Question

【題目】 As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like ________ to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another, it can be even ________. People who are your age, ________ your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way ________ the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got ________ excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.

Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.

It is hard to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. ________ your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends ________.” Peer pressure is a big reason ________ they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things, ________, even if other kids do.

If you continue ________ peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.

【解析】

文章介紹了隨著年齡的增長，你將會(huì)面臨一些艱難卻有著重大意義的抉擇——像逃課、抽煙等。當(dāng)你的同齡人試圖影響你做出決定時(shí)，他們給你施加的影響叫做“同輩壓力”。同輩的壓力有積極的影響，也有消極的影響。

【1】句意：你將面臨一些具有挑戰(zhàn)性的決定，比如是翹課還是抽煙。

why為什么；when何時(shí)；where哪里；whether是否；根據(jù)句意理解及后句中的or可知，這里構(gòu)成一個(gè)固定短語whether … or ...，表示“是……還是……”，故選D。

【2】句意：這就更難了。

hard難的；harder更難的；hardly幾乎不；hardest最難的；根據(jù)句意理解及句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析可知，空格前面有even修飾，英語中形容詞的比較級(jí)可以用even來修飾，所以空格處應(yīng)該填比較級(jí)，故選B。

【3】句意：和你同齡的人，像你的同學(xué)一樣，被稱為同齡人。

like像，喜歡；with有；all所有的；as作為；根據(jù)句意理解可知，句子中your classmates是用來舉例說People who are your age,的，所以這里指的是“像”，故選A。

【4】句意：也許你科學(xué)課上的另一個(gè)學(xué)生教你一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的方法來記住太陽系中的行星。

remember記住，動(dòng)詞原形；remembering記住，現(xiàn)在分詞或動(dòng)名詞形式；to remember記住，動(dòng)詞不定式；remembered記住，過去式或過去分詞；根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里空格做的是前面way的定語，英語中動(dòng)詞不定式可以做后置定語，構(gòu)成一個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)a way to do sth.，故選C。

【5】句意：也許你讓別人對(duì)你最喜歡的新書感到興奮。

others其他的，別人；other其他的，后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞；another另一個(gè)；the other兩者中的另一個(gè)；根據(jù)句意理解及后句and now everyone’s reading it.可知，這里指的是“別人”，故選A。

【6】句意：注意你自己的感覺和信仰關(guān)于……。

Pay attention to注意，動(dòng)詞原形開頭；To pay attention to注意，動(dòng)詞不定式開頭；Paying attention to注意，現(xiàn)在分詞或動(dòng)名詞開頭；Pays attention to注意，動(dòng)詞三單形式；根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里空格在句中是做主語，英語中能夠直接做主語的是動(dòng)名詞結(jié)構(gòu)，故選C。

【7】句意：明智地選擇朋友。

friendly友好的；widely廣闊地；clearly清楚地；wisely明智地；根據(jù)句意理解可知，做選擇要明智，所以這里表的是“明智地”，故選D。

【8】句意：同齡人的壓力是他們這么說的一個(gè)重要原因。

why為什么；that那個(gè)；how怎么樣；which哪一個(gè)；根據(jù)句意理解及空格前的reason可知，這里是一個(gè)定語從句，先行詞是reason，所以這里關(guān)系詞應(yīng)該用why，故選A。

【9】句意：那么你可能也不會(huì)做這些事情。

also也，用于肯定句中；either也，用于否定疑問句；too也，用于肯定句句末；as well也，用于肯定句句末；根據(jù)句意理解及句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析可知，本句是否定句，所以否定句中的“也”要用either，故選B。

【10】句意：如果你繼續(xù)面臨同齡人的壓力，……。

facing面對(duì)，現(xiàn)在分詞或動(dòng)名詞形式；face面對(duì)，動(dòng)詞原形；to face面對(duì)，動(dòng)詞不定式；faced面對(duì)，過去式或過去分詞；根據(jù)句意理解及前文It is hard to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it.可知，這里表達(dá)的是“繼續(xù)做另一件事”，英語結(jié)構(gòu)是continue to do sth.，故選C。
