2．There is a problem discussed by people about whether parents should hit their children？Or should they ever beat them？
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no"，and public support for spanking （打屁股） has been falling over the years．But surveys also show that 75percent to nearly 90percent of parents admit spanking their child at least once．
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect，and my parents often turned to physical punishment．And，no，I don't feel I was damaged by it．
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children．
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer．
Two years ago，Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive．
Murray Straus，professor at the University of New Hampshire in America，has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades．He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers．It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked，but the punishment may have been counterproductive （反作用的） to their mental development，as well．
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks （用巴掌打） on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit．
Last year，Marjorie Gunnoe，a psychologist at Calvin College，studied teens who have never been spanked．There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished．Gunnoe's research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked．
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers．But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline （紀律） without ever turning to physical punishment．

22．According to Murray Straus，children who are physically punishedC．
A．benefit from occasional spanking
B．have slower physical development
C．may develop lower IQs than their peers
D．a(chǎn)re less aggressive towards others when they get older

分析 這是一篇議論文．文中主要談到了父母對孩子的體罰問題，文中重點講述了體罰對于孩子成長的一些負面影響．作者認為好的父母應該用一種公平理性的方式來約束他們的孩子．
解答 21．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段"I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect，and my parents often turned to physical punishment．And，no，I don't feel I was damaged by it．"我是在一個對無禮零容忍的家庭中被養(yǎng)育長大的，并且我的父母經(jīng)常借助于體罰．然而，我沒有感到我被這種行為毀掉．由此可知，作者小時候可能因為無禮，被父母打過．故選B．
22．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中的句子"Murray Straus，professor at the University of New Hampshire in America，has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades．He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers．"可知Murray Straus認為經(jīng)常被打屁股的孩子的智商比同齡人較低．故選C．
23．B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)短文最后一段中的句子"But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline（紀律，約束） without ever turning to physical punishment．"可知作者認為好的父母應該用一種公平理性的方式來約束他們的孩子．故選B．
點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
