這篇文章講的是關(guān)于大家都知道但都不知道該如何處理的一個問題——代溝。代溝時時處處都有，怎樣對待它?作者給了我們一點較好的建議，相互理解，換位思考，相信這個世界一定會變得更美麗。

答案簡析

A。很顯然代溝已經(jīng)是一個很嚴重的問題。

C。從下文可知這是報紙上的一篇報道。

D。這篇文章是關(guān)于代溝的問題，所以應(yīng)該是孩子和父母吵架后自殺，而不是和其他人。

A。stay， work 不可能與time組成詞組，have time不符合上下文的意思。因此用spend，意為把更多的時間花在工作上。

D。本句與下文的關(guān)系是因果關(guān)系。

C。本句意為“因此就沒有許多時間和小孩呆在一起，這樣就會產(chǎn)生代溝”(與文章所談?wù)摰脑掝}相符)。所以不可能選其他選項。

D。指父母與小孩雙方都有這樣的感覺。

B。沒有共同的話題。其他選項雖無語法錯誤，但不符合文章的意思。

A。the same topics to talk about，這里動詞不定式充當定語修，飾前面的名詞，同時the same topics又是about的賓語。意為所談?wù)摰脑掝}。

B。當然應(yīng)是多和小孩子一起。

C。這幾個詞組放在這兒都沒有語法錯誤，父母一般說來都要和小孩相處(A)、照顧他們(B)、愛他們(D)，但作者的意思是父母要理解小孩。

D。把自己的感覺告訴給父母。

B。從常識不難推斷。意為“他們是愛你們的人”。

A。把你們的內(nèi)心所想告訴他們。say在這里有語法錯誤，ask與answer意思不對。

A。這樣你們才會更好地相互理解。這里強調(diào)“會，能”，故用can 。
