Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟). Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t go 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. Firstly, keep calm. Then, make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Next, think about what you want to say to them. If you don’t want to talk with them face to face, 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 to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a toy. They argued about it. But she finally agreed with him. Michael bought the toy, but only played with it on certain days. Of course, your parents might disagree with you on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. It will help keep your relationship strong. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is a pleasure to have a try! 34．What’s the passage mainly about? 35．How can we reach a compromise with our parents? 36．Why should we show love and respect to parents when we disagree with each other, according to the text? 37．How do you get along with your parents? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】34．It’s about advice to bridge the generation gap between parents and children. 35．We can keep our disagreement and try to accept each other. 36．Because it will help keep the relationship strong. 37．I often talk with my parents calmly when we disagree. If we can’t agree, I try to understand their ideas and find a way to compromise. I also show them respect, which makes us get along well. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【导语】本文主要讲述了沟通问题是所有年龄段父母与孩子之间的普遍问题，并给出了弥合代沟的几点建议，包括不与父母争吵、尝试达成和解以及向父母表达爱与尊重。 34．根据“Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).”可知，文章主要是关于弥合父母与孩子之间代沟的建议。故填It’s about advice to bridge the generation gap between parents and children. 35．根据“You can keep your disagreement and try to accept each other.”可知，我们可以保留分歧，并尝试接受彼此。故填We can keep our disagreement and try to accept each other. 36．根据“In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. It will help keep your relationship strong.”可知，向父母表达爱与尊重有助于保持关系牢固。故填Because it will help keep the relationship strong. 37．本题为开放性问题，结合自身实际回答即可。示例：I often talk with my parents calmly when we disagree. If we can’t agree, I try to understand their ideas and find a way to compromise. I also show them respect, which makes us get along well.

D In your last email, you asked me how to deal with stress and worries. One good way that many students in my country find helpful is to use a worry box. Let me explain how to make and use one. Try Using a Worry BoxMake a special box Use colourful things and pictures to make your worry box. Here is a picture of my worry-eating monster (怪兽) box! ☞Write down your worries Take some pieces of paper and write down your worries. ☞Rate (评价) your worries and store them in the box If you like, place each worry on a scale (等级) from 1 to 10.1 means “a little worried” and 10 means “the most worried”. For example, today I put two worries into the box. I rated “losing my new bike” as a 7 and “worrying about the maths exam” as a 4. ☞Talk it out Make sure to make some time every day or week to talk about your worries with your parents. Together, you can find ways to deal with them. Remember, it’s not healthy to carry worries around in your head. The worry box provides a safe place to “share” your worries. By using it, you’ll learn to deal with your worries. Take care! Yours, Anna 30．What did Sun Meng write in her last email to Anna? ________ A．She made an invitation. B．She shared her grades.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟). Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t go 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. Firstly, keep calm. Then, make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Next, think about what you want to say to them. If you don’t want to talk with them face to face, 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 to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a toy. They argued about it. But she finally agreed with him. Michael bought the toy, but only played with it on certain days. Of course, your parents might disagree with you on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. It will help keep your relationship strong. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is a pleasure to have a try! 34．What’s the passage mainly about? 35．How can we reach a compromise with our parents? 36．Why should we show love and respect to parents when we disagree with each other, according to the text? 37．How do you get along with your parents? Write 30 words or more. 五、文段表达（10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出的内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名、姓名和地名。 38．假定你是苏华，最近你的澳大利亚笔友Nathan犯了一些错误，他倍感懊恼，写了一封邮件向你诉说。为帮助他排解困惑，请你根据他的邮件内容并结合自身经历，用英语回信开导他。 人称：第一人称 时态：一般过去时、一般现在时    语篇类型：应用文 To: suhua@china.com From: nathan@australia.com Subject: Learning from mistakes Dear Su Hua, I’m unhappy because I’ve made some mistakes recently.
