【题目】

The impact of bullying behavior is not confined to geographic boundaries. Negative impacts and lessons learned can be found across the world. To share the work being done outside the United States, StopBullying.gov is honored to highlight the work of Ditch(抛弃) the Label in the United Kingdom and its CEO Liam Hackett.

Imagine that you have just 【1】 a young person bullying one of his peers. How would you respond? Our 【2】 is often to punish the ‘bully’ and to 【3】 emotional support and reassurance to the ‘victim’. This is what has been used in many cases of bullying – punishment and reactive support.

What if I tell you that there are new and more effective ways of tackling the issue? Ways in which bullying could be prevented from happening in the first place?

Firstly, I would like you to 【4】 the words ‘bully’ and ‘victim’ from your vocabulary. At Ditch the Label, we never use either of those words to describe somebody because bullying is a behavior and not an identity. Society has certain 【5】 about those words that can be 【6】 damaging and frequently discourage people from reaching out for help. We already know that those who are identified as being a ‘bully’ are twice as likely to engage in crime later on in life.

We 【7】 8,850 young people aged 12-25 in the United Kingdom and we know that people who bully others are more likely to have difficulties at home, and probably have recently experienced something traumatic or 【8】 and aren’t dealing with it in positive ways. As a result, their physical and mental health suffers, with 29% feeling constantly physically ill. The similarity with those who have been bullied is clear – 27% report feeling constantly physically ill.

Finally, the support for the person being bullied is 【9】 and should never be ignored. But instead of punishing the person doing the bullying, try to find the root issues and help them through. This takes time and patience, but by helping them overcome their issues, you are 【10】 preventing numerous other people from being bullied.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了应当如何新的、更有效的方法来解决“欺凌”问题。首先，从词汇表中去掉“恃强凌弱者”和“受害者”这两个词，因为欺负是一种行为，而不是一种身份。作者通过一项调查发现欺负别人的人更有可能在家里有困难，可能最近经历了一些创伤或压力，没有以积极的方式处理它。最后支持被欺负的人是至关重要的，试着找出问题的根源，帮助他们渡过难关。

【1】考查动词时态。句意：想象一下，你刚刚目睹了一个年轻人欺负他的同伴。结合上文you have just可知为现在完成时，需要填过去分词，且结合句意表示“目睹”故填witnessed。故选K。

【2】考查名词。句意：我们的本能常常是惩罚“霸凌者”，为“受害者”提供情感支持和安慰。根据上文our可知应填名词，且结合句意表示“本能”为instinct。故选D。

【3】考查动词。句意同上。结合上文to punish the ‘bully’ and to可知本空应填动词原形，且结合句意表示“提供”，故填provide。故选E。

【4】考查动词。句意：首先，我希望你从你的词汇表中去掉“霸凌者”和“受害者”这两个词。结合上文I would like you to可知应填动词原形，且结合句意表示“去掉”动词为remove。故选F。

【5】考查名词。句意：社会对这些词有一定的假设，这些假设具有极大的破坏性，并且经常使人们不愿伸出援助之手。分词上文可知本空为名词做宾语，且结合句意可知表示“假设”且由certain修饰，故用名词复数形式assumptions。故选A。

【6】考查副词。句意同上。修饰下文damaging形容词应用副词，且结合句意表示“极其；极大”副词为incredibly。故选J。

【7】考查动词时态。句意：我们调查了8850名年龄在12-25岁之间的英国年轻人，我们了解到欺负别人的人更有可能是家中有困难，或者最近经历了一些创伤或压力，没有以积极的方式处理它。本空需要填动词做谓语，且结合下文8,850 young people aged 12-25 in the United Kingdom可知为“调查”，且应用一般过去时，故填surveyed。故选I。

【8】考查形容词。句意同上。结合上文something traumatic or可知应填形容词，且表示“有压力的”为stressful。故选H。

【9】考查形容词。句意：最后，支持被欺负的人是至关重要的，不应该被忽视。结合上文is可知本空应为形容词，且表示“至关重要的”为vital。故选C。

【10】考查副词。句意：这需要时间和耐心，但是通过帮助他们克服他们的问题，你可以有效地防止许多人被欺负。修饰动词prevent需要副词形式，且结合句意表示“有效地”故为effectively。故选B。
