I can surely report that growing up brings pain and pleasure at the same time. 13 Adolescence (青春期) is a time of big physical and emotional change. For many of us this change is together with feelings of self—doubt, envy (嫉妒) and other bad feelings. Clearly, we are neither children nor adults. We are always asked to act like “grown ups” in certain situations, but not in others. “Be responsible and act your age…but be home by 9: 00 pm!” 14 Thankfully, there is also pleasure. Though we have to study, few of us need to worry about money or housework. As a result, whether it is playing sport or reading books, we have time to enjoy ourselves. 15 Pleasure and pain alike, can be shared with those who know exactly how we feel. Despite (尽管) the challenges, as far as I am concerned, the pleasure of being a young adult is more than the pain. 16 However, perhaps in the future we will look back on adolescence as “the best days of our lives”. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．First, there is the pain. B．It may not always seem so now. C．On top of this, we have our friends. D．These mixed messages can be hard to deal with. E．Being children, most of us lived carefree and happy lives. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分25分) 第一节(共10 小题;每小题1.5 分，满分 15 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Have you ever done volunteering before?
