【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 conflict between neighboring countries, the parentteen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do? Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents39。 point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents39。 plete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped. In this article, I39。ll describe three nowin situations that monly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first nowin situation is quarrel on unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen39。s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child39。s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn39。t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to mand respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they39。ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.（1）Why does the author pare the parent teen war to a border conflict? A.Both can continue for generations.B.Both are about where to draw the line.C.Neither has any clear winner.D.Neither can be put to an end.（2）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? teens blame their parents for starting the conflict. teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict. teens accuse their parents of misleading them. teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.（3）Parents and teens want to be right because they want to__________. orders to the other more than the other respect from the other the other to behave properly（4）What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? for the parentteen conflicts of the parentteen war to the parentteen problems of the parentteen relationship【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）C（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，對(duì)于父母來(lái)說，撫養(yǎng)一個(gè)十幾歲的孩子就像是打一場(chǎng)持久戰(zhàn)，但是是一場(chǎng)沒有贏家的持久戰(zhàn)。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Like a border conflict between neighboring countries ,the parentteen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?”可知和鄰國(guó)之間的邊界紛爭(zhēng)一樣，兩代人之間的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)是關(guān)于界限的：我所能控制的和你所做的之間的界限。選B。 （2）考查句義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第二段中的“From the parents39。 point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents39。 plete unreasonableness.”可知，從父母的觀點(diǎn)來(lái)看，他們之間斗爭(zhēng)的唯一原因就是他們的青春期的孩子的完全不講道理。劃線句子意為:青少年也正好是同樣的方式看待的，只是正好相反的，也就是在孩子們看來(lái)，斗爭(zhēng)的原因完全是他們的父母蠻不講理。選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Third , needing to be right ,It doesn39。t matter what the topic is –politics. The laws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong , for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to mand respect”可知，他們爭(zhēng)論的話題是什么不重要，重要的是他們要證明自己是對(duì)的，而對(duì)方是不對(duì)的，從而贏得尊重。選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)由最后一段中的“In this article, I39。ll describe three nowin situations that monly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.”可知，在這篇文章中，作者將描述三種通常會(huì)引起青少年和父母之間斗爭(zhēng)的情形，然后提出幾種解決的方法。最后一段介紹了三種情形，所以接下來(lái)討論的該是解決的方法了。選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，句義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 A Harvard study of their graduates over thirty years found that there were only a small percentage (3%) of them who actually wrote down their goalsand these were the most successful! You can be certain that every one of those students had repeatedly heard the value of goal setting. Yet only 3% actually wrote down their goals consistently. Imagine what you can do if you both write down your goals and, then, focus on them consistently, until they are acplished! What is it that causes the New Year39。s Resolution Syndrome? People make resolutions, work hard at them for a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and then forget them. Next year, they make the same New Year39。s resolutions. That is the syndrome. So why do so many people do it? They may be making goals that are too global, and too unrealistic. The elephant analogy (比喻) is still the best one I know of to illustrate good goal setting. How do you eat an elephant? One spoonful at a time. So it is with goals. Make spoon size goals and acplish them easily. Once you39。ve mastered this, get a bigger spoon! You may have too many people in your life who consciously or subconsciously are unwilling or unable to support you to reach your goals. Surround yourself with people who want you to have what you want for yourself. Support each other and you39。ll all achieve your highest goals. We must be careful not to confuse busyness with progress. Be selective about how you use your time and what you focus on. Success often es when you know what to leave out, rather than what to include in your life. Goal setting is like the pig and chicken who were out for a walk in town early one morning. The chicken became really excited when she saw a sign that said Ham amp。 Eggs, $. She said to the pig, Look, we39。ve got double billing again. The pig grunted and said, That39。s all right for you to say. For you, it39。s all in a day39。s work. For me, it39。s total mitment. Goal setting is all in a day39。s work. Goal achievement is total mitment.（1）What can
