29、g Men Lawn Care Service (RMLCS) to mow lawns for the elderly,disabled,single moms and former soldiers free of charge.”可知史密斯创建了RMLCS来免费为老人,残疾人,单身母亲和退伍军人修剪草坪。故选B项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When they have completed the task for 50 yards,they receive a special visit from Smith or someone with RMLCS. They give
30、 the volunteer a new lawnmower, free of charge, and cut other lawns with them.”可知当这些孩子完成修剪50片草坪的任务时, Smith或RMLCS的其他人会对他们进行一次特别的拜访。他们会给这些孩子一台新的割草机,并一起修剪草坪。这说明一个小孩如果收到一台RMLCS送的新的割草机意味着他/她完成了修建50片草坪的任务。故选D项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“So its spreading worldwide.

32、e great desire among the young is to be popular. The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else.

33、gy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is like spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. At least thats how Margy found it at first. However, as the school year drew to a close
34、, one student after another came to her. I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. Nobody can please everyone.

35、to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up listening to the same record.

36、I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave. Our way of life makes a young nonconformist stand out like a Martian. These days theres a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. You

41、分析:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者从自己女儿换了新学校后迅速受到新同学欢迎一事入手,批判了一些人为迎合他人就放弃自我的行为方式的行为,并就“受欢迎”表达了自己的观点:做真实的自己,别人也会尊重你的本真。 【小题1】D 细节理解题。根据第一段“The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else. You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.”(想要受欢迎的欲望会迫使你看起来和行为像其
42、他人一样。你可能会迷失在一模一样的发型和思维方式的海洋中)以及第二段“ I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. Nobody can please everyone.

45、的I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave可知,我知道,一个年轻人要在人气大潮中挺身而出已经变得越来越困难了,此处承接上文,旨在说明想要变得与众不同,走自己的路变得更难了,画线词后的“ stand out like a Martian”是最好的体现。由此可推知画线词指的应是“不遵循常规的人”。因此,答案选C。【小题4】A 推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者从自己女儿换了新学校后迅速受到新同学欢迎一事入手,批判了一些人为迎合他人就放弃自我行为方式的行为并就“受
