问题     It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained that their parents are 【C1】_____ with modern ways.
    I think it is true that parents often 【C2】_____ their children. Young people often 【C3】_____ their parents with their choice 【C4】_____ clothes and hairstyles, entertainers and music. This is not their motive.
    They feel cut 【C5】_____ from the adult world into which they have not yet been 【C6】_____. So they create a culture and society of their own. 【C7】_____ if it turns out that their choice irritate their parents, this gives them additional 【C8】_____. They felt that they are 【C9】_____, at least in a small way, and they are 【C10】_____ in style and taste.
    Sometimes you are 【C11】_____ and proud because you do not want your parents to approve 【C12】_____ what you do. If they did 【C13】_____, it looks as if you are 【C14】_____ your own age group. 【C15】_____ in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but you can at 【C16】_____ keep your honor. This is a(n) 【C17】_____ way of looking at things after long years of childhood, when you are completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
    If you plan to control your life, 【C18】_____ can be part of that plan. You can charm others, 【C19】_____ your parents into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative 【C20】_____ that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
【C2】
选项 A、undercharge
B、underestimate
C、understate
D、underachieve
答案B
解析 考查形近动词的辨析。undercharge“少收…价款”；underestimate“低估”；understate“保守地说”和underachieve“成绩未如理想”。A与文章基调不符，可排除；而understate和underachieve通常不接人作宾语，根据此空搭配的宾语their children可排除C、D；B符合文意，表示“低估”，故选B。
