解题分析:考查同义重现与上下文语义逻辑。本句说有些父母因为孩子的邋遢而冲孩子大喊大叫,但是之后却又为孩子打扫房间。很明显,这样做的话很少有机会能改变孩子们的不良行为。下文中也出现了同义词action, 所以正确答案为A。
10. 【答案】C
选项翻译:A. 失败;B. 改变;C. 结果,后果;D. 兴奋

解题分析:考查反义转折逻辑。根据下文but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say可知,父母要倾听孩子的想法,是作为倾听者,而由but可知,上文应该是说父母要和孩子交谈,是作为教导者。所以正确答案为D。
14. 【答案】B
选项翻译:A. 讨厌;B. 责骂;C. 恐吓,使……害怕;D. 阻止,使停止
解题分析:考查同义重现和反义转折逻辑。根据下文信息but they should also understand that their room is their own private space可知,父母应该理解孩子,因为上文与下文表意相反,所以上文应该是父母“不理解”孩子,而“不理解”就会导致“责骂”,而且文章的第一段也出现了blame一词,scold与其意义接近,所以正确答案为B。
15. 【答案】C
选项翻译:A. 爱;B. 观察;C. 理解;D. 表扬
解题分析:考查段落主题。本段一直在说父母与孩子间的交流,交流意味着相互倾听和理解,所以正确答案为C。

解题分析:考查语法结构与上下文语义逻辑。根据上文妻子的话可以看出她很生气,此处是说作者能够看出妻子很生气。所以正确答案为A。选项B不可选,因为must强调主观性,用在此处不合适。
6. 【答案】D

解题分析:根据下文信息my explanation seemed to make things worse可知,作者的解释似乎让情况更糟糕了,由此可推测,上下文之间应为转折关系,故此处用however表示语义转折,说明作者的解释不起效果。所以正确答案为A。
8. 【答案】C

13. 【答案】B
选项翻译:A. 滑稽的;B. 重要的;C. 可能的;D. 简单的
解题分析:上文提到But that's not the poin, 意为“这都不是(交流的)重点。”那么本句应该是要说重点,意为“重要的是你的迟到对埃莉诺造成了什么影响。”所以正确答案为B。
14. 【答案】A
选项翻译:A. 然而;当……时;B. 在……之后;C. 直到;D. 除非
解题分析:根据上文信息I focused on the intention和下文信息Eleanor focused on the result可知,作者关注的是意图,埃莉诺关注的是结果,他们关注的点不一样,前后两个分句是一种对比关系,所以正确答案为A。while在此处意为“然而”,表示对比关系。
15. 【答案】C
选项翻译:A. 所有;B. 任何一方都不;C. 双方都;D. 两个都不
解题分析:考查语法结构。句中的us指的是作者和他妻子两个人,应该用bot, 表示他们俩都觉得被误解,感到恼火。所以正确答案为C。

解题分析:根据上下文语义逻辑可知,通过思考朋友的话,作者渐渐地认识到他和妻子之间出现分歧的根本原因,所以正确答案为D。
17. 【答案】B
选项翻译:A. 鼓励,激励;B. 事关紧要,要紧;C. 提高,改善;D. 挑战
解题分析:考查语法结构和同义重现。本句是一个强调句型,原句是the result of the action really matter, 意为“行动的结果是真正重要的”。matter表示“事关紧要”,与上段中提到的important语义呼应,所以正确答案为B。
18. 【答案】A
选项翻译:A. 怎样;B. 为什么;C. 何时;D. 什么
解题分析:考查语法结构和原词重现。首先what不能选,因为what主要作主语或宾语,而空格所在宾语从句的主谓宾结构完整,所以只能选剩下三个选项,而剩下三个选项都作状语,所以只能依靠上下文来进行选择。上段提到What is important in your communication is how your lateness affected Eleano, 所以本空应填ho, 与上文呼应。故选项A正确。
19. 【答案】D
选项翻译:A. 比较;B. 报告;C. 完成;D. 避免
解题分析:根据上下文语义逻辑可知,本段作者在进行反思,认为应该先向妻子说明自己迟到的行为如何影响到了她,而不是去讨论迟到的原因,所以正确答案为D。此处save不是常用的“拯救”的意思,而是意为“避免(出现困难或不愉快的事)”。
20. 【答案】C
选项翻译:A. 展示;B. 使满意;C. 理解;D. 破坏
解题分析:根据上下文语义逻辑可知,在和朋友交流后,作者也真正理解了自己的迟到对妻子产生的影响,所以正确答案为C。
