這篇文章講的是關于大家都知道但都不知道該如何處理的一個問題——代溝。代溝時時處處都有,怎樣對待它?作者給了我們一點較好的建議,相互理解,換位思考,相信這個世界一定會變得更美麗。
答案簡析
1.A。很顯然代溝已經是一個很嚴重的問題。
2.C。從下文可知這是報紙上的一篇報道。
3.D。這篇文章是關于代溝的問題,所以應該是孩子和父母吵架后自殺,而不是和其他人。
4.A。 stay, work 不可能與time組成詞組,have time不符合上下文的意思。
5.D。本句與下文的關系是因果關系。
6.C。本句意為“因此就沒有許多時間和小孩呆在一起,這樣就會產生代溝”(與文章所談論的話題相符)。所以不可能選其他選項。
7.D。指父母與小孩雙方都有這樣的感覺。
8.B。沒有共同的話題。其他選項雖無語法錯誤,但不符合文章的意思。
9.A。the same topics to talk about,這里動詞不定式充當定語修飾前面的名詞,同時the same topics又是about的賓語。意為所談論的話題。
10.B。當然應是多和小孩子一起。
11.C。這幾個詞組放在這兒都沒有語法錯誤,父母一般說來都要和小孩相處(A)、照顧他們(B)、愛他們(D),但作者的意思是父母要理解小孩。
12.D。把自己的感覺告訴給父母。
13.B。從常識不難推斷。意為“他們是愛你們的人”。
14.A。把你們的內心所想告訴他們。say在這里有語法錯誤,ask與answer意思不對。
15.A。這樣你們才會更好地相互理解。這里強調“會,能”,故用can 。
