本文论述了解决青少年想要独立而经常和父母发生矛盾这一问题的四个方法。1.E 解析：根据该空位置可知，该空承上启下，既总结第一段大意，又引出下文；而第一段主要陈述“青少年想要独立，但经常和父母发生矛盾，解决这一问题的关键是取得父母的信任”，再结合下文的整体内容可知，E项符合文意。2.G 解析：根据空处后一句“Ifyoucan’tgethomeby9：30，they’llneverletyououtafter10：00.”可知，如果你无法在9：30之前回家，他们将不会让你在10：00之后外出；据此可知，空处陈述“和父母商定一个你到家的时间，一直保证按时到家”，故G项正确。3.F 解析：根据空处前一句中的“Agreewiththemsome‘friendstime’”可知，9\n空处讲述在享受和朋友在一起的美好时光之前，你可以向父母介绍朋友以免父母担心，故F项正确。4.D 解析：根据空处所在位置可知，空处是该段的主题句；通读该段内容可知，该段主要说要告知你的父母你的情况，据此可知，D项符合文意。5.B 解析：根据空处后一句“Iftheyfindout，allthattrustwillbedestroyedandthenyou’llnevergettheextraindependenceyoueverwanted.”可知，一旦被父母发现，你们之间的信任会遭到破坏，你便无法获得想要的独立；据此可以判断，空处表示“不要在自己的行踪方面向父母撒谎”，故B项正确。9
