题型:不详难度:来源:
Young people are definitely less courageous (勇敢的) than they were 30 years ago. Why is this? It’s because they are spoiled, and take for granted everything that they have or are given.Thirty years ago, there wasn’t nearly as much blatant (公然的) disrespect for elders, peers, or other people in general. At that time, young people were taught that to get anything or get anywhere in life, they’d have to work for it and earn it.
If young people aren’t being taught the basics of respecting others, and aren’t being taught that they need to work to make a living, then where are they to learn courage?
Courage isn’t necessarily about risking your life, for whatever reason. It is about being able to face any kind of hardship, and to make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions.
Courage means being able to learn from hard times, and to take those lessons with you through life. It means having the resourcefulness (足智多谋) to find ways to deal with your problems yourself, and not being afraid to do so.
Too many young people now rely on parents, siblings, older relatives and others to get them through life. Too often they turn to these figures whenever they get into trouble, and expect to have their problems solved for them.
If we are to help our young people become more courageous, we should stop spoiling them, stop doing everything for them, and teach them the skills necessary to make basic life decisions on their own.
Once these basic principles are instilled (灌输) in our young people, I think we’ll find that they are more courageous than we could have dreamed, and more like the young people of thirty years ago than we had ever imagined.
It’s time to go back to older values and ideas, and to bring courage back into our young people and society.

解析
试题分析:
本文讲述了现在的年轻人和30年前的人相比较,现代人缺少勇气。因为他们被过分溺爱,对于他们所拥有的或所给予的都认为是理所当然。太多的年轻人常依赖于他人的帮助来解决问题。应该给年轻人灌输原来的价值原则,把勇气带回到年轻人的社会中。小题1:句意:与30年前的年轻人相比,现在的年轻人更缺乏勇气。Compare with……“与……相比”。
小题2:根据第二段“Thirty years ago, there wasn’t nearly as much blatant (公然的) disrespect for elders, peers, or other people in general. ”30年前几乎没有这么多公然对长辈或其他人的不恭之处。而文章一直在将现代人和30年前的比较,可知现在年轻人常对长辈或其他人无礼。所以填disrespect。
小题3:根据第六段“Too many young people now rely on parents, siblings, older relatives and others to get them through life.”可知现在太多年轻人依赖于父母,兄弟姐妹,长辈和其他人来帮他们度过一生。所以填dependent。
小题4:后面列出的都是现代年轻人缺乏勇气的原因。故填Reasons/ Causes。
小题5:根据上下文可知,现代年轻人不知道尊敬他人的基本要素。所以填aware。
小题6:根据第三段的那句反问,可知现代年轻人没有被教授要通过努力工作来实现梦想。所以此空填realize / live。
小题7:通过文章第 4.5.6段可知,现代年轻人没有明智作出决定和独立克服困难的能力。故填ability。
小题8:根据“Too often they turn to these figures whenever they get into trouble, and expect to have their problems solved for them.”可知他们一有麻烦就向这些人求救,并期待能为他们解决这些问题。所以此处填trouble。
小题9:根据“If we are to help our young people become more courageous, we should stop spoiling them, stop doing everything for them,”如果我们要帮助年轻人变得更勇敢,应该停止溺爱他们,不要什么都为他们做。所以这里的建议是“不要溺爱他们”,故填spoil。
小题10:结论就是文章最后一段,只是这里用了一般过去时,所以填bring的过去式brought。

【1】Entering a study abroad program was a personal program for myself. College had not been fun up until that point. I was looking for excitement. After meeting a guy who loved to travel, he convinced me that studying abroad was one of the best decisions he had ever made and that I should try it. Immediately I visited my study abroad office and discovered many choices. I only spoke Spanish, but not fluently enough to feel comfortable in a program that was based in Spain or Mexico. This meant I needed a country that spoke English. Finally I chose the University of Central London.
【2】Many people hesitate before studying abroad because they think they__________. I went to college on loans(贷款), so a semester abroad would be no different. The additional expenses, such as food and travel, were the most expensive part of the trip. Any student travelling abroad received part of a grant donated to our school. This took almost $ 2,000 off the cost of my trip.
【3】Looking back on my experience years later, I am grateful that I took the chance and studied in London. I made a number of friends in London with locals, who are willing to help me anytime. I never felt unsafe because they would show me how to live in London, where to go and how to get anywhere I needed to go.
【4】My favorite memories in London is turn around my classwork. When studying abroad I took an English class that focused on British humor. During this class we watched British films and went to live performances. Before this class, I never understood British humor, and now I enjoy it more than American humor. My favorite class was art history. I cannot express to anyone how interesting it was to take art history in London.
【5】When people ask me if I would study abroad again, I exclaim, “yes!” You will never learn any lessons or information like you do when travelling abroad to a foreign country. As a person you will grow independent from everything. You will learn how to make friends and survive alone on your own. You will also learn to respect and understand other cultures.

My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I had finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA (美国宇航局) was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity.
I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…”
Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5, 2012, at 10: 31pm, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She would tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.

As a child I dreamed of become a movie star, while my best friend Jim wants to be a director. One day he asked me that I wanted to star in a movie he was making. It based on the story of another friend of ours, Kate. She once gets lost in a forest, but managed to find his way home. It was an interesting story, so the movie never got off the ground because of we didn’t even have a camera. In fact, we just wanted to playing games in the forest. However, it is one of the most unforgettable childhood memory I have.
