考查推理判断。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍青少年时的友谊对青少年成年后健康的影响。据此可知，本文属于健康知识类文章，故可判断，本文可能选自“健康专栏”，故B项正确。2．D 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Whetherteensheldback...sickasadults”可知，青少年是否向他们的好朋友表达情感也会影响到其成年后的健康，那些压抑情感的青少年成年后很可能不健康。故D项正确。3．B 考查细节理解。根据最后一段内容可知，与朋友相处使得青少年在成年后更加健康的同时也会带来不利影响，即周围同龄人带来的压力，这些压力会导致许多问题。分析Allen的话“Findingtherightbalanceisthekey.Teensshouldn'tloseheartfornotfindingthiseasy”可以判断，青少年要应对这些压力，找到正确的平衡点是关键，不能因为很难找到平衡点就灰心丧气。故选B。4．C 考查推理判断。根据文章第一段第二句“Butnewresearchsuggeststhatteenswhogetalongwiththeirfriendsmayenduphealthierasadults”可知，与朋友相处的青少年在成年后会更加健康。C项意为“青少年时期的友谊会帮助青少年成为更加健康的成年人”，符合文章意思，故C项正确。根据最后一段第一句“Gettingalongwiththecrowdmayhavebenefits，saysAllen，buttherearealsodrawbacks”可知，与朋友相处有好处，但是也有一定的缺点，故A项与文意不符；B项错在“themost”，D项错在“only”，都太过于绝对。7\n二、单句语法填空1．Nowtheirpeacetalkshavereachedakeystage________onesidemustgiveintotheother.答案：where 当先行词是case,position,stage等抽象名词，且在从句中作状语，表示地点时，定语从句使用关系副词where来引导。2．Frommyfirstjobattherestaurant,Ilearnedteamworkand________(devote)．答案：devotion 由teamworkand可知，此处填名词devotion“奉献；忠诚”，作宾语。3．Whenananimalis________attackitcanrunawayorfightback.答案：under underattack“受到攻击”。4．Shestartedsingingtothebabyand________(reward)withasmile.答案：wasrewarded rewardsb.withasmile“对某人报以微笑”，根据句意可知，此处应为被动语态。5．Althoughhemadeaseriousmistakeinhiswork,hewasluckytoescape________(fire)byhisboss.答案：beingfired escapebeingfired“免于被解雇”。6．Ihavesometrouble________(read)theletter,becausehishandwritingisverybad.答案：(in)reading havetrouble(in)doingsth.“做某事有困难”。7．Insomeplacestherearemanylawsagainst________(cruel)toanimalsbutfewtoprotectchildren.答案：cruelty 空前against是介词，因此本空填名词cruelty“残忍；残酷”。8．Yourteachercangiveyou________(guide)onchoosingacareerandwritingajobapplication.答案：guidance givesb.guidanceon...“给某人关于……的指导或建议”，故此处填名词guidance“指导”。9．________(educate)usuallyreferstoteachingpeoplevarioussubjects,usuallyataschoolorcollege.答案：Education 此处应用名词education“教育”作主语。10．Theyoungmanwassentencedto________(die)forkillingamiddleschoolstudent.答案：death besentencedtodeath“被判死刑”。7\n三、完形填空。Ipromiseyou,therewillneverbeaperfecttimetodoanythinginyourlife. 1 willeverfeel100%certainormakeperfectsensetoyouandeveryoneelse.Therewill 2
