二、完形填空(从题中所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项)
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites, such as
micro-blog, blog and the Facebook, have actually become virtual
1
of the school hallways(走廊), so would you
add your parents as “friends” and allow them to
2
your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were
3
with latest technology
and parents were left behind, content to
4
their day-to-day lives as they always had because they thought
it was
5
for them to be good at new technology.
6
, more and more parents are beginning to
7
just how important social networks are in their
lives. This realization has given many parents the
8
to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are
9
to social networking sites because they can choose who they have
around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in
10
life. Sometimes
we feel that privacy is
11
when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It often leaves us
12
whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one
hand we don’t want to “refuse” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have
something to
13. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a(n)
14of being watched
and no longer feel free to
15
or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it
16
if their child ignores their request: “When a
teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t
17
mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean
that this is one part of their life where they want to be truly
18
.” It is
19
that your talking with
parents and giving explanations would help soften the
20
if you do choose not to add them to your friends
list.
语篇解读:本文是一篇关于家庭教育的议论文。随着科技的发展,各类社交网站兴起,孩子们的交流也扩展到了网络。很多父母也希望成为孩子们社交网站的好友,但这样的请求常会遭到拒绝。作者认为对于这种情况,父母应给予理解。

4. A. prove B. remain C. maintain D. continue
【答案】D
【解析】remain 保持,仍是;prove 后来被发现是;maintain 维持,维修;continue 继续。这儿对上文进一步解释:父母们也乐意如此,日复一日的重复着他们以往的生活。
5. A. accurate B. vital C. complex D. unnecessary
【答案】D
【解析】accurate 精确的,准确地;vital 必不可少的,极其重要的;complex 复杂的;unnecessary 不必要的。为什么“父母们甘愿重复他们原有的日常生活”?因为“父母亲认为他们没有必要精通新技术”。
6. A. However B. Indeed C. Thus D. Otherwise

现实生活中公开的隐私。
11. A. interpreted B. interacted C. insulted D. invaded
【答案】
【解析】interrupt 打扰;interact 互动;insult 侮辱,辱骂;invade 侵犯。当我们必须得接受父母或其他家庭成员为“好友”时,我们可能会感觉这种隐私(指没有在现实生活中公开的隐私)受到了侵犯。
12.A. in a mess B. in a dilemma C. at ease D. at random
【答案】B
【解析】in a mess 混乱,一团糟,in a dilemma 处于进退两难的境地,at ease 安逸,自在,无拘无束。at random随意地。根据下文的解释,说明这儿说的是:是否让爸妈成为我们网络生活的一部分真的常常让我们陷入了进退两难的境地。
13. A. avoid B. dislike C. hide D. decline
【答案】C
【解析】avoid 避免;dislike 不喜欢,讨厌;hide 隐瞒,隐藏;decline 谢绝。一方面,我们不想“拒绝”他们的好友请求,因为那可能会伤他们的心或是感觉到你有事隐瞒着。下文的“they are hidingsomething”有提示。

Don’t take it personally.就是在说真心话的时候请对方不要误会或生气的意思。根据下文的解释,
这儿是在劝父母亲。最近的一项调查指出,父母无须介意子女拒绝他们的好友请求:……
17.A. nevertheless B. necessarily C. possibly D. entirely
【答案】B
【解析】nevertheless 然而,不过;necessarily 必要地;possibly 可能地;entirely 完全地,彻底地。当一个青少年忽略了父母的好友请求,这未必意味着他们在隐瞒什么……。
18.A. independent B. available C. popular D. responsible
【答案】A
【解析】independent 独立的;available 可得到的;popular 受欢迎的;responsible 负责任的。青少年忽略父母加好友的请求可能意味着他们想真正独立。
19.A. probably B. possibly C. likely D. perhaps
【答案】C
【解析】probably 很可能;possibly 大概,也许;likely 可能的;perhaps 也许,大概。likely 是形容词,It is likely that 从句...表示“很有可能……”,故选 C。其余三个都是副词。
20. A. despair B. hatred C. result D. blow
【答案】D
【解析】despair 绝望;hatred 憎恨,怨恨;result 结果;blow 打击。拒绝父母亲在社交网站上加好友的请求会使父母亲受到打击,很有可能你跟父母亲的交谈和解释能缓解对他们的打击。

语篇解读:人生有两个主要的选择:接受现状,或承担改变现状的责任。
1.【答案】constantly
【解析】考查副词。副词修饰动词,故填 constantly。
2.【答案】or
【解析】考查连词。此处表示一种“选择”,故填 or。句意:“当我长大了,我会这样做。”或“在几
年内,我会这样做的。”
3.【答案】are experiencing
【解析】考查动词的时态。此处表示“他们正在体验的生活”,故用现在进行时态,are experiencing。
4.【答案】meaningless

5.【答案】viewed/considered

过自己毫无价值,没有吸引力的?。此处填 described 也可以接受:describe...as... 把……描述

并列。
7.【答案】an
【解析】考查冠词。“incredibly 不可思议地”,这个词以元音开头,所以加 an 表示“一”,故填 an。
8.【答案】who/that
