B.Lack of changes. C.Social anxiety. D.Social equality.‎ ‎35.What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A.Why not Watch Reality TV Shows? B.Why is the Ways We Dress Changing?‎ C.Do You Love Reality TV Shows? D.Are Reality TV Shows Realities?‎ 第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分) ‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Getting along with Parents Parents are the most important people in your life, and they’re likely to influence you more than anyone else in your lifetime.It’s a parent’s job to love and guide kids, and most parents will do this as long as they live. 36 Here are four ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship.‎ Spend time together.It might be easy to be physically in the same place with your parents. 37 Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV by yourself, maybe you should ask your mom and dad to play with you.You can go outside together, try a board game, or read a book together.‎ ‎ 38 Many kids say they would like their parents to help them when they’re upset.But your parents might not know that you’re having a problem.Tell your parents if you’re sad or struggling ‎ with something.If you don’t usually do this, give it a try and you will be glad.‎ Be kind.Little things might mean a lot to your parents. 39 It’s also lovely when a kid offers to help fold the laundry or cleans up his or her room without being asked.And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents might be so excited!‎ Show your care.Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you”. 40 In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents can show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.‎ A.Share your feelings and ask for help.‎ B.It’s important to show that you care for each other.‎ C.Talk on the phone and email each other to stay in touch.‎ D.But parents do a lot more than just pass down their hobbies.‎ E.You can brighten your parents’ day with a hug, a card or a joke.‎ F.That means you have many years ahead to share with your parents.‎ G.But how much time do you spend just enjoying staying with each other?‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) ‎ Have you ever experienced a moment when everything seems in a mess?
