Ⅱ. Grammar and Vocabulary (32’)

Section A

Directions: After reading the sentence or the passage, fill in the blanks by using the given word in the bracket to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

21. My uncle and my aunt ______ (marry) for almost a century before they passed away.

22. Rain forests ______ (cut) at such a speed that they will disappear from the earth in the near future.

25. In his diary he insisted he was innocent and suggested the police ______ (investigate) the case thoroughly.

Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur (诋毁) on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the teenagers see that they (26) ______ (annoy). They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some unpleasant remark about the friends’ parents. Such a loss of dignity and attack on childish behavior on the part of the adults deeply shocks the teenagers, and makes them decide that in future they will not talk to their parents about the places or people they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they (27) ______ (bring) this on themselves.

Disillusionment (醒悟) with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable.

Most children have such a high ideal of their parents, (28) ______ the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belief their children usually have in their character and correctness, and how much this faith means to a child. If parents (29) ______ (prepare) for this teen-aged reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child (30) ______ (grow) up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by offending and resisting it. The teenager, with his passion for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong, or ignorant, or even that has been unfair or unjust. What the child can’t forgive is the parents’ refusal (31) ______ (admit) these charges if the child knows them to be true.

Victorian parents believed that they kept their dignity by retreating (伪装) behind an unreasoning authoritarian attitude; In fact they did nothing of the kind, but children were then too frightened to let them know how they really (32) ______ (feel). Today we tend to go to the other extreme, but on the whole this is a healthier attitude both for the child and the parent. It is always wiser and safer to face up to reality, however painful it may be at the moment.
