【解析】
文章主要讲述了与过去急于拿到驾驶证或者做兼职工作等来证明自己长大了相比较,美国青少年近来成长缓慢,这主要是由于他们花在社交媒体和手机上的时间太多,而无暇顾及其他的事情。
【1】句意:拿到驾驶证或者做第一份兼职工作在多数青少年生活中是激动的事情。
根据句子结构,可知“拿到驾驶证或者做第一份兼职工作”在这里做主语,根据or前后一致性,前面用getting,所以也用动名词形式;故填working。
【2】句意:但是更少的美国青少年做成年人的事情,像开车或工作。
根据Getting their first license or 1 (work) at their first part-time jobs were exciting events in most teens' lives.和fewer American teens are doing "adult" activities like driving and working now.之间是转折关系,所以用but,句首大写第一个字母;故填But。
【3】句意:太多的家庭作业使他们感觉疲劳吗?
根据make sb+形容词,使某人感觉累;故填tired。
【4】句意:一个儿童专家说今天的青少年不同,是因为他们是第一批伴随着多媒体和智能手机长大的一代。
根据句意可知是第一代,用序数词表达顺序;故填first。
【5】句意:多媒体和智能手机对孩子们的快速成长有哪类影响?
根据副词修饰动词短语grow up;故填quickly。
【6】句意:这也许解释了为什么更少的孩子对成年人的活动感兴趣。
根据上文内容和explain可知是“为什么更少的孩子对成年人的活动感兴趣”;故填why。
【7】句意:在高中得到第一个驾照过去常常被认为能给朋友留下深刻印象的很酷的事情。
这是一个定语从句,something "cool"是先行词,引导词用that;故填that。
【8】句意:但是今天孩子们避免和别人分享这种事情。
avoid doing sth避免做某事;故填sharing。
【9】句意:很难说长得慢了是好还是坏。
It’s+形容词+to do sth做某事是怎样的,不定式作形式主语;故填to say。
【10】句意:但是孩子们有更多时间来用于社会和情感的发展。
根据social 社会的,emotional情感的,形容词修饰名词;故填development。
语法填空题,注意对于文章内容的把握和语法的正确使用。这篇文章是说美国的一种社会现象,现在的年轻人和过去的年轻人对问题不同的看法,文章有点难度,所以要仔细读懂这篇文章的大意后,注意上下句的联系,然后再通读短文,要注意一些语法的正确应用,注意一些固定结构。例如:小题9 It’s+形容词+to do sth做某事是怎样的,不定式作形式主语;故填to say。
