Tantrums may happen when kids are tied, hungry, or unfortable; or because they cant get something (for example, an object or a parent) to do what they want. _2_.Tantrums are mon during the second year of life, a time when language skills are starting to develop. Because young children at this age cant yet say what they want, feel, or need, a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum. _3_. _4_ more than they may be able to handle. This can lead to power struggles as a child thinks “I can do it myself” or “I want it, give it to me”. When kids discover that they cant do it and cant have everything they want, they may have a tantrum.So try to prevent tantrums from happening in the first place, whenever possible. Give plenty of positive attention. Get in the habit of catching your child being good. Reward your little one with praise and attention for positive behaviors. Most importantly, keep your cool when responding to a tantrum. Dont plicate the problem with your own frustration or anger. _5_. So you need to be calm, too.ASome kids may smile all the dayBSome kids may have tantrums oftenCYou may wonder how long a tantrum will lastDAs language skills improve, tantrums tend to decreaseEKids want independence and control over their environmentFLearning to deal with frustration is a skill that children gain over timeGRemind yourself that your job is helping your child learn to calm down【文章大意】本文是一篇科普类说明文。文章介绍了1岁到3岁的孩子容易发怒的原因及这种情绪得到缓解的原因，告诫家长应当遇事冷静，并帮助孩子们养成冷静的习惯。1答案与解析：B根据上文“Theyre equally mon in boys and girls and mostly happen between the ages of one to three.”可知，1岁到3岁的孩子发怒很正常；结合该句中的“and others have them rarely”可知，一些孩子可能会经常发怒，但是另一些孩子很少发怒。故B项正确。2答案与解析：F空格处在该段结尾，其作用是总结该段内容并引起下段内容；通读该段内容可知，该段主要陈述孩子发怒是表现他们不开心或沮丧的方式，下段内容是说随年龄增长，孩子们的语言技能得到提升，他们也就不那么容易发怒了。F项“久而久之，孩子们就拥有处理这种沮丧的技能了。”承上启下。故F项正确。3答案与解析：D根据空格上一句“Because young children at this age cant yet say what they want, feel, or need, a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum.”可知，处在这个年龄阶段的孩子由于无法用言语表达他们的需要，所以会发怒。D项“随着语言技能的提高，发怒的行为将会减少。”承接上文，符合语境。故D项正确。4答案与解析：E根据该段第二句“This can lead to power struggles as a child thinks I can do it myself or I want it, give it to me”可知，孩子们总是在想“我能自己完成”“我想要，给我吧”；据此可以判断，E项“孩子们总是想要独立，控制他们的环境。”与该段内容相符。故E项正确。5答案与解析：G根据空格后一句“So you need to be calm, too.”可知，该处建议遇到问题首先自己要冷静。G项“你要想着你的工作就是帮你的孩子学会冷静。”与此构成因果关系，衔接紧密。故G项正确。四、书面表达微博(micro blog) 已成为时下学生常用的交流方式。人们对此褒贬不一。请根据以下要点提示，用英语写一篇短文，描述人们对学生使用微博的看法。学生记录生活，表达情绪，交流思想，促进沟通家长了解孩子想法，增进亲子关系；过渡关注博客，影响学习教育人士开阔视野，但需要适当引导注意：词数120以上。 参考词汇：开阔视野 broaden ones horizon 引导 guidance_【参考范文】书面表达（25分）：One Possible Version:On the other hand, parents opinions are divided on this. Some parents think that they can be kept informed of what their children have been thinking through micro blogs, thus improving the relationship between them and children. However, some others are afraid that focusing on blogs too much will affect childrens studies.Educators hold the belief that the micro blog broadens students horizons, but meanwhile appropriate guidance is necessary.
