单选题 Teachers need to be aware of the emotional, intellectual, and physical changes that young adults experience. And they also need to give serious thought to how they can best     27    such changes. Growing bodies need movement and     28    , but not just in ways that emphasize competition. Because they are adjusting to their new bodies and a whole host of new intellectual and emotional challenges, teenagers are especially serf-conscious and need the confidence that comes from achieving success and knowing that their accomplishments are     29    by others. 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    . Making friends is extremely important to teenagers, and many shy students need the security of some kind of organization with a supportive adult     34    visible in the background.
    In these activities, it is important to remember that young teens have short attention spans. A variety of activities should be organized so that participants can remain active as long as they want and then go on to something else without feeling     35    and without letting the other participants down. This does not mean that adults must accept irresponsibility. On the contrary, they can help students acquire a sense of     36    by planning for roles that are within their capabilities and their attention spans and by having clearly stated rules.

问答题    
 
【正确答案】M
【答案解析】此空格需填入动词,与such changes构成动宾关系。such changes指代上一句提到的emotional,intellectual,and physical changes。从首句的“意识到变化”(be aware of...changes)可以推断,本句的逻辑语义应为“怎么样应对变化”,accommodate意为“适应”,符合语义。 [参考译文] 教师要意识到青少年在情感、智力和生理方面经历的变化。他们还要认真思考如何能最好地适应这些变化。正在发育的身体离不开运动和锻炼,但不能仅仅以侧重于竞争的方式进行。青少年要不断适应自己新的身体状况,同时迎接许多新的智力和情感的挑战,所以他们的自我意识特别强,需要获得信心。这种信心源于成功以及知道自己的成就为人所仰慕。然而,典型的青少年生活方式早已充满了如此多的竞争,因此策划一些胜多负少的活动是明智之举。例如,出版简讯刊登学生写的书评,展示学生的艺术作品,举办读书座谈俱乐部等。各种各样的小型俱乐部能够提供很多机会培养学生的领导才能,并让他们在成功的团队活动中得到锻炼。交友对青少年来说尤其重要,许多害羞的学生需要某种组织带来的安全感,这种组织有一个在幕后默默支持他们的成人。 在这些活动中,重要的是要记住青少年集中注意力的时间很短。应当组织各种各样的活动,使参与者只要愿意就能一直保持活跃的状态,然后毫不心虚地继续参加其他活动,同时也不会让其他参与者失望。这并不是说成人一定得接受青少年不负责任的行为。相反,他们可以设计一些在学生能力和注意力时限范围内的角色,并给予明确的规定,帮助学生培养责任感。

【正确答案】G
【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。
问答题    
 
【正确答案】I
【答案解析】根据空格前后的are和by可知此处填入过去分词,表被动。词库中有admired和claimed两个备选词。admired指“称赞,羡慕”,代入句中表示青少年获得成功,且成就被他人称赞,符合此处语义;claimed意为“要求;声称;索取”,较少与accomplishment搭配,语义上也不符。
问答题    
 
【正确答案】D
【答案解析】此处需要填入修饰是teenage lifestyle的词,可以是名词、形容词或分词。这里说到青少年的生活方式早已充满了非常多的竞争,这是表明的是一个常态,故typical“典型的”符合语义逻辑。
问答题    
 
【正确答案】E
【答案解析】此处与publishing newsletters...及sponsoring book discussion clubs并列,从句式结构判断,此处应填入现在分词,与student artwork构成动宾短语。displaying student artwork表示展示学生的艺术作品,且此活动能体现胜多负少的特点。
问答题    
 
【正确答案】B
【答案解析】此处填入修饰opportunities的词。解题关键在于句首的variety,“各种各样的俱乐部提供了……的机会”,故填入的词应与前面的variety形成语义复现,multiple“多种多样的”符合要求。surplus“过剩的”含贬义,与原文语义不符。
问答题    
 
【正确答案】A
【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。
