I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My grandfather was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals（脚瞪子）and start cycling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn't.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from cycling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes（车闸）and fell right off the bike. My grandfather kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. My grandfather decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up brightly and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn't that afraid of falling anymore.
Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather's help. After all, riding a bike was indeed what I wanted to do eagerly.

Strangers under the Same Roof Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into an argument 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 You are not alone. Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
Teenagers' physical changes may result in such family tensions. You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate as your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots（粉刺）. When the worries get too much, your parents are often the first target of your anger.
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 s 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. 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.
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. 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. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood.

参考答案：
一、阅读理解
A
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在祖父的帮助下，第一次学习骑自行车的经历。
1.C细节理解题。根据第一段中The first time I got on a bike，I had no idea what I was doing，and just about everything went wrong.（我第一次骑自行车的时候，根本不知道自己在做什么，几乎所有的事情都出了问题。）可知，第一次在自行车上时，作者很紧张，不知道下一步该做什么，故选C项。A项“他不知道他要去哪里。”和B项“他以为让自己保持平衡很容易。”均不符合题意：D项“他把脚放在踏板上，开始骑自行车。”是在祖父教他之后做出的，故不符合题意。
2.C词义猜测题。根据前文I fell flat on my face and hit my nose（我脸朝下摔了一跤，撞到了鼻子）和下文and try again the next morning（第二天早晨再尝试）可猜测出My grandfather decided to call it a day的意思是：我的祖父决定暂停练习骑自行车，故选C项。
3.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中Despite the fact that...my grandfather's help.可推断出作者对于祖父的态度是感激的（Grateful），故选B项。supportive支持的；indifferent漠不关心的；negative否定的。
4.A主旨大意题。通过全文内容尤其是第一段中I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike.和最后一段中Despite the fact that…my grandfather's help.可知，本文主要讲述了作者在祖父的帮助下，第一次学习骑自行车的经历，故选A项。B项“我和祖父遇到的困难”、C项“我第一次得到了自己的自行车”和D项“我和祖父在一起的快乐时刻”均不符合文意。
B
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。激烈的争吵和冷冷的沉默在青少年和他们的父母之间很常见，本文论述了如何看待青少年和父母之间的紧张关系以及解决的方法。
5.D推理判断题。第一段中提出三个问题：你和父母的每顿晚餐似乎都会变成一场争吵吗？你们曾经热情、开放的谈话是否变得冷淡而谨慎？你觉得在任何事情上你都不能和他们意见一致吗？随后作者提出Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.的争吵和冰冷的沉默在青少年和他们的父母之间是常见的。）由此可以推断出，作者提出问题是为了吸引读者对本文话题的注意力。
6.A词义理解题。根据第三段画线词后no longer a small child but not quite an adult（不再是一个小孩子，但不完全是一个成年人）可知，画线词middle ground指的是介于孩子和成年人之间，故选A项。
7.C细节理解题。根据最后一段中The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication.可知，保持和平的关键是定期和诚实的沟通。由此可知，作者会同意C项“父母和青少年应该经常保持开放的谈话。”
8.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中The good news is that...prepare you for adulthood.（好消息是，这段风雨飘摇的时期不会持续下去。最终结果是一切都会好起来的。青少年时期遇到的变化和挑战会让你为成年做好准备。）可知，作者对家长和孩子之间的紧张状况持积极的态度。indifferent漠不关心的；critical批评的；positive积极的；negative消极的。故选C。
二、语法填空
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何维持健康的亲子关系。
1.helpful考查形容词。句意：众所周知，积极的亲子关系有助于儿童的身心成长。be helpful to意为“对……有帮助”，故本空应用形容词helpful。
2.growth考查名词。句意参考上题。根据空前的physical and mental可知，本空应用名词growth“成长”。常见的以-th结尾的名词：truth（真理）；wealth（财富）；length（长度）；width（宽度）；depth（深度）；warmth（温暖）；strength（力量）；health（健康）；growth（成长）。一句记忆：真理（truth）是一笔财富（wealth），它让我思考生命的长度（length）、宽度（width）和深度（depth），给我温暖（warmth）和力量（strength），促进我的健康（health）和成长（growth）。
3.needs考查时态及主谓一致。句意：然而，保持健康的亲子关系需要双方共同努力。本句讲述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，且句子主语为动名词短语keeping a healthy parent-child bond，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。
4.to improve考查不定式。句意：父母应该担负起改善与子女关系的责任。take the responsibility to do sth.意为“承担起做某事的责任”，其中不定式作定语修饰抽象名词responsibility.
5.however考查连接词。句意：重要的是与孩子共度宝贵时光，不管他们的日程安排多么紧。本空修饰形容词tight，故应用however引导让步状语从句。
6.meals考查名词复数。句意：例如，他们可以一起吃饭，一起参加体育赛事，或者一起看孩子们最喜欢的电视节目，这使他们的孩子感到安全和被爱。meal是可数名词，空前无冠词，故本空应用复数形式meals。.
7.which考查非限制性定语从句。句意参考上题。本空引导非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句，定语从句缺少主语，故应用关系代词which。
8.loved考查过去分词。句意参考上题。本空在句中作表语，表达“被爱”，故应用过去分词loved作表语。
9.have done考查时态。句意：另一方面，孩子们应该让父母知道他们感激父母为他们所做的一切。根据句意可知，本空用现在完成时表示对现在造成的影响，故填have done。
10.on考查介词。句意：如果可能的话，他们可以在特殊的日子送给父母礼物，或者定期帮忙做家务。on a regular basis意为“定期地”，故本空应用介词on。
