（B）七选五
Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts from getting in the way of everyone's happiness. But at times it seems difficult. 1 Here are some concrete steps to make
your life more enjoyable.
Do household chores (杂务) together. 2 However, sharing household responsibilities can help
everyone in your family feel happy. Try to make it as fun as possible, such as by playing music or having contests.
Besides, divide chores up into age-appropriate categories. After dinner, the youngest could wipe the table, the
oldest could fill the dishwasher, and you could put away leftovers.
3 When someone expresses an opinion, don't interrupt them before they can finish speaking.
Maintaining respectful communication channels will strengthen your bond.
Express love and appreciation frequently. Little verbal (口头的) and nonverbal gestures of affection go a long
way. 4 If your sibling is doing their homework and there's an empty glass on their desk, ask them, "Hey,
can I get you more water "
Respect your parents' need to protect you. While children need increasing degrees of freedom as they get older,
remember that your parents are in charge. Their job is to keep you safe and give you the tools you'll need to take
care of yourself when you' re an adult. If your parent doesn't allow you to go out without an adult or makes you go
to bed early, remember that they have your best interests in mind. 5 A ．Why do you feel so
B ．Where do you start
C ．Few people actually enjoy that.
D ．Chores mean more responsibilities.
E ．Respect what your family members say.
F ．Don't yell to get your way if they say no!
G ．Find small ways to show you care for each other.
（C）阅读理解
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 arise 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.
1 ．Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict
A ．Both are about where to draw the line.
B ．Both can continue for generations.
C ．Neither has any clear winner.
D ．Neither can be put to an end.
2 ．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean
A ．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
B ．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C ．The teens cause their parents of misleading them.
D ．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
3 ．Parents and teens want to be right because they want to .
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
4 ．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A ．Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
B ．Examples of the parent-teen war.
C ．Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
D ．Future of the parent-teen relationship.
（D）语法填空
Most of my friends have never been to China. I have been lucky enough to make at least thirteen trips there,
some on business, others for 1 (please). When in China, I had the opportunity to eat in a lot of different
restaurants, 2 (range) from the large and fancy to the small and pedestrian. 3 I really miss, and can’t
get here in Canada is the Chinese street food.
Years ago, while working in Beijing, my route to the office took me though a hutong and I always passed a man making food on a cutting board. The man had a large bowl of white dough from which he would break off a piece that he rolled into a ball a little 4 (large) than a golf ball. This he then flattened into a “waffle” about
ten centimeters across and went on 5 (cook) on the hot top of an oil barrel, turning the “waffle” 6
constantly. An egg, sometimes two, would be spread over this together with 7 (chop) onions and some sort of spices. The whole thing 8 (serve)in a paper wrapper. I would take two of these, brew a cup of coffee and
have an 9 (absolute) delicious breakfast.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I will ever again have the privilege of travelling to China 10 the street food
treats will have to live on only in my memory.话题二 个人与家庭生活

（B）七选五
Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts from getting in the way of everyone's happiness. But at times it seems difficult. 1 Here are some concrete steps to make
your life more enjoyable.
Do household chores (杂务) together. 2 However, sharing household responsibilities can help
everyone in your family feel happy. Try to make it as fun as possible, such as by playing music or having contests.
Besides, divide chores up into age-appropriate categories. After dinner, the youngest could wipe the table, the
oldest could fill the dishwasher, and you could put away leftovers.
3 When someone expresses an opinion, don't interrupt them before they can finish speaking.
Maintaining respectful communication channels will strengthen your bond.
Express love and appreciation frequently. Little verbal (口头的) and nonverbal gestures of affection go a long
way. 4 If your sibling is doing their homework and there's an empty glass on their desk, ask them, "Hey,
can I get you more water "
Respect your parents' need to protect you. While children need increasing degrees of freedom as they get older,
remember that your parents are in charge. Their job is to keep you safe and give you the tools you'll need to take
care of yourself when you' re an adult. If your parent doesn't allow you to go out without an adult or makes you go
to bed early, remember that they have your best interests in mind. 5 A ．Why do you feel so
B ．Where do you start
C ．Few people actually enjoy that.
D ．Chores mean more responsibilities.
E ．Respect what your family members say.
F ．Don't yell to get your way if they say no!
G ．Find small ways to show you care for each other.
答案： 1 ．B 2 ．C 3 ．E 4 ．G 5 ．F
【解析】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了让家庭生活更好的方法。
1．前文“But at times it seems difficult.”说的是提升家庭生活比较难， 后文“Here are some concrete steps to make your life more enjoyable.”总领全文给出方法，可见题干是设问性质的， B 项“你该从哪里开始？ ”符合语境。
故选 B 项。
2 ．根据空后一句“However, sharing household responsibilities can help everyone in your family feel happy.”可知， 分担家庭责任可以让你家里的每个人都感到快乐，与空处是转折关系，由此可推知， C 项“很少有人真的喜
欢做家务”符合语境，即很少有人喜欢做家务，但是共同参与的责任感就能提升幸福感。故选 C 项。
3 ．空处是段落主题句，下文“When someone expresses an opinion, don't interrupt them before they can finish
speaking. Maintaining respectful communication channels will strengthen your bond.(当有人表达意见时， 不要在 他们说完之前打断他们。保持相互尊重的沟通渠道会加强你们之间的联系。)”说的是不要打断家庭成员说的
话，要尊重。 E 项“尊重家庭成员说的话”符合语境。故选 E 项。
4 ．根据本段主题句“Express love and appreciation frequently.”可知，要经常性地展现自己对家庭成员的关心，
后文“If your sibling is doing their homework and there's an empty glass on their desk, ask them, "Hey, can I get you
more water "(如果你的兄弟姐妹正在做作业，而他们的桌子上有一个空杯子，你可以问他们， “ 嘿，我给你 再拿点水吗 ”)”给出了一个具体的示例，所以 G 项“从小事上表达你们对彼此的关心。 ”符合语境。故选 G
项。
5．前文“If your parent doesn't allow you to go out without an adult or makes you go to bed early, remember that they have your best interests in mind.(如果你的父母不允许你在没有大人陪伴的情况下外出或让你早点睡觉，记住 他们是为你着想的。)”表达的是父母无论做什么， 出发点是好的， 因此当他们不许某些活动的时候， 不要对
父母大叫。 F 项“如果他们说不，你不要大喊大叫”符合语境。故选 F 项。
（C）阅读理解
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 arise 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.
1 ．Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict
A ．Both are about where to draw the line.
B ．Both can continue for generations.
C ．Neither has any clear winner.
D ．Neither can be put to an end.
2 ．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean
A ．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
B ．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C ．The teens cause their parents of misleading them.
D ．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
3 ．Parents and teens want to be right because they want to .
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
4 ．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A ．Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
B ．Examples of the parent-teen war.
C ．Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
D ．Future of the parent-teen relationship.
答案： 1 ．A 2 ．D 3 ．C 4 ．A
【解析】本文是说明文。文章分析了父母和孩子之间战争的实质、原因、表现形式和解决办法。
1 ．推理判断题。根据第一段 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: …可知父母和孩子之间的战争最后没有明确的赢家，就像邻国之间的边界冲突。作者把二者相
比，是因为二者都是关于界限的。故选 A。
2 ．句意猜测题。上句 From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness.说明从父母的角度来看， 唯一的原因是他们的孩子完全不讲道理。画线句子 the teens see it in exactly the same way ，指的是孩子也用相同的方式看这个问题。根据下句 Both feel trapped.可推测孩子认为
父母不讲道理，引起了矛盾。 D 项表达了此意，故选 D。
3 ．细节理解题。根据最后一段 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.这些争论的重点是证明你是对的，而另一个人是错的，因为双方都希望被视为权威——一 个真正懂得一些事情的人——从而获得尊重。由此推知父母和孩子都希望自己是正确的，因为都想获得对
方的尊重。故选 C。
4 ．推理判断题。最后一段提到 In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. 在这篇文章中，作者将描述三种通常出现在青少 年和父母之间的不成功的情况，然后建议一些方法来摆脱这种陷阱。最后一段中介绍了三种情况及具体表
现，所以推测下段应该是问题的解决办法。故选 A。
（D）语法填空
Most of my friends have never been to China. I have been lucky enough to make at least thirteen trips there,
some on business, others for 1 (please). When in China, I had the opportunity to eat in a lot of different
restaurants, 2 (range) from the large and fancy to the small and pedestrian. 3 I really miss, and can’t
get here in Canada is the Chinese street food.
Years ago, while working in Beijing, my route to the office took me though a hutong and I always passed a man making food on a cutting board. The man had a large bowl of white dough from which he would break off a piece that he rolled into a ball a little 4 (large) than a golf ball. This he then flattened into a “waffle” about
ten centimeters across and went on 5 (cook) on the hot top of an oil barrel, turning the “waffle” 6
constantly. An egg, sometimes two, would be spread over this together with 7 (chop) onions and some sort of spices. The whole thing 8 (serve)in a paper wrapper. I would take two of these, brew a cup of coffee and
have an 9 (absolute) delicious breakfast.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I will ever again have the privilege of travelling to China 10 the street food
treats will have to live on only in my memory.
答案：1．pleasure2．ranging3．What4．larger5．to cook6．over7．chopped8．was served9．absolutely10．so##and 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的作者曾多次到访中国，非常喜欢中国的美食，但作者可能无法再
次来到中，表达了对中国美食怀念。
1 ．考查名词。句意：我很幸运，至少去了 13 次那里，有的是出差，有的是玩乐。空处作介词 for 的宾语，
应用名词， please 的名词形式为 pleasure(玩乐)，不可数名词，故填 pleasure。
2 ．考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国的时候，我有机会在很多不同的餐馆吃饭，从大的、高档的到小的、步 行的。分析句子可知， 已有谓语动词 had，range 应用非谓语动词形式， 且 range 与逻辑主语 restaurants 之间
为主谓关系，所以此处用现在分词表主动，作定语，故填 ranging。
3 ．考查主语从句。句意：在加拿大，我真正怀念的是中国的街头小吃，在这里我买不到。分析句子结合句 意可知， 空处引导一个主语从句， 且从句缺少宾语， 结合句意可知， 此处表示“怀念到东西”，应用代词 what
指代作者怀念的东西，引导该从句，空处位于句首，首字母大写。故填 What。
4 ．考查形容词比较级。句意：这名男子有一大碗白色面团，他会从中撕下一块面团，然后将其卷成一个比
高尔夫球稍大的球。根据 a little 和 than 可知，此处形容词应用比较级，故填 larger。
5 ．考查非谓语动词。句意：然后，他将其压扁成一个直径约 10 厘米的“华夫饼” ，然后在一个油桶的热顶上 烹饪， 不断翻转“华夫饼”。根据 went on 可知， 此处应用动词不定式， go on to do sth.表示“继续做 ……”，为
固定搭配。故填 to cook。
6 ．考查副词。句意：然后，他将其压扁成一个直径约 10 厘米的“华夫饼” ，然后在一个油桶的热顶上烹饪， 不断翻转“华夫饼”。根据句意和常识可知， 煎饼需要“翻转”，此处表示“翻转”，应用介词 over，短语 turn over(翻
转)为固定搭配。故填 over。
7 ．考查非谓语动词。句意：一个鸡蛋，有时是两个，会撒上碎洋葱和一些香料。分析句子可知，已有谓语 动词 would be spread，动词 chop 应用非谓语动词形式， 由句意可知，chop 与逻辑主语 egg 之间为动宾关系，
所以应用过去分词表被动，故填 chopped。
8 ．考查时态和语态。句意：整个东西都装在纸包装里。分析句子可知， 空处为句子的谓语， 根据语境可知， 此处描的事情发生在过去，时态用一般过去时，由句意可知，serve 与主语 the whole thing 之间为被动关系，
所以此处用一般过去时的被动式，主语 thing 为单数，谓语动词用单数，故填 was served。
9 ．考查副词。句意：我会吃两个，泡一杯咖啡，吃一顿美味的早餐。由句意可知，此处修饰形容词
delicious，应用副词修饰形容词，故填 absolutely。
10 ．考查连词。句意：不幸的是，我想我再也没有机会去中国旅行了，（所以）街头美食只能留在我的记 忆中。分析句子结合句意可知，前后句为并列句，表示递进或因果关系，应用 so 或 and 连接两个句子。故
填 so 或 and。
