A
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson,Arizona.He moved there a few years ago,and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall,handsome,successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children.As a child I loved him,
as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bad about him.He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was.Whenever I went out with him on weekends,I used to struggle to think up things to say,feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit,we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe.We walked along that afternoon,did some shopping,ate at the street table,and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions.Gone was my father's critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules.Who was this person I knew as my father,who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around?What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.Although our times together became easier over the years,I never felt closer to him at that moment.After so many years,I'm at last seeing another side of my father.And in doing so,I'm delighted with my new friend.My dad,in his new home in Arizona,is back to me from where he is.

1.Why did the author feel bad about her father as a young adult? A.He was silent most of the time. B.He was too proud of himself. C.He did not love his children. D.He expected too much of her.
D [细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful”as he was.可知,作者小时候感觉爸爸不好是因为爸爸对她要求很高。选D。]
2.When the author went out with her father on weekends,she would feel . A.nervous C.excited
B.sorry D.safe
A [推理判断题。根据第二段中Whenever I went out with him on weekends,I used to struggle to think up things to say,feeling on guard.可知每次和父亲一起外出度周末,她都非常紧张。on guard为固定短语,意为“警戒”。选A。]
3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson? A.More critical. B.More unhappy. C.Gentle and friendly.
D.Strict and hard-working.
C [推理判断题。根据文章第三段和第四段的描述可知,作者的爸爸其实也很温和、友善。从第三段结尾的几个反问句可以知道。第四段中作者感到和爸爸成了朋友。选C。]
4.The best title of this passage probably is . A.Our good times
B.My father is back to me C.My childhood D.My earliest memories
B [推理判断题。文中的new friend指的是作者的爸爸。作者以前一直以为爸爸是个严厉、苛刻的人,和他相处时,总是感到惧怕和紧张,但是在到了Tucson,和爸爸接触之后才看到爸爸友善的一面,所以作者感到她有了一个新朋友,选B。]
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(早餐) you ate in the morning to the pajamas(睡衣) 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】 本文是一篇议论文。作者针对青少年成长中的烦恼,表达了自己的看法。 5.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
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。]
6.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
A [推理判断题。第三段提到孩子从幼儿成长为青少年了,有了自己的见解,遇事要自己做决定了,孩子逐渐长大,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。]
7.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
B [细节理解题。根据第四段信息句“...your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe,no matter how old you are.”不管孩子多大了,父母对孩子保护的心理不会改变。]
8.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?
