解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章主旨、细节推断及逻辑关系的理解能力。文章围绕现代父母在教育孩子时面临的挑战展开，重点讨论了过度放纵导致孩子缺乏纪律的问题，并提出了正确的教育方式。
解题核心思路：
- 定位关键句：通过问题中的关键词（如“discipline”“trend”）快速定位相关段落。
- 理解隐含信息：结合上下文推断作者态度（如“bucking the trend”的含义）。
- 对比选项：注意区分“直接细节”与“推断结论”，避免断章取义。
破题关键点：
- 第64题：抓住“shared by many parents”对应文中“complaint heard among parents across the country”。
- 第65题：通过“more liberal than our parents”推断“children enjoy more freedom”。
- 第66题：明确“discipline”指“teaching proper behavior”，而非单纯惩罚。
- 第67题：理解“bucking the trend”指回归权威教育，与文中反例（Rhonda Radice）对应。
第64题
关键句：
- “At least I'm not alone；it's a complaint heard among parents across the country.”
解析：作者提到自己与孩子沟通不畅的问题并非个例，而是普遍现象。选项A“is shared by many parents”直接对应此句。
第65题
关键句：
- “our generation has gone too far” in trying to be more liberal than parents.
推断：文章对比了三代教育方式，指出当代父母过于放纵孩子，导致孩子比以前更自由。选项C“today's children enjoy more freedom”符合逻辑。
第66题
关键句：
- “Real discipline，says Moorish，is about teaching．”
解析：Moorish强调“discipline”的核心是通过纠错教孩子遵守规则，而非强制命令。选项B“teach children to understand the rules”最贴合此意。
第67题
关键句：
- “I don't negotiate with them．You can't．”（Rhonda Radice坚持权威教育）
反例分析：文章批评“bribing children”，而Rhonda的“保持权威”是反趋势行为。选项D“keep authority”与之对应。
