Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
It is every kid’s worst nightmare(噩梦) and six-year-old Jaden Hayes has lived it twice.First he lost his dad when he was only at the age of four and then last month his mom died unexpectedly in her deep sleep.
“I tried and I tried and I tried to get her awake，but...I just couldn’t，” said Jaden.
No one could imagine how heartbroken Jaden was.
But there’s another side to his sadness.A side he first made public a few weeks ago when he told his aunt，Barbara DiCola，and now his guardian(监护人) after both his parents died，that he was sick and tired of seeing everyone sad all the time.And he had a plan to fix it.
“And that was the beginning of it，” said Barbara.“That’s where the adventure began.”
Jaden asked his aunt Barbara to buy a bunch of little toys and bring him to downtown Savannah，Georgia near where he lives，so he could give them away to anyone who will smile to him.“I’m trying to make people smile，” said Jaden.
Jaden targets people who aren’t already smiling and then turns their day around.He’s gone out on four different occasions now and he is always successful.Even if sometimes he doesn’t get exactly the reaction he was hoping for.
It is just so overwhelming to some people that a six-year-old orphan would give away a toy—expecting nothing in return—except a smile.
“My goal will be 33，000 smiles.I’ve finished a third already，” said Jaden.When asked if he thinks he can make that goal，he answered，“I think I can.”
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章记叙了失去双亲的男孩，不图回报赠予别人礼物，获得微笑的故事。
1.What happened to Jaden when he was 6 years old
A.He had a nightmare one night.
B.His father died unexpectedly.
C.He lost both his mother and his father.

2.Who is Barbara DiCola
A.She is Jaden’s new mother.
B.She is Jaden’s aunt and his guardian as well.
C.She is Jaden’s grandmother.
D.She is Jaden’s neighbour.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第四段的“A side he first made public a few...everyone sad all the time.”可知，Barbara DiCola是Jaden的阿姨，也是他的监护人。]
3.Why did Jaden ask Barbara DiCola to buy him toys
A.To sell them to the people in Savannah，Georgia.
B.To make some money.
C.To help those who were in trouble.
D.To make people smile.

4.Which of the following words can be used to describe Jaden
A.Caring and confident.
B.Rich and hopeful.
C.Pitiful and kind.
D.Hardworking and kind.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据第一段可知，Jaden在六岁失去了母亲，很令人同情；以及倒数第三段首句“Jaden targets people who aren’t already smiling and then turns their day around.”可知，Jaden让自己的阿姨给自己买玩具是为了让人们微笑，可知他非常善良。综上，故选C项。]
B
As parents，we walk a fine line between caring for our children and teaching them how to care for themselves.When they’re little，they need our help with everything.Over time，kids usually take the lead on things like feeding and dressing themselves，but it can be difficult to know when it’s time for them to start doing some basic things，such as packing their own lunches for school or solving problems with teachers without a parent’s help.
Blogger Amy Carney recently shared a post about the things parents should stop doing for their teens.In it，Carney shared the basic skills that she expects her kids to master by the time they hit 13，such as waking themselves up in the morning，making their own breakfast and lunch，and finishing their own homework.
Barb Harvey，a childhood behaviour expert，gave me her answer：The age at which children learn to master certain skills will be different depending upon the maturity (成熟) and interest level of the child.
I asked the same question among my friends.They gave all kinds of answers，which can explain Harvey’s opinion.
Therefore，there’s only one expert who can determine when your kids have the ability to deal with certain skills，and that’s you.If your kids aren’t ready to pack their own lunch—don’t sweat it.Help them learn the skills they’re ready to deal with and keep working towards the end goal of raising responsible and able adults.Because if there’s one thing that we can all agree on as parents，it’s that time moves quickly when you’re raising kids.One day you will wish they could just do things without you and the next day，you will feel upset that they do.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文，主要介绍了父母和孩子的成长。
5.What is Amy Carney’s expectation when her children are 13
A.To be a skillful cook.
B.To follow Harvey’s opinion.
C.To be an expert.
D.To have basic skills.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Amy Carney期望自己的孩子们在13岁时可以掌握一些基本技能。]
6.Who can decide when the children will learn to care for themselves
A.Amy Carney. B.Barb Harvey.
C.The children. D.The parents.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句Therefore，there’s only one expert...and that’s you.可知，孩子们什么时候可以照顾自己取决于父母。]
7.Why will parents feel upset when their children grow up
A.Their kids can do nothing.
B.They feel less important.
C.Their children become able adults.
D.Their kids disagree on anything.
答案 B [推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句和对第一段的整体理解可推知，当孩子们长大了，真的可以自己做自己的事情时，父母会觉得失落是因为他们觉得孩子们不再需要自己了，自己对孩子们来讲没有那么重要了。]
8.What does the text mainly talk about
A.Walking a fine line.
B.Blogger Amy Carney.
C.Parents and their children’s growth.
D.A childhood behaviour expert.
答案 C [文章大意题。根据第一段第一句并结合对全文的整体理解可知，本文主要讲述的是父母和孩子的成长。]
Ⅱ.完形填空
When I was 14 years old，I was angry and rebellious，with 1 regard for anything my parents had to say， 2 if it had nothing to do with me.Like so many 3 ，I struggled to escape from anything that didn’t 4 my picture of the world.As a brilliant without need of guidance kid，I refused to accept any obvious 5 of love.In fact I got 6 at the proposal of the word “love”.
One 7 ，after an extremely difficult day，I 8 into my room，shut the door loudly and fell down onto my bed heavily.As I lay down in the privacy of my 9 ，my hands placed under my pillow.There was an envelope and I pulled what was inside out，which read，“To 10 when you’re alone.”
11 I was alone，no one would know whether I read it or not.So I opened it.It said，“Mike，I know life is 12 right now，I know you are upset and I know we don’t do everything right.I also know that I love you 13 and nothing you do or say will ever change that I am here for you if you ever need to talk.If you don’t，that’s also 14 .Just know that no matter where you go or whatever you do in your life，I will always love you and be 15 that you are my son.I’m here for you and I love you—that will never change.Love you，Mom.”
That was the first of several “To read when you’re alone” letters.During my teen years，the letters were the calm assurance that I still could be loved in spite of my anger and rudeness.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。作者14岁的时候很叛逆，一天，他心情沮丧的回到家，发现枕头底下妈妈给他写的信，信中写道妈妈对他成长过程中的苦恼表示理解，并表达了她对作者无私的爱，令作者非常感动。

Ⅲ.语法填空
A recent study shows that most adults did household chores 1. (active) when they were young.Most kids today do not do as many household chores as before，2. same study shows.
An expert said，“Parents today want their kids to spend more time 3. things that can bring them money and honour.They have stopped 4. (do) the one thing that has proven to bring success.That is doing household chores.”
Another study finds that compared with the kids 5. didn’t do household chores，young adults beginning chores at ages 3 and 4 were more likely 6. (succeed).They had better family relationships，did better in school，performed better at work and were more independent.
Personal happiness 7. (say) to come from strong relationships.It begins by learning to be kind and 8. (help) to their parents at home.
If your kids say they have to skip chores because it’s time they 9. (deal) with their homework，you’d better not let them off the hook.If you do，your child may think grades are more important than caring about others.“What may seem like small 10. (message) at the moment add up to big ones over time，” says an expert.
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。作者认为，父母要培养孩子们从小做家务的习惯。
1.actively [考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰谓语动词did，要用副词，所以用active的副词形式actively。]
2.the [考查冠词。此处的“study”就是上文提到的“study”，是特指，故用定冠词the。]
3.on [考查介词。spend sth on sth为固定搭配，意为“把……花在……上”。故此处填介词on。]
4.doing [考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知，这里说的是“停止做某事”，而不是“停下来去做某事”，故用stop doing sth。]
5.who/that [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中引导定语从句，先行词为kids，关系代词在从句中作主语，因此填who/that。]
6.to succeed [考查非谓语动词。be likely to do sth为固定句型，意为“有可能做某事”，所以此处要填to succeed。]
7.is said [考查时态语态和主谓一致。本句含有“be said＋动词不定式”结构，且这里说的是现在的一般情况，主语为Personal happiness，因此填is said。]
8.helpful [考查词性转换。本空应填形容词helpful与kind并列作表语。]
9.dealt/should deal [考查时态。It’s time(that)...为固定句型，that从句要用虚拟语气，即从句谓语用一般过去式或“should＋do”，其中should不可以省略，故填dealt/should deal。]
10.messages [考查名词的数。message是可数名词，其前没有冠词，故要用其复数形式messages。]UNIT 2 课时测评作业二

Children should do housework.That’s a controversial(有争议的) idea，though not everyone will admit it.A few parents will declare that their children are too busy for housework.Many more of us assign housework，or say we believe in them，but the housework just doesn’t get done.
That’s a problem.For starters，housework is good for kids.Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others，while at the same time contributing to their emotional well-being.
One small study，done over a period of 25 years，found that the best predictor for young adults’ success in their mid-20s was whether they participated in household tasks at age 3 or 4.Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.
But for all that their help matters，few kids are doing much around the house at all.In a survey of 1，000 American adults，75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids “more responsible”.Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up，only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework.
Sports and homework are not get-out-of-housework-free cards.The goal，after all，is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and communities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose.Housework teaches that balance.
What should you do when getting children to do housework？Accept no excuses.Don’t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again.If you’re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself，then you’re doing it right.Can an allowance help？Maybe.But if you’re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home，paying them for routine housework is not the right message.
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章主要以“孩子要做家务”为话题，通过研究和事例，论证做家务对孩子成长的重要性，鼓励家长督促孩子多参与家务，培养责任意识。
4.What is most parents’ problem with children doing housework
A.They are against the idea.
B.They fail to put it into practice.
C.They doubt the possibility of it.
D.They are finding excuses for their children.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A few parents will declare that...housework just doesn’t get done.”可知，对大多数父母来说，让孩子做家务存在的问题是他们没有把它付诸实践。]
5.Why does the author mention the small study
A.To state the reasons for early success.
B.To give examples of some successful people.
C.To prove doing housework is beneficial.
D.To suggest kids take responsibility for their behaviour.
答案 C [写作意图题。根据第三段最后一句“Those early shared...areas of their lives.”可知文章在第二段介绍了孩子做家务的好处，第三段用一项研究具体阐释了第二段的内容。可知作者提到研究是为了证明让孩子做家务是有益的。]
6.According to the survey of American adults，how many of them used to do housework as children
A.820. B.560. C.750. D.440.
答案 A [数字计算题。根据第四段的“In a survey of 1，000 American adults...housework growing up”可知，参与调查的1 000个人中，82%的人说自己成长过程中经常做家务，即有820人小时候常做家务。]
7.Why does the author write the last paragraph
A.To criticize some irresponsible parents.
B.To discuss the impact of a good family atmosphere.
C.To advise parents to spend more time with their kids.
D.To offer parents some advice on assigning children housework.
答案 D [写作意图题。最后一段的首句“What should you do when getting children to do housework？”是本段的主题句，作者在本段就“如何让孩子参与到家务事中”向父母提供了建议。可知，最后一段是给父母一些关于分配孩子做家务的建议。]

【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。Tom很调皮，每次去奶奶家都会做一些不好的事。然而有一天他变了。
1.her [考查代词。这里用she的宾格her作visited的宾语。]
2.a [考查冠词。这里指Tom是一个调皮的男孩，故填不定冠词a。]
3.differently [考查词性转换。此处用副词修饰动词behaved，故填differently。]
4.running [考查非谓语动词。of是介词，后面需接动名词。]
5.why [考查名词性从句。Tom突然变了，奶奶感到很困惑，她在想“为什么” Tom变了那么多。]

Growing pains and gains
It’s not easy to grow up.Actually it’s far from easy.Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us.We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like.Sometimes we feel trapped，sometimes we are fearful，and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever.When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude(态度)，we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked.They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano.At that time I hated music，just because it was what they wanted me to do.But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons.Music has enriched my life in so many ways.I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along，not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life.They’ve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying，so live life to its fullest！We are all going to experience growing pains，but they are just small pains in life.They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong.Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that.The future is ours！A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone！If we realize that these pains are just small bumps(凸块)on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
【语篇解读】 本文是夹叙夹议文。作者从自身的角度向我们讲述了成长中的青少年有许多的烦恼，以及如何看待这些成长的烦恼。
1.According to Paragraph 1，we learn that when we are young， .
A.life is full of joy
B.life is easy for us
C.we know we can stay young forever
D.we sometimes can’t do things we like
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第一段的“We are always doing things...to do all the things we like.”可知，我们小的时候不能做自己喜欢的事情。]
2.When the author was young，she was forced by her parents to .
A.take music lessons
B.turn gains into pains
C.look back on hardships
D.live a successful life by suffering a lot
答案 A [细节理解题。根据第二段的“At that time I hated music”和“But looking back now，I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons.”可知，作者小的时候，父母强迫她上音乐课。]
3.What does the underlined phrase “to its fullest” mean
A.Directly. B.Completely.
C.Carefully. D.Terribly.
答案 B [词义猜测题。根据语境可知，我们的生活只存在两种状态——生或死，因此我们要充分地过好我们的人生。to its fullest“充分地”，directly“直接地”；completely“完全地”；carefully“仔细地”；terribly“可怕地”。]
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.
B.We all have to experience growing pains.
C.A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us.
D.Life without fear is a better choice for us.

B
There was a boy in India who was sent by his parents to a boarding school.Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class.He was at the top in every competition.He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school.His grades started dropping.He hated being in a group.He was lonely all the time.And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself.All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.
His parents started worrying about the boy.But even they did not know what was wrong with him.So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.
They sat on the bank of the lake near the school.The father started asking him casual questions about his classes，teachers and sports.After some time his dad said，“Do you know，son，why I am here today？”
The boy answered back，“to check my grades？”
“No，no，” his dad replied，“I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me.I want to see you happy.I don’t care about grades.I care about you.I care about your happiness.YOU ARE MY LIFE.”
These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears.He hugged his dad.They didn’t say anything to each other for a long time.
Now the boy had everything he wanted.He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply.He meant the world to someone.And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!
Thanks a lot，Dad.YOU ARE MY LIFE.

C
Do you know that the average child has heard the word “no” over 20，000 times before they turn the age of three？Ironically，it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The “terrible twos” are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four，children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time that they watch how other children and adults reason. If we’re not careful，the children will watch us model a world of “NOs”.
By the time a person turns eighteen，how many times have they been told no？I haven’t found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic，but I’m sure if the number is 20，000 by three，then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.
Anyway，I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However，do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no？Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化) all of the “NOs” we’ve heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else
The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run into people with big，unaccomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20，000 NOs. However，the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES！Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner，it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章表达了作者对说“不”的看法。作者认为虽然有时说“不”是出于保护自己，但常常对孩子说“不”会对他们产生消极的影响。为了让孩子有改观，作者建议家长对他们说一句“是”。
9.What do we know about two-year-olds
A.They understand well.
B.They often say no to others.
C.They think logically.
D.They don’t do all they’re told.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第一段的“it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey”可知，孩子们在三岁前就开始形成拒绝顺从的鲜明个性。]
10.What effect does saying no have on children
A.They lose all their dreams.
B.They aren’t easy to succeed.
C.They don’t make mistakes.
D.They never say yes to others.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据最后一段前两句可知，不断对孩子说“不”，会破坏孩子的梦想，导致他们最终有很多没有实现的梦想。]
11.Which word best describes the author’s attitude to a world of “NOs”？
A.Tolerant. B.Disapproving.
C.Favorable. D.Carefree.
答案 B [观点态度题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其最后一段最后三句可知，作者对一个充斥着“不”的世界，其态度是否定的。]
12.What is the text

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章讲述了一些爱父母的方法，如每天向父母问好；尊重他们并珍惜在一起的时刻；服从父母的要求，懂得原谅他们；陪伴他们。
1.C [根据空前句可知，本句承接上文，进一步论述孩子对父母的看法，上文中“your parents”可对应到C选项中them和they。C选项符合语境。]
2.G [根据上文“Remember that they brought you into this world.”可知，本句承接上文继续说明，是父母把我们带到了这个世界，也就是说如果没有父母，我们可能仍然徘徊在一个未知世界的一个未知角落。上文中world可对应到G选项中“an unknown world”。G选项符合语境。]
3.D [根据上文“It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents.”以及后文“After this，share your feelings with your parents.”可知，本句属于过渡句，上文提到了和父母生气并没有帮助，后文提到了要和父母分享感受，由此可知，本句应当是在说明通过写下感受的方式来和父母沟通。后文中“share your feelings”可对应到D选项中“write down your feelings”。D选项符合语境。]
4.F [根据上文“It may seem as if you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want.”以及后文“Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.”可知，上文提到你没有得到自己想要的似乎很受罪，后文提到要理解父母，说明本句与上文构成转折，说明应当记住父母是在保护你、爱你，理解他们也是人，也会犯错。F选项符合语境。]
5.A [根据后文“Do things with your parents...spend as much time with them as you can.”可知，本句为本段主旨句，结合后文和父母一起做事情，可推知是建议陪伴父母。A选项“陪伴他们。”符合语境。]UNIT 2 课时测评作业四

Growing pains and gains
It’s not easy to grow up.Actually it’s far from easy.Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us.We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like.Sometimes we feel trapped,sometimes we are fearful,and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever.When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude(态度),we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked.They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano.At that time I hated music,just because it was what they wanted me to do.But looking back now,I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons.Music has enriched my life in so many ways.I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along,not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life.They’ve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying,so live life to its fullest!We are all going to experience growing pains,but they are just small pains in life.They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong.Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that.The future is ours!A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone!If we realize that these pains are just small bumps(凸块)on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
1.According to Paragraph 1,we learn that when we are young, .
life is full of joy
life is easy for us
we know we can stay young forever
we sometimes can’t do things we like
2.When the author was young,she was forced by her parents to .
take music lessons
turn gains into pains
look back on hardships
live a successful life by suffering a lot
3.What does the underlined phrase “to its fullest” mean
Directly. Completely.
Carefully. Terribly.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.
We all have to experience growing pains.
A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us.
Life without fear is a better choice for us.

课时测评作业一
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Sometimes，when Mr Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about pop culture，he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom，‘Hey，the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it？’” says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.” Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits(轨道).
Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as pop culture would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there，but there is a change happening，” says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and at more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now，” explains Mr Ballmer.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。作者通过实例引出了本文探讨的话题：与上代亲子关系相比较，现在的亲子关系更加和谐平等，并阐述了原因。
1.What does the underlined word “gulf” in the first paragraph mean
A.Difference. B.Argument.
C.Balance. D.Achievement.
答案 A [词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“‘There was just a complete gap in taste.’ Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，...”可推知，前几代的父辈与子女有代沟，具体表现在服装、发型、活动和期望等方面。由此可推知，音乐并不是唯一的分歧，gulf意为“区别，分歧”，故选A项。]
2.What is the change in today’s parent-child relationship
A.There is less parent-child activities.
B.There is more respect for parents from children.
C.There is a new equality between parents and children.
D.There is more strictness and authority on the part of parents.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句和最后一句以及第三段第一句中的“new equality”可知，当今的亲子关系中，代沟越来越小，父母和孩子之间有了信任，就像朋友一样，关系越来越平等，故选C项。]
3.Which word best describes Kerrie’s attitude to the change of the parent-child relationship
A.Interested. B.Supportive.
C.Indifferent. D.Concerned.
答案 D [观点态度题。根据第三段最后一句“In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents.”可知，Kerrie对这种关系的变化有些担心，故选D项。]
B
The clothes you wear.The food you eat.The color of your bedroom walls.Where you go and how you get there.The people you hang around with.What time you go to bed.What do these things have in common？You’re asking.They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.
As a kid，you didn’t have a say in everything；your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night.And it’s a good thing，too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.
But finally，kids grow up and become teens.And part of being a teen is developing your own identity—one that is separate from your parents’.But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions，your parents have a difficult time adjusting(调整).
In many families，it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents.And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments，because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe，no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions.It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles，though.In the meantime，focus on communicating with your parents.
Sometimes this can feel impossible—like they just don’t see your point of view and never will.But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.
Keep in mind，too，that your parents were teens once and that in most cases，they can relate to what you’re going through.
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。作者针对青少年成长中的烦恼，表达了自己的看法。
4.In the first two paragraphs，the writer .
A.complains that parents control kids too much
B.proves that kids have no right to give their opinions
C.describes how carefully parents look after kids
D.explains that it is necessary for parents to control kids
答案 D [推理判断题。第一段列举了父母控制孩子日常生活的几个例子，第二段作者表达观点：小时候从早上的饮食到晚上的睡衣，孩子自己没有发言权，一切由父母决定，这是好事，孩子本身就需要这份关爱，所以选D。]
5.A lot of fighting breaks out between teens and parents because .
A.parents aren’t used to losing control of kids
B.teens like to have everything decided
C.parents blame teens for not respecting them
D.teens are eager to develop their own identity
答案 A [推理判断题。第三段提到孩子从幼儿成长为青少年，有了自己的见解，做父母的一时难以调整心态，对孩子还不能放手；第四段中表明，此时对于孩子的一贯的关爱，在孩子看来有“管制”的感觉，于是出现矛盾冲突了。由此推理可知A项正确。]
6.In the writer’s opinion，parents control teens in order to .
A.prevent them from having their own ideas
B.protect them from being hurt
C.make them respect parents in the family
D.make sure that children have a good future
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“...your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe，no matter how old you are.”可知，不管孩子多大了，父母对孩子保护的心理不会改变。]
7.What might be the most suitable title of the passage
A.What Do Parents Control Their Children for
B.How Parents Take Care of Children
C.How to Get Rid of Your Parents’ Control
D.Why Do I Fight with Parents so Much
答案 D [标题归纳题。作者写本文的目的是帮助解决青少年在成长过程中与父母发生冲突的烦恼，针对为什么会发生如此多的冲突进行分析，并且表达了自己的看法。]
Ⅱ.七选五
You’ve decided your child is spoiled，and you want to do something about it. Is it too late？Not necessarily. Here are four tips from an expert for getting your child to behave well.
1 You’ve spoiled your child by giving him or her too much or too little. You can correct this by helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and to understand that not all good behavior is rewarded. 2 For example，at first，insist that your daughter put a few toys away before she gets a snack，and gradually increase the amount of work required for each reward.
Don’t overreact(反应过度) to crying. When children don’t get what they want，their natural behavior is to cry. If you react every time your child cries，you may be denying(拒绝给予) him or her an important chance to learn something. 3
Prepare for a fight. At the beginning，children’s demands will increase when they find out parents are not going to give them the new toys they want. When it happens，be careful not to give in just because the child shouts. 4
Stick with the program. Your child will probably be upset when you begin making changes. 5 It means the requirements are getting stricter and that your child is adjusting(适应). Remember：give it time，and don’t give up.
A.Cut down on rewards.
B.That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
C.Start out making changes slowly.
D.Rather，wait until the child calms down.
E.Don’t try to reason with him or her about the situation.
F.There is little doubt that things will get worse before they get better.
G.As a parent，you need to know when to comfort a child and when to simply walk away.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了如何纠正被宠坏的孩子的行为。
1.A [根据下文中的“helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and to understand that not all good behavior is rewarded”可知，本段内容和削减奖励有关。 ]
2.C [下文中的“gradually increase”呼应C项中的“making changes slowly”。]
3.G [此处是对上文不过度回应孩子哭闹的正确做法的阐述，G项承接上文，符合语境。]
4.D [由本段首句“Prepare for a fight.”和空前的“... not to give in just because the child shouts”可知，此处应介绍正确做法，D项符合语境。]
5.B [空前提到你的孩子可能会不高兴，空后说这意味着要求越来越严格，你的孩子正在适应，空处属于过渡句，说明这种状况未必是坏事，故选B。]UNIT 2 课时测评作业一

Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and at more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days,because life is more difficult to understand or deal with,but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now,” explains Mr Ballmer.

The clothes you wear.The food you eat.The color of your bedroom walls.Where you go and how you get there.The people you hang around with.What time you go to bed.What do these things have in common You’re asking.They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.
As a kid,you didn’t have a say in everything;your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night.And it’s a good thing,too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.
But finally,kids grow up and become teens.And part of being a teen is developing your own identity—one that is separate from your parents’.But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions,your parents have a difficult time adjusting(调整).
In many families,it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents.And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments,because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe,no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions.It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles,though.In the meantime,focus on communicating with your parents.
Sometimes this can feel impossible—like they just don’t see your point of view and never will.But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.
Keep in mind,too,that your parents were teens once and that in most cases,they can relate to what you’re going through.

Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
You’ve decided your child is spoiled,and you want to do something about it. Is it too late Not necessarily. Here are four tips from an expert for getting your child to behave well.
1 You’ve spoiled your child by giving him or her too much or too little. You can correct this by helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and to understand that not all good behavior is rewarded. 2 For example,at first,insist that your daughter put a few toys away before she gets a snack,and gradually increase the amount of work required for each reward.
Don’t overreact(反应过度) to crying. When children don’t get what they want,their natural behavior is to cry. If you react every time your child cries,you may be denying(拒绝给予) him or her an important chance to learn something. 3
Prepare for a fight. At the beginning,children’s demands will increase when they find out parents are not going to give them the new toys they want. When it happens,be careful not to give in just because the child shouts. 4
Stick with the program. Your child will probably be upset when you begin making changes. 5 It means the requirements are getting stricter and that your child is adjusting(适应). Remember:give it time,and don’t give up.
A.Cut down on rewards.
B.That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
C.Start out making changes slowly.
D.Rather,wait until the child calms down.
E.Don’t try to reason with him or her about the situation.
F.There is little doubt that things will get worse before they get better.
G.As a parent,you need to know when to comfort a child and when to simply walk away.
