It is good for you to have conversations with your parents. One of the biggest problems of parent-child communication is generational differences in communication. The newer generations often reach out to others through technology such as text messages, online chats or emails. Although the older generation is catching on, most still prefer a personal conversation or phone call. Consider that your parents’ generation has a stronger need for face-to-face conversation. Take the time to sit down and have a few minutes of conversation with them every day. Meaningful conversations allow you to truly understand one another. If your parents ask about your day, try to say more than a simple “fine” or “okay”. Don’t just talk about the difficult things. Don’t talk to your parents only when you have a problem. Talk to them about your everyday life and funny experiences. Ask them to share how their day goes. Take the time to learn more about your parents. You can start by asking other family members, such as your aunt, uncle and grandparents, for stories of your parents’ past. This knowledge about their history will give you more things to discuss. Be open and honest with your parents. If you make a mistake, you are probably afraid of how your parents will react (反应) when they know it. Bring it up to your parents and they will understand and help you. Bottling up feelings can make the relationship (关系) between you and your parents become worse. 27. Which shows the generational differences in communication? A. The older generation spend more time chatting online. B. It is more common for the newer generation to text messages. C. The newer generation have more face-to-face communication. D. It is more difficult for the older generation to have personal conversations. 28. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________. A. when you should talk about difficult things with your parents B. how you can know your parents better C. why you need to communicate more with your parents D. what you can talk about with your parents 29. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. we should answer our parents’ questions with a simple word B. it is better for our parents to learn about other family members C. we need to have meaningful conversations with our parents D. our mistakes make our relationship with our parents worse 【答案】27. B 28. D 29. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了如何有效地与父母沟通，并给出了一些建议。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The newer generations often reach out to others through technology such as text messages, online chats or emails.”可知，新一代人更常用短信、在线聊天或电子邮件等技术手段与他人联系。故选B。 【28题详解】 段落大意题。根据“Don’t just talk about the difficult things. Don’t talk to your parents only when you have a problem. Talk to them about your everyday life and funny experiences.”可知，本段主要讲述了可以和父母谈论什么。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Meaningful conversations allow you to truly understand one another.”和“Talk to them about your everyday life and funny experiences.”可知，我们需要与父母进行有意义的对话。故选C。 D It can be easy to spend a lot of time online, but it is important for you to know how often and why you go online. It can help you work out a healthier and happier balance (平衡) with time offline. Being online should improve our lives not control them. If you always feel you need to check your mobile phones, it is probably time to take a break. Too much time online can make your study more difficult and it is bad for your health. It is important to remember that if you are constantly taking photos or chatting online, it can be hard to keep track of what is going on around you. This might have a serious influence on your connections with the people beside you, even if you don’t want to make them feel like you are not interested in them. Take breaks from the apps (应用程序) and games. You don’t need to stop using them, just trying turning off notifications during study hours, or setting time limits. You can consider which online activities you can do offline. Take a careful look at what online activities can become offline activities. For example, an online game can become in-person with a friend or family member instead. Of course, not everything has to be offline or online all the time. It is good for you to set boundaries (界限) with your friends. If your friend calls you in the middle of the night, or messages you when you are doing your homework, and you don’t see their messages until you are back online. Habits can be hard to break, but we can retrain our brains. Sometimes, just paying attention to the possible influences can help us know when it is time to make some changes. Talk with someone about it. Talking about how you feel with a family member or your friend may help you work out a plan for breaking old habits. They can also encourage you to stick to the plan. 30. You may spend too much time online when you ________. A. take breaks from online games B. keep checking your mobile phone for messages C. take a few photos with your mobile phone D. turn on notifications after you finish your homework 31. The words “keep track of” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to ________. A. manage to stay away from B. decide to agree with C. remember to wait for D. continue to know about 32 The writer probably agrees that ________. A. it is easier for us to stop using apps when we have more time B. online activities bring us more in-person connections than offline activities C. conversations about boundaries with friends help us have less online time D. it is important to pay attention to the possible influences of setting time limits 33. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Get to Know Others’ Online Habits B. Enjoy Your Online Activities C. Stick to Your Online Plan D. Manage Your Time Online 【答案】30. B 31. D 32. C 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了如何合理安排上网时间。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you always feel you need to check your mobile phones, it is probably time to take a break. Too much time online can make your study more difficult and it is bad for your health.”可知，不停检查手机上的信息时，可能会花太多时间，故选B。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It is important to remember that if you are constantly taking photos or chatting online, it can be hard to keep track of what is going on around you.”可知，如果不停地拍照或上网聊天，就很难了解周围发生的事情。故选D。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If your friend calls you in the middle of the night, or messages you when you are doing your homework, and you don’t see their messages until you are back online.”可知，和朋友们谈论界限的问题，可以帮助我们节省线上时间。故选C。 【33题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“It can be easy to spend a lot of time online, but it is important for you to know how often and why you go online. It can help you work out a healthier and happier balance (平衡) with time offline.”可知，本文主要讲述了如何合理安排上网时间。故选D。 四、阅读表达 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you like reading detective stories?

B When Mr. and Mrs. Smith went travelling, they asked the Brown family next door to look after their vegetable garden while they were away. The Browns were happy to help and their son Jim enjoyed watering the kale (羽衣甘蓝). When the Smiths returned home, Mrs. Smith stopped over at the Browns’ house, and held a basket of kale. “Your family was such a help!” Mrs. Smith said, “I wanted to give you some of our kale to say thank you.” “Thank you. But we don’t know much about kale. I couldn’t imagine what we would do with it.” Mrs. Brown said. “No problem!” Mrs. Smith said. “I’m sure you can cook delicious dishes with it!” In the Browns’ kitchen, the family looked at the kale. “So we have to eat all of that kale?” Jim asked. “I think so,” Mrs. Brown said. “But none of us like vegetables like this,” Jim said. Mr. and Mrs. Brown tried to use the kale. Mr. Brown boiled the kale and served it as a side dish. No one liked it. Mr. and Mrs. Brown decided they were going to get creative. They started to look up interesting recipes (菜谱). That night, Mr. Brown prepared turkey burgers with kale inside them. “Best burger ever!” Jim said. Still, there was much more kale left. The following day, Mr. and Mrs. Brown went to work on another meal—lasagna (卤汁面条). The kale lasagna was so good that Mr. and Mrs. Brown invited the Smiths to come for dinner. “What a wonderful idea!” Mrs. Brown said. “We never know what to do with all this kale!” 24.

It is good for you to have conversations with your parents. One of the biggest problems of parent-child communication is generational differences in communication. The newer generations often reach out to others through technology such as text messages, online chats or emails. Although the older generation is catching on, most still prefer a personal conversation or phone call. Consider that your parents’ generation has a stronger need for face-to-face conversation. Take the time to sit down and have a few minutes of conversation with them every day. Meaningful conversations allow you to truly understand one another. If your parents ask about your day, try to say more than a simple “fine” or “okay”. Don’t just talk about the difficult things. Don’t talk to your parents only when you have a problem. Talk to them about your everyday life and funny experiences. Ask them to share how their day goes. Take the time to learn more about your parents. You can start by asking other family members, such as your aunt, uncle and grandparents, for stories of your parents’ past. This knowledge about their history will give you more things to discuss. Be open and honest with your parents. If you make a mistake, you are probably afraid of how your parents will react (反应) when they know it. Bring it up to your parents and they will understand and help you. Bottling up feelings can make the relationship (关系) between you and your parents become worse. 27. Which shows the generational differences in communication? A. The older generation spend more time chatting online. B It is more common for the newer generation to text messages. C. The newer generation have more face-to-face communication. D. It is more difficult for the older generation to have personal conversations. 28. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________. A. when you should talk about difficult things with your parents B. how you can know your parents better C. why you need to communicate more with your parents D. what you can talk about with your parents 29. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. we should answer our parents’ questions with a simple word B. it is better for our parents to learn about other family members C. we need to have meaningful conversations with our parents D. our mistakes make our relationship with our parents worse D It can be easy to spend a lot of time online, but it is important for you to know how often and why you go online. It can help you work out a healthier and happier balance (平衡) with time offline. Being online should improve our lives, not control them. If you always feel you need to check your mobile phones, it is probably time to take a break. Too much time online can make your study more difficult and it is bad for your health. It is important to remember that if you are constantly taking photos or chatting online, it can be hard to keep track of what is going on around you. This might have a serious influence on your connections with the people beside you, even if you don’t want to make them feel like you are not interested in them. Take breaks from the apps (应用程序) and games. You don’t need to stop using them, just trying turning off notifications during study hours, or setting time limits. You can consider which online activities you can do offline. Take a careful look at what online activities can become offline activities. For example, an online game can become in-person with a friend or family member instead. Of course, not everything has to be offline or online all the time. It is good for you to set boundaries (界限) with your friends. If your friend calls you in the middle of the night, or messages you when you are doing your homework, and you don’t see their messages until you are back online. Habits can be hard to break, but we can retrain our brains. Sometimes, just paying attention to the possible influences can help us know when it is time to make some changes. Talk with someone about it. Talking about how you feel with a family member or your friend may help you work out a plan for breaking old habits. They can also encourage you to stick to the plan. 30. You may spend too much time online when you ________. A. take breaks from online games B. keep checking your mobile phone for messages C. take a few photos with your mobile phone D. turn on notifications after you finish your homework 31. The words “keep track of” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to ________. A. manage to stay away from B. decide to agree with C. remember to wait for D. continue to know about 32. The writer probably agrees that ________. A it is easier for us to stop using apps when we have more time B. online activities bring us more in-person connections than offline activities C. conversations about boundaries with friends help us have less online time D. it is important to pay attention to the possible influences of setting time limits 33. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Get to Know Others’ Online Habits B. Enjoy Your Online Activities C. Stick to Your Online Plan D. Manage Your Time Online 四、阅读表达 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you like reading detective stories? I liked reading them when I was a child I began to read detective stories at the age of eight.
