24、同方法，有的方法较另一些方法更有效果，最后一段是心理学家对解决冲突给出的建议。1D根据第一句中的difficult以及第二句中的again和 “not easy”可知青少年和父母有相似的感觉。2B由第一句 “Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. ”可知，父母和孩子之间相处困难，他们之间有争论，即对事物有不同的看法(argument)。3C根据上文untidiness和 “daily routine tasks”，填空所在的句子和后文的 “clothes thrown on the floor and their ch
25、ildrens refusal . . . ”形成并列关系，可知用messy。4B与上文说的孩子把家弄乱，到处乱扔衣服并列的应是拒绝帮忙做家务。5C与后文不打扫房间，不去买东西并列，即把毛巾丢(drop)在浴室。6A根据后句中 “some approaches”，可知选A。句意：不同的家长有着不同的解决问题的方法(approach)。7D由下文中的better可知，有些方法较为成功。8A父母责骂他们乱，但稍后(later)就为他们整理房间，这样几乎没有机会改变他们孩子的行为。9A从下文多次出现的actions可知。10C根据下文所举的例子“不帮父母去买东西的话在冰箱里就找不到自己最喜欢的饮料”
26、可知，这是让孩子“感受到自己的行为产生的后果”。11D根据 “are forced to”可知，孩子们被迫重新考虑自己的行为。12A根据本段倒数第二句出现的 “Communication is a twoway process. ”以及上文一直强调父母与孩子应如何沟通，可知选A项。13D“talk to”与say是同义复现，即父母要向孩子说出(talk)他们的想法，同时也要倾听孩子的想法。14B由上文的blame可知，当父母看到孩子把家里弄乱时会责备他们，所以选B项。15C只有通过倾听和相互理解(understanding)，父母与孩子之间的问题才可得到解决。语法填空Wu Zetian, th
