题目内容
12.It seems that the great desire among the young is to be popular.The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else.You can lose yourself in a sea of similar hairstyles and thinking styles.I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter.Margy 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 that's how Margy found it at first.However,as the school year drew to a close,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.If you try to do so,you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.
Some teenagers claim they want 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.Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it.They have come out of their cocoon(茧)into a larger cocoon.
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 non-conformist stand out like a Martian.These days there's a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.Well,go to it.
Be yourself.Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are.That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.

分析 本文作者从自己女儿换了新学校后迅速受到新同学欢迎的事实谈起,批判了那些为迎合他人而放弃自我的行为方式,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.
解答 24.D.细节理解题.根据"I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school.That,to me,would have been proof that she had betrayed her true self in order to become popular.Nobody can please everyone"可知,作者认为如果他女儿在新学校已取得人际交往上的即刻成功的话,那么对作者来说,女儿肯定是违背了真实的自我以取悦他人,使自己变得受欢迎.故选D.
25.C.细节理解题.由第五段的内容可知,一些青少年想要随心所欲地穿衣搭配,但却和大多数人穿得一样;一些人在音乐方面想走不同的路,但最终却还是和大多数人听一样的歌;他们思考或做事的方式也总是和大众差不多.由此推断,作者认为大多数青少年缺少与众不同的勇气.故选D.
26.C.词义猜测题.由第六段中的"I know that it has become harder and harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way"可知,想要与众不同,走自己的路越来越难了.由此可推知画线词"nonconformist"指的应是"不遵循常规的人".故选C.
27.A.主旨大意题.由全文内容可知,作者从自己女儿换了新学校后迅速受到新同学欢迎的事实谈起,批判了那些为迎合他人而放弃自我的行为方式,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.因此,作者的写作目的在于劝诫读者追求有价值的名气,而不要去一味地迎合他人.故选A.
