Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last
summer,Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son:suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents.“The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter.“She used to cuddle up(蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11,children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds.“In fact,parents are first on the list,”said Michael Riera,author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years,”Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first,then maybe their teachers,and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence,parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say,and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental break,for children also need freedom,though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend,not a manager,with their children is a better way to know them.
25.“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son . A.is always busy with his studies B.doesn’t want to be disturbed
C.keeps himself away from his parents D.begins to dislike his parents 答案C 解析根据第一段中“Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.”可知文章谈到的是孩子与家长(父母)的关系,故选C项。 26.What troubles Tina and Mark most is that . A.their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B.they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly C.they don’t know what to say to their daughter
D.their daughter talks with them only when she needs help 答案B 解析这是一道细节题,由第二段中的“The problem is figuring out which time is which.”可知,他们弄不懂孩子的心思,因为上文说了“Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.”。
27.Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph? A.Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B.Teenagers do not want to understand their parents. C.Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. D.Teenagers talk little about their own lives. 答案C 解析根据第一段可知,作者的主要意图是说“relationship between parents and their teenagers”,随着孩子们年龄的增长,令父母们最为担忧的是他们弄不懂孩子的心思,因此彼此的交流就少了。正如“They talk to their friends first,then maybe their teachers,and their parents last.”,所以the wall of silence指的是孩子不愿同父母交流这件事。 28.What can be learned from the passage?
A.Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B.Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. C.Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. D.Parents should try to understand their teenagers. 答案D 解析最后一段是文章的关键,作者提到解决问题有三大途径:一是“create chances to...”;二是“And they must give...”;三是“Another...is a better way to know them.”。因此,努力去理解孩子才是解决问题的办法。

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it,and to go to their offices or schools every day by train,car or bus,even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper.Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent.With the same money,one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then,in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working life.Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time on trains or buses,one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings,one can enjoy the fresh,clean air of the country.If one likes gardens,he/she can spend his/her free time digging,planting,watering and doing other jobs which are needed in a garden.Then,when the flowers and vegetables come up,one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of nature.
Some people,however,take no interest in country things:for them,happiness lies in the town,with its cinemas and theatres,beautiful shops and busy streets,dance-halls and
restaurants.Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live outside London.
29.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.People who love nature prefer to live outside the city.
B.All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.
C.Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.
D.Many nature lovers,though working in London,prefer to live outside the city. 答案B 解析由第一段中的“Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it”可知B项的表述是错误的。
30.With the same money needed for ,one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.
A.getting a small flat with a garden B.having a small flat with a garden C.renting a small flat without a garden D.buying a small flat without a garden 答案C 解析由第二段中的“Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent.With the same money,one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.”可知,在伦敦租一套不带花园的小公寓的钱就可以在乡下买个带花园的小房子。 31.When the garden is in blossom,the one has been rewarded. A.living in the country
B.having spent time working in the garden C.having a garden of his own
D.having been working hard in the office 答案B 解析第三段中的“when the flowers and vegetables come up,one has got the reward...”一句中的one指的是上文提到的“spend his/her free time digging,planting,watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden”的人,即在花园里劳作过的人。
32.People who think happiness lies in the city would feel that if they had to live outside London.
A.their life was meaningless B.their life was valuable
C.they didn’t deserve a happy life
D.they were not worthy of their happy life 答案A 解析由第四段中的“Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live outside London.”可知,如果这些人必须住在伦敦城外的话,他们会觉得生活没有意义。

I lost both of my parents in a tragic car accident when I was five.Fortunately,at that age a child doesn’t understand the finality of such an event.
Many years later,at the age of twenty-three,I was planning my wedding to Sheldon,who came from a complete loving family,the type I expect.Sheldon and I had already bought our first house with a large,beautifully landscaped yard.As the date grew closer and we took ownership of the house,we began to clean,arrange inside and outside.
The day before our wedding we were putting the final touches to the yard.We were so pleased with the neatness of it all.But one plant puzzled us.A rosebush located just outside our front door,was completely barren(不结果实的) of leaves or buds.It looked like it might be
dead,but since neither of us could be sure,we reluctantly(不情愿地) decided to keep it for the time being.
That same evening,after the dinner,I was too excited to sleep.Instead I decided I needed some quiet time to think about the wedding the next day.I went to the backyard and sat in the
warm,clear,star-filled night.It was there that I realized the only thing missing from my wedding day would be my parents.There had been no time to think of this until now and the thought filled me with sadness.After all,every girl dreams of having her father walk her down the aisle and her mother there to comfort her anxiety.Alone in the yard,I began speaking to my mom and dad,just as if I had known they were listening.
“Give me a sign on my wedding day to let me know you’re with me.”
The next day Sheldon’s excited voice repeatedly called my name.I rushed to join him at the front door.
“I can’t believe what I’m about to show you!”
He stood aside.The barren rosebush had two huge roses in full bloom.
There was no doubt in my mind that we were witnessing a miracle...a miracle of love. 33.What does the underlined word “touches” in the third paragraph mean? A.Small details. B.Strong feelings. C.Close connection. D.Much pressure. 答案A 解析根据后文的“We were so pleased with the neatness of it all.”可知,此处表示“我们”整理好了花园,包括细节部分。B项意为“强烈的感情”;C项意为“亲密的关系”;D项意为“很大的压力”,均不符合文义。
34.According to the passage,why did the rosebush confuse the writer? A.Because it was difficult to take care of. B.Because it had a sign of dying away. C.Because it grew in a wrong place. D.Because all of its leaves fell. 答案B 解析根据第三段中的“It looked liked it might be dead,but since neither of us could be sure”可知选B项。
35.The writer came to the yard that night to . A.relieve her pressure of life B.pray for her parents
C.see whether the rose grew
D.think about her wedding carefully
答案D 解析根据第四段中的“...I needed some quiet time to think about the wedding the next day.”可知选D项。
