9.What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect
As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults,the transition(過渡) into adulthood has begun.With so many physical and emotional changes going on,certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits (特征) are not yet accepted as a way of life.(36)EBy doing the following things,you will earn more respect.
Contribute to the household
At the very least,clean up after yourself.As a teenager,you are old enough to clean up after yourself.When you make a mess,clean it up.(37)DAll chores (零星工作) that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before.Now that you're old enough and capable,why shouldn't you contribute to the household?(38)C
Be responsible
(39)AWhether they are basic things,like brushing your teeth or doing your homework,or more involved chores that contribute to the household,simply fulfill your responsibilities on time.When adults know that they can rely on you,their trust and respect for you will increase.
Solve more of your own problem without asking for help
Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help,make an effort to solve your problems on your own first.The"easy way"is only easy for you,but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help.(40)F Depending on the problem,15minutes of effort is usually a good guideline.When you become a good problem solver,you increase your value to the community.
A.Everyone has certain responsibilities.
B.It will make your life more pleasant.
C.The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.
D.This includes,but is not limited to,your dishes and your room.
E.By being aware of these manners and traits,you can manage them sooner.
F.Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems.

分析 本篇文章是關于青少年要如何贏得別人尊敬和信任的幾點建議.首先要學會在家里幫忙做家務,即使從最簡單的洗碗疊被做起.其次,要學會負責任,哪怕是自己個人衛(wèi)生也要做好.最后,要學會獨立解決問題.當把這些都做好的時候,人們對你的信任也就隨之而來了.
解答 36.E.考查上下文的推理判斷能力.前句中出現(xiàn)的manners和traits以及后句的句式和F選項的句式以及句中的these manners和traits恰好呼應,語義上也能起到承上啟下的作用,故選E.
37.D.考查上下文的推理判斷能力.前句講你應該學會自己收拾衛(wèi)生,而E選項This includes.But is not limited to,your dishes and your room."這包括在內,但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房間上"恰好能承接上文,故選D.
38.C.考查上下文的推理判斷能力.本段Now that you're old enough and capable,why shouldn't you contribute to the household內容是建議青少年要學會做家務活來幫助家人.所以所填句子應該和做家務幫忙有關,而且從段落安排上看,最后一句話應該起到總結概括作用,句意:"如果你幫忙做家務,那么平時做這種家務的人會很感激.";故選C.
39.A.考查上下文的推理判斷能力.由后句Whether they are basic things,可以推斷前句應該出現(xiàn)they所替代的名詞,而根據(jù)下文舉的例子like brushing your teeth or doing your homework 等可知C選項符合語境,能引領下文.句意:每個人都有某些責任.故選A.
40.F.考查上下文的推理判斷能力.在本段中Depending on the problem,15minutes of effort is usually a good guideline可知作者建議人們不要輕易向人求助,要在自己努力而未果的情況下去找人幫忙;故選F.
點評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀,和完形填空很類似,不同的是一個選詞,一個選句子.解題時,要注意上下文語境,充分考慮信息詞(選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞),選出最符合語境的句子.
