【解析】這篇短文介紹青少年引領時尚的趨勢每次出現(xiàn)新東西,青少年的關注堅持一段時間就會成為一種時尚。

1考查反身代詞。句意:他們想要找到一些能讓他們自我感覺良好的東西。句中feel good about ___1___(them)是賓補,因此feel的邏輯主語是句子賓語them,該空是about的賓語和邏輯主語一致,就應該用反身代詞作賓語。故填themselves.

2考查形容詞。句意如果它能在較長時間內堅持下去,它就會成為一種趨勢。該句是和前半句的for a little while進行對比,所以此處用比較級故填longer.

3考查形容詞。句意:許多時尚是無害的。此處做句子的表語,根據(jù)句意可知應該用形容詞作表語,表示“無害的”。故填harmless.

4考查動詞。句意回到我的時代,人們把袖子和領子剪下來,然后把它們穿在外面。根據(jù)時間狀語“Back in my day”可知該句應該用一般過去時該空需要句子的謂語,wear的過去式為wore。故填wore.

5考查冠詞。句意:今天,每個人都擁有一個iPad,并在手機上給朋友發(fā)短信。該句中iPad是句子賓語,是單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,此處是泛指,前面應該用不定冠詞,讀音是以元音開頭,應該用an.故填an.

6考查連詞。句意:這些潮流要么會隨著新技術的發(fā)展而消失,要么會成為一種潮流,并在一段時間內保持流行。either…or…是固定短語譯為“或者或者…”。故填or.

7考查副詞。句意雖然對青少年時尚的關注有時會讓家長們感到疲憊,尤其是對于那些剛剛起步的青少年家長來說,這是一項值得付出的努力。根據(jù)句意可知,此處用副詞especially表示“尤其”。故填especially.

8考查動詞。句意雖然對青少年時尚的關注有時會讓家長們感到疲憊,尤其是對于那些剛剛起步的青少年家長來說,這是一項值得付出的努力。get started表示狀態(tài),表示“剛剛起步的”。故填started.

9考查連詞。句意雖然你不能選擇和選擇你的青少年會選擇的流行趨勢或趨勢,但這并不意味著你不能增加你的觀點,并將時尚作為一個可教的時刻。根據(jù)句意可知,上下句之間轉折關系后半句沒有but,前半句用表示“雖然”的although/though/while.故填Although/Though/While.

10考查介詞句意雖然你不能選擇和選擇你的青少年會選擇的流行趨勢或趨勢,但這并不意味著你不能增加你的觀點,并將時尚作為一個可教的時刻。根據(jù)句意可知,此處用as表示“作為”之意,后跟名詞。故填as.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride (搭便車).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使…放心)me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the kindness I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

【題目】It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan—a character from James Matthew Barrie's 1911 book—said:“All children,except one,grow up.”1

According to the NPD Group,a US market research company,sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016,three times the pace of the children's toy market itself.These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets(樂高積木)to vehicle models and action figures.And more than half of the sales came from millennials—people born between the 1980s and 2000s.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,”commented website Koreaboo.2According to Frederique Tutt,all analyst at NPD,the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today's fast-paced world.3“It reminds me of the playful side of life,”Rob Willner,a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK,told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego,which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.

4To Frank Furendi,a professor at the University of Kent in The UK,the fact that so many adults are pursuing "the thrills of youth" is the evidence that "adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore",he told The New York Times."That's actually quite sad."

5According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane,collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality."It's just pop culture stuff.It's stuff that says,I like a little of this and I like a little of that,"he told ABC,News."It's no big deal."So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan,perhaps it's time to introduce a new "fact",as stated in the tagline of the UK fashion brand KIDULT:"Growing old is mandatory(強制性的),but growing up is optional."

A.But scientists are probably just worrying too much.

B.Why do these kidults turn to toys for pleasure and comfort?

C.This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as "kidults".

D.They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by,say, getting a promotion,which is far less easy to achieve.

E.The scientists are concerned that those kidults show roo much individuality.

F.But this "fact" doesn't seem to apply to today's world anymore.

G.Despite this,some social scientists see the trend as disturbing.
