Question

3．Being Authoritative （由权威的） ParentsPhrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language．Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort，we might turn out children with bright futures．But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"？
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied．Many of the studies，conducted by Diana Baumrind，a famous psychologist at the University of California，Berkeley，have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way，who sets high expectations but gives her child independence．These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically，psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved，or controlling and more involved．Why is this parenting style so successful？
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children．Carol Dweck，a social psychologist at Stanford University，has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children．In a typical experiment，Dr．Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle．Most do so with little difficulty．But then Dr．Dweck tells some，but not all，of the kids how clever they are．As it turns out，the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles．They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving．
As the experiment suggests，praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence．Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart"．Dr．Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr．Baumrind，who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference （干涉） causes better academic and emotional results．
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident．If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk，you reduce her confidence．Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting．It is easier when they are young．The potential mistakes carry greater risks，and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children．

Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了"虎妈"，以及如今不同的父母对孩子不同的教育所造成的影响，研究发现父母应该给予孩子们独立，让他们独自解决问题，处理困难的难题，这样有助于他们的成长．

解答 D C B C
24：D 推理判断题，根据倒数第二段Dr．Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr．Baumrind，who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference （干涉） causes better academic and emotional results．Dweck教授的工作强烈支持了Baumrind的工作，Baumrind也发现合理地支持孩子的独立以及限制干涉会导致更好的学术及情感结果．可以推断虎妈会密切关注她的孩子们的经历，适度支持孩子，故选D．
25：C 推理判断题，根据第二段These"authoritative parents appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically，psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved，or controlling and more involved．这些权威性的父母会迎合父母干涉的最佳点，而且一般抚养的孩子学术上和心理上及社会上会表现更好--相比于那些父母不严格、干涉少或者是控制他们而且干涉过多．可知权威型父母抚养孩子的学习要更好，而控制风格的育儿可能会引起孩子更多的问题，故选C．
26：B 细节理解题，根据第四段As it turns out，the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles．They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving．结果表明没有被告知他们聪明的孩子在解决不断增加难度的难题时更加有动力，而且他们也在解决难题中表现出更高的自信心水平和更大的进步．可知过度夸奖让孩子更有动力去解决越来越难的困惑，他们也会充满信心，故选B．
27：C 细节理解题，根据最后一段Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting．It is easier when they are young．The potential mistakes carry greater risks，and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children．允许孩子犯错误是做父母的最大挑战之一，当他们（孩子）小时要容易些．潜在的错误带来更大的风险，做父母的一部分就是要为我们的孩子减少风险．可知父母应该允许他们的孩子从错误中学习，故选C．
