1.前句讲到：夏其航在回家路上摔倒了，裤子都摔破了。后句讲：当他到家时，他的父母只是埋怨他不小心。前后表示转折，本空后有逗号，填副词：然后，但是：however。故填：However

2.翻译题。deal with处理，解决；in …way：以……方式；instead of而不；ask for help请求帮助。故译成：男孩们喜欢用他们自己的方式解决问题而不是向父母求助。

3.句型转换题。原句句意：好像在父母与男孩之间还有代沟。It seems that+从句相当于“从句的主语”seems to do（从句的谓语）。故填：there still seems to be

4.推理判断题。句意：当他们彼此交流时。由上文可知，他们指的是父母和男孩。故填：parents and boys

5.翻译题。get alone well with sb和某人相处融洽。故译成：他们和父母相处融洽。
