大学生英语竞赛C类阅读理解专项强化真题试卷20
第四部分
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modem ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems—and that they have no sense of humour, at least in parent-child relationships.
[79] I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they felt themselves when they were young.
1.The first paragraph is mainly about______.(A)
A. teenagers’ criticism of their parents
B. misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents
C. the dominance of parents over their children
D. teenagers’ ability to deal with crises
解析：第一段主要探讨的是青少年对父母的批评，首句出现关键词critical。其他选项“家长与青少年间的误解”、“家长对青少年的控制”和“青少年处理危机的能力”都是支持主题句的细节。
2.Teenagers have strange clothes and hairstyles because they______.(B)
A. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste
B. want to prove their existence by creating a culture of their own
C. have no other way to enjoy themselves
D. want to irritate their parents
解析：第三段提到青少年很难融入成人世界，因此要“创造他们自己的文化来证明他们的存在”。根据第三段末句可知“对于成为有风格和品味的领导者”，他们没有那么强烈的欲望，A项错误。C项“没有其他放松的方式”与文中additional enjoyment矛盾。D项“惹怒家长”不是他们的动机／目的。
3.Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of what they do because they______.(D)
A. have already been accepted into the adult world
B. feel that they are superior to adults in a small way
C. want to win adults over to their culture
D. don’t want to appear to be disloyal to their own age group
解析：倒数第二段第二句提到“如果家长赞同孩子的做法，青少年就觉得背叛了自己的同龄人。”
4.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when they were young.
我认为，父母常常低估他们十几岁的孩子，而且还忘记了他们自己小时候的感受。
解析：(“it is true that”可略去不译，when引导的时间状语从句可以译为定语“自己小时候”。)
5.You can also impress other people with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
你可以用你的责任感和主动性去影响别人，因而他们(父母)才能给你权利去做你想要做的事情。
解析：(impress sb．with sth．“用…感染某人，使某人印象深刻”。authority权利。what you want to do是宾语从句。so that因此，因而。)
