三、阅读理解
Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to bridge the generation gap(代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t accept your ideas if you are shouting at them. You can’t express(表达) yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a car.They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.

And my mom is much 2 (busy) than him because all the housework is left to her. Besides, she also has to look after the vineyard(葡萄园).

Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning. Today my topic is “Learning to Get Along with Our Parents”.
These days, most of us feel it is hard to get along with our parents.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you.
以下是对每个部分的详细解析: 一、 1. Instead :表示“相反,取而代之”,Mary 没有嘲笑我,相反,她还主动帮忙。 2. although :引导让步状语从句,“尽管”,尽管我告诉他不要去,他还是决定去了。 3. whatever :“无论什么”,在房间里你可以借任何你喜欢的东西。 4. so that :引导目的状语从句,“以便,为了”,他躲在门后以便他们看不到他。 5. until :“直到......才”,我们直到午夜才到达酒店。 二、 1. Why not :“Why not + 动词原形”表示“为什么不......”,是一种提建议的常用句型。 2. don't, try :“Why don't you + 动词原形”也是提建议的句型,“try it again”表示“再试一次”。 3. better invite, to :“had better do sth.”表示“最好做某事”,“invite sb. to...”表示“邀请某人去......”。 4. shouldn't :“should”的否定形式“shouldn't”,表示“不应该”。 5. do more sports/exercise :“do sports/exercise”表示“做运动”,“more”表示“更多”。 三、 1. A :文章开头提到“Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.”,说明各个年龄段的父母和孩子都会有沟通问题,故选 A。 2. C :文中给出了“Don't argue with your parents.”,“Try to reach a compromise.”,“Talk about your values.”三条建议来消除代沟,故选 C。 3. B :“cool off”在这里表示让自己冷静下来,变得安静和放松,故选 B。 4. D :文章提到要消除代沟,需要和父母沟通,理解彼此的价值观等,所以如果有代沟,最好经常和父母交流,故选 D。 四、 1. argued :“argue with sb.”表示“和某人争吵”,根据“Once”可知用一般过去时。 2. relation :“relationship”也有“关系”的意思,但“relation”更侧重于两者之间的联系,这里用“relation”。 3. communication :“communication”是不可数名词,表示“沟通”。 4. Perhaps/Maybe :“Perhaps”和“Maybe”都表示“也许,可能”。 5. offer :“offer sb. sth.”表示“给某人提供某物”。 6. anymore :“not...anymore”表示“不再”。 7. proper :“proper”表示“恰当的,合适的”。 8. returned :“return”表示“返回”,根据上下文用一般过去时。 9. wrong :“be wrong”表示“错误的”。 10. deal :“It’s not a big deal.”是一个常用表达,意思是“这不是什么大事”。 五、 1. to :“from...to...”表示“从......到......”,是固定搭配。 2. busier :“than”提示用比较级,“busy”的比较级是“busier”。 3. called :根据“One day”可知用一般过去时。 4. haven’t had :根据“She said”可知,“还没吃晚饭”这个动作在“说”这个动作之前,用过去完成时。 5. Although/Though :引导让步状语从句,“虽然,尽管”。 6. walking :“see sb. doing sth.”表示“看到某人正在做某事”。 7. happily :修饰动词“cried”用副词“happily”。 8. me :介词“for”后用宾格“me”。 9. words :“many”后接可数名词复数,“word”的复数是“words”。 10. a :“give sb. a call”表示“给某人打电话”。 六、 这篇演讲稿首先指出了和父母相处难的现象,接着分析了原因,最后提出了一些改善的措施。 现象部分:描述了经常和父母发火甚至几天不说话的情况,真实地反映了现实中一些孩子与父母相处的问题。 原因部分:指出父母过分关注分数导致孩子精神紧张,以及周末安排过多课外辅导课让孩子没有时间做喜欢的事,这两点都是常见的亲子矛盾原因。 措施部分:提出了和父母沟通、帮忙做家务、合理安排时间让父母不担心等建议,具有一定的可行性和合理性。 整体逻辑清晰,语言表达流畅,符合演讲稿的要求。
