If you can’t remember, then you can get the chance this Father’s Day in June. Generally compared to a mother’s gentle love, a father represents (代表) qualities like independence, confidence, courage and adventure. Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control (控制) their feelings. For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn’t like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. “Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and getting along with others,” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune Magazine. US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. “You don’t try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick (砖) every day. And soon you have a wall,” he said on TV show Charlie Rose (《查理·罗斯访谈录》). “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters,” British poet George Herbert (1593-1632) once said. Do you agree? 8．What chance can you get on the coming Father’s Day? A．To remember your father’s love. B．To swim and relax yourself. C．To show love to your father.

If you can’t remember, then you can get the chance this Father’s Day in June.”可知，是指表达对父亲的爱的机会。故选C。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段比尔·盖茨的例子可知，他小时候不喜欢和人讲话，于是父亲经常举办家庭聚会，并让他参与各种活动，于是比尔·盖茨提高了与人交流和相处的能力，即在父亲的帮助下，他改变了很多。故选C。 10．推理判断题。根据“His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it.”可知，作者是通过举威尔·史密斯的例子来写第四段的，即列举事实。故选B。 11．词句猜测题。根据“Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science.

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 advice 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 consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go 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 motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, 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! 12．According to the passage, who have a communication problem? A．Parents and other people. B．Only school kids and their parents. C．Teachers and their students. D．Parents and children of all ages. 13．How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap? A．5. B．4. C．3. D．2. 14．The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “ ________”. A．to make yourself happy B．to get yourself quiet and relaxed C．to have a good rest D．to hide yourself quickly 15．The best title of the passage is ________. A．How to Bridge the Generation Gap B．How to Deal with Family Problems C．How to Be Good Parents D．How to Be a Good Child 【答案】12．D 13．C 14．B 15．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了家长和孩子之间的沟通问题，并提供了一些建议来消除代沟。 12．细节理解题。根据第一段“Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.”可知，所有年龄段的父母和孩子都存在沟通问题。故选D。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段“Don’t argue with your parents.”，第三段“Try to reach a compromise.”和第四段“Talk about your values.”可知，作者给出了三个建议。故选C。 14．词义猜测题。根据第二段“Go some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents.”可知，去一些让你平静、放松的地方，这样才能冷静下来去思考，由此猜测，“cool off”意为to get yourself quiet and relaxed“让自己平静、放松”。故选B。 15．标题归纳题。根据第一段“Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.”并通读全文可知，本文提供了一些建议来消除代沟，所以选项A“如何消除代沟”是最佳标题。故选A。 二、任务型阅读 任务A：从所给的A~E选项中选择正确的选项填入第1~4空相应的横线处（其中一项多余）。 任务B：写一个句子， 完成第5题，不超过20词。 EXERGAMING Give it a try!

Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t try to talk about something with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t listen to you if you are shouting at them. Go somewhere else to cool off. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you think you can’t speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter to them. Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to an agreement. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. It is also important to show your love to your parents.

If you can’t remember, then you can get the chance this Father’s Day in June. Generally compared to a mother’s gentle love, a father represents (代表) qualities like independence, confidence, courage and adventure. Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control (控制) their feelings. For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn’t like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. “Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and getting along with others,” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune Magazine. US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. “You don’t try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick (砖) every day. And soon you have a wall,” he said on TV show Charlie Rose (《查理·罗斯访谈录》). “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters,” British poet George Herbert (1593-1632) once said. Do you agree? 8．What chance can you get on the coming Father’s Day? A．To remember your father’s love. B．To swim and relax yourself. C．To show love to your father. D．To build a wall with your father. 9．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．We should learn playing soccer and swimming. B．Soccer and swimming were popular a long time ago. C．Bill Gates changed much with the help of his father. D．Bill Gates liked parties very much when he was young. 10．In which way does the writer develop Paragraph 4? A．By listing facts. B．By giving the example. C．By asking questions. D．By explaining the reasons. 11．How do you understand “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters”? A．The growth of a child needs 100 schoolmasters. B．One father is more important than 100 schoolmasters. C．A father plays an important role in kids’ growing. D．Everyone will have a hundred schoolmasters in his life. 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 advice 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 consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go 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 motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, 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! 12．According to the passage, who have a communication problem? A．Parents and other people. B．Only school kids and their parents. C．Teachers and their students. D．Parents and children of all ages. 13．How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap? A．5. B．4. C．3. D．2. 14．The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “ ________”. A．to make yourself happy B．to get yourself quiet and relaxed C．to have a good rest D．to hide yourself quickly 15．The best title of the passage is ________. A．How to Bridge the Generation Gap B．How to Deal with Family Problems C．How to Be Good Parents D．How to Be a Good Child 二、任务型阅读 任务A：从所给的A~E选项中选择正确的选项填入第1~4空相应的横线处（其中一项多余）。 任务B：写一个句子， 完成第5题，不超过20词。 EXERGAMING Give it a try!
