It can make a difference to the child’s life much. Positive relations can help children grow healthily and successfully. Here are some ways to help you build a good relation. Get used to their way. If you learn more about their ideas and opinions, you will communicate or play with them in their way. This will help you get close easily. You can communicate with them freely and find the world in their heart through playing games on the floor instead of at the dinner table. Make good use of family time.

Then you can know more about your children at school. You can also sit near them when they do homework. This will make them better at schoolwork. Build trust. It’s important for you and your children to believe in each other. You can make them know they can trust you. When you plan to do something, you must finish it. You will set a good example for them. Listen to children. If children are complaining (抱怨) about school, you must listen to them. Then they will know you are important and trust you. You also need to leave your mobile phone and TV and look at children’s eyes. Then you can give your opinions and ideas to them in time. 23．How can parents get used to children’s way?

Here I’d like to share something with other parents. I have learned that little kids are dogs, while teenagers are cats. It’s easy to be a dog owner. You feed it and train it, and it will put its head on your knee gently. Whenever you call it, it will run to you with great warmth. Then around age 13, your lovely little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you ask it to come inside, it looks surprised, wondering why you give such an order. It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering. When you reach out to touch its head, it will stay away from you, as if trying to hide its own secrets. The kid now is not a dog any more. It thinks something in a totally different way. It seems so strange. Maybe it even doesn’t want to go out with its family members. You may think that you’ve done something wrong, because you are the one who raises (抚养) it and stays with it all the time. Filled with guilt (内疚) and fear, you make an effort (努力) to make your pet under your control (控制), but the result always turns out (结果是) to be disappointing. Instead of being like a dog owner, you should learn to act like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat also needs your heal (治愈) and your love. You need to tell it there is a door which is always open for it. One day, your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “Let me get those dishes for you.” 27. From Paragraph 2, we can know that ________. A．kids always like to stay with dogs B．it’s easy to teach and train a child if he is smart C．little kids will show their kindness to us if we care for them 28. The sentence “It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering.” tells us that the cat ______. A．tries checking out what its owner likes best B．wants to check things first before it C．has a good habit of smelling before eating 29. Which one is TRUE according to the passage? A．Parents always think of their own mistakes first when their kids change. B．Teenagers will never follow their parents’ advice C．Dogs and cats are always difficult to feed. 30. This passage mainly talks about ________. A．how to feed dogs and cats B．the changing relationship between children and parents C．what is the most important thing for parents 【答案】27. C 28. B 29. A 30. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章通过将小孩比作狗、青少年比作猫，强调父母需随孩子成长改变养育方式，从直接的训练和照顾转向给予更多独立和爱。 27. 细节理解题。根据“It’s easy to be a dog owner. You feed it and train it, and it will put its head on your knee gently. Whenever you call it, it will run to you with great warmth.”可知，第二段通过比喻说明了小孩子在得到照顾时会表现出亲昵和忠诚，就像狗对主人那样。这表明，如果我们关心他们，小孩子会向我们展示善意。故选C。 28. 词句猜测题。根据“Then around age 13, your lovely little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you ask it to come inside, it looks surprised, wondering why you give such an order.”以及“When you reach out to touch its head, it will stay away from you, as if trying to hide its own secrets.”可知，这里通过将青少年比作猫，猫对外界事物有一定的警惕性，它们有自我保护的意识，所以在你给它们食物的时候，它们会在吃之前检查，确保安全。故选B。 29. 细节理解题。根据“It thinks something in a totally different way. It seems so strange.”和“You may think that you’ve done something wrong, because you are the one who raises (抚养) it and stays with it all the time.”可知，当青少年时期的孩子变得与之前不一样时，父母可能总是认为是他们哪里做得不对。故选A。 30. 主旨大意题。文章主要探讨了随着孩子从儿童成长为青少年，父母与孩子之间的关系如何变化，以及父母如何适应这种变化，通过改变养育策略来维持和加强与孩子的关系。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on Mars. Here is what life could be like. First, transportation should be much better. In 2100, spaceships can travel very fast. 31. Second, humans need food, water and air to live.

Then, robots will do most of the work, so we have more time for hobbies. 34 Every student can study, do his or her homework on the computer and take exams in online schools.

The harder you study, the 47 （little）time you have to make friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates. The fewer friends you have, the harder you study to make 48 （you） feel better. Try to break this bad circle. Perhaps you are afraid of meeting new people, 49 you are too shy or too serious   50 （begin） a conversation. You are not someone who has a fun side to his character. Push your shy side away and show your classmates how much fun you can be. Look at your classmates. Try to find out whether or not there are any people with whom you feel you have a lot 51 common. First, smile at your 52 （classmate）. Do this as often as you can, until your classmates become used to your smiles and smile in return. Next, talk to your classmates. Do this in classes or during your lunch break. You may find it easier to start by talking to people when they are alone. Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies. They are likely to respond （回应）in a very positive way. People like to feel important and 53 （help）. It must be someone else in your class who is also quiet. It might be easier to try to talk with him or her. Your problem is mainly about confidence Smile first, talk next and 54 （slow） you will make friends. Once you have more confidence, you can make as many friends 55 you want. Editor 【答案】46．a 47．less 48．yourself 49．because 50．to begin 51．in 52．classmates 53．helpful 54．slowly 55．as 【导语】本文是编辑给Emma写的一封信，信里提出解决Emma不够自信，不敢与同学交流这一个问题的建议。 46．句意：你的问题就像一个圆。此处表示“像一个圆”，表泛指，且circle是以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a表示“一个”，故填a。 47．句意：你学习越努力，你交朋友的时间就越少，你对同学就越不友好。比较级的固定搭配：the+比较级，the+比较级表示“越……，越……”，所以此空填little的比较级less，故填less。 48．句意：你的朋友越少，你就越努力学习使自己感觉更好。根据“the harder you study to make... feel better”，可知，你越努力学习，就会使自己感觉更好，所以此空填反身代词yourself“你自己”，故填yourself。 49．句意：也许你害怕结识新朋友，也许你太害羞或太严肃而不敢开口。“太害羞或太严肃”是前文“害怕结识新朋友”的原因，所以此空填because引导原因状语从句，故填because。 50．句意：也许你害怕结识新朋友，也许你太害羞或太严肃而不敢开口。固定搭配：too...to“太……而不能……”，故填to begin。 51．句意：试着找出是否有你觉得和你有很多共同点的人。根据“there are any people with whom you feel you have a lot...common”，可知，此空表示“有许多共同点”，英语表达是have a lot in common，故填in。 52．句意：首先，对你的同学微笑。形容词性物主代词your后接名词，classmate“同学”，是可数名词，此处不止一个同学，所以要用其复数形式，故填classmates。 53．句意：人们喜欢感觉自己很重要，乐于助人。此空与important构成并列关系，所以此空填形容词作表语，help对应的形容词是helpful“乐于助人的”，故填helpful。 54．句意：先微笑，再说话，慢慢地你就会交到朋友。此空修饰整个句子，要用副词。slow对应的副词是slowly“慢慢地”，故填slowly。 55．句意：一旦你有了更多的自信，你就可以交很多朋友。根据“you can make as many friends ... you want”，可知，此处表示“你可以交到如你所想的许多朋友”，用as...as表示“如……一样”，故填as。 第三节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，并回答问题 Feeling shy around your new friends? Playing some icebreaking games can help you get to know each other better. Give it a try! Describe Yourself The first player should use one word to describe himself or herself. The first letter of this word should be the same as the first letter in his or her name. Henry, for example, can call himself “Happy Henry”. The next players should say their own name combination (组合) as well as the name combinations of all the players in front of them. Ten Fingers Players should hold up all ten fingers. One by one, they can say one fact about themselves. One could possibly say, for example, “I can swim.” The other players who can’t swim should then put down one finger. When a player puts down all ten fingers, he or she loses the game. Who Am I? Each player is randomly (随机地) given a card with someone else’s name on it.

For example, my friend Tom often complains that his parents don't allow him to play computer games, even on weekends. They think it's a waste of time, but Tom just wants to relax after a busy week. Another problem is that they seldom have heart-to-heart talks. His parents are always busy with work and don't have much time for him. To improve this situation, first, both parents and children should make time to communicate. They can have a family meeting every week to share their feelings. Second, parents should respect their children's hobbies and give them some freedom. Third, when there is a disagreement, they should solve it calmly through discussion. In my opinion, a good relationship between parents and children can bring warmth and happiness. We should all work hard to achieve it. $$nullnullnullnullUnit 4 Why don't you talk to your parents（湖南长沙卷） 英 语 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：100分） 注意事项： 1、答题前，请考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写清楚，并认真核对条形码上的姓名、准考证号、考室和座位号； 2、必须在答题卡上答题，在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效； 3、答题时，请考生注意各大题题号后面的答题提示； 4、请勿折叠答题卡，保持字体工整、笔迹清晰、卡面清洁; 5、答题卡上不得使用涂改液、涂改胶和贴纸； 6、本学科试卷中听力材料以中速朗读两遍。 I．听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项回答问题。听每段对话前，你都有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。（共5小题，计5分） 1．Why does the boy look unhappy?

Laura     We don’t like housework, but at the same time, we hope to have a clean and comfortable home. I learn from my neighbor Teresa. She says, “You don’t have to do everything right away, but ‘do small things with great love. ‘Start with the easy ones, rest, and then go on with others. It becomes less tiring but much more interesting when you divide (分成) things to smaller parts.” Mona     Do you know what you should call those who use towels (毛巾) but never wash them, eat meals but never do the dishes, sit in rooms but never clean? If your answer is, “a house guest (房客)”, you’re wrong, because I just described my kids. Mary     My kids seem to learn to use the computer and turn on the TV quickly. However, they have difficulty in using the vacuum cleaner (吸尘器). It is really amazing. 21．Who taught Laura to divide things into smaller parts? A．Her mother. B．Teresa. C．Mary. 22．Who does Mary talk something about? A．Her kids. B．Her guests. C．Her parents. B How to Develop a Good Parent and Child Relation The relation between a parent and a child is the most important in a child’s life. It can make a difference to the child’s life much. Positive relations can help children grow healthily and successfully. Here are some ways to help you build a good relation. Get used to their way. If you learn more about their ideas and opinions, you will communicate or play with them in their way. This will help you get close easily. You can communicate with them freely and find the world in their heart through playing games on the floor instead of at the dinner table. Make good use of family time. You must make family time a regular (有规律的) and special part of your life. Then your children can know you accept and respect them. You can eat meals together most nights of the week. You can also share sports events, movies and other events. Join in children’s school. If you have some free time, volunteer in the children’s school. Then you can know more about your children at school. You can also sit near them when they do homework. This will make them better at schoolwork. Build trust. It’s important for you and your children to believe in each other. You can make them know they can trust you. When you plan to do something, you must finish it. You will set a good example for them. Listen to children. If children are complaining (抱怨) about school, you must listen to them. Then they will know you are important and trust you. You also need to leave your mobile phone and TV and look at children’s eyes. Then you can give your opinions and ideas to them in time. 23．How can parents get used to children’s way? A．By reading the same book with them. B．By playing games with them on the floor. C．By finishing something after planning. 24．What do parents share sports events with children for? A．To listen to children. B．To make good use of family time. C．To join in children’s school life. 25．What will happen if parents sit close to their children when they do homework?

C．Children will love parents more. 26．What can parents do if they leave their mobile phone and TV and listen to their children? A．They can show love to their children. B．They can show an interest in their children. C．They can give their ideas in time. C It is not an easy job to be a good parent. Here I’d like to share something with other parents. I have learned that little kids are dogs, while teenagers are cats. It’s easy to be a dog owner. You feed it and train it, and it will put its head on your knee gently. Whenever you call it, it will run to you with great warmth. Then around age 13, your lovely little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you ask it to come inside, it looks surprised, wondering why you give such an order. It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering. When you reach out to touch its head, it will stay away from you, as if trying to hide its own secrets. The kid now is not a dog any more. It thinks something in a totally different way. It seems so strange. Maybe it even doesn’t want to go out with its family members. You may think that you’ve done something wrong, because you are the one who raises (抚养) it and stays with it all the time. Filled with guilt (内疚) and fear, you make an effort (努力) to make your pet under your control (控制), but the result always turns out (结果是) to be disappointing. Instead of being like a dog owner, you should learn to act like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat also needs your heal (治愈) and your love. You need to tell it there is a door which is always open for it. One day, your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “Let me get those dishes for you.” 27. From Paragraph 2, we can know that ________. A．kids always like to stay with dogs B．it’s easy to teach and train a child if he is smart C．little kids will show their kindness to us if we care for them 28. The sentence “It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering.” tells us that the cat ______. A．tries checking out what its owner likes best B．wants to check things first before it C．has a good habit of smelling before eating 29. Which one is TRUE according to the passage? A．Parents always think of their own mistakes first when their kids change. B．Teenagers will never follow their parents’ advice C．Dogs and cats are always difficult to feed. 30. This passage mainly talks about ________. A．how to feed dogs and cats B．the changing relationship between children and parents C．what is the most important thing for parents 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on Mars. Here is what life could be like. First, transportation should be much better. In 2100, spaceships can travel very fast. 31. Second, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to find plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will give us food and air. 32 We might easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. So humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. Life on Mars will be better in many ways. 33. It is possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robots will do most of the work, so we have more time for hobbies. 34 Every student can study, do his or her homework on the computer and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have his or her own online teacher called" e-teacher". However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. 35. Meals will probably be in the shape of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. A. There will probably be no school on Mars. B. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars. C. There is a problem for us to live on Mars. D. Food will not be the same. E. First, people will have more space.
