问题     The major task facing adolescents is to create a stable identity. There are some developmental tasks that enable them to create an identity.
    It’s important to accept one’s body shape. The beginning of adolescence and the rate of body changes for adolescent varies tremendously. How easily adolescents【C1】________those changes will partly reflect how closely their bodies match the well-defined【C2】________of the "perfect" body for young women and young men. Adolescents who do not match it may need【C3】________support from adults to improve their feelings of comfort and self-worth regarding their shapes.
    Try to achieve emotional independence from parents. Children derive strength from【C4】________their parents’ values and attitudes. Adolescents,【C5】________, must redefine their【C6】________of personal strength and move toward self-reliance. This change is【C7】________if the adolescent and parents can agree on some level of【C8】________that increases over time.【C9】________, parents and adolescents should set a time by which children must be back home. That time should be increased【C10】________the adolescent matures.
    Prepare for an economic career. In our society, an adolescent【C11】________adult status when he or she is able to【C12】________support himself or herself. This task has become more【C13】________than in the past because the job market demands increased education and skills. Today, this developmental task is generally not achieved【C14】________late adolescence or early adulthood, after the individual completes her/his education and gains some entry level work experience.
    Adolescents can think abstractly and about possible situations. With these【C15】________in thinking, the adolescent is able to develop his or her own【C16】________of values and beliefs. Thus, it is essential to take an ideology as a guide to behavior.
    The family is【C17】________children define themselves and their world. Adolescents define themselves and their world from their new social roles. Status【C18】________the community, beyond that of family is an important achievement for older adolescents and young adults.

【C13】

选项 A、possible
B、available
C、feasible
D、difficult

答案D

解析 上下文语义题。此处句首的This task指代上一句提到的“能在 上自己支持自己”,这里是讲该任务变得如何。根据其后because引导的原因状语从句“因为就业市场对知识和技能的要求越来越高”可知,现在的年轻人要获得经济上的独立越来越不容易,填入空格的词应能表示“困难”之意,故选D项difficult“困难的”。就业要求变得更高,不可能会使support himself or herself这个任务变得更加容易,排除A项possible“可能的”。B项available“可用到的”通常指某种资源可用到,C项feasible“可行的”则指计划、建议、措施或想法可行,二者均不宜用来描述task。
