Sometimes you may not understand your parents. One
minute they’re friendly, the next minute they’re shouting and screaming loudly
enough for the whole street to hear. So who makes them so 85 ? You, probably!
When you take your clothes off, remember to 86 . Get into the habit of
taking glasses and plates down to the kitchen. Before long you’ll be doing it
without thinking.
Even though you may not realize it, your parents have bought you many
clothes. But they’re not buying themselves new things every week, are they?
The simple truth is that there are more 87 things to spend money on, like the
electricity bill and food.
You may hate missing a party to visit some boring old relatives. They may
go on and on about what a sweet baby you were. You have no choice but to
listen. Even if you 88 , your parents won’t change their minds. Parents like to
show off their family. The best thing you can do is to help entertain your relatives.
Your parents will be so pleased with you afterwards that they’ll probably allow
you to go to the next two 89 .
You might not want to eat, but think of it from the parents’
point of view. If you cook two meals a day, it means 730
meals a year. Can you imagine how boring this can get?
Imagine how your parents feel when you say you’re not really hungry. 90 ,
your parents are probably worried that you aren’t eating enough.
Eat fewer snacks and leave room for your meals. Finally, offer to 91 after
the meal. Your offer may not be accepted, but your parents will be pleased.

85. （前制性設空）文章第壹段提出，父母的態度往往會
令妳感到詫異，他們有時是那麽友好，忽然間又會生氣地
大聲嚷嚷，由此可以看出，他們的態度是那麽地易變changeable。所以，
本題答案為C。
86. （句子層次的設空）青少年應該培養良好的生活習慣。例如，在家脫
衣後應該及時掛 上。B項leave them alone 表示“讓它們獨自留下”；
C項put them up 表示“把他們穿上”；D項throw them away表示“把它們扔掉”，
以上答案顯然均不符合文章意思，而A項hang them up 正是“把衣服掛上”
的意思，所以答案為A。
87. （後制性設空）家長會給孩子買許多衣服，但他們不會經常為自己購
物，那是因為他們要考慮維持家庭生計，他們往往把錢花在更重要的事
情上，所以答案為C。
88. （前制性設空）妳有時會去拜訪那些無聊又年長的親戚，他們會壹遍
又壹遍地嘮叨妳 小時候的乖巧可愛，而妳只能洗耳恭聽（They may go on
and on about what a sweet baby you were. You have no choice but to listen.）
顯然，妳會對此而抱怨，但家長們仍不以為然
（… your parents won’t change their minds.），所以本題答案為B。

89. （前制性設空） 如果能幫助招待好妳的親戚，妳的
家長會感到十分滿意，也會允許妳出席以後的更多的這
種聚會。選項A、B、C與聚會無關，應予淘汰。所以，本題答案為D。
90. （語篇性設空）每日吃飯時，應該想到家長的艱辛。當妳說妳並不餓
時，家長不但會有內心的不快，另外會擔心妳吃得過少而影響身體
（Imagine how your parents feel when you say you’re not really hungry. …,
your parents are probably worried that you aren’t eating enough.）。根據文
章內容，空格處應填入“除此之外”的意思，所以本題答 案為A。
91. （前制性設空）文章結尾告誡我們要少吃零食，要留出吃飯的空間
（Eat fewer snacks and leave room for your meals.）。飯後也要提出幫助
父母做些事情，盡管有時不會得到他們的許可。從四個選項中，我們可
以看到D項符合飯後可做的事，A項do the cooking 表示“煮飯”，
B項lay the table表示“擺餐具、飯桌”均發生在飯前，C項buy some snacks
與上文“少吃零食”的論述矛盾，所以答案為D。
