Young people believe adulthood __5__ freedom from parents and schoolwork.When they get older,they feel that __6__ is freedom from work pressure and family responsibilities.To __7__ this feeling,people say,“The grass is always __8__ on the other side.”
As __9__,we like to be adults,but as young adults,we __10__ to be young again.We think about staying out late,__11__ our own money to spend.Suddenly,they see that love can result in __12__ hearts;staying out late makes it hard to get ready for __13__ the next morning.They find out that adult life is not as __14__ as they thought it would be and suddenly,__15__ becomes very scary.
Life is __16__.It gives us time to __17__ but also requires us to work.The time will come when we must grow up and we will always look back wishing we __18__ being young a bit longer.That time will not come back.It is normal to want what we cannot have but the __19__ is that to be happy is to appreciate what we have.That is the first step to growing up.__20__ life becomes more complex we will not regret the time we wasted wishing we were adults.
1.A.comfortableB.dependent
C.independent
D.polite
解析:选C。根据句意可知,年轻的时候,我们往往想摆脱父母的束缚,争得独立,所以选C。comfortable舒适的;dependent依赖的;依靠的;polite有礼貌的,均不符合句意。
2.A.older
B.weaker
C.married
D.confident
解析:选A。和“we want to go back to being young...”相对应的应该是older。however也是提示。
3.A.like
B.forget
C.regret
D.miss
解析:选D。长大以后,就会“怀念”年轻时候的岁月,故选D。
4.A.study
B.job
C.age
D.health
解析:选B。成年人的主要压力应该来自工作,所以选B。
5.A.creates
B.shows
C.means
D.limits
解析:选C。此处应该是对adulthood这一概念的解释。在年轻人的眼中,成年世界是自由的,没有父母和功课的压力。
6.A.childhood
B.adulthood
C.parenthood
D.manhood
解析:选A。和adulthood相对的是childhood。上下两句是两个年龄阶段的对比。
7.A.reduce
B.describe
C.experience
D.understand
解析:选B。由下文“people say...”可知此处为describe。reduce减少,experience经历,understand理解,领会,均不符合语境。
8.A.greener
B.thinner
C.yellow
D.colorful
解析:选A。根据前文内容可知,没有的东西往往觉得是最好的。草总是那边的绿。
9.A.researchers
B.teenagers
C.adults
D.elders
解析:选B。由we like to be adults可得出答案。
10.A.wish
B.decide
C.return
D.stop
解析:选A。和上句“like to be adults”相对的含义是“wish to be young again”。从上下文的信息可知,to be young只能是“希望,想”,而不可能真正实现。
11.A.making
B.having
C.borrowing
D.begging
解析:选B。钱的问题应该是成年人的事情,从常识判断,青少年阶段是靠父母养活的,没有自己的钱。
12.A.healthy
B.hard
C.broken
D.cold
解析:选C。由下文可知,此空应填消极意义的词。经受挫折后才发现,生活并不像想象的那样美好,爱换来的是破碎的心。
13.A.breakfast
B.school
C.exercise
D.work
解析:选D。由下文“They find out ...”可知,此句描述的是长大后的感觉,所以work应为最佳答案。
14.A.rich
B.busy
C.free
D.easy
解析:选D。easy容易的,概括性强,A、B、C均不符合文意。亲身体验爱的痛苦,工作的压力,使年轻人真正体会了生活的不容易。
15.A.life
B.love
C.career
D.future
解析:选A。和上句放在一起理解,这是我们对人生的两大感悟。由上下文的逻辑关系判断,此句是上句的对比句。
16.A.long
B.short
C.fair
D.beautiful
解析:选C。由下句“It gives us time to __17__ but also requires us to work...”可推出此句为“Life is fair.”。此句为本段的主题句,结合下文才能得出答案。
17.A.study
B.think
C.play
D.live
解析:选C。与“give”相对应的是“require”,与“work”相对应的应该是“play”,上下文形成对比。
18.A.stopped
B.enjoyed
C.imagined
D.tried
解析:选B。身为成年人的我们希望自己能享有更长的青春时光。
19.A.reason
B.result
C.dream
D.truth
解析:选D。想要拥有我们所没有的东西是正常的,但事实上,要想快乐,就要对我们所拥有的心存感激。所以选D。此句是文章的主题句,阐明了文章的主旨。
20.A.If
B.When
C.Unless
D.Before
解析:选B。考查连词。根据前后句的逻辑关系,此句应该强调时间,用when。
