I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year.In the society where my peers and I live， we tend to accept the rat race values.As students， we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs.I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes.There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams.It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad.Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home.Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged （唠叨） him to let her go to work.Their constant arguing bothered me， so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job.He agreed， and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement， however， is my successful work in the local old folks’ home.My grandparents had raised me since I was a child.I wept （哭泣） bitterly when they died.Unlike many of my classmates， I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points.I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause.This is where I can help.I talk to the elderly， assist them with their daily lives， and listen to their problems， glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year， I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time.Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year.When I reflect on my accomplishments， I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home， so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future.I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it， after all.

I’m fat.I’m too skinny.I’d be happy if I were taller， shorter， had curly hair， straight hair， a smaller nose， bigger muscles， longer legs.Do any of these statements sound familiar？ Do you often put yourself down？ If so， you’re not alone.As a teen， you’re going through a ton of changes in your body.And as your body changes， so does your image （形象） of yourself.Lots of people have trouble getting used to it， and this can have an influence on their confidence.
Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves.But actually all you need to do is to change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.
The first thing to do is to recognize that your body is your own， no matter what shape， size， or colour it comes in.If you’re very worried about your weight or size， go to your doctor to check if things are OK.But it’s no one’s business but your own.No matter what your body is like finally， you have to be happy with yourself.
Next， find which aspects of your appearance you can change and which you can’t.Everyone， even the most perfect-seeming celebrity， has things about themselves that they can’t change and need to accept — like their height， for example，or their shoe size.
If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can， do this by making goals for yourself.For example， if you want to get fit， make a plan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods.
When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself， tell yourself to stop.Try building your confidence by listing three things in your day that really give you pleasure.It can be anything like the way the sun feels on your face， the sound of your favourite band， or the way someone laughs at your jokes.
8.What does the underlined phrase “put yourself down” in the first paragraph probably mean？
A.Make yourself fall down.
B.Write down your name somewhere.
C.Force yourself to do something.
D.Say negative things about yourself.
9.What can we infer from the first paragraph？
A.Most teens like to have a special body image.
B.Many teens can’t accept their body changes easily.
C.Teens prefer to change their body image quickly.
D.Teens usually change their opinions on their body image.
10.Which of the following does the author probably agree with？
A.Change the way other people look at you.
B.Go to your doctor for advice on how to change your body.
C.Learn from some celebrities on how to change your body.
D.Realize you can’t change everything about yourself.
11.What is the passage mainly about？
A.How to treat the changes of your body.
B.How to build confidence by changing your body.
C.How to keep an attractive body image.
D.How to find pleasure in your day.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Raising teenagers can be both difficult and rewarding.They are becoming young adults.Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts （爆发） with their families during this period of life. 12 Here are some ideas that may create positive experiences for teens and parents.
Have meals together.Mealtime is when we check in with each other. 13 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.
14 As teens develop their own sense of independence， 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.During these years， help teens learn that their words and actions matter. 15 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. 16
A.Talk with your teen.
B.Never try to control your child.
C.Parents have a role in keeping their teens safe.
D.Relaxing together helps them feel loved and valued.
E.This can be hard to do with busy schedules， but it is important.
F.Some teens learn this by playing in music bands or team sports.
G.But strong relationships can help teens and their parents through hard times.

语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章是《心灵鸡汤》的一则征稿启事。
1.C 细节理解题。根据We welcome your stories！部分中的If you have a story that you think fits two of the topics/books required， you may submit it to both.可知，如果投稿人认为他的一则故事适用于两个话题或两本书，就可以同时投给两个话题或两本书。
2.A 细节理解题。根据Guidelines for a Chicken Soup for the Soul story部分中第一点的内容可知，投稿人可以写自己的故事，也可以写身边其他人的故事。
3.A 写作意图题。本文是《心灵鸡汤》发布的一则征稿启事，包括对所投稿件的具体要求和注意事项，故其主要目的是征集稿件。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的成就不仅表现在学业上，还体现在对家庭关系的处理和做养老院义工中。养老院的志愿服务不仅让作者能够帮助别人，还给作者带来了极大的满足感。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的I enjoy studying ...It was a great accomplishment.可推知，作者对自己的学习成绩很满意。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad.可推知，作者在改善父母的关系中扮演了一个帮手的角色。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的My most proud achievement， however， is my successful work in the local old folks’ home.可知，对志愿工作的贡献是作者最大的成就。
7.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的When I reflect on my accomplishments ...as well as find great satisfaction in it， after all.可知，作者想在大学学习社会工作专业是为了更好地帮助弱势群体。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了随着年龄的增长，青少年身体发生了很多变化，很多人难以适应并影响了他们的信心，因此作者提出了一系列的看法和建议。
8.D 词义猜测题。根据第一段的前三句可知，青少年可能会对自己做出一些负面的评价。由此可推知，画线词跟these statements所指一样，都是表示妄自菲薄、小看自己的意思。
9.B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句可知，随着青少年身体（内在的）变化，他们的样子也会变化，但很多人很难适应它，这会影响他们的信心。因此，B项（很多青少年很难轻易接受自己身体的变化）符合文意。
10.D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，每个人，即使是看起来最完美的名人，都有自己无法改变的东西，比如他们的身高或者鞋码。由此可推知，有很多事情我们是无法改变的，必须学会调整自己对事情的看法，适应这种变化。
11.A 主旨大意题。综合全文，尤其是第二段可知，文章主要叙述了青少年应该怎样适应并正确看待自己身体成长变化的问题，并提出了相关的建议。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明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。
12.G 空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。设空处应呼应上文，继续讲述叛逆期，且提及如何度过这一时期。G项中的hard times指“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，且在逻辑上与上文构成转折。
13.E 根据段落主旨句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。E项（这在繁忙的日程中可能很难做到，但这很重要）符合语境，且E项中This呼应上文，且but后的句子是下文的总结，与下文构成解释关系。
14.A 设空处为该段主旨句。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。由此可知，该段的核心为“与孩子聊天”。A项（和你的孩子谈谈）符合该段主旨。
15.F 空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。F项中Some与空后的Others相呼应，并与下文构成并列关系，且this指代上文的their words and actions matter。
16.D 本段首句提到了“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。因此设空处应讲他们喜欢什么。D项（一起放松能让他们感受到被爱和被重视）符合语境，D项中Relaxing together呼应本段主题，且D项解释了青少年喜欢“被爱”和“被重视”。

Strangers under the same roof①？
Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a battle②？ Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded③？[1]Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them④ on anything？ You are not alone.Heated arguments⑤ and cold silences⑥ are common between teenagers⑦ and their parents.
Teenagers’ physical changes may result in⑧ such family tensions⑨.[2]You may feel anxious⑩ that you are developing at a different rate to your friends， shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice， weight problems or spots .When it all gets too much， your parents are often the first targets of your anger.
[1]句中that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything是宾语从句，主句谓语是feel。
[2]that引导宾语从句，从句中are developing作谓语；动词-ing短语shooting up in height or getting left far behind作状语。
[3]It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground — no longer a small child but not quite an adult .You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents’ love and support.You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own.Unfortunately， your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.“Why can’t they just let me go？” you may wonder.[4]On the other hand ， when you are struggling to control your feelings， you wish they could be more caring and patient — sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult.All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.
[3]It是形式主语，动词不定式短语to balance your developing mental needs too是真正的主语。
[4]when引导时间状语从句，主句谓语wish之后接省略了that的宾语从句，从句使用了虚拟语气；句中破折号起解释说明的作用；that引导的宾语从句中，动词-ing短语growing up作主语。
[5]Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family， you can take action to improve the situation.The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication.When you disagree with your parents， take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view .Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain.After you have thought it through ，explain your actions and feelings calmly， listen carefully， and address their concerns .[6]Through this kind of healthy discussion， you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.
[5]Although引导让步状语从句，其中it作形式主语，动词不定式短语to get along as a family是真正的主语；主句中动词不定式短语to improve the situation作目的状语。
[6]句中两个“疑问词＋动词不定式”结构when to do ...作learn 的宾语。
[7]Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent-child tensions create， and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship.The good news is that this stormy period will not last.[8]Everything will turn out all right in the end， and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood.
[7]本句为祈使句，动词remember后接两个that引导的宾语从句，此时引导第一个宾语从句的that可以省略，而引导第二个宾语从句的that不可以省略。该句中，第一个宾语从句中有一个that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the stress。
[8]本句是由and连接的并列句。第二个分句中，介词短语of your teenage years作后置定语，修饰the changes and challenges。

【参考译文】
同一屋檐下的陌生人？
是不是你和父母的每一顿饭，似乎都会演变成一场争执？你们曾经暖心、坦诚的对话是否已变得冷漠且谨慎？你是否觉得，你已经无法在任何事情上与他们达成一致？你并不是唯一的一个。火爆的争吵和冰冷的沉默在青少年和他们的父母之间是司空见惯的。
青少年的身体变化可能会导致这样的家庭关系紧张。你可能会感到焦虑，因为你发现自己发育的速度和朋友们不同：要么是个头猛蹿，要么是远远落在其他人后面。变声、体重问题、粉刺可能都会让你忧心忡忡。当这一切让你不堪重负时，父母常常会成为你发泄愤怒的首选目标。
如何平衡日益发展的心理需求，也是个颇让人头疼的大问题。你进入到一个陌生的中间地带：不再是个小孩子但也还算不上是个成年人。你既对独立充满新的渴望，又对父母的爱与支持抱有不断的需求。你感到自己已经做好准备，可以肩负更多责任，可以独立做决定。可惜，你的父母不总是认同这一点，于是这让你感到不快乐。你可能会想：“对我，他们为什么就不能放手呢？”另一方面，当你努力想控制自己的情感时，你希望他们能更加体贴，更有耐心——有时候他们忘记了成长是一个艰难的过程。当你的父母把你当作孩子来对待，却希望你表现得像个大人时，你的处境就会很艰难。所有这些都可能会导致亲子关系的破裂。
尽管有时候一家人似乎根本无法和谐相处，但你还是可以采取行动来改善这一局面。维持和睦关系的关键在于定期、坦诚的沟通。当你和父母意见相左时，花点时间让自己冷静下来，尝试从他们的角度了解状况。或许他们经历过类似的事情，不想让你经受同样的痛苦。在你全面考虑之后，冷静地解释你的行为和感受，仔细倾听，并设法消除他们的顾虑。通过这种良性讨论，你会学会何时应该做出让步，何时可以要求父母放松对你的掌控。
只要记住，无法轻松应对亲子关系紧张带来的压力是完全正常的，并且你和父母可以共同努力，改善关系。好消息是这段“暴风骤雨”不会一直持续下去。最后一切都会好起来的。青少年时期遇到的变化和挑战会让你为成年做好准备。

同一屋檐下的陌生人？
是不是你和父母的每一顿饭，似乎都会演变成一场争执？你们曾
经暖心、坦诚的对话是否已变得冷漠且谨慎？你是否觉得，你已经无
法在任何事情上与他们达成一致？你并不是唯一的一个。火爆的争吵
和冰冷的沉默在青少年和他们的父母之间是司空见惯的。
青少年的身体变化可能会导致这样的家庭关系紧张。你可能会感
到焦虑，因为你发现自己发育的速度和朋友们不同：要么是个头猛
蹿，要么是远远落在其他人后面。变声、体重问题、粉刺可能都会让
你忧心忡忡。当这一切让你不堪重负时，父母常常会成为你发泄愤怒
的首选目标。
如何平衡日益发展的心理需求，也是个颇让人头疼的大问题。你
进入到一个陌生的中间地带：不再是个小孩子但也还算不上是个成年
人。你既对独立充满新的渴望，又对父母的爱与支持抱有不断的需
求。你感到自己已经做好准备，可以肩负更多责任，可以独立做决
定。可惜，你的父母不总是认同这一点，于是这让你感到不快乐。你
可能会想：“对我，他们为什么就不能放手呢？”另一方面，当你努
力想控制自己的情感时，你希望他们能更加体贴，更有耐心——有时
候他们忘记了成长是一个艰难的过程。当你的父母把你当作孩子来对
待，却希望你表现得像个大人时，你的处境就会很艰难。所有这些都
可能会导致亲子关系的破裂。
尽管有时候一家人似乎根本无法和谐相处，但你还是可以采取行
动来改善这一局面。维持和睦关系的关键在于定期、坦诚的沟通。当
你和父母意见相左时，花点时间让自己冷静下来，尝试从他们的角度
了解状况。或许他们经历过类似的事情，不想让你经受同样的痛苦。
在你全面考虑之后，冷静地解释你的行为和感受，仔细倾听，并设法
消除他们的顾虑。通过这种良性讨论，你会学会何时应该做出让步，
何时可以要求父母放松对你的掌控。
只要记住，无法轻松应对亲子关系紧张带来的压力是完全正常
的，并且你和父母可以共同努力，改善关系。好消息是这段“暴风骤
雨”不会一直持续下去。最后一切都会好起来的。青少年时期遇到的
变化和挑战会让你为成年做好准备。

2. 美句欣赏——赏佳句，品用法
排比： 本文一开头就使用了排比的修辞手法，连续使用三个一般
疑问句引出文章主题。作者通过三连问列举了青少年与父母相处时
的三种真实场景，引起同处于青春期的读者的共鸣。句中warm and
open与cold and guarded形成强烈的对比，画面感极强，吸引读者去
阅读、去探究。
请从课文中找出朗读并翻译成汉语。
原文：
翻译：
Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a
battle？ Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and
guarded？Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on
anything？
是不是你和父母的每一顿饭，似乎都会演变成一场争执？
你们曾经暖心、坦诚的对话是否已变得冷漠且谨慎？你是否觉得，
你已经无法在任何事情上与他们达成一致？
第四步：析难句，清阅读障碍
1. Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family，
you can take action to improve the situation.
句式分析
自主翻译
尽管有时候一家人似乎根本无法和谐相处，但你还是
可以采取行动来改善这一局面。
2. Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress
that parent-child tensions create， and that you and your parents can
work together to improve your relationship.
句式分析
自主翻译
只要记住，无法轻松应对亲子关系紧张带来的压力是
完全正常的，并且你和父母可以共同努力，改善关系。
第五步：拓视野，育思维品质
1. Why are family members called “strangers” by the author？
（Critical Thinking 批判性思维）
Although family members are thought to be close， they may have
different opinions on the same matter.Without honest and peaceful
communication， conversations will easily turn into heated arguments
and cold silences as if family members didn’t know or care about each
other， just like “strangers”.By creating such a contrast， the author
intends to arouse our interest to read the article.
2. The article suggests that teenagers want both independence and their
parents’ love and support.Do you feel the same way or not？
（Creative Thinking 创造性思维）
I feel the same way.Sometimes I wish my parents would treat me
like an adult and give me the freedom to make my own
decisions.However， when I experience difficulties or setbacks， I
would also like their encouragement and comforting words.This makes
me feel loved and gives me the courage to keep going.

B
I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the
end of the year.In the society where my peers and I live， we tend to
accept the rat race values.As students， we want to get good grades so
that we can get good jobs.I enjoy studying and have consistently received
A’s in my classes.There was a year when I finished first in my class in
the final exams.It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the
relationship between Mum and Dad.Dad was a successful businessman
who was rarely at home.Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and
constantly nagged （唠叨） him to let her go to work.Their constant
arguing bothered me， so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with
a part-time job.He agreed， and their relationship has improved since
then.
My most proud achievement， however， is my successful work in
the local old folks’ home.My grandparents had raised me since I was a
child.I wept （哭泣） bitterly when they died.Unlike many of my
classmates， I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn
points.I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a
worthwhile cause.This is where I can help.I talk to the elderly， assist
them with their daily lives， and listen to their problems， glory days and
the hardships they experienced.
Last year， I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and
they enjoyed a great time.Many expressed a desire to attend another party

C
I’m fat.I’m too skinny.I’d be happy if I were taller， shorter，
had curly hair， straight hair， a smaller nose， bigger muscles， longer
legs.Do any of these statements sound familiar？ Do you often put
yourself down？ If so， you’re not alone.As a teen， you’re going
through a ton of changes in your body.And as your body changes， so
does your image （形象） of yourself.Lots of people have trouble getting
used to it， and this can have an influence on their confidence.
Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel
good about themselves.But actually all you need to do is to change the
way you see your body and how you think about yourself.
The first thing to do is to recognize that your body is your own， no
matter what shape， size， or colour it comes in.If you’re very worried
about your weight or size， go to your doctor to check if things are OK.
But it’s no one’s business but your own.No matter what your body is
like finally， you have to be happy with yourself.
Next， find which aspects of your appearance you can change and
which you can’t.Everyone， even the most perfect-seeming celebrity，
has things about themselves that they can’t change and need to accept —
like their height， for example，or their shoe size.
If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can，
do this by making goals for yourself.For example， if you want to get
fit， make a plan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods.
When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself，
tell yourself to stop.Try building your confidence by listing three things in
your day that really give you pleasure.It can be anything like the way the
sun feels on your face， the sound of your favourite band， or the way
someone laughs at your jokes.

paragraph probably mean？
A. Make yourself fall down.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Raising teenagers can be both difficult and rewarding.They are
becoming young adults.Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral
outbursts （爆发） with their families during this period of life. 12
Here are some ideas that may create positive experiences for teens and
parents.
Have meals together.Mealtime is when we check in with each
other. 13 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.
14 As teens develop their own sense of independence， 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.During these years，
help teens learn that their words and actions matter. 15 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. 16
A. Talk with your teen.
B. Never try to control your child.
C. Parents have a role in keeping their teens safe.
D. Relaxing together helps them feel loved and valued.
E. This can be hard to do with busy schedules， but it is important.
F. Some teens learn this by playing in music bands or team sports.
G. But strong relationships can help teens and their parents through hard
times.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了牢固的亲子关系可

造积极体验的建议。
12. G 空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。设空处应呼应上文，继续讲述叛逆期，且提及如
何度过这一时期。G项中的hard times指“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
与上文构成转折。
13. E 根据段落主旨句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。E项（这在繁忙的日程中可能很难做到，但这很重要）符合
语境，且E项中This呼应上文，且but后的句子是下文的总结，与下文
构成解释关系。
14. A 设空处为该段主旨句。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。由此可
知，该段的核心为“与孩子聊天”。A项（和你的孩子谈谈）符合该
段主旨。
15. F 空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。F项中Some与空后的Others相呼应，并与
下文构成并列关系，且this指代上文的their words and actions matter。
16. D 本段首句提到了“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。因此设空处应讲他们喜
欢什么。D项（一起放松能让他们感受到被爱和被重视）符合语境，
D项中Relaxing together呼应本段主题，且D项解释了青少年喜欢“被
爱”和“被重视”。
谢谢观看！
