一、阅读理解
Passage A
When people talk about "family matters,"they often refer to the daily logistics:who picks up the
kids,who pays the bills,and who does the dishes.While these are important,the truly profound
"matters"are the emotional landscapes we navigate together-the silent understandings,the
unspoken resentments,and the difficult conversations that shape who we are.
My grandfather,a man of few words and firm principles,was a master of silent love.He never said
"I love you,"but he showed it by building a treehouse for me with his own hands,by sitting
through every one of my painfully boring school plays,and by leaving a freshly baked apple pie on the
counter every Saturday moming.His love was a constant,a gravitational pull,but it was also a source
of quiet fiustration.I craved verbal affirmation,a clear declaration that he was proud of me.I felt a
void between what I needed and what he could give.
The gap widened during my teenage years.I became passionate about art,a path he viewed as
impractical.Our conversations became minefields."When are you going to get a real skill?"he'd
ask,his brow furrowed in genuine concem,not criticism."Art is a skill,Grandpa,"I'd retort,my
voice sharp with indignation.We were speaking the same language but in entirely different dialects.I
interpreted his concern as a lack of belief he saw my passion as youthful naivety.The silence that
followed these exchanges was heavy,not with nothing,but with everything unsaid.
The resolution didn't come in a dramatic moment,but in a quiet,shared space.Years later,I was about
to move into my first studio apartment.As I was packing my canvases and brushes,Grandpa appeared
in the doorway of my room.He didn't say a word.He simply walked over,handed me a small,worn
leather toolbox,and nodded.Inside,nestled among rusty screwdrivers and old nails,was a brand new,
high quality set of palette knives.My eyes met his,and in that moment,the gap between our dialects
vanished.He wasn't saying,"I understand your art."He was saying,"I understand you.And I will
give you the tools to build your world,just as I once built you a treehouse."
The matter of family,I have learned,is not about perfect communication.It is about the continuous,
imperfect effort to translate your heart into a language the other person can receive.It is about knowing
that sometimes,a toolbox can speak louder than a thousand words.
()1.What does the author initially consider as the main issue between him and his grandfather?
A.The grandfather's refusal to help with the bills.
B.The grandfather's lack of interest in school plays.
C.The grandfather's inability to express pride verbally.
D.The grandfather's opposition to the author's painting style.
()2.The phrase "a master of silent love"(Paragraph 2)suggests that the grandfather
A.an expert in showing love through actions
B.preferred to keep his feelings to himself
C.was not a very loving person
D.only showed love when asked to
()3.What does the author imply by saying "We were speaking the same language but in entirely
different dialects"?
A.They had different accents.
B.They failed to understand each other's emotional needs.
C.They argued over the definition of "skill".
D.They used different words to describe the same feeling.
()4.What finally helped bridge the gap between the author and his grandfather?
A.A dramatic and heartfelt apology from the grandfather.
B.A gift that symbolized the grandfather's support for the author's path.
C.A long conversation about the meaning of art.
D.The author's decision to give up his impractical dream.
Passage B
The concept of the "generation gap"is a familiar one,often portrayed as a dramatic clash between
the old and the young.However,contemporary research in developmental psychology suggests a more
nuanced picture.The gap is not merely a fixed distance,but a dynamic space shaped by socio-
economic shifts,technological revolutions,and evolving definitions of success.The way this gap
manifests within a family is less about conflict and more about the anxiety of translation-a struggle to
convey values formed in one era to a mind being molded in another.
Consider the framework of "cultural capital."A parent who grew up in an era of industrial stability
may view a steady job,home ownership,and a pension as the ultimate markers of security and success.
This is their primary form of cultural capital-a currency they understand and prize.Their children,
however,coming of age in a gig economy characterized by artificial intelligence and global uncertainty,
often value a different set of assets:adaptability,digital literacy,personal branding,and entrepreneurial
risk-taking.What the parent sees as "settling down,"the child may perceive as "giving up."What
the child sees as "creative freedom,"the parent may interpret as "unstable foolhardiness."The
conflict isn't about love;it's about a mismatch of currencies.
This mismatch is further complicated by the concept of "helicopter parenting,"a style that emerged
in the late 20th century.While driven by a deep desire to protect and ensure success,it can
paradoxically hinder the development of autonomy in young adults.When parents,out of love,quickly
solve every problem a child faces-from a difficult homework assignment to a conflict with a
roommate-they may inadvertently deprive the child of a crucial opportunity to build problem-solving
skills and emotional resilience.This creates a different kind of gap:a gap in lived experience.The
child's ability to navigate the world independently remains underdeveloped,not because they lack
intelligence,but because they lack practice.
Bridging this modem gap requires a shift from a model of "instruction"to one of "consultation."
Instead of parents dictating solutions (instruction),a more effective approach is to act as a consultant,
offering advice and perspective while empowering the younger generation to make their own decisions
and,critically,to face the consequences.This doesn't mean abandoning parental guidance.It means
refiaming it.It involves asking questions like,"What are your options?"and "What do you see as
the pros and cons of each?"rather than "You should do this."
Ultimately,the health of a family unit in the 21st century depends not on eliminating the generation
gap,but on recognizing it as a landscape to be explored,not a battlefield to be won.It is the ongoing,
often messy process of translating your own deeply held values into a language that your child can not
just hear,but understand,and in doing so,creating a new,shared vocabulary for the future.
()1.According to the passage,the contemporary "generation gap"is best described as
A.a fixed and unchangeable distance between generations
B.a dramatic conflict driven by a lack of love and care
C.a dynamic space shaped by different social and economic realities
D.a simple misunderstanding that can be easily resolved with discussion
()2.The concept of "cultural capital"is used in Paragraph 2 to explain that
A.wealthy families have better communication skills
B.children always reject the values of their parents
C.education is the most important investment for a family
D.each generation values different markers of success and security
()3.What is one of the negative effects of "helicopter parenting"mentioned in the text?
A.It strengthens the bond between parent and child.
B.It ensures the child's academic success in the long run.
C.It reduces the child's opportunity to develop independence.
D.It prevents the child from making any mistakes in life
()4.What does the author suggest as a more effective way for parents to guide their children?
A.To act as consultants who offer advice and empower decision-making.
B.To continue giving clear instructions to ensure the child's success.
C.To stop all forms of intervention and let the child face the world alone.
D.To focus on teaching the child about the value of a steady job.
二、完形填空
It was a Sunday afternoon,and a familiar tension filled the living room.My father,a man of routine
and practicality,was glaring at my new leather jacket,a purchase I had made with my own hard-
earned money."That thing looks like it belongs in a motorcycle gang,"he(1)
,his voice
laced with disapproval."You'll catch your death of cold in that."
I sighed,feeling the familiar(2)of being misunderstood."It's called fashion,Dad.And it's

him,it was a call to duty,a father's(4)to protect his son from the world's dangers and follies.
The argument that followed was less about the jacket and more about everything else.It was about my
music,which he found "too loud";my friends,whom he deemed "a bad influence";and my

His words didn't(8)me.I saw them as the tired complaints of a man who had (9)
his own youthful dreams."Times are different,"I shot back,repeating a phrase I had heard a million
times."You can't live in the past."
Then,something (10)
unusual happened.He stopped arguing.He looked at me,not with
anger,but with a deep,weary sadness I had never seen before.He sighed,a long,heavy sound that
seemed to (11)all the air in the room."No,"he said softly,"I can't live in the past.But I
can try to understand your present."
The silence that followed was(12)of hostility.For a moment,we were just two people

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that disagreements between teenagers and their parents are not
only common but also an essential part of growing up.These conflicts,often dismissed as the "storm
and stress"of adolescence,serve a deeper developmental purpose.Psychologists view them not as
signs of a dysfunctional family,but as a healthy mechanism for young people to establish their own
identity.
When an adolescent argues about a curfew,their choice of fiiends,or their music taste,they are
engaging in a process called "individuation."This is the process by which a young person defines
themselves as a separate and distinct individual from their parents.They test boundaries,challenge
rules,and question authority,not because they necessarily think their parents are wrong,but because
they need to prove to themselves-and the world-that they have their own values and ideas.
This process,however,is painful for parents who have spent years protecting and guiding their child.
From a parent's perspective,the teen's rejection of advice feels like a rejection of their love and a
betrayal of their hard-won wisdom.The parent's resistance,therefore,is often not about control,but
about a fear of losing the connection they have built.They may see their teen's risky choices as a direct
threat to their safety and future happiness.
The key to navigating these waters lies in the ability to reframe the conflict.Instead of seeing the
argument as a war to be won,both parties can leam to see it as a negotiation.For the teen,this means
learning to express their need for independence in a respectful way that acknowledges their parents'
concemns.For the parent,this means slowly and carefully shifting their role from a manager who directs
every move to a consultant who offers support and advice from a distance.
The goal is not to eliminate disagreement,but to transform it from a source of pain into a tool for
growth.A family that learns to argue productively-where voices can be raised but respect is
maintained,and where the relationship is valued more than being right-has built a foundation that will
last a lifetime.The "storms"of adolescence,when navigated with empathy and good
communication,ultimately clear the air and make way for a more mature,mutual respect between
parent and child.

Families are often the first place where we learn to communicate,but they can also be the hardest place
to be heard.A major challenge many parents face is knowing when to step in and when to step back,
balancing their protective instincts(1)their teenager's growing need for autonomy.
A common source of conflict is the issue of online behavior.Parents,(2)
about safety,might
insist on monitoring their child's social media activity.However,for a teen,this feels like a direct
invasion of privacy,a space they consider their own.The key to(3)this problem is not a
winner-takes-all battle,but a negotiated agreement.Families can set up a "digital contract."This
contract outlines clear(4)for both sides,such as screen time limits,which apps are
acceptable,and the (5)of both the teen and the parent.(6)scheduled check-ins
about the teen's online life can also help,as they make dialogue a routine instead of a confrontation.
Beyond digital debates,everyday emotional support is equally crucial.A teenager (7)

need most is someone to simply listen(8)judging.The simple act of saying,"That sounds
really hard,"is often far more(9)
than immediately jumping in with advice or criticism.
Ultimately,strong family bonds aren't built on the absence of conflict,but on the willingness of all
members to leamn from it.It's about making the effort to understand the world from a different
viewpoint,a skill that requires constant(10)
and genuine empathy.

Dear Peter,
I'm sory to hear that you're having a tough time with your parents about your future career.I can
totally understand how you feel.It's hard when our dreams seem to clash with our parents'
expectations.
Here is my advice.First,ty to see things from your father's point of view.He wants you to have a
secure future,and his suggestion comes from love and concem.Instead of getting angry,have a calm
conversation with him.Explain why you are so passionate about art and music,and show him you
have a practical plan for the future.You could also suggest a compromise,like studying art as a major
while taking a few business courses to show responsibility.
I believe if you communicate with patience and respect,your father will come to understand you better.
Stay true to your passion,but also be open to his wisdom.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
