However, the 30 teenage lifestyle is already filled with so much competition that it would be wise to plan activities in which there are more winners than losers, for example, publishing newsletters with many student-written book reviews, 31 student artwork, and sponsoring book discussion clubs. A variety of small clubs can provide 32 opportunities for leadership, as well as for practice in successful group 33 .

【答案解析】空格处与前面的movement构成并列宾语,均为身体发育(Growing bodies)所需要的东西。而根据not just in ways that emphasize competition“不仅仅通过竞争的方式”可知,空格处与movement均是能通过竞争实现的,exercise符合语义,而nutrition是身体成长需要的,但并不通过竞争实现。
【答案解析】此处缺少介宾短语的中心词,通常为名词。空格前的as well as意为“不仅……而且”说明空格处与leader-ship“领导力”是一种对应关系,表明小型俱乐部提供机会培养了这些能力。group dynamics指研究群体行为的“群体动力学”,此处可译为“团队活动”。
问答题
【正确答案】N
【答案解析】根据空格后的visible in the background,此处应填入表否定含义的副词,因为in the background“在幕后”和visible“看得见”是对立的。barely“仅仅,几乎不”和rarely“很少,罕见地”都表否定,但barely表示程度,而rarely意为seldom,表频率,因此barely正确。
问答题
【正确答案】H
【答案解析】根据空格前的feeling判断此处需填入形容词或分词,构成系表结构。两个without...由and连接,两者是并列关系,故空格填入的内容与letting the other participants down一样含有消极的含义。guilty“内疚的”符合此处语义,表明参与者继续参加其他活动而不会感到内疚。
问答题
【正确答案】K
【答案解析】此处需填入名词,与a sense of一起构成acquire的宾语。a sense of commitment意为“责任感”,是常用的固定搭配。
