Passage 1
In many cultures around the world,the concept offamily extends far beyond the nuclear unit of parents
and children.It often encompasses a vast network ofrelatives,including grandparents,aunts,uncles,and
cousins,who play significant roles in an individual's life.This extended family structure,while offering a
strong support system,can also present unique challenges,particularly when it comes to communication
and decision-making.
Consider the situation of a young professional,Maya,who has just been offered a promising job in a city
hundreds of miles away from her family home.For Maya,this is a thrilling opportunity for career
advancement and personal growth.However,when she shares the news with her family,the reaction is
mixed.Her parents express concern about her being so far away,wonied about her safety and well-being
Her grandparents,who live with the family,are deeply upset,viewing her departure as a sign that the
family is breaking apart.They remind her of the importance of staying close to kin,a value deeply rooted
in their cultural tradition.
Maya finds herself tomn between her own aspirations and her family's expectations.She feels a strong
sense of duty towards her family,yet she also believes that this move is essential for her future.The
conflict is not bomn out of a lack of love,but from differing perspectives on what constitutes a good life
The older generation defines success through collective family unity,while Maya's generation
increasingly values individual achievement and independence.This generational divide is a common
source of tension in many families.
The key to navigating such a sensitive issue often lies in open and empathetic communication.Instead of
presenting the decision as a finality,Maya could engage her family in a dialogue,explaining not just the
benefits of the job,but also how she plans to maintain strong family ties despite the distance.She could
promise regular video calls,scheduled visits home,and a commitment to involving them in her new life
By addressing their underlying fears-the fear oflosing her and the fear of the family's disintegration-
she might transform their anxiety into support.Ultimately,a healthy family relationship is not about one
side yielding to the other,but about finding a balance that respects both individual dreams and collective
bonds.
()1.What is the main challenge faced by Maya according to the passage?
A.The job offer is not as promising as she thought.
B.Her family members do not care about her future.
C.There is a conflict between her career goal and family expectations.
D.She cannot communicate with her family because they live far away.
()2.The grandparents'reaction to Maya's news suggests that they
A.oppose any form of change in the family
B.value the principle of family togetherness highly
C.are only concemed about their own comfort
D.think the job is not good enough for Maya
()3.What does the author suggest is the fundamental cause of the tension in Maya's family?
A.A lack of love and respect among family members
B.Different understandings of what makes a successful life
C.The geographical distance between Maya and her parents
D.Maya's unwillingness to listen to her grandparents'advice.
()4.According to the last paragraph,how can Maya best resolve the conflict with her family?
A.By insisting on her decision and leaving regardless of their feelings.
B.By giving up the job opportunity to maintain family harmony
C.By communicating openly and showing how she will stay connected
D.By asking a third party to help her explain the situation to her family.
Passage 2
The traditional image of the family dinner table,where everyone gathers to share a meal and their day's
experiences,is becoming increasingly rare in modemn,fast-paced societies.This change is often cited as a
loss of a vital opportunity for family bonding.But is the physical act of eating together the only way to
foster communication?Perhaps the true significance lies not in the table itself,but in the quality of the
interaction it is meant to facilitate.
Research in developmental psychology consistently shows that regular,meaningful family
communication is a comerstone of adolescent well-being.Teenagers who feel they can openly discuss
their problems,successes,and failures with their parents demonstrate higher self-esteem and lower rates
of anxiety and depression.This open channel is crucial because it creates a safe space where young
people can navigate the complexities ofidentity formation and peer pressure.However,the nature of this
communication is evolving.
In our digitally connected world,the definition of"talking"has expanded.While a face-to-face
conversation over dinner has its unique virtues,such as reading body language and tone,other forms of
interaction can be equally valuable,especially for teenagers who may feel hesitant to initiate difficult
conversations in person.A thoughtful text message,a shared meme that sparks a laugh,or a quick video
call to ask for advicethese digital touches can serve as low-pressure entry points for deeper discussions.
A study highlighted the concept of ambient awareness,"where constant,low-level digital contact with
family members,such as seeing their social media updates or being in a group chat,creates a sense of
ongoing connection and presence.For a teenager who spends a lot of time at school or with fiiends,these
small digital connections can act as a thread linking them back to the family unit.This doesn't mean that
digital communication should replace in-person interactions entirely.The goal is to achieve a synergy
between the two.
The problem arises when digital devices become a substitute for,rather than a supplement to,genuine
engagement.A family sitting together,each absorbed in their own smartphone,is a classic example of a
failed opportunity.The key is intentionality.A family might establish"no-phone zones"during dinner,but
also encourage sharing a funny video they saw online later in the evening.By being flexible and
understanding that communication comes in many forms,families can maintain strong bonds even when
their schedules are chaotic.The essence of family communication is not the method,but the consistent
effort to be present and open with one another,regardless of whether it happens at a table or through a
screen
()1.What is the author's main argument in the passage?
A.The family dinner table is the only place for effective communication.
B.Digital communication is more effective than face-to-face talks for teenagers.
C.The quality of communication matters more than the specific way it happens.
D.Modem technology has completely destroyed the tradition of family bonding.
()2.The author mentions"ambient awareness"in paragraph 4 to illustrate that
A.digital contact can help families feel connected throughout the day
B.teenagers prefer digital communication over personal conversations
C.face-to-face communication is no longer necessary in modern families
D.social media can create misunderstandings among family members
()3.What does the author say is a sign of"failed opportunity"in family communication?
A.A family member sending a text message instead of calling
B.Family members sharing a funny video they found online
C.A family being physically together but mentally disconnected by screens
D.A teenager using digital devices to avoid talking about their problems
()4.What advice does the author give to families in the last paragraph?
A.Ban all digital devices from the house to encourage talking.
B.Be intentional about creating moments of genuine connection.
C.Force everyone to sit at the dinner table every evening
D.Use digital communication as the primary method ofinteraction.
二、完形填空
When I was sixteen,I had a huge fight with my father.He wanted me to become a doctor,a stable and
respected profession in his eyes.I,however,was passionate about art and wanted to go to an art school.
The argument」
for weeks,filling our home with a heavy,unpleasant silence.I felt he didn't
understand me at all,and I was determined to
my own path,even if it meant leaving home.
One evening,after another heated
I stormed into my room and started packing my bag.I was
ready to leave.Just then,my mother came in.She didn't scold me or try to stop me.Instead,she sat on my
bed and
me a small,wom-out box."Open it,"she said softly.Inside was a collection of old
sketches and paintings.They were beautiful,full of emotion and life.
"Who drew these?"I asked,astonished."Your father,"she replied.My breath caught in my throat.I
looked at the drawings again.The style was different from mine,but the
for art was
unmistakable."He wanted to be an artist,you know,"my mother continued."But his family couldn't
afford an art school.So he chose medicine,a practical
that could support a family.He has
always
that dream,and he doesn't want you to make the same sacrifice."
I felt a wave of
wash over me.For weeks,I had seen him as an enemy,a barrier to my
happiness.I hadn't realized that his stubbornness was born from his own
and love.He wasn't
trying to control me,he was trying to
me from the pain of a broken dream
I walked downstairs that night and found my father sitting alone in the living room.He looked tired and
sad.Without saying a word,I sat next to him and placed the box on his lap.He looked down,and his
eyes
when he saw the sketches.For a long moment,we just sat there in silence.
Finally,I spoke."Dad,I understand now.But I need you to know that I'm not you.I have a chance to
our dream.Can you support me?"He looked at me,his eyes filled with tears.He didn't say yes
immediately,but he nodded,a slight but
gesture of acceptance.
From that day on,our relationship changed.The
was gone,replaced by a new understanding
We still had
but they were no longer about breaking apart,they were about building a bridge
The fight had taught me that sometimes,the deepest conflicts are the greatest opportunities for connection.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.(答案不超过8个单词)
In many contemporary households,the dynamics of modemn life have reshaped the traditional roles of
parents and children.The hierarchical model where parents command and children obey is giving way to
a more collaborative and democratic approach.This shift,while often celebrated for promoting open
communication,also introduces unique challenges.One significant area of change is in the realm of
decision-making.Children are now more frequently consulted on matters that affect them,from family
vacations to their own educational pathways.This involvement is intended to foster independence and
critical thinking.However,it can also lead to a phenomenon known as "negotiation fatigue,"where
parents feel they must constantly justify their choices and bargain for their children's cooperation
This trend is particularly visible in the teenage years,a period defined by a young person's struggle for
identity and autonomy.A teenager's desire to be heard and respected is a natural and healthy part of
development.When parents treat their teens as partners in discussions,it validates their growing maturity.
For example,involving a teenager in creating the family budget can teach them about financial
responsibility in a practical,hands-on way.However,the line between collaboration and over-
consultation can be thin.If every single decision,no matter how small,becomes a topic for debate,it can
create an environment of constant negotiation that is exhausting for everyone.
The key to navigating this new paradigm lies in distinguishing between decisions that are open for
discussion and those that are not.Issues of safety,family core values,and long-term well-being are often
non-negotiable.A parent should not need to negotiate with their 14-year-old about whether they will
attend school or return home by a certain time for safety reasons.These are matters of a parent's
responsibility and care.On the other hand,decisions about how to decorate a room,what elective classes
to take,or how to spend their allowance are perfect opportunities for collaborative decision-making.By
defining these boundaries clearly,parents give their children a sense of control in appropriate areas while
maintaining necessary authority.
Ultimately,the goal is to raise children who can think for themselves,not to rule over them.The transition
from a command-and-control parenting style to a partnership model is challenging but rewarding.It
requires patience from parents to listen without immediate judgment and courage from children to express
their views responsibly.This balanced approach prepares young people for the realities of adult life,

Family conflicts are a natural part of life,but how we handle them can shape our relationships for years to
come.The key is not to avoid disagreements,but to learn how to resolve them
(constructive).
One common mistake is to focus on winning the argument,rather than understanding the other person's
perspective.When family members feel unheard,they often become more
(defence),which
only escalates the conflict
Instead,try to practice active
(listen).This means truly paying attention to what the other
person is saying,without
(intenrupt)or planning your response.You can show you are listening
by nodding,making eye contact,and repeating back what you heard.For example,you might say,"So
what I hear you saying is,you feel I don't appreciate your help."This simple act of
(validate)
their feelings can make a huge difference.
Another important technique is to use"Istatements instead of"you"statements.Saying"I feel fiustrated
when the dishes are left in the sink"is much less accusatory than "You always leave the dishes in the
sink."The former expresses your feeling,_
the latter places blame.This shift in language can
help keep the conversation calm and focused on the issue,rather than attacking the person.
it is crucial to choose the night time and place for a difficult conversation.Trying to discuss a
serious issue when everyone is tired,hungry,or in a hurry is a recipe for disaster.Find a quiet moment
you can talk without distractions.Sometimes,it is okay to take a break.If tempers are running
high,it's better to say,"I think we need a few minutes to calm down.Let's talk about this again in half an
hour."
The goal of family communication is not to win,
to connect.When we approach conflicts with
a spirit of empathy and a genuine desire to understand,even the most difficult
(disagree)can
become opportunities for growth.Remember,a family is not a group of people who never fight,it is a
group of people who love each other and leamn how to heal together.By building these skills,you can
create a home environment
trust and respect can grow,and where every family member feels
safe
(express)themselves.

Dear Chris,
I was very sory to hear about the disagreement between you and your father regarding your future career.
I can totally understand your fiustration and the pressure you are under.Many teenagers face similar
conflicts with their parents,so please know you are not alone.
Firstly,I suggest you have a calm and open conversation with your father.Try to see things from his
perspective;his concern likely comes from a place of love and a desire for you to have a stable life.
Instead of arguing,share your genuine passion for music and explain how you plan to build a career from
it.Perhaps you could show him your achievements or a plan to make music a viable profession.
Secondly,you might consider finding a middle ground.For example,you could promise to study a
