2.Passage 2It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems—and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often misunderstand their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often anger their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their intention. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles anger their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style. and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they do approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But this way of looking at things ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.26. The author is primarily addressing _______.A. teachersB. teenagersC. parentsD. authorities

  • 第1题:

    Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.

    Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.

    Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.

    Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.

    Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it

    1). Which of the following statements is not based on the passage?

    A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.

    B. Television has much influence on children.

    C. Both parents and their children like watching educational television.

    D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.

    2). In what ways do children suffer from television?

    A. They become the victims of social violence.

    B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.

    C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.

    D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.

    3). Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ______

    A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertising

    B. commercials teach children alphabet and numbers

    C. commercials help to sell products

    D. they don’t like commercials

    4). Educational television is widely appreciated because _____

    A. it does have the same commercials as others

    B. it offers programs for both children and their parents

    C. many parents like the programs it offers for their children

    D. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school

    5). Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

    A. Watching Too Much Television Is Harmful to Young Minds.

    B. Television Is More Harmful than Educational.

    C. Television’s Influence on Children.

    D. More Education Television.

    The Privileged Children

    Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
    Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
    It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
    "But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
    Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

    According to the passage,children of rich families_______.
    A:enjoy traveling
    B:can buy love
    C:usually commit suicide
    D:are not always happy

    答案:D
    解析:
    从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担,从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游,但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误:文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误:第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀,却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
    文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处,但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
    选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过,只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
    silver spoon是一个固定说法,并不真是指银子做的勺子,而是指财富,如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
    文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”,而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的,因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。

  • 第4题:

    Text 2 With so much focus on children’s use of screens,it's easy for parents to forget about their own screen use.“Tech is designed to really suck on you in,”says Jenny Radesky in her study of digital play,"and digital products are there to promote maximal engagement.It makes it hard to disengage,and leads to a lot of bleed-over into the family routine.”Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by giving mother-child pairs a food-testing exercise.She found that mothers who sued devices during the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbal interactions with their children.During a separate observation,she saw that phones became a source of tension in the family.Parents would be looking at their emails while the children would be making excited bids for their attention.Infants are wired to look at parents’faces to try to understand their world,and if those faces are blank and unresponsive—as they often are when absorbed in a device-it can be extremely disconcerting foe the children.Radesky cites the“still face experiment”devised by developmental psychologist Ed Tronick in the 1970s.In it,a mother is asked to interact with her child in a normal way before putting on a blank expression and not giving them any visual social feedback;The child becomes increasingly distressed as she tries to capture her mother’s attention."Parents don't have to be exquisitely parents at all times,but there needs to be a balance and parents need to be responsive and sensitive to a child’s verbal or nonverbal expressions of an emotional need,"says Radesky.On the other hand,Tronick himself is concerned that the worries about kids'use of screens are born out of an“oppressive ideology that demands that parents should always be interacting”with their children:“It’s based on a somewhat fantasized,very white,very upper-middle-class ideology that says if you’re failing to expose your child to 30,000 words you are neglecting them.”Tronick believes that just because a child isn’t learning from the screen doesn’t mean there’s no value to it-particularly if it gives parents time to have a shower,do housework or simply have a break from their child.Parents,he says,can get a lot out of using their devices to speak to a friend or get some work out of the way.This can make them feel happier,which lets then be more available to their child the rest of the time.
    Radesky’s cites the“still face experiment”to show that_____

    A.it is easy for children to get used to blank expressions
    B.verbal expressions are unnecessary for emotional exchange
    C.children are insensitive to changes in their parents’mood
    D.parents need to respond to children's emotional needs

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据题干关键词“still face experiment”可以定位到第三段第二、三、四句,其中第三句介绍了这个实验的过程和发现,指出母亲由正常交流变得面无表情时,孩子为吸引母亲关注变得越来越苦恼,第四句中罗德斯基点评父母应该对孩子情感需求的言语或非言语表达足够敏感并有所反应,由此可知,“静止面部实验”表明父母应该回应孩子的情感需求,正确答案为D。

    此句意为“……这样与协商任何关于这样的行为的讨价还价无异。”A项 dealing意为“处理”;D项arranging意为“安排,排列”;只有B选项negotiating意为“谈判,协商”与句意相符。故选B。

    Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother

    In general,I think Western parenting gives children too much freedom at too young an age.The average American child spends almost 70 percent more time watching television than attending school.In the recent PISA international tests,the US came out an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math一with Shanghai children ranked No 1.Western children have alarming rates of alcohol and drug abuse and teenage pregnancy,too.On the other hand,American universities continue to be the envy of the world,and the US excels at teaching creativity,innovation and leadership.
    What are the lessons for China then?Here are a few things China may be able to learn from the West.
    First,while children in the West have too much choice,their counterparts in China may have too little.In between school,tutoring and lessons,many Chinese children work nonstop,getting little opportunity to have fun with friends,explore on their own and discover what they truly enjoy.What I learned is that as children grow up,parents should listen to their choices more carefully and gradually
    give them more freedom to pursue their own passions.
    Second,Chinese parents should pay more attention to their children's individual personalities. Every child is different. So depending on children's natural predispositions(秉性),different career paths will make them happy. Some people may find it more fulfilling to become a photographer or fashion designer instead of a doctor. If Chinese parents become more open-minded in what they consider"success",it may help lessen the intense competition and pressure that many Chinese children feel.
    Finally,Chinese parents are good at getting their children to memorize,practice and drill一skills I believe the West needs more of一but they should also find ways to encourage creativity and initiative.My daughters were lucky because my husband taught them the value of independent thinking. He always asked"why".Just because someone told you so,how do you know it's right?
    Parenting is the hardest job I've ever had.When Lulu rebelled and I began questioning everything I'd done.I feel very lucky that I adjusted in time一today my daughters and I are close friends一and I wanted to share my story with other mothers,because we are all struggling with the same problem:how can we raise happy,strong,self-reliant children?

    The author has more than one children.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章第四段,作者提到“…different career paths will make them happy" ,只要考虑到孩子迥异的天性,不管什么样的职业都会使他们获得幸福,所以该判断正确。
    从第一章中间看到美国孩子在测试中处于“an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math",即科学和数学的排名都靠后,相反,上海孩子在两者均名列第一。所以,该判断不正确。
    文第五段指出西方孩子需要更多的记忆和操练,但是,后面的“they (他们)”指的是中国孩子,即中国孩子需要“find ways to encourage creativity and initiative",鼓励他们的创造力。
    第四段的条件句“If Chinese parents become more open-minded ...”表明,中国家长思想还不够开明,所以,该判断正确。
    第一段的最后一句指出,美国大学“continue to be the envy of the world", 依然广受世人羡慕。
    倒数第二段中间用了“my daughters",这说明作者不只是一个孩子的母亲。
    尽管第三段开头说美国孩子“have too much choice",但是并没有具体说到他们可以自主选择是否上大学,所以选C。

    It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them.They have always complained,more or less justly,that their parents are out of touch with modern ways;that they are possessive and dominant;that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis;that they talk too much about certain problems;and that they have no sense of humor,at least in parent-hild relationships.
    I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
    Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles,in entertainments and music.This is not their motive.They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted.So they create a culture and society of their own.Then,if it turns out that their music or entertainments or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents,this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior,at least in a small way,and that they are leaders in style and taste.
    Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do.If they did approve,it looks as if you are betraying your own age group.But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog:you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things.It is natural enough after long years of childhood,when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ig而res the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
    If you plan to control your life,cooperation can be part of that plan.You can charm others,especially your parents,into doing things the way you want.You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative,so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

    In order to improve parent-hild relationship teenagers are advised to be_________.
    A:responsible
    B:independent
    C:cooperative
    D:obedient

    答案:C
    解析:
    推断题。本文前三段作者站在青少年的角度对于青少年和父母之间存在的一些问题表示深深的理解,后两段则是用直接对青少年说话的口气,文中出现很多以青少年为主语的you,例如:Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do…you are betraying your own age group…,you are assuming that you are the underdog : you can't win but at least you can keep your honor.因此本文的目标读者就是十几岁的青少年。
    推断题。第一段中提及:It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them.They have always complained,其中be critical of , blame , complain这些都是关键词,由此可知第一段主要是讲青少年对父母的批评。
    推断题。第三段最后一句:They feel they are superior , at least in a small way , and that they are leaders in style and taste.他们感觉自己高人一等,至少在一些次要的方面,而且感觉自己引领时尚和品位。由此可知,青少年之所以奇装异服,就是因为想引领时尚。
    推断题。第四段中提到:Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do…It is natural enough after long years of childhood , when you were completely under your parents' control.有时候你很叛逆和骄傲就是因为你不想让父母对你的行为表示赞成。······经过漫长的完全处于父母控制之下的童年时代之后,这么想也很自然。孩子们想要做些父母不赞成的事情的原因就是他们受够了漫长的童年时期受父母摆布的生活,想更加独立。因此正确答案选D。

    最后一段提到:If you plan to control your life,cooperation can be part of that plan.如果你计划控制自己的生活,合作将会是这个计划的一部分。由此可知作者建议青少年要学会合作。因此正确答案选C。

    About eight million school-age children are home alone after school.These are the hours when the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment with alco- hol,tobacco,and drugs. Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or two until a parent comes home,and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors.
    Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors among youths .One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less vio- lence even in poor neighborhoods.
    After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities to children and youths during their out-of-school time.In addition to helping youths make use of af-ter-school hours,after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relation-ships with adults.Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults, as well as good use of time,are very important for healthy development in youth.
    After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends' houses and play basketball when a parent or other responsible adult is at home.The programs can also be helpful for formal after-school activities,including"drop-in"programs that are provided by organizations.
    Despite the benefits of after-school programs,there are many reasons why some parents do not use them. Programs may be too expensive,of poor quality,or hard to join.Some older children and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.Parents may feel uncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the tradition-al child care years.However,research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.

    Why do many parents refuse to use after-school programs?
    A: The programs are just like child care programs.
    B: The programs offer no freedom to their children.
    C: The programs bring little benefit to parents and children.
    D: The programs can be expensive or poor in quality.

    答案:D
    解析:
    依据是第二段“Studies have been done to find out...resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods"。 A选项中的“avoid(避免)”用在这里不准确,根据第二段内容课后活动只能减少并没有说彻底避免危险行为及暴力行为的产生,因此不选A。根据第三段第一句话“很多活动会安排给学生们在课后参加”,所以他们并不是on their own (独自一人的),因此不选B。根据第三段第二句“...develop caring relationships with a-dults.”可知,并不是和同学之间,而是和成年人之间形成良好关系,因此不选C。


    依据是最后一段的前两句话“...there are many reasons why some parents...or hard to join",根据最后一段第三句“Some older children and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.”可以判断出,只是某些学生认为这样的活动类似于child care programs因此不喜欢,但并不是家长们拒绝课后活动项目的原因。因此不选A。根据最后一段第四句话可知,这些活动并不是不给孩子们任何自由,故不选B项。C选项和前面第二段所讲的“after-school programs resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods”矛盾,本身就不正确,更不是家长们拒绝课后活动的原因。


    根据第四段的第一句话可以得知,除了适合那种放学之后父母都不在家的孩子外,课后活动项目也同样适用于课后在朋友家打篮球,而家里会有一位父母或是其他成年人在场的情况,因此可以推断C是正确选项。文章中只说了学生会在朋友家“hang out”,并没有说“stay for a long time”,因此不选A。根据第三段最后-句话“...high-quality relationships with parents and other adults... are very important for healthy develop-ment in youth.”可以推断和父母亲以及成年人之间的高质量的关系对于年轻人的健康发展很重要,如果这种关系质量不高,那么可能会造成年轻人的不健康发展,因此不选 B。根据最后一段的第三句话可以得知,只是某些学生不喜欢这样的课后活动,并非D 选项中所说的那么绝对,因此不选D。


    根据最后一段倒数第二句可知,父母亲不确定到底可以给年龄较长已经过了托管年龄的孩子多大自由,可以判断父母亲并没打算让孩子们随心所欲,给他们彻底的自由,因此B选项的内容是不正确的。A选项的依据是第一段最后一句“...research sug-gests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors" ,C选项的依据是第三段第二句“In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours...", D选项的依据是第三段第一句“After-school programs can help to reduce crime and vio- lence...”。


    全文都在讲述after-school programs出现的必要性、作用、适合群体以及来自家长和学生的反应,因此最佳标题应该是After-school Programs。

    问答题
    练习1  Parents in China are always trying to help their children, even to make the most important decision for them, regardless of what the children really want, because parents believe it’s all for the benefit of their children. This has led to the result that the children’s growth and education tend to give way to their parents’ wishes. Once the parents decide to sign up an after school class for their children in order to increase their chance of being admitted to a good school, they will stick on their decision, even their children have no interest in it at all. In America, however, parents tend to respect their children, especially when making decisions. Perhaps it is commendable that Chinese parents lay much importance on education, but Chinese parents still need to keep the balance between the parents and children in the perspective of education as the American parents do.

    正确答案: 在中国,父母总是试图帮助他们的孩子,甚至为他们做重要的决定,而不管孩子想要什么,因为父母相信这样做是为了孩子好。结果,孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的愿望。一旦父母决定为他们的孩子报名参加一个课外班,以增加他们被好学校录取的机会,他们会坚持自己的决定,即使他们的孩子根本不感兴趣。然而在美国,父母往往尊重孩子的意见,尤其是在做决定的时候。也许中国父母非常重视教育是值得称赞的。但是,他们应该向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与孩子之间的关系。
    解析:
    本题考查的翻译要点有:①regardless of,即不管某种情况;②for the benefit of sb意为“为了某人好”;③give way to表示“屈从于”;④lay much importance on意为“非常重视”;⑤keep the balance between…and…意为“保持……与……之间的平衡”;⑥in the perspective of表示“在……方面,涉及……”。

    The Privileged Children

    Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
    Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
    It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
    "But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
    Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

    This article is written mainly to tell readers that_________.
    A:the rich are more likely to do away with themselves
    B:money can bring a lot of things,including love
    C:life is always happy for children of rich parents
    D:rich parents should realize what important in the family is love rather than money

    答案:D
    解析:
    从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担,从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游,但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误:文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误:第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀,却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
    文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处,但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
    选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过,只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
    silver spoon是一个固定说法,并不真是指银子做的勺子,而是指财富,如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
    文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”,而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的,因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。

  • 第15题:

    Children for whom school has no point
    Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them.Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
    Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths.First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves.Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
    In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom.It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children.Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
    Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
    Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.

    Part of the problem is__.

    A.that people feel very emotional
    B.that parents worry their children at school
    C.that these children think education is a waste of time
    D.that there are not enough police to pick up truants on the streets

    答案:C
    解析:
    第二段。最后一句中的positive experience意为“有用的知识”。全句大意是“对孩子来说,如果在学校学到的知识对他们有用,他们将愿意在学校学下去”,而不是去浪费时间。

  • 第16题:

    Text 2 With so much focus on children’s use of screens,it's easy for parents to forget about their own screen use.“Tech is designed to really suck on you in,”says Jenny Radesky in her study of digital play,"and digital products are there to promote maximal engagement.It makes it hard to disengage,and leads to a lot of bleed-over into the family routine.”Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by giving mother-child pairs a food-testing exercise.She found that mothers who sued devices during the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbal interactions with their children.During a separate observation,she saw that phones became a source of tension in the family.Parents would be looking at their emails while the children would be making excited bids for their attention.Infants are wired to look at parents’faces to try to understand their world,and if those faces are blank and unresponsive—as they often are when absorbed in a device-it can be extremely disconcerting foe the children.Radesky cites the“still face experiment”devised by developmental psychologist Ed Tronick in the 1970s.In it,a mother is asked to interact with her child in a normal way before putting on a blank expression and not giving them any visual social feedback;The child becomes increasingly distressed as she tries to capture her mother’s attention."Parents don't have to be exquisitely parents at all times,but there needs to be a balance and parents need to be responsive and sensitive to a child’s verbal or nonverbal expressions of an emotional need,"says Radesky.On the other hand,Tronick himself is concerned that the worries about kids'use of screens are born out of an“oppressive ideology that demands that parents should always be interacting”with their children:“It’s based on a somewhat fantasized,very white,very upper-middle-class ideology that says if you’re failing to expose your child to 30,000 words you are neglecting them.”Tronick believes that just because a child isn’t learning from the screen doesn’t mean there’s no value to it-particularly if it gives parents time to have a shower,do housework or simply have a break from their child.Parents,he says,can get a lot out of using their devices to speak to a friend or get some work out of the way.This can make them feel happier,which lets then be more available to their child the rest of the time.
    Radesky’s food-testing exercise shows that mothers’use of devices____

    A.takes away babies’appetite
    B.distracts children’s attention
    C.slows down babies’verbal development
    D.reduces mother-child communication

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据题干关键词food-testing exercise可以定位到第二段第一、二句。定位句说明,罗德斯基通过食物测试活动来研究就餐时间使用移动电话和平板的影响,结果发现在活动中使用这些设备的母亲与孩子之间的言语交流减少了20%,非言语交流减少了39%,由此可知,母亲使用电子设备会减少亲子间的交流,故正确答案为D。

    Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother

    In general,I think Western parenting gives children too much freedom at too young an age.The average American child spends almost 70 percent more time watching television than attending school.In the recent PISA international tests,the US came out an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math一with Shanghai children ranked No 1.Western children have alarming rates of alcohol and drug abuse and teenage pregnancy,too.On the other hand,American universities continue to be the envy of the world,and the US excels at teaching creativity,innovation and leadership.
    What are the lessons for China then?Here are a few things China may be able to learn from the West.
    First,while children in the West have too much choice,their counterparts in China may have too little.In between school,tutoring and lessons,many Chinese children work nonstop,getting little opportunity to have fun with friends,explore on their own and discover what they truly enjoy.What I learned is that as children grow up,parents should listen to their choices more carefully and gradually
    give them more freedom to pursue their own passions.
    Second,Chinese parents should pay more attention to their children's individual personalities. Every child is different. So depending on children's natural predispositions(秉性),different career paths will make them happy. Some people may find it more fulfilling to become a photographer or fashion designer instead of a doctor. If Chinese parents become more open-minded in what they consider"success",it may help lessen the intense competition and pressure that many Chinese children feel.
    Finally,Chinese parents are good at getting their children to memorize,practice and drill一skills I believe the West needs more of一but they should also find ways to encourage creativity and initiative.My daughters were lucky because my husband taught them the value of independent thinking. He always asked"why".Just because someone told you so,how do you know it's right?
    Parenting is the hardest job I've ever had.When Lulu rebelled and I began questioning everything I'd done.I feel very lucky that I adjusted in time一today my daughters and I are close friends一and I wanted to share my story with other mothers,because we are all struggling with the same problem:how can we raise happy,strong,self-reliant children?

    While considering success,Chinese parents are less open-minded.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章第四段,作者提到“…different career paths will make them happy" ,只要考虑到孩子迥异的天性,不管什么样的职业都会使他们获得幸福,所以该判断正确。
    从第一章中间看到美国孩子在测试中处于“an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math",即科学和数学的排名都靠后,相反,上海孩子在两者均名列第一。所以,该判断不正确。
    文第五段指出西方孩子需要更多的记忆和操练,但是,后面的“they (他们)”指的是中国孩子,即中国孩子需要“find ways to encourage creativity and initiative",鼓励他们的创造力。
    第四段的条件句“If Chinese parents become more open-minded ...”表明,中国家长思想还不够开明,所以,该判断正确。
    第一段的最后一句指出,美国大学“continue to be the envy of the world", 依然广受世人羡慕。
    倒数第二段中间用了“my daughters",这说明作者不只是一个孩子的母亲。
    尽管第三段开头说美国孩子“have too much choice",但是并没有具体说到他们可以自主选择是否上大学,所以选C。

    It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them.They have always complained,more or less justly,that their parents are out of touch with modern ways;that they are possessive and dominant;that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis;that they talk too much about certain problems;and that they have no sense of humor,at least in parent-hild relationships.
    I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
    Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles,in entertainments and music.This is not their motive.They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted.So they create a culture and society of their own.Then,if it turns out that their music or entertainments or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents,this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior,at least in a small way,and that they are leaders in style and taste.
    Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do.If they did approve,it looks as if you are betraying your own age group.But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog:you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things.It is natural enough after long years of childhood,when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ig而res the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
    If you plan to control your life,cooperation can be part of that plan.You can charm others,especially your parents,into doing things the way you want.You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative,so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

    A:have strong desire to be leaders in style and taste

    1.of改为to/toward attitude后使用介词to或toward表示“对……的态度”。
    2.know改为knew 此处讲的是维多利亚时期的情况,应用过去时态。
    3.with改为from
    suffer from是固定搭配,意为“受……之苦”。
    4.pull改为pulling 现在分词短语作状语,表示伴随。
    5.old-fashion改为old-fashioned 复合形容词的构成应是“形容词+名词-ed形式”。

    8.将has改为hasn’t 句意:没多久孩子们就发现了这一事实。可见助动词应用否定式。
    9.fly改为flying 此处为“with+ sth.+ v-ing”构成的独立分词结构,作状语。
