Question

Recently a specialist(專家) in teenager studies does some research on teenage problems. He thinks parents shouldn’t be blamed of themselves because there is nothing they can do to deal with the teenage problem. Whatever they do, sometimes a wonderful, kind and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, should stand up, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman whenever anyone entered the room. I saw him last week when I visited them. Lying on the sofa, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in. His mother was angry. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She said that she would like to throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress, it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” Her parents are now very sad. Probably nothing is wrong with the parents.

【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段“Recently a specialist(專家) in teenager studies does some research on teenage problems.”描述可知，這篇文章的作者是研究年輕人的專家。故選A。
【小題2】詞義猜測(cè)題。It出現(xiàn)在第二段的段首，應(yīng)該指代上文第一段的最后一句話“Whatever they do, sometimes a wonderful, kind and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal”，即孩子從好變壞的情況。故選A。
【小題3】判斷推理題。根據(jù)短文第二段“One strict mother insisted that her son, should stand up, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman ”以及其后的細(xì)節(jié)描述和該段最后一句話“He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”可以看出：一位嚴(yán)厲的母親想把她的孩子培養(yǎng)成紳士，但是她的孩子后來(lái)對(duì)客人的表現(xiàn)卻是很不禮貌。故選D。
【小題4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文“arents shouldn’t be blamed of themselves because there is nothing they can do to deal with the teenage problem”的描述就表明了作者的觀點(diǎn)，父母不應(yīng)當(dāng)總是為此事而責(zé)怪自己。應(yīng)當(dāng)采取措施面對(duì)這個(gè)事情。然后又用了“ Probably nothing is wrong with the parents.”作總結(jié)，表明父母不得不接受這個(gè)不好的事實(shí)。故選A。
考點(diǎn)：教育類短文閱讀。
