五、词汇运用。
根据短文意思和首字母提示，写出一个完整正确的单词。
Why do parents have such a difficult time c 1 openly and honestly with their teens? For this, there are many r 2 but most of them start from not being able to properly understand their teens. It is a dangerous gap because parents will have to communicate with their teens about a wide variety of issues(问题) during the most important years of their l 3. Thus, parents must know how to communicate openly and honestly with their teens.
Here are a few t 4 to make communication easier between parents and teenagers.
• Try not to talk down to your teen. Make him or her feel as if his or her views really matter, which not only helps your d 5 with your teen but also brings you closer to him or her.
• I 6 what it would be like to be a teen. Try to remember some of the negative(负面的) feelings you e 7 as a teenager and apply them to your teen's situation.
• Avoid m 8 negative remarks about what your teen has said or done.
• Remember how much courage it would have taken for your teen to come and talk to you about his or her p 9 issues. So l 10 respectfully.

六、阅读理解。(2025·江苏盐城期中)
Very soon after Roberta wrote to the old gentleman, the three children were walking through the tunnel when they heard a cry.
The children ran deeper into the tunnel. Before long, they found a boy. He was lying on the ground.
“What happened?” Roberta asked him.
“I’m Jim. I was walking through the tunnel when I fell over. I think I’ve broken my leg.” “The 11:15 train is coming soon,” Peter said. “We must get you out of here.”
“I’ve been here for two hours,” the boy said. “I was on my way to the station to catch the train. It’s quicker through the tunnel than along the road.”
“It’s also more dangerous,” Roberta said.
Peter said, “We’ve got to get you out.” Then Peter and Phyllis helped Jim up. It was a difficult journey, but the children got there before the 11:15 train did. Finally, a signalman helped them and took Jim to Peter’s home.
Mother called for a doctor and helped Jim rest. The doctor said Jim needed to stay in bed for at least a month. “Can he stay with us?” Peter said. “We’d love to have a friend of our own age.” “Sure,” said Mother.
A few days later, Jim’s grandfather came to take Jim home. The children were surprised to see him. “You’re our old gentleman!” they exclaimed.
“That’s right,” he said. “And I got your letter, Roberta.” “What letter?” Mother asked.
“Roberta wrote to me about her father,” the old gentleman said. “I was not surprised by what she said. I have thought for a long time that he couldn’t have done such a terrible thing. It was not possible that a guilty(有罪的) man could have such wonderful children. I think I can help you. Your father will soon be free again.”
Two weeks later, their father came back home.
