25、母有相似的感觉。2B由第一句 “Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers.”父母和孩子之间相处困难,可知他们之间有争论,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 childrens 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(
26、drop)在浴室。6A根据后句中 “some approaches”可知选A项,句意为: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,这样只会有更少的机会改变他们的行为,即几乎无法改变他们的行为。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”“在冰箱里就找不到自己最喜欢的饮料”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 “Comm
27、unication 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,即父母要向子女说出(talk)他们的想法,同时也要倾听子女的想法。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“scold”。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。故选C项。概要写作Humankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civi
