試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了一些青少年和父母之間的溝通問題。很多青少年抱怨缺少父母的理解，被限制的太多。作者以幾個年輕人為例說明了這些問題，并就此提出了具體的建議。

1.聯系上文描述，可知此處指的是直到你高中畢業，或者高中畢業之前，你的父母都會為你負責。結合語境可知填連詞until/before，直到/在……之前。

2.聯系上下文，可知考查spend用法。spend用于sb spend...on sth或者sb spend...in doing sth（in可以省略），spend的主語必須是人，可以指花費時間、也可以指花費金錢；結合語境可知本句描述的是客觀性動作，從句主語為單數第三人稱，故謂語動詞用單數，填spends，花費。

3.聯系上下文，可知此處指的是很難和他們溝通。聯系前文系動詞is可知填形容詞hard/difficult，困難的，做表語。

4.聯系上文描述，可知此處指的是 讓他遠離電腦，結合語境可知填單數名詞computer，電腦，做介詞from的賓語。

5.聯系上文，可知此處指的是他假裝認真地聽過說。結合語境可知填副詞carefully/instead，認真地/反而。

6.結合語境可知此處指的是年輕人應該學會與父母有效的溝通。結合前文情態動詞should可知填原形動詞learn，學會。

7.英語中表示在具體的某一天用介詞on，聯系下文Mother’s Day or Father’s Day ，母親節或者父親節，可知填介詞On。

8.聯系上下文，可知此處指的是讓他們知道你不會讓他們失望。結合語境可知此處人稱代詞指的是上文提到的父母，故用復數形式。做動詞賓語的人稱代詞，故賓語形式。故填them，他們.考點：短文中詞匯短語的運用能力

點評：本題難度較大，由于給出的關鍵信息較少，只能根據文章前后句子之間意思推斷出詞義，判斷出所缺單詞，然后根據該單詞在句子中的句子成分，所起作用，確定單詞詞形，進行適當詞形變化。書寫答案時，注意首字母大寫。注意此類題型由于沒有限定答案，故答案可能不唯一，注意選擇能使上下文語義通順的最佳答案。
