Question

   Teenagers today are not as healthy as they were twenty years ago. Why?

   First of all,teenagers love junk food so much,as their best friends are hamburgers,pizza or spaghetti. Teenagers don't eat what it is best for their physical development and don't want to pay attention to all it's said about food and a healthy way of eating. On the contrary,it's also the case of the girls who keep strict diets so as to lose weight. They just want to be skinny (瘦的) as the models they read about in magazines or newspapers.

   Secondly,young persons nowadays do not spend much time in the middle of nature,walking in the park or going camping. In fact,TV, computer games,DVD players or music are much more interesting. Just imagine a mother calling her son to lunch and him shouting: “No,no ,I'm watching TV I'll eat later. ” He really doesn’t care that later he’ll eat alone,that he won’t have anyone to talk to. In this way communication between the members of the family becomes less important and finally it will disappear completely.

   Thirdly,parents are always worried when their children go to a disco or to a party,as they know how easily teenagers are tempted to try something new,just for fun. Trusting them and making them feel responsible for their actions is the solution to prevent future problems from appearing.

   To sum up,teenagers ought to take more care of their health as the environment is becoming more and more dangerous each day.

Answer 1

1. C 2. B 3. D 4. D 5. C

  現(xiàn)在的青少年不如二十年前的青少年健康了，為什么 呢？作者列舉了三個(gè)原因。

1. C詞義猜測(cè)題。前面提到的漢堡包和披薩都屬于食物，故猜測(cè)spaghetti為一種食物。

2. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的最后兩句可知，女孩子堅(jiān)持節(jié)食是為了減肥，也就是她們想讓自己的體形保持苗 條，故選B項(xiàng)。

3. D推理判斷題。由第三段第一句可知，作者認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在的年輕人很少接觸大自然，而把很多時(shí)間都用在了電視、 電腦等上面。由此可推斷作者希望年輕人不要花太多 時(shí)間玩電腦游戲。

4. D推理判斷題。由第三段的“Just imagine a mother calling her son to lunch.可知，作者通過(guò)舉例子來(lái)說(shuō)明家庭 成員之間的交流不那么重要了，由此可知D項(xiàng)正確。

5. C主旨大意題。由倒數(shù)第二段“Trusting them and making them feel responsible for their actions is the solution. 可知，作者認(rèn)為家長(zhǎng)應(yīng)該教育孩子有責(zé)任感，故選C項(xiàng)。

on the contrary 相反 tempt v.吸引  responsible adj.有責(zé)任感的 to sum up總之

障礙句分析

  Secondly,young persons nowadays do not spend much time in the middle of nature,walking in the park or going camping.第二，現(xiàn)在的年輕人不會(huì)把太多的時(shí)間花費(fèi)在大自 然中，像公園散步或者野營(yíng)。

  spend time (in) doing sth.意為“花費(fèi)時(shí)間做某事”，為 常用搭配。
