英语中有许多单词可带否定前缀或否定后缀，将该词变成一个与原来单词意义完全相反的词。在做语法填空时，要仔细领会短文的意思，理清文章脉络，注意行文逻辑，特别注意上下文之间有无转折、对比、相反关系，如果有此种关系，文中又没有相应过渡词语，就要考虑利用构词法知识，即利用单词的否定前缀或否定后缀来解题。

1.He is a serious person who always does everything conscientiously.

2.If you don t stop doing like this,you ll impair your health.

3.He strayed because of the darkness,and didn，t know where he was.

4.In the ancient city of Rome,we visited every mansion,battle site,theatre and other public halls.

（二）阅读下列短文，按要求完成读写任务。

(2008年广东卷)Parents and kids today dress alike,listen to the same music,and are friends.Is this a good thing？Sometimes,when Mr.Ballmer and his 16 year old daughter,Elizabeth,listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy,such as pop culture,he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.

“I would never have said to my mom,…Hey,the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it??” says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”

Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations,earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.

Today,the generation gap has not disappeared,but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent-child activities,from shopping to sports,involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.

No wonder greeting cards today carry the message,“To my mother,my best friend.” But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.

“There，s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there,but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie,a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change,there is a lot of confusion among parents.”

Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.

“My parents were on the …before? side of that change,but today s parents,the 40 year olds,were on the …after? side,” explains Mr.Ballmer.“It s not something easily accomplished by parents these days,because life is more difficult to understand or deal with,but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”
