Question

4．For many parents，raising a teenager is like fighting a long war，but years go by without any clear winner．Like a border conflict（边境冲突） between neighboring countries，the parent-teen war is about boundaries：Where is the line between what I control and what you do？
Both sides want peace，but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict．In part，this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it．From the parents'point of view，the only cause of their fight is their adolescents'complete unreasonableness．And of course，the teens see it in exactly the same way，except oppositely． Both feel trapped．
In this article，I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly appear between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap．The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things．Examples include the color of the teen's hair，the cleanliness of the bedroom，the preferred style of clothing，the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school，or his tendency（趋势） to sleep until noon on the weekends．Second，blaming．The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong．Third，needing to be right．It doesn't matter what the topic is-politics，the laws of physics，or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong，for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect．Unfortunately，as long as parents and teens continue to assume（假设） that they know more than the other，they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了把父母和孩子的关系比作国家与国家的关系，并给出了三种出现矛盾的情况．

解答 25．B．细节理解题．根据第一段后2行Like a border conflict between neighboring countries，the parent-teen war is about boundaries：Where is the line between what I control and what you do？说明这两者的相似之处在于界线的问题，故B正确．
26．A．推理判断题．根据From the parents'point of view，the only cause of their fight is their adolescents'complete unreasonableness．And of course，the teens see it in exactly the same way，except oppositely．说明父母认为孩子的无理是导致问题的所在，而孩子也有同样的想法，认为父母是争论出现的主要原因，故A项正确．
27．C．细节理解题．根据文章倒数3，4，5行for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect．说明父母和孩子都想证明自己是对的，认为自己是权威，需要对方的尊敬．故C正确．
28．C．推理判断题．在文章最后一段中Unfortunately，as long as parents and teens continue to assume（假设） that they know more than the other，they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress提出了父母和孩子之间出现问题的三种情况，那么接下来就应该讨论的是对这些问题的解决方法，故C正确．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
