7. According to the author, many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them ____.
    A) have much difficulty understanding each other
    B) lack confidence
    C) dare not cope with problems single-handed
    D) are very much afraid of getting lost
    注:brave定位第一段boldly
    I hear many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling, I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize)one another's hands for reassurance.
    8. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A) There is no popularity that really counts.
    B) What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.
    C) It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.
    D) Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same.
    注:1.與文章最后一句話相反
    2.no + n. 中no 相當(dāng)于not any 表示沒有任何的,為絕對化語氣
    no + adj. 中no 表示否定
    But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.
    9. The author thinks of advertisements as ____.
    A) convincing B) influential C) instructive D) authoritative
    注:態(tài)度題,找作者直接評價語句,倒數(shù)第二段,應(yīng)該是負(fù)評價。
    convincing 有說服力的 authoritative 權(quán)威的
    instructive 有啟發(fā)性的,有教育意義的
    influential 有影響的
    A、C、D都屬于正面評價,只有B為中性評價
    It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry firmly carved out a teen-age market. These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path.
    10. During the teen-age years, one should learn to ____.
    A) differ from others in as many ways as possible
    B) get into the right season and become popular
    C) find one's real self
    D) rebel against parents and the popularity waves
    注:考最后一段,作者提出的建議
    But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.
