Different pressures in adolescence
As a teenager, there are so many pressures in your life and so many things are changing in adolescence(青春期). For example, your body is changing. When you observe yourself changing, you may not a always be happy with what you see. If you are a girl, your breast(乳房)begin to grow. For some girls this may be embarrassing, especially if your friends haven’t developed yet. If you are a boy, you may start to grow facial hair, which can be equally embarrassing. Remember that everyone goes through these changes. Be proud of your body because it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s bringing you closer to being an adult.
Another difficulty a teenager faces is how to deal with social groups. You want to fit in but sometimes it’s difficult to break into certain groups. In this case, you can speak to members of the group individually(分别地)and if they accept you, great; if not, leave it alone. If you try too hard to get into a group, they’ll be more likely to refuse you more, for fun. What’s more, it’s better to stay with those who you enjoy speaking with and feel comfortable with. In fact, it is the best thing to find someone who likes the way you are.
Teenagers may also have pressures in school. Teachers are going to prepare you for the outside world, which means you’ll have more schoolwork. At this time, you’d better take a step back and relax. After all, they just want you to succeed. In the real world, no ne will tell you what to do, but your boss will fire you if you don’t show up or finish your work on time. So take your time and make good use of it. if you have any problems you can share them with your teacher.
Besides all the demands(要求)at school, you may have more at home. If your parents have high expectations for you, you may feel pressure from different areas. But remember they just want the best for you. If your parents don’t care about how your study is or who your friends are, then you can find another adult like a teacher to believe in. once you get support from people you trust, your hard times will be over before you know it.

【解析】句意：这个男孩坚持认为他没有做错事，应该被立刻释放。此题考查insist的用法，
当insist意为 “坚持说/坚持认为”时，即that从句表示已经发生的动作时，则宾语从句使用陈述语气，根据语境可知第1空用过去完成时；insist意为“坚持要求/坚持主张”，即that从句的动作当时尚未发生的话，则宾语从句必须使用虚拟语气，即从句谓语动词由“should + 动词原形”构成，且should可以省略，故第2空用（should）be set free。综上可知选C。 【名师点睛】 insist的用法：
1、insist on/upon (sb/one's) (doing) sth
如：You should insist on your dream. 你应该坚持梦想。
You should insist upon doing exercise every day. 你应该坚持每天锻炼。 You should insist on her apologizing to you. 你应该坚持她向你道歉。 2、insist + that引导的宾语从句
1）如果insist翻译为“坚持说/坚持认为”，即that从句表示已经发生的动作时，则宾语从句使用陈述语气，即从句该用什么时态就用什么时态，当然还要和主句时态保持呼应。 如： She insisted that she was right. 她坚持认为自己是正确的。
She insisted (that) she had been to Beijing the year before.她坚持说她前年去过北京。
2）如果insist翻译为“坚持要求2/坚持主张1”，即that从句的动作当时尚未发生的话，则宾语从句必须使用虚拟语气，即从句谓语动词由“should + 动词原形”构成，且2should 可以省略。如：
He insisted that she (should) say sorry to him first.他坚持要求她首先给他道勤。
7．A
【解析】句意：一些专家说似乎增加学生关注可以增加学生自信以及减少他们焦虑的趋势。动词state后接宾语从句，从句中使用固定结构it seems that…“似乎”。故选A。 8．B

【解析】A. defend保护，防卫；B. explain解释；
C. mix混合；D. count数，记数，把…考虑在内，包括。count as当作。Green先生告诉我新的旅馆一直在被谈论，但是直到他看到地面上的砖，他也没有把他们当作竞争对手。 12．D
【解析】句意：---林女士已经到了吗？----是的。我是现在带她进来还是让她在外面等呢，先生？shall可用在问句中表示征求对方意见，主要用于第一、三人称，有“…好吗？”，“要不要”等意思。故选D。 13．C
【解析】考查时态。句意：我们7月15号离开南京，那时我们要乘坐去非洲北部的摩洛哥。根据语境可知这里表示在将来的某一个时间正在进行的动作，故用将来进行时。选C。 【名师点睛】
将来进行时态的结构及用法：
将来进行时由will/shall+be+现在分词构成。
通常用于表示最近或很久的将来正在进行的动作，将来进行时常用来表示说话人设想已经安排好的事。 如： I’ll be working for my exams next month. 下个月我将用功看书准备考试.
By this time tomorrow, I’ll be lying on the beach. 到明天的这个事件，我就躺在沙滩上了。 将来进行时与一般将来时有时表达的意思差不多，但一般将来时中的will经常具有蓄意为之的含义（如表示主语的意愿、决心、许诺等），将来进行时不具有这些含义，只表示单纯的将来，或者说只陈述将来的事实，但它语气比单用will时委婉客气。 试比较下面句子：
When will you finish these letters? （如上司对下属） When will you be seeing Mr. White? （如下属对上司） Mary won’t pay this bill. （她拒绝付帐）
Mary won’t be paying this bill. （将来的事实）
Won’t you join us for dinner? 你来和我们一起吃饭好吗?（邀请）
Won’t you be joining us for dinner? 你会和我们一起吃饭吗?（将来的事实） 14．A
【解析】句意：根据你所说的，你认为安排一次像这样的会议很滑稽，是吗？本题考查反意疑问句，当陈述部分是“主语+宾从”时，反意疑问句的主谓要和主句的主谓保持对应关系。根据前肯后否的原则，可知故A。 【名师点睛】
宾语从句的反意疑问句的对应规则： 一、若反意疑问句的陈述部分为
I （we）think（believe，suppose，consider等）＋that 从句时，问句部分的助动词和主语与that从句内的动词和主语保持一致。
Eg.1. I think that he has done his best, hasn't he? 2. We think that English is very useful, isn't it? 二、若反意疑问句的陈述部分为
I （we）don' t think（believe，suppose，consider）＋that从句时，从句为否定意义，问句部分的助动词和主语仍与that从句保持一致，用肯定形式。 Eg.1.I don't think that you can do it, can you? 2. We don't believe that the news is true, is it?
三、反意疑问句的陈述部分为非第一人称主语＋think (believe，suppose，consider)+that 从句时，问句部分的助动词和主语与陈述部分的助动词和主语保持一致。 Eg.1.They all think that English is very useful, don't they? 2. He didn't think that the news is true, did he? 3. We think that we will win the game, won’t we? 15．A
【解析】句意：----今天是个野餐的好天气！----是的，昨天也一样。根据句意，这里表达的意思是It was a good day for a picnic yesterday.根据句意，两个主语适用于相同的情况，可用so引导部分倒装句，故选A。
16．D 17．A 18．C 19．D 20．C 21．A 22．B 23．B 24．D 25．A 26．C 27．B 28．D 29．A 30．C 31．B 32．D 33．A 34．C 35．B
