Question

I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling（叛逆）．I wish it were so．At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents．You should be learning to stand on your own feet．But take a good look at the present rebellion．It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents．Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(緊握）at one another's hands for reassurance．

They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it．They have come out of their cocoon（繭） into a larger cocoon．

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way．Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market．These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be． 

And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier(障礙） for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．

But the barrier is worth climbing over．The path is worth following, You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party．You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records．You may have some thoughts 'that you don't care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it．Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．

【解析】

試題分析：文章講了青少年一方面叛逆，另一方面又跟隨潮流，沒有個性。作者認為青少年要發(fā)現(xiàn)自我，學會獨立，這樣才真正受人歡迎與尊重。

1.A主旨題。通讀全文發(fā)現(xiàn)teenager一詞頻繁出現(xiàn)，可見本文作者想告訴我們的與“青少年”有關，進一步分析首段，其中句子“You should be learning to stand on your own feet”給出了作者的觀點“青少年應該學會獨立”，A項說法正符合此意，故為答案。

2.C細節(jié)題。由題干中的“brave”可定位答案于第一段的句子“Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(緊握）at one another's hands for reassurance”，C項“不敢獨自處理問題”是此句的同義轉述，故為正確答案。

3.D細節(jié)題。把選項與原文一一對照，A項與最后一段最后的句子“That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．”相矛盾，故不正確；B項與第四段“And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier(障礙） for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．”不符合，故不正確；C項與文章最后一段句子“You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it．Find yourself”不符合，故不正確；D項與第二段句子“They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．”描述相符，故為正確答案。

4.B推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段句子“These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be．”可推斷出作者認為青少年受廣告的影響很大，故B項正確。

5.C細節(jié)題。從文章最后一段句子“Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．”，C項“找到一個真正的自我”是此句的同義轉述，故為正確答案。
