4、hers life.In 1995, I graduated from college, like many 22year olds, with plenty of uncertainty.

10、terC. How I Came to Appreciate My Fathers LettersD. What We Know About Kids After Being Parents【参考答案】1. A细节理解题。根据第二段中“They detailed what Dad referred to as the week that wasa daybyday description of my fathers life.(他们详细描述了父亲所说的那一周对父亲生活的一天又一天的描述。)”可知，作者父亲的信主要讲了日常的细节。故选A。2. D词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Some of my
11、questions were pretty typical：What was I going to do？Where was I going to live？When was I going to apply for graduate school？But one question was more”以及后文“What would happen to the weekly letters？Would they continue？”可知作者有一些问题是关于自己要做什么？要住在哪里？打算什么时候申请研究生？但有一个问题比其他任何事情都重要，那就是每周的信件会怎么样呢？他们会继续吗？故画线词意思为“
12、重要的”。故选D。3. B细节理解题。根据第四段中“And I never fully understood why my dad would always ask if Id received the letter when we spoke.(我一直不能完全理解为什么我父亲总是在我们谈话的时候问我是否收到了那封信。)”以及倒数第二段中“But now, as I pen my first official letters to my own sons Jackson and Cassius, it all seems clear.(但现在，当我给我自己的儿子杰克逊和卡修斯写第一封正式信件时

Just the idea of their leaving from our home makes me ache with sadness only a parent can know.(虽然我们的孩子们还没有去上大学，但我不得不接受这一天很快就会到来的事实。一想到他们要离开我们的
14、家，我就感到只有父母才能体会到的心痛。)”结合文章主要记叙了作者父亲在作者上大学后每周都会给作者写一封信，信里都是日常的一些琐事。甚至作者大学毕业后，这些信也没有中断过，一开始作者不理解父亲的行为，直到作者自己成了一名父亲，开始给自己的儿子们写信，才开始感受到只有父母才能体会到的心痛，开始欣赏起父亲的信。故C选项“我是如何开始欣赏父亲的来信的”最符合文章标题。故选C。 【Passage 2】The Missing Tooth 丢失的牙齿文章来源：同步练习题 体裁：记叙文 词数：278 【文章导读】 本文是一篇记叙文，文章通过讲述孩子掉了一颗乳牙，描写了自己对待孩子成长的情绪变化。【你的笔记】O
15、n Friday afternoon when I picked Gabriel up from school, he came running towards me smiling widely. Straight away I noticed a gap on the bottom row of his teeth. I felt my heart stop for a moment.

16、 enough to lose teeth, was he？！Before I managed to ask him, he shouted “Mummy! Mummy！Ive lost a tooth！” To my amazement, Gabriel appeared to be happy！“Wow! When did that happen？” I asked. He thought for a few seconds and told me that he wasnt sure. He remembered eating a cake at lunchtime, and later
17、 when he checked in the mirror, his tooth was gone! No pain, no stressing and no worries!I admit I did feel a little emotional.

22、teeth. I felt my heart stop for a moment. At first I thought perhaps he had had some accident, such as falling down the stairs. Gabriel wasnt old enough to lose teeth, was he？！(我立刻注意到他的牙齿下排有一个缺口。我感到我的心脏停止了一会儿。起初我以为他可能出了什么事故，比如从楼梯上摔下来。加布里埃尔还不到掉牙的年龄，是吗！)”可知，作者发现孩子掉了颗牙，原来以为孩子不到掉牙的年龄，担心孩子是出了事故，心脏还紧张一会儿，
23、所以推断作者当时心情焦虑。故选B。 2. D推理判断题。根据第二段中“He remembered eating a cake at lunchtime, and later when he checked in the mirror, his tooth was gone！(他记得午饭时吃了一块蛋糕，后来当他照镜子的时候，他的牙齿不见了！)”可以推断，他是在吃午饭的时候掉的牙。故选D。3. C推理判断题。根据第三段中“I admit I did feel a little emotional. We focused the early years on his teeth growing, b
24、ut now Gabriel would lose all those baby teeth and get adult ones！(我承认我确实有点情绪激动。我们早年专注于他的牙齿生长，但现在加布里埃尔将失去所有的乳牙，长出成人的牙齿！)”以及后文讲述的儿童换牙时期所做的一些事情，给牙仙子写信，告知爸爸等可知，作者一开始情绪紧张，到现在已经接受了加布里埃尔的成长。故选C。4. A主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者围绕着孩子掉的一颗牙，描写了自己从情绪焦虑到接受孩子的成长，再到为孩子的成长而感到骄傲。所以，选项A“丢失的牙齿”点明主题，简明扼要，吸引读者，适合作标题。故选A。【Passage 3】

29、y carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality（平等）can also result in less respect for parents. “Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening，” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at
30、 Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer many reasons for these evolving（进化的）roles and attitudes.

31、process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40yearolds, were on the after side，” explains Mr. Ballmer. “Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal wit

C词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句后面的“From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in different directions. (从服装和发型到活动和期望，早期的父母和孩子往往表现出不同的方向。)”可知，前文是讲音乐
35、并不是仅有的不同。由此可知，画线词gulf意为“不同”。故选C。2. B细节理解题。根据第七段第一句“But family experts warn that the new equality(平等) can also result in less respect for parents. (但家庭专家警告说，新的平等也会导致对父母的尊重减少。)”可知，现在的亲子关系出现了新的平等。故选B。3. B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager(他还
36、记得自己十几岁时和父母的关系比较疏远)”及第五段中的“Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families.(今天，代沟没有消失，但它在许多家庭正在缩小。)”可知，文章将过去的亲子关系中的疏远和代沟与现在的亲子关系中的相对亲密和平等进行了对比和分析，所以文章的目的是讨论亲子关系的发展。故选B。【Passage 4】Family Unity Builds Success 家庭团结的重要性文章来源：同步练习题 体裁：记叙文 词数：301 【文章导读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Hel
