You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.‎ Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that - 12 - / 12‎ ‎ he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for his should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.‎ Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.‎ ‎4.

Not talk about personal things with him.‎ C ‎ Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I - 12 - / 12‎ ‎ was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.‎ ‎ My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.‎ ‎ On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?‎ ‎ The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was. ‎ ‎8. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?‎ A. He was silent most of the time. B. He was too proud of himself. ‎ C. He did not love his children. ‎ D. He expected too much of her.‎ ‎9. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel .‎ A. nervous B. sorry C. tired D. safe ‎10. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?‎ A. More critical. B. More talkative - 12 - / 12‎ C. Gentle and friendly. D. Strict and hard-working.‎ ‎11. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to .‎ A. the author’s son B. the author’s father C. the friend of the author’s father D. the café owner D Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.‎ Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out. ‎ The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention. ‎ Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.‎ The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while. ‎ ‎12. What is the text mainly about?‎ - 12 - / 12‎ ‎ A. The experience of the only child being with mother.‎ ‎ B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time. ‎ ‎ C. The happy life of two families.‎ ‎ D. The basic needs of children.‎ ‎13. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.‎ ‎ A. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly ‎14. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?‎ ‎ A. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often.‎ ‎ C. The boys become better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.‎ ‎15. The author seems to believe that ___________.‎ ‎ A. having brothers and sisters is fun ‎ B. it’s tiring to look after three children ‎ ‎ C. every child needs parents’ full attention ‎ D. parents should watch others’ children ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store. 16 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”‎ At first I was paid in candy. 17 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 18 ‎ By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “ What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wa - 12 - / 12‎ nted into makeup（化妆）ideas. 19 ‎ The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. 20 Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.‎ A. Later I received 50 cents an hour.‎ B. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.‎ C. I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.‎ D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.‎ E. My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.‎ F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.‎ G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.‎ 第二部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I went to India for a 2week vacation to visit my relatives.We stopped on a red light，and as always，there was a lot of activity outside the cars near the 21 .People walked in between the cars 22 newspaper，water and a number of kids looked for a bit of charity from the car owners.It’s a familiar 23 in most poor developing countries.‎ While we were 24 for the red light to turn green，I noticed a man outside a couple of 25 in front of ours trying to sell bottles of water.It’s 26 unusual at first.He was a man in his 40s with relatively 27 clothes.But he walked around in a strange way.He 28 his way around the spaces.He was blind.‎ Carrying a couple of water bottles on one hand，he 29 got to the outside of our car.Out of 30 ，my mum decided to buy one water bottle.As she gave the man the money，the light turned green.The cars behind sounded loudly and 31 ，trying to get ahead of traffic.Seeing this，my mum kindly told the man to 32 the change.However，with his superior sense of touch，he quickly 33 his shirt pocket and threw the money at my mum’s 34 .It was - 12 - / 12‎ ‎ the exact change.The cars behind us were really getting out of control，35 we decided to go on our way.‎ I 36 and even cried when I got home.Here’s a blind man，born in 37 ，trying to sell water bottles on the streets to make ends meet.He 38 our sympathy.Life hasn’t been 39 to him，yet he’s giving it his best shot.I think that is what 40 is all about，facing life bravely.‎ ‎21．A.signs 　　B．crossroads C．stations　　 D．theatre ‎22．A.giving　　 B．buying C．selling　　 D．throwing ‎23．A.scene　　 B．play C．activity　　 D．street ‎24．A.watching　 B．asking C．waiting　　 D．changing ‎25.
