Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do? Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped. In this article, Ill describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teens hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesnt matter what the topic is -politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress. 5. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict? A、both can continue for generations. B、Both are about where to draw the line.C、Neither has any clear winner. D、Neither can be put to an end.6. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? A、The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B、The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C、The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D、The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.7. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to _. A、give orders to the other B、know more than the otherC、gain respect from the other D、get the other to behave properly8. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A、Causes for the parent teen conflicts. B、Examples of the parent teen war.C、Solutions for the parent teen problems. D、Future of the parent-teen relationship.C In Korea, it is rude to wear shoes inside som ones house because it is considered dirty. In Saudi Arabia, you should not bring food to someones house because taking food or drink suggests that you think the host cannot afford the meal. More and more people around the world are travelling abroad to study, to go on vacation, or to work, and while it can be a great way to learn about other cultures, there may be times when travelers accidentally annoy their host. The same gesture can have very different meanings in different countries. The gesture meaning OK in the United States means something completely different in Brazil as Ella Yao discovered. Ella had travelled to Brazil to study and was living with a host family. During dinner, her host asked Ella if she was enjoying the meal. Because her mouth was full of food, Ella made a sign with her hand that to her meant OK. Although Ella meant the food was good, this symbol in Brazilian culture is extremely rude and her host was deeply annoyed. While travelling in Thailand, Elizabeth Brown learned that there are differences in food in the United States and Thailand. She stopped at a small, family-owned restaurant in Chiang Mai and ordered spring rolls. She was really enjoying eating them until she got the last one and noticed that there was an insect inside. She complained to the server. Later, she discovered that although insects are disgusting to most Americans, they are considered a delicacy(佳肴) in some countries. All these mistakes can be avoided with some research on cultural differences before you go abroad. However, if you do accidentally annoy someone, quickly apologize, and learn from your mistake. 9. For what reason did Ella make her host angry? A、She spoke with her mouth full. B、Her host misunderstood her gesture.C、She didnt like the meal her host prepared. D、Her host didnt like using body language.10. What happened to Elizabeth Brown in a Thai restaurant? A、She ate an insect. B、She was badly treated.C、She argued with the server. D、She learned insects are welcome there.11. What may be the best title for the text? A、What matters B、When in RomeC、How to be polite D、Why make mistakesD In the late 1950s, a Russian geneticist called Dmitry K. Belyaev attempted to create a tame (驯化的) fox population. Through the work of a breeding programme at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk, in Russia, he sought to find the evolutionary pathway of tame animals. His test subjects were silver-black foxes, a melanistic (带黑色的) version of the red fox that had been bred in farms for the color of their fur. He selected the animals based on how they responded when their cage was opened. About 10% of the foxes displayed a weak “wild-response”, meaning they were docile around humans. Those that hid in the corner or made aggressive voices were left in the farm. Of those friendly foxes, 100 females and 30 males were chosen as the first generations of parents. When the young foxes were born, the researchers hand-fed them. They also attempted to touch or pet the foxes when they were two to two-and-a-half months old, for strictly measured periods at a time. If the young foxes continued to show aggressive response, even after significant human contact, they were thrown away from the populationmeaning they were made into fur coats. In each selection, less than 10% of tame individuals were used as parents of the next generation. By the fourth generation, the scientists started to see dramatic changes. The young foxes were beginning to behave more like dogs. They wagged their tails and “eagerly” sought contact with humans. By 2005-2006, almost all the foxes were playful, friendly and behaving like domestic dogs. The foxes could “read” human hints and respond correctly to gestures or glances. 12. What do we know about Belyaevs breeding plan? A、It explains how red foxes were bred. B、It focuses on how tame animals evolved.C、It explains why pet foxes became popular. D、It concentrates on why tame animals disappeared.13. How did he choose his test foxes in the experiment? A、By appearance. B、By color.C、By reaction. D、By flexibility.14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A、Smart foxes were used for testing. B、The purpose of selection was unclear.C、Friendly foxes were kept on testing. D、The selection was not exact and thorough.15. What is the distinguishing characteristic of the fourth generation foxes? A、Behaving in a friendlier way. B、Eating plants.C、Having drooping ears. D、Having shortened legs.第二节（共5小题，每题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。并将答案填到答题卡上）Money MattersParents should help their children understand money.
