【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 11-13
In every school there is a“top”crowd that sets the pace．while the others follow their example．Let's say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters．Pretty soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters． [12]There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red is rather unsuitable. The unsuitable can even become dangerous，if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour．Then the people who follow the example are endangering their very fives．They are like sheep being led to the slaughter．Now．it is likely that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life．In fact．it is likely that at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong．You may have excused yourself by saying “Gee，the crowd does it．”Well，let the crowd do it，but don't do it yourself．Learn to say “No”[13] Develop your own standards and your own,judgments．If you know the crowd is planning something of which you disapprove，have the courage to bow out gracefully． [13]You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet．

[解析] 主旨大意题。全篇中说话人多次提到盲目跟风危险，要有自己的主见，故正确答案应为B。做主旨题要纵观全文得出结论。选项A、C、D都是陈述事实，不是说话人的观点。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 事实细节题。文中提到人人都跟随潮流，穿大红色衣服没什么错，除了大红色很不适合某些人。原文中的 except即题目中间到的disapprove，故正确答案应该是C，C是对原文unsuitable的同义替换。说话人已对选项A的内容表示nothing wrong。故不合题意；B和D没有提及。
