Most parents are 5 by such reactions because they don’t understand how deeply a child 6 shame."All too often we don’t see or hear what is really 7 our children," says Kaoru Yamamoto,a psychologist（心理学家）at the University of Colorado at Denver.

Triggering（触发）this fear,among other things,is the experience of being lost in a 14 place,of seeing their parents fight,15 when there is violence.Between two thirds and three quarters of the children surveyed have experienced the 16 of parental fighting,and it 17 them afraid that their mother and father are going to get divorced just the noise of the quarrel can be frightening.

Answer 1

1. A由语境得知,孩子天真地以为车子上的条纹是用木头做的,故劝父亲不要"买"这辆车.
2. C此处指孩子的父亲把孩子的笑话讲给卖汽车的人听,选share符合题意.
3. D听到大人嘲笑自己,孩子当然感到"羞愧".
4. D孩子已经当了父亲,但经常想起当年大人嘲笑自己的"事件".occasion当"场合"讲；fun的意思是"乐事",都不合题意.
5. B后文说明对什么真正会使孩子感到难堪父母往往不了解,因此感到"困惑".
6. C父母不了解孩子是多么"害怕"丢脸,fear当"害怕"、"担心"讲,符合题意.
7. D心理学家认为大人不了解什么事情会真正使孩子烦恼,故选troubling,后文有提示.
8. A调查"显示"什么情况,符合题意跟搭配.
9. C lose face为固定短语,意为"丢脸",与前面孩子感到"羞愧"逻辑一致.
10. B由前面unattractive, stupid or...的逻辑关系判定,此处大人认为孩子"不诚实"也会使孩子感到丢脸.
11. A repeat a grade此处当"留级"讲,选repeat"重复",符合题意.
12. C这儿指父母通常不了解什么真正使孩子感到烦恼.即父母通常"预计"什么情况.
13. C此处题意为：对孩子自尊和价值观的打击,往往使孩子很难忍受,terrible"糟糕的"符合题意.
14. A由常识可知,迷路往往是在陌生的地方,其他选项意义都太片面.
15. D后面发生暴力是进一步说明父母打架的严重性,故用especially突出后面的程度,符合逻辑.
16. B父母打架会给孩子带来"痛苦",其他选项不合逻辑.
17. A leave sb. + adj. 当"造成某人……"讲,keep sb. +adj.当"使某人一直处于……状态"讲,此处指父母打架对孩子造成的后果和影响,因此A为最佳答案.
18. C理解此处的题意是关键,在听孩子讲述时,你不被他们脆弱的神经所打动是很困难的.
19. B leave sb. alone意为"把某人单独留下（没人照料）",符合题意.
20. D由常识推断,在处于不安或不可预测的境地时,孩子往往依靠成年人来保护和指导,其他选项都太片面.
