It has never been easy to be a teenager, and it is particularly difficult today. The world expects us to be grown up but rarely treats us like adults; we are part of a society in which drugs are readily available but extremely dangerous; our education consists of examinations and more examinations...Is it any wonder we struggle at times?
One of the biggest problems is that parents demand mature and intelligent behavior from us, yet usually think of us as still being children. We help do a range of housework and care for sickly grandparents, but cannot watch adult movies on television. We are expected to show an interest in current affairs and get a part-time job to begin to support ourselves, but are not even allowed a say in where we go for the family holiday—never mind being allowed to holiday with our friends!
Outside the home, we have to make sure our dissatisfaction does not lead us to rebellion and to the dealers who are just waiting to sell us various drugs. Older generations had to come to terms with alcohol and cigarettes; that was easy, by comparison. We go to a club, to dance, then are faced with temptations(诱惑), peer pressures and our own desire to fit in with the crowd. There is always someone there with a designer drink, a designer smile and the latest designer drug to tempt us.
Being a teenager has never been harder
.
Of course, it has never been so hard in school either. We have so many examinations that it is difficult to keep track: SATs, GCSEs...and the practice tests that accompany them. Homework is never ending. No teacher seems aware of how much work the others are setting, and, anyway, they would not care, because they are all under orders to improve results or their own careers will suffer.
What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
选项
A、The tempting drugs that can be easily bought.
B、The changing world that teenagers have to adapt to.
C、School education that focuses merely on examinations.
D、Various problems that teenagers have to deal with.
答案
D
解析
此题是一道段落大意题,考查考生根据文章中的某个段落中的上下文进行理解和归纳的能力。文章第一段开门见山地指出,做青少年不易,在现代社会做青少年更不易。接着从三个方面概括介绍青少年从社会、学校教育和世人对待青少年的态度来引出主题:青少年的挣扎太司空见惯了。由此我们可以概括出第一段的段落大意是关于十几岁的青少年必须面对的各种问题的。因此,本题的正确答案应该是D。选项A:很容易买到的诱人的毒品:B:青少年不得不适应的变化中的世界:C:只关注考试的学校教育;这三个选项的内容都是具体细节或者青少年要处理的某一个具体问题,不能用来概括第一段的段落大意,均为干扰项。
