11、types are good for different things—and sometimes the things you did well as a kid can change during puberty (青春期)．What does your body do well？Maybe your speed，flexibility，strength，or coordination leads you to excel at a certain sport.Or perhaps you have some non-sports skills.Just exploring talents

12、 that you feel good about can help your self-respect and how you think of yourself.

14、 but didn't make a particular team，use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at，not to regret what you aren't best at. Look into starting a strength training program.Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself.Good builds don't just happen—they take hard work，regular

So let's give kids an early start.Let's help them learn the craft of writing in a way that's natu

52、A項(xiàng)與文中的“...go on an oar raft or motorized trip...”一致，B項(xiàng)與文中的“Requiring a hike in or out ...”一致，C項(xiàng)與文中的“...the horse ride up or down is also an option.”吻合，只有D項(xiàng)swimming entertainment文中沒有提到。 3．B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Most trips occur between April and October.”可知，B項(xiàng)February是旅游淡季。 4．A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章后半部分可知，只有A項(xiàng)callin

53、g at it in person文中沒有提及。 B 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 Body Image是個(gè)體對(duì)自己整個(gè)身體的看法和態(tài)度，是一種“個(gè)體對(duì)自己身體的獨(dú)特感知”。 5．D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段尤其是最后一句“So how a guy feels about his body can affect how he feels about himself.”可推出D項(xiàng)正確。 6．D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Just exploring talents that you feel good about can help your self-respect and how you thin

54、k of yourself.”可知，D項(xiàng)正確。 7．B　推理判斷題。倒數(shù)第二段主要說(shuō)明好的生活習(xí)慣有助于形成良好的body image，由此可以推斷B項(xiàng)正確。 8．C　主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章后面列舉的幾點(diǎn)可以看出，全文圍繞怎樣改善自己的body image來(lái)分析說(shuō)明，所以C項(xiàng)為本文的主旨大意。 C 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要從不同層面敘述了網(wǎng)絡(luò)對(duì)人們生活造成的不良影響，尤其是對(duì)青少年生活的影響。 9．B　推理判斷題。文章從不同角度陳述了網(wǎng)絡(luò)給人們生活所帶來(lái)的不利方面，由此可知作者對(duì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)綜合癥持反對(duì)態(tài)度。故B項(xiàng)正確。 10．A　主旨大意題。文章重點(diǎn)介紹了網(wǎng)絡(luò)綜合癥的負(fù)面影響。

55、故A項(xiàng)正確。 11．C　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，那些無(wú)法擺脫的行為已經(jīng)影響了青少年和大學(xué)生。他們總是花大量的時(shí)間上網(wǎng)，瀏覽不同的網(wǎng)站。由此知obsessional behavior指已經(jīng)成癮的行為。故C項(xiàng)正確。 12．B　推理判斷題。A項(xiàng)和C項(xiàng)是文章直接陳述的，故排除；根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句“It is a problem for the future.”可排除D項(xiàng)；根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知學(xué)生們無(wú)法平衡現(xiàn)實(shí)生活和網(wǎng)絡(luò)虛擬生活。故B項(xiàng)正確。 D 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 本文是一篇記敘文。簡(jiǎn)單地介紹了喬布斯的生平以及他去世之后人們對(duì)他的評(píng)價(jià)。 13．D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一句“Steve Jo

56、bs made technology fun.”以及第七段中美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬和其他人的評(píng)價(jià)“...he made the information revolution not only accessible，but intuitive and fun.”可知，喬布斯使信息技術(shù)發(fā)生了改革并使其變得有趣。故D項(xiàng)正確。 14．B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today.”和

57、第八段“Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology，he also revolutionized American business.”以及第九段戴維·卡羅爾的評(píng)價(jià)可知B項(xiàng)正確。 15．A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)上下文可知此處指喬布斯是美國(guó)創(chuàng)造精神的楷模。故A項(xiàng)正確。 16．C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。喬布斯的養(yǎng)父母(機(jī)械師夫婦)都是支持他的，而文章中沒有提到他的親生父母，故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)；他中途從蘋果公司退出，因此沒有連續(xù)干24年，故B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)；NeXT被蘋果公司收購(gòu)，故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)；根據(jù)第七段奧巴馬的話“By building one of the planet's mos

58、t successful companies from his garage...”可知C項(xiàng)正確。 E 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 這是一篇議論文。一款電腦軟件會(huì)給人寫出故事，但是程序化的故事缺少變化，過于機(jī)械，我們還是應(yīng)該從小教孩子們寫出更自然、更人性、更好的故事來(lái)。 17．A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段可知，文中的“五段文章”應(yīng)該指電腦軟件寫的東西，“...it is an unnatural invention...”，所以它也是不自然的寫作。 18．D　推理判斷題。從第三段可知，老師教授學(xué)生寫作時(shí)，禁止重復(fù)使用同一個(gè)詞，這樣會(huì)使寫作變得不可理喻(荒唐)。 19．B　詞義猜測(cè)題。本文的主要目的是教授學(xué)生們寫出自然的故事。 20．B　推理判斷題。全文最后一段呼吁人們讓孩子自己寫故事，同時(shí)說(shuō)明寫故事也是一種鍛煉寫作的方式。
