最喜欢的唱片没有别的计划(plans),所以才会去兼职。
5.B 因后文搭配的是wage,所以应该是赚钱,应选择B项。offer主动提供;set 设置;suggest建议,表明。
6.A 根据设空处所在宾语从句的主语a factory得知,作者想通过兼职了解一个工厂如何运转(worked)。close倒闭;develop 发展;survive 生存。
7.B 根据设空处所在句子的前半句可知,作者的父母是允许作者去兼职的,故应选择B项。ambition雄心;experience经验;invitation邀请。
8.C 去烘焙厂兼职,就要知道自己的工作内容是什么,此处表示“我们的任务(roles)很简单”。
解题关键 了解role的意思是解答本题的关键,role除了“角色”的意思外,还有“任务、作用、职能”的意思。
9.D 根据前后文得知作者进行完前面的工作最终要把兔子蛋糕从传送带上拿下来,应选择D项。
10.A 根据后文的描述可知,这项工作在做的时候要比听起来更困难(harder)。
11.B 前文描述的是制作蛋糕的部分环节,每一步都要跟上,慢(slow down)一点蛋糕就会堆积。calm down冷静;stay on留下来继续(学习、工作等);move on 继续前往。
12.C 根据前后文可知,工作比作者预料的压力更大一些,应选择C项。indicate指出;witness见证;remember记得。
13.B 根据后文的描述可知,爸爸对于作者去兼职是支持的,虽然比想象中难,但是这个经历很有意义,爸爸微笑(smiled)是对作者的鼓励。cry哭;hesitate犹豫;refuse 拒绝。
14.D 根据前文The son of a grocer可知,他要做的是为杂货店送货,应选择D项。taste品尝;find寻找;share分享。
15.D 根据文章主旨和并列连词and后面的respect可知,这段兼职经历是有意义的,对自己的劳动所得也会更感激(appreciate)。withdraw提取(存款);donate捐赠;receive收到。
解题思路 记叙文的尾段一般都是全文的总结和主题的升华,故选词的时候要与文章主旨相契合。
长难句 原句 My best friend Betsy’s father was a manager at Hough Bakeries, which, at Easter time, made little bunny cakes for all its stores throughout Cleveland.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。句子的主干是My best friend Betsy’s father was a manager at Hough Bakeries。which引导定语从句,修饰先行词Hough Bakeries,关系词在从句中作主语。
译文 我最好的朋友Betsy的父亲是Hough Bakeries的经理,这家工厂在复活节期间为它在克利夫兰的所有店铺制作小兔子蛋糕。
