Question

【題目】 Is there anything that could help parents understand their kids better? More than 8,000 kids answered this question in an online survey by Time for Kids and Kids Health. Org.

Many kids — two out of three — said they _______ their parents. But that doesn’t mean they _______ disagree. In fact, most kids reported _______ with their parents on occasion(偶爾). Some even reported that their arguments included shouting at each other.

“It’s certainly _______ to disagree and argue,” says D’Arcy Lyness, a child psychologist(心理學(xué)家). “But it’s also important to learn how to do so politely.”

It is not _______ that three out of four kids said they had lied(撒謊) to their parents sometimes. Many said they lied _______ they wouldn’t get in trouble or disappoint their parents. According to Lyness, lying can have bad _______. If kids lie when they’re young, they might continue a pattern of lying even as adults.

Telling the truth, on the other hand, shows maturity(成熟). But older kids actually lie more _______ than younger ones. Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lied more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close and not getting along as well with their _______.

According to Lyness, these feelings are common. As kids become more ________, they have more areas of disagreement with their parents. But it doesn’t have to be that way. “Kids and parents get along differently at each part of the journey,” she says. “As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to change.”

本文是一篇說明文，通過一個(gè)對8000多位孩子進(jìn)行的在線調(diào)查結(jié)果來幫助家長更好地了解自己的孩子。

【1】句意：三分之二的孩子說他們和父母相處得很好。

考查動(dòng)詞短語。A. got along with與……和睦相處；B. kept away from遠(yuǎn)離；C. looked after照顧。根據(jù)下文But that doesn’t mean they never disagree可知，此處意思與下文相反，故此處說的是三分之二的孩子說他們和父母相處得很好。A選項(xiàng)符合句意，故選A。

【2】句意：但這并不意味著他們從不反對。

考查副詞。A. always總是；B. often經(jīng)常；C. never絕不。根據(jù)上文Many kids — two out of three — said they got along with their parents可知，大多數(shù)孩子都說自己與父母相處得很好，本句連詞But提示此處意思與上文相反，故此處說的是但這并不意味著他們從不反對。C選項(xiàng)符合句意，故選C。

【3】句意：事實(shí)上，大多數(shù)孩子都會(huì)偶爾和父母吵架。

考查動(dòng)名詞。A. arguing爭論；B. talking談?wù)摚?/span>C. competing競爭。根據(jù)下文Some even reported that their arguments included shouting at each other可知，此處說的是大多數(shù)孩子都會(huì)偶爾和父母吵架。A選項(xiàng)符合句意，故選A。

【4】句意：反對和爭論當(dāng)然是正常的。

考查形容詞。A. unusual不尋常的；B. normal正常的；C. different不同的。根據(jù)下文But it’s also important to learn how to do so politely可知，重要的是學(xué)會(huì)怎么去禮貌地（反對和爭論），可推斷兒童心理學(xué)家D’Arcy Lyness認(rèn)為反對和爭論是正常的。B選項(xiàng)符合句意，故選B。

【5】句意：不足為奇的是，四分之三的孩子說他們有時(shí)會(huì)對父母撒謊。

考查形容詞。A. surprise驚訝，名詞；B. surprised驚訝的；C. surprising令人吃驚的。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)，空格處應(yīng)填入形容詞作is的表語，A選項(xiàng)可排除。surprised的主語通常是人，surprising的主語是物，本句真正主語為that引導(dǎo)的從句that three out of four kids said they had lied(撒謊) to their parents sometimes，指事物，故應(yīng)用surprising。故選C。

【6】句意：許多人說他們?nèi)鲋e是為了不惹麻煩或讓父母失望。

考查連詞詞組。A. such as例如；B. so that以便、為了；C. even if即使。根據(jù)下文they wouldn’t get in trouble or disappoint their parents可知，不惹麻煩或讓父母失望是他們?nèi)鲋e的目的，選項(xiàng)中只有so that可引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句，意為“以便、為了”，符合句意，故選B。

考查名詞。A. results結(jié)果；B. answers回答；C. notices通知。根據(jù)下文If kids lie when they’re young, they might continue a pattern of lying even as adults可知，如果孩子們小時(shí)候撒謊，他們可能會(huì)在成年后繼續(xù)撒謊，故此處說的是撒謊可能會(huì)帶來不良后果。A選項(xiàng)符合句意，故選A。

【8】句意：但是大一點(diǎn)的孩子比年紀(jì)小的孩子撒謊更多。

考查副詞。A. quickly迅速地；B. carefully仔細(xì)地；C. often常常。根據(jù)下文Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lied more可知，大孩子撒謊更多，故此處說的是大一點(diǎn)的孩子比年紀(jì)小的孩子撒謊更多。more often意為“更多的，更經(jīng)常地（指頻率）”，符合句意，故選C。

【9】句意：和父母相處得也不好。

第5小題涉及“-ed形容詞和-ing形容詞的區(qū)別”這一知識點(diǎn)。

-ed形容詞和-ing形容詞的區(qū)別在于：以-ed結(jié)尾的形容詞通常用于說明人，即主語是人用-ed形容詞；以-ing結(jié)尾的形容詞通常用于說明事物，即主語是物用-ing形容詞。例如：

bored 感到厭煩的 → boring 令人討厭的

excited 感到激動(dòng)的 → exciting 令人興奮的
