Dear Mom and Dad,
I will go to Alice’s home with her after school, and I will have supper and sleep there. Don’t 1 about me. You know that Alice is one of my best friends. If you want to talk with me, you can call 68610598 after 6:00 pm.
Please forgive me for not telling you first. I don’t think you will 2 me to do so if I tell you first. 3 I think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends’ houses sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I’m not a little kid any more. I hope I can make decisions for 4 .
At home, there are too many 5 for me to obey(遵守): Don’t stay out so late; don’t have meals before 6 hands; don’t watch TV without finishing homework, etc. Parents should be 7 teenagers, but we need freedom, too.
I don’t like doing my homework 8 at home. I’d love to study with Alice. We can learn a lot from each other. 9 please allow me to stay at Alice’s house once a week. If you 10 , Alice can stay at our house with me, too.
Yours,Lillian

这是Lillian写给爸爸妈妈的留言条。告诉爸爸妈妈她将住在好朋友Alice家，让他们不要担心她。
1.考查固定短语。care about“关心”；hear about“听说”；talk about“谈论”；worry about“担心”。根据句意可知，此处是“担心”的意思。故选D。
2.考查动词用法辨析。Let sb. do sth.；take sb. to sp.；allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”；teach sb. to do sth.“教某人做某事”。根据句意可知，Lillian怕爸妈不答应。故选C。
3.考查连词的用法。until“直到”；or“或者，否则”；but“但是”；even though“即使”。根据句意“但是，我认为有的时候，青少年应该被允许待在朋友家里。”表示转折。故选C。
4.考查反身代词。himself“他自己”；herself“她自己”；yourself“你自己”；myself“我自己”。句意“我16岁了，不再是小孩了，我希望能自己做决定。”for oneself“单独，独自”。故选D。
5.根据obey“遵守”可知，这里填“规则”。故选D。
6.“饭前要洗手”，“洗手”用wash hands，before既可做连词，后跟句子；也可做介词，后跟doing。故选B。
7.句意“父母应该严格要求孩子，但我们也需要自由。”be strict with sb.“严格要求某人”。故选C。
8.句意“我不想独自一人在家做作业。”alone“单独，独自”；lonely“孤独的”，指内心孤独。故选B。
9.Lillian前面说的都是对规则的不满，也是“离家出走”的原因。故这里用so“所以”表因果。故选C。
10.句意“如果你们答应，Alice也能和我们住在一起。”agree“答应”。故选C。
