22、解读】 这是一篇说明文。介绍了应对同伴压力应采取的措施。面对各种同伴压力，作者建议与那些没有坏习惯的同学交朋友，摆脱同伴压力的消极影响对你的发展是有好处的。11D 空格前一句提出了随着年龄的增长，我们会面临抉择。 D 项“Making decisions on your own is hard enough”与做抉择有联系，又与后句的“but.it can be even harder”相呼应；且 hard 与 harder 相对应。所以选 D 项。12G 本段首句“Peers can have a positive influence on each other.”为段落主题句，之后的句子阐
23、述了同伴的积极影响。B 选项是混淆 项，是总结句表结果，但 B 选项讲的是同伴之间的相互影响，而第三段也是阐述同伴的影响，所以 B 项 不正确。 G 项是对同伴积极影响的事例的总结，故选 G。13F 通过 后面的例子 学校里的几个孩子可能试图让你跟他们一起逃课；跟你一起踢足球的伙伴可能试图说服你对另外一位队员刻薄，不再传球给他，可知都是同伴带来的消极影响，而且对应上一段的主旨句，所以 F 项正确。14A 空格前面是一个逗号，根据语法可知 A 项正确；且空格后说了“关注你自己的感受和是非信念有益于你知道去做正确的事” 。所以 A 项正确。15E 空格前一句指出有家长或老师建议我们明智地选择朋友，
24、E 项的“why they say this”与此句语法上以及意思上呼应。所以 E 项正确。 D 【导学号：38144037】“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are overprotective and do too much.It describes parents who watch over their kids at home and on the playground like a helicopter.Today，modern technology allows t

31、 Lythcott 写了一本名叫挣脱溺爱陷阱和为你的孩子的成功做准备的书。在书中，Julie 让读者更深入地了解这种直升机式的教育模式。B 项“她也解 释了为什么父母要停止这种溺爱”承接上文，符合题意。故选 B 项。 18F 根据上文可知 ， 当 Julie 作为一年级学生的教务长时，她亲身体会到了“直升机养育法”带来的影响。下文又说到但是很多人却无法照顾自己。F项“这些新生非常聪明而且能按时完成作业”能够联系上下文，并与下文形成合理的转折关系，符合语境。故选 F 项。19A 根据下文可知，作者提出了四种解决“直升机养育法”问题的方法。A 项“有四种可以让你不再过度保护孩子的方法”能够引出下文
32、，符合题意。故选 A 项。 20E 根据本段内容可知，要教会孩子过马路、做饭、记得把自己的东西放在背包里。E 项“培养孩子的技能”能概括本段内容 ，符合题意。故选 E 项。EEach year，many animal species die out.They join the countless species that have gone extinct(灭绝的) over the course of the earths history and many people believe they disappear forever. 21 Now some scientists are fo

35、 that they were on their way to bringing back the gastric brooding frog.That we can bring species back doesnt mean that we should do that.There may be much benefit of reviving(使复生) a species，but theres no way to know how it will turn out. 24 Or might it crowd out existing species? Environmentalists
36、worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation.25 If we can correct our mistake，why not use the chance to do that?

39、该那样去做。21D 空格前指出“许多人认为一些动物物种会永远消失” ；第二段首句指出“现在一些科学家正致力于恢复这些灭绝物种的研究” ；由此可知，D 项“然而，你也许需要重新定义永远这个词的含义”与上文中的“forever”呼应，且引出下文内容，符合语境。故选 D。22G 根据上文可知，研究人员需要 DNA 来克隆一个物种；根据下文可知，恐龙已经消失太久了，它们的 DNA 存在于它们的化石当中；由此可知，此处应是对 DNA 进行介绍，G 项“DNA 是一种携带了生物结构的化学物质”承上启下，符合语境。故选 G。23C 根据上文可知，我们真的有机会能够恢复更接近现代的灭绝物种；根据下文可知，空格
40、后主要讲述的是研究例证；由此可知，C 项“这甚至包括冰川时期的动物如猛犸象”承接上文，下文的例子则对其进行了进一步论证，符合语境。故选 C。24E 根据空格后的“Or”表并列可知，此处与下文应是对称的一般疑问句。E项“例如，旅鸽能够适应之前的栖息地吗”与下文衔接密切，符合语境。故选 E。25A 根据第四段内容可知，恢复物种也许会有很多好处，但“我们”无法知道结果如何。环保人士担心恢复物种的能力也许会对传统的保护物种的艰辛工作产生不良影响；空格后句意：如果“我们”能纠正自己的错误，为什么不利用这次机会呢？由此可知，上下文之间构成转折关系。A 项中的“However.our mistake.”照应下文，符合语境。故选 A。
