2020考研英语二完形填空原文
Being a good parent is what every parent would like to be. But defining what it means to be a good parent is undoubtedly very __1__, particularly since children respond differently to the same style of parenting. A calm, rule-following child might respond better to a different sort of parenting than, __2__, a younger sibling.
__3__, there’s another sort of parent that’s a bit easier to __4__: a patient parent. Children of every age benefit from patient parenting. Still, __5__ every parent would like to be patient, this is no easy __6__. Sometimes parents get exhausted and frustrated and are unable to maintain a __7__ and composed style with their kids. I understand this. You’re only human, and sometimes your kids can __8__ you just a little too far.
And then the __9__ happens: You lose your patience and either scream at your kids or say something that was a bit too __10__ and does nobody any good. You wish that you could __11__ the clock and start over. We’ve all been there.
__12__, even though it’s common, it’s important to keep in mind that in a single moment of fatigue, you can say something to your child that you may __13__ for a long time. This may not only do damage to your relationship with your child but also __14__ your child’s self-esteem.
If you consistently lose your __15__ with your kids, then you are inadvertently modeling a lack of emotional control for your kids. We are all becoming increasingly aware of the __16__ of modeling tolerance and patience for the younger generation. This is a skill that will help them all throughout life. In fact, the ability to emotionally regulate or maintain emotional control when __17__ by stress is one of the most important of all life’s skills.
Certainly, it’s incredibly __18__ to maintain patience at all times with your children. A more practical goal is to try, to the best of your ability, to be as tolerant and composed as you can when faced with __19__ situations involving your children. I can promise you this: As a result of working toward this goal, you and your children will benefit and __20__ from stressful moments feeling better physically and emotionally.

1第 1 题
答案D
解析原文用“undoubtedly very”修饰“defining what it means to be a good parent”，并强调“children respond differently to the same style”，说明界定好父母很难、不好把握。tricky（棘手、难办）与此吻合。tedious指乏味，pleasant指愉快，instructive指有教益，均与“难界定”不符。
-
2第 2 题
答案B
解析前句说不同孩子对同一教养方式反应不同，后句用“a younger sibling”举例对照“a calm, rule-following child”。for example引出例证。in addition表递进，at once表立刻，by accident表偶然，均不能衔接举例关系。
-
3第 3 题
答案A
解析上段说好父母难定义，本段转入“another sort of parent that’s a bit easier”，语气转为相对积极。Fortunately（幸运的是）衔接转折。Occasionally表偶尔，Accordingly表因此，Eventually表最终，均与“更容易界定”的语义不符。
-
4第 4 题
答案C
解析空后是“a patient parent”，与前文“defining what it means”对照，指这类父母“更容易描述”。describe贴合“界定/说明”。amuse逗乐、assist协助、train训练，均无法与“easier to ___：a patient parent”搭配。
-
5第 5 题
答案A
解析“every parent would like to be patient”与“this is no easy ___”构成让步：虽都想耐心，却并不容易。while可表虽然。because表因果，unless表除非，once表一旦，都不能体现愿望与难度的对照。
-
6第 6 题
答案B
解析承接“想当耐心父母却不容易”，空处指这件事本身。task（任务、差事）与no easy搭配自然。answer答案、choice选择、access途径，语义过窄或搭配不当。
-
7第 7 题
答案A
解析前文反复强调patient，后文有composed style，需要与之并列的教养态度。tolerant（宽容的）与耐心、镇定一致。formal正式、rigid刻板、critical挑剔，均偏离耐心育儿。
-
8第 8 题
答案C
解析孩子把父母惹急，“just a little too far”是惯用push somebody too far（把人逼过头）。move移动、drag拖、send送，均无此固定搭配。
-
9第 9 题
答案D
解析上文说父母会疲惫、无法保持镇定，下文“lose your patience”是可预期的结果。inevitable（不可避免的）贴切。mysterious神秘、illogical不合逻辑、suspicious可疑，均不形容这种常见失控。
-
10第 10 题
答案C
解析与scream并列，且“does nobody any good”，应是过激伤人的话。harsh（刺耳、苛刻）符合。boring无聊、naive天真、vague含糊，都构不成伤害性言语。
-
11第 11 题
答案A
解析失控后希望能重来，“the clock and start over”对应turn back the clock（时光倒流）。take apart拆开、set aside搁置、cover up掩盖，均无法与clock构成此习语。
-
12第 12 题
答案C
解析上段承认“We’ve all been there”，本段强调即便常见仍须警惕一时失言的后果，语义转折。However恰当。Overall总结、Instead替代、Otherwise否则，衔接均不如转折准确。
-
13第 13 题
答案D
解析一时疲劳说出的话，后文还有伤害关系与自尊，故长期感到后悔。regret符合。like喜欢、miss想念、believe相信，与负面后果不符。
-
14第 14 题
答案B
解析not only损害亲子关系，also对自尊产生负面影响。affect（影响，常偏负面）合适。raise提高、justify证明正当、reflect反映，语义方向不对。
-
15第 15 题
答案D
解析lose one’s cool即失去冷静，与前文lose patience、emotional control一致。lose time/bond/race均不能表示发脾气、失控。
-
16第 16 题
答案C
解析后文称这是“skill that will help them all throughout life”，并强调情绪调节极重要，故空处为importance。nature本质、secret秘密、context语境，都不能概括“愈发意识到……的重要性”。
-
17第 17 题
答案D
解析“when ___ by stress”表示面对压力时仍能情绪调节。confronted by/with（面对）是固定搭配。cheated欺骗、defeated击败、confused困惑，主语与搭配均不自然。
-
18第 18 题
答案B
解析后文提出“更实际的目标”是尽力保持宽容镇定，说明始终保持耐心极其困难。hard贴切。terrible糟糕、strange奇怪、wrong错误，程度或评价不符。
-
19第 19 题
答案A
解析空处修饰与孩子有关、需要耐心的场合，trying situations即棘手、令人难受的情境。changing变化的、exciting兴奋的、surprising令人惊讶的，都不能特指育儿压力场景。
-
20第 20 题
答案B
解析努力达成目标后，“from stressful moments feeling better”表示从压力中走出来、状态更好。emerge from（从……中显现/走出）搭配正确。hide隐藏、withdraw撤退、escape逃跑，语义消极或搭配不佳。
