Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many arguments teenagers have with their parents are about one thing: independence. As you get older, you’ll want to do more stuff on your own, without your mom and dad tagging along with you. The arguments generally start when your parents think you aren’t ready for extra responsibility while you think you are. Arguing with your parents isn’t the best solution at all, but the best solution is gaining trust from your parents. 【1】

●Understand that it’s not your parents who do not want you to have independence, they want the best for you and think you’re not ready or you’ll hurt yourself if you have the freedom to do whatever you want. Show your parents you can be sensible. 【2】If you can’t get home by 9:30, they’ll never let you out after 10:00.

●Agree with them some “friends time” and some “family time” so that they know you won’t be spending your whole weekend out with your friends. 【3】They won’t imagine you getting into trouble if they know how they are.

●【4】 They won’t feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what you’re up to. Call in and tell your parents that you’re OK from time to time. The less they worry about you, the more independence you’ll gain.

●【5】If they find out, all that trust will be destroyed and then you'll never get the extra independence you ever wanted.

A. Show your parents how independent you are.

B. Never lie to your parents about where you’re going.

C. Remember to ask for your parents’ help if you need it.

D. Always tell your parents where you are, and who you’re with.

E. Generally speaking, they won’t be worried about increasing your independence.

F. And before you enjoy the “friends time' introduce your friends to your parents.

G. Agree a time you’ll be home with your parents, and always make sure you keep to it.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】G

【3】F

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】文章主要讲述如何避免就个人独立问题与父母生争执。

【1】根据前一句the best solution is gaining trust from your parents.(最好的方法是获取父母的信任。)以及下一段第一句Understand that it’s not your parents who do not want you to have independence, they want the best for you and think you’re not ready or you’ll hurt yourself if you have the freedom to do whatever you want.可知，父母不是不想让孩子独立，而是不想让孩子受伤害。所以此处起承接作用，E项“一般来说，他们不会担心增加你的独立性。”符合语境。

【2】根据后句的回家时间限定可知，此处应该表示与父母约好回家的时间。故选G项。

【3】根据本段的主题句Agree with them some “friends time” and some “family time” so that they know you won’t be spending your whole weekend out with your friends.可知，此段表明要处理好与朋友相处和与家人相处的时间分配。故选F项。

【4】根据后句They won’t feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what you’re up to.可知，如果父母知道你目前的状况，你在哪里，跟谁在一起，他们就不会不让你出去，故选D。

【5】根据后句If they find out, all that trust will be destroyed and then you’ll never get the extra independence you ever wanted.可知，此处表示不能毁掉父母对你的信任，所以不能撒谎。故选B。
