It is natural that young people are often 1.uncomfortable(comfort) when they are with their parents.

Parents often find 3.it difficult to win their children's trust and they always forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people like to act without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Adults worry 4.more (much) easily. Most of them plan things ahead.
Young people make their parents angry with their 5.choices(choose) in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: It just shows that they feel cut off 6.from the adult's world, and they have not yet been accepted into their world. That's why young people want to make a new culture of 7.their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people very happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is 8.to be left(leave) alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after 9.being (be) a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents' control.

Ⅴ.短文改错
As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others.
This is really a common phenomena in our life. The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people involved in phones fail to communicate well with these around them.
As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help their work and study. Meanwhile, care much about their family and friends rather than mobile phones.
答案：第一句：第一个去掉to; addicting→addicted
第二句：phenomena→phenomenon
第三句：why→that; kept→keep
第四句：Therefore→However; are→is
第五句：these→those
第六句：在help后加with
第七句：much→more

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Grandfather and 3yearold boys are natural buddies. On this particular day in May, the grandfather was pleased to have the company of his best little pal when planting the vegetable garden. For a while, the boy seemed to like it too. His small fingers were just the right size to pick up tiny seeds and drop them into Granddadmade holes. They were a great team.
But before long the boy became restless and directed his anger at the seeds themselves.
“What's this one, Granddad？”
“Beets (甜菜)．”
“Ugh, I hate beets.”
“Well, then, let's do the pumpkin instead.”
“Yuck. I really hate pumpkin.”
“Okay, buddy. What would you like to plant？”
“How about ... doughnuts (油炸圈饼)？”
Just in time, the grandfather stopped himself from saying there was no such thing as a doughnut seed. Looking at the unhappy little face, he suddenly got an inspiration.
“Wait a second. I have to go inside and get the right seeds.”
Granddad returned with a handful of seeds. He and the small boy solemnly planted them in a special corner of the vegetable garden.
Weeks later, when the real seeds began to break through the soil, the boy became delighted with the tiny seedlings (秧苗)．He spent many afternoons helping Granddad water and hoe (用锄头锄) and watch them grow.And when the first baby vegetables were harvested, he liked them after all.
For weeks, he forgot all about the doughnuts.But then one day at lunch, he said，“Granddad, what happened to our doughnuts？How come they didn't grow？”
Granddad paused a moment.“Well, you know, doughnuts are tricky.Some years when you plant them, you get lots of doughnuts.”He sighed sadly.“But other years, all that comes up are the holes.”
语篇解读：祖孙总是完美的搭档。文章描述在菜园种菜时，小孙子不耐烦而央求爷爷种油炸圈饼的场景。爷爷借机告诉了小孙子，好收成时有时没有的道理。1.From the first half of the conversation we can learn that the boy .
A．possibly doesn't like vegetables
B．hates planting anything
C．doesn't like playing with his Granddad
D．hates planting vegetables because of his small hands
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据祖孙两人对话的前半部分可知，小孩不喜欢蔬菜而喜欢油炸圈饼。故选A。
2．The boy became interested in the vegetables later because .
A．he liked them from the very beginning
B．those vegetables were the kinds he liked
C．his Granddad advised him to do so
D．they were the fruits of his own labour
解析：选D 推理判断题。虽然孩子开始对蔬菜不感兴趣，但是却对那些秧苗感兴趣，这是因为他看到了自己的劳动成果。故选D。
3．What do Granddad's words imply in the last paragraph?
A．Doughnuts sometimes grow into fruits but other times not.
B．Doughnuts like to do tricks.
C．You can get only holes if you plant doughnuts.
D．All jobs do not produce good results.
解析：选D 推理判断题。祖父的话表明有时会有好收成有时却没有。故选D。
B
On June 2, 2015, President Barack Obama awarded Henry Johnson, a World War Ⅰ soldier, the Medal of Honor. It was the result of a long campaign for a soldier whose heroism had gone unrecognized because of racial discrimination.
Johnson was one of the soldiers serving as guards in France in 1918 when they were surrounded by more than a dozen Germans. The Germans opened fire on them, wounding Johnson over 20 times, but he fought on even after his weapon wouldn't fire anymore.
Though praised by his fellow soldiers and awarded the French Croix de Guerre (法国英勇十字勋章), he was denied the Medal of Honor in his own country.
The efforts to get the soldier recognized have been filled with starts and stops. The work was supported by the office of Charles Schumer, who handed in a 1,258page recommendation for the award in May 2011 after a great many new documents were discovered.
“A lot of people advocated for this over a long period of time，” said a member of Schumer's, Caroline Wekselbaum, who had spent thousands of hours on Johnson's case.
Their effort to get Johnson the Medal of Honor was blocked in 2003 by Air Force General Richard Myers, who wanted more evidence.
But Schumer's office kept looking for more documentation. One of their findings was a telegram during the war, which mentioned the heroism of Johnson.
Caroline expressed disappointment at the way Johnson was treated. As a black soldier, he and his colleagues were sent to the shorthanded French military, but not allowed to fight in the U．S. force.
Johnson's life after World War Ⅰ was filled with highs and lows. His injuries were never properly documented, so he did not receive any medical benefits. He died poor in July 1929, 11 years after his heroism.
语篇解读：一位一战黑人士兵100年后获得奥巴马总统的认可。
4．Obama awarded Henry Johnson in order to .
A．show the equality between all races
B．correct a mistake he had made
C．set a good example for soldiers
D．approve Henry Johnson's heroism
解析：选D 推理判断题。通读全文可知，一战黑人士兵Henry Johnson的英勇行为在将近100年以后的今天才获得认可，奥巴马总统亲自颁发勋章。
5．What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．Johnson fought bravely without weapons.
B．Johnson was too seriously wounded to fight on.
C．Johnson's fellow soldiers thought highly of him.
D．Johnson was awarded the Medal of Honor by France.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Johnson在枪里没有子弹以后还继续战斗，而不是没有武器徒手与敌人战斗，所以A是错误的；Johnson受了20多处伤，但一直坚持战斗，所以B项是错误的；从第三段前半句里的“praised by his fellow soldiers”可知，C项是正确的；从后半句可知，the Medal of Honor是美国的一种勋章，法国授予Johnson的是the French Croix de Guerre，所以D项是错误的。
6．How can we understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A．People had great difficulty in getting the government to recognize Johnson.
B．The work of making the government recognize Johnson went very well.
C．A great many people started the case of Johnson and then stopped.
D．People made great efforts to get Johnson recognized but failed.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据画线句子中的starts and stops以及第六段的例子可知，让Johnson得到官方认可这项工作困难重重，极其不顺利，所以A选项最符合题意。
7．What on earth resulted in Johnson's being mistreated?
A．Lack of evidence of his actions.
B．Racial discrimination.
C．His fighting for French military.
D．No documentation of his injuries.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后的“because of racial discrimination”以及倒数第二段的“As a black soldier”可看出，造成Johnson受到不公待遇的根本原因是种族歧视，故选B项。
C
Cities around the world have started to use composting (堆肥) as a way to recycle organic waste and reduce the amount of landfills (填埋) and pollution. Cities spend hundreds of millions of dollars transporting waste to landfills, which also burns fuel and contributes to global warming. Compost is made out of organic waste, such as rotten leaves, leftover fruits, vegetables, egg shells and other foods. It recycles organic materials into fertilizer (肥料) for plants and vegetables.
South Korea uses a system for the effective collection of garbage waste and the reuse of natural resources. Garbage must be separated according to “common garbage，” “food waste recyclables” and “large waste objects”， or the resident will be fined. In Canada, millions have access to roadside organic waste collection. Residents are expected to sort their kitchen waste and place it in the appropriate bins for collection. New York City started a composting pilot program in 2013, with workshops for individuals an NYC schools, such as worm composting — using worms to help turn the organic material into compost for fertilizer by eating the waste and passing it through their bodies.
Some people are not excited about composting. For example, in June 2013, some New York residents complained about the smell of the composting site in the park. It can also be difficult to remember to separate organic waste from regular waste.
But in Portland, Oregon, which has had a composting program for two years now, residents report that they have got used to the downsides. “It's encouraging us to make less waste, and it doesn't smell bad anymore, because our food leftovers are going out more often，” Portland resident Kendra Yao told Oregon Public Radio.
语篇解读：一些城市开始把堆肥作为一种处理垃圾的有效方法。
8．Which is NOT the advantage of composting according to Paragraph 1?
A．Reducing pollution.
B．Recycling organic waste.
C．Contributing to global warming.
D．Saving money used to transport waste to landfills.
解析：选C 细节理解题。第一段第二句提到运送垃圾到填埋场耗费燃料，加剧气候变暖，这是运送垃圾的弊端，显然不是堆肥的益处。
9．From Paragraph 2 we learn that .
A．a South Korean will be fined if he doesn't sort garbage
B．only kitchen waste is expected to be sorted in Canada
C．worm composting is the best way of compost in NYC
D．composting systems are operated all over the world
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可判断A是正确的；B选项中的only是错误的；在纽约，worm composing是composting pilot program的一个项目，但没提到是the best way，所以C项错误；本段只是列举了几个实行堆肥的城市，并不说明世界各地都这么做，所以D项错误。
10．What does the underlined word “it”refer to in Paragraph 2?
A．Compost. B．Fertilizer.
C．The waste. D．The pilot program.
解析：选C 代词指代题。worm composting是指蚯蚓吃了废物，废物经过蚯蚓的身体变成肥料，所以“it”这里指“the waste”。
11．What does Paragraph 3 tell us?
A．The future of composting.
B．The problems of composting.
C．People's opinions about composting.
D．The bad effects of composting on people's lives.
解析：选B 段落大意题。第三段举例说明堆肥过程中存在的问题，所以选择B项。没提到“未来的发展前景”，故排除A项；这里只是列举了反对观点，C项中的“People's opinions”太笼统；本段最后一句是说人们很难总是记住垃圾分类，这并不是堆肥对人们生活的不良影响，所以D项的表述是片面的。
D
A peace treaty is a formal agreement between two or more countries that have formerly been at war. The treaty is a contract designed to cease wars immediately or other requirements to ensure peace. Many of the most famous wars of history ended with a peace treaty. In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.
Wars are conducted by governments or other opposing bodies for a variety of reasons. When one force has superior combat strength, the war often ends with bloody conquest.When forces are evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years, with tremendous losses on both sides.In these cases，diplomacy often triumphs where strong force fails to resolve the conflict.A peace treaty is a common way for opposing forces to end wars and begin the process of rebuilding.
In modern history, Paris has long been the site for the signing of peace treaties, as it is often a neutral (中立的) location.The American Revolution ended with the 1783 Paris Peace Treaty, while Napoleon acknowledged defeat with the Treaty of Paris in 1815.
During the Indian wars of the 18th and 19th centuries，the American government got a bad prestige for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted.The Treaty of Versailles，which officially ended World War Ⅰ in 1919, imposed serious punishments on Germany, the defeated party.These punishments damaged the German economy and caused bitter anger among the German people.Many historians believe these conditions led to the rise of the Nazi party and the Second World War.
In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.The Vietnam War, the Korean Conflict, and France's Algerian War ended with agreements that slowed combat gradually over a period of years rather than bringing an immediate peace.Modern war is a messy business that is difficult to control through such civilized measures as a signed contract.Nevertheless, diplomats work diligently to ensure that conflicts are resolved, one way or the other by eventual peace.
语篇解读：战争的双方签署了和平条约，就真正意味着战争的结束吗？
12．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Wars will last for long when the combat strength of both sides is similar.
B．World War Ⅰ in 1919 ended up with the sign of the Treaty of Versailles.
C．German Nazi party rose because it was defeated during World War Ⅰ in 1919.
D．True peace requires the diplomats' diligent work and people's awareness.
解析：选A 细节理解题。从第二段中的“When forces are evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years”可知，当交战的双方势均力敌的时候，战争会持续更长的时间。
13．What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?
A．A peace treaty is often ignored by the defeated side.
B．Some countries don't want to sign peace treaties.
C．A peace treaty does not always mean the end of wars.
D．The defeated side often suffers great from punishments.
解析：选C 段落大意题。通读本段可知，作者在本段列举了两个例子说明了，尽管战争的双方签署了和平条约，但是这并非真正意味着战争的结束，有时候会因为某一方的忽视而导致更多的战争。
14．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．peace treaties are less effective in modern times
B．the stronger side suffers more during a war
C．peace treaties are often signed by neutral countries
D．there are more conflicts or wars in modern times
解析：选A 推理判断题。从第一段中的“In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.” 以及最后一段中的“In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.”可知，在当今世界，和平条约对于真正消除战争所起到的作用并不是很大的。
15．The underlined word in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “ ”．
A．power B．experience
C．reputation D．influence
解析：选C 词义猜测题。由“for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted”可知，美国政府没有尊重先前与印第安人部落签署的条约，因此在国际上的声誉很不好。

While the thought of family travel may make you in a panic, here is some advice from seasoned travelers, travel agents and other experts to help you reduce the stress.
16．
You need to decide as soon as possible when everyone can leave and return. Fares are only going up. To wait until the last minute in hopes of getting a deal just creates more stress.
Manage expectations.
No vacation is ever perfect, so don't overpromise. 17. Bags can get lost, flights can get canceled and people can say and do the wrong things.
Make it a team effort.
Allow everyone to voice suggestions in planning. 18. Multigenerational groups, in particular, have a wide range of needs and interests: Older grandparents may have health issues; active teenagers and young adults will be seeking ageappropriate activities and entertainment.
Choose a leader.
We need someone to make final decisions and assign (分派) tasks. Generally, the middle generation (travelers aged from 35 to 54) tends to take the lead when it comes to planning for multigenerational travel.

参考范文：
I love peace and hate war
As we all know, war is still a serious problem in the world today, and I must say I love peace and hate war.
There's no doubt that people all over the world long for peace. Peace is of great benefit to the world. With peace, all the countries in the world can establish harmonious relationships and promote advanced development hand in hand. Peace gives individuals enough freedom and guarantees that we can work and study happily. War, on the other hand, is the root of disasters, which leads to economic depression, the spread of terrible diseases and severe famine.
All in all, for the good of our whole world, it is our responsibility to say no to war and make contributions to world peace.
不论何时，都要尽可能让思考与反省预见到突发的激情，这于审慎者可轻而易举做到。心烦意乱之时，首先要做的就是意识到这一点。先控制住自己的情绪，下决心不再使之加剧。有了这种高明的防范，就能很快终止怒气。要懂得制怒之法，且止息于当止之时：奔跑时停下来最难；狂怒时保持头脑清醒也一样难。过分激动，不论程度高低，都会影响理智。一旦对发怒有了这种警醒，就不会使你因怒气而失控，也不会使你损害良好的辨别力。谨慎地驾驭情绪，就能很好地控制它。你将是马背上第一个理智的人。智者最没有耐性，因为学识减少了他们的耐心。知识渊博的人很难被取悦。俄庀泰特斯告诉我们，生活最重要的准则在于懂得如何忍受一切。他认为这是智慧的一半真谛。容忍愚蠢需要极大的耐心。有时最令我们痛苦的人正是我们最依赖的人，这帮助我们战胜自我。耐心能带来无可估量的内心平静；而内心平静是世间的福祉。不懂得如何容忍他人的人如果还能忍受他自己的话，就应当独处。
