Even when their guts (直觉) are telling them that someone is crossing a line with them, it’s difficult for them to express that the situation is making them uncomfortable. For this reason, teens need to learn how to set boundaries (界限) with others. Although boundaries are different for everyone, they help teens set limits with others in order to protect themselves. Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK and what is not OK with them, and it is necessary for teen friendships as well. Explanation of Boundaries Boundaries are limits that teens set to protect themselves in some way from being hurt or bullied. As an expression of self-esteem, boundaries let people know who they are, what they value, and how they want to be treated. In addition, boundaries help to create space between teens and other people when they need them. Importance of Boundaries Learning how to set boundaries is an important part of growing up. It’s also necessary to develop relationships that are respectful, supportive, and healthy. However, many teens have trouble setting boundaries with their friends. When it happens, it puts them at risk for everything from unhealthy friendships to bullying. Setting boundaries with other people not only helps keep teens safe but also helps protect their mental health. If teens meet bad people in their lives, such as unkind friends or adults that make them feel uncomfortable, they need to set boundaries with those people, too. Being in an unhealthy relationship can cause bad results. Ways of Setting Boundaries In fact, teens will run into a number of different situations throughout their lives that challenge their values and beliefs. Knowing how to set boundaries can help them stay safe and be true to who they are. Please have a look at the following ways. 37. Which one is a good example of setting boundaries according to the passage? A. George talked about his hobby with his best friend. B Jerry refused to communicate with his parents and friends. C. Kelly asked her parents for help when she was in trouble. D. Betty let her friend know how she wanted to be treated politely. 38. What is the advantage of setting boundaries? A. Getting respect from others. B. Reducing space with others. C. Knowing the value of friends. D. Building up healthy relationships. 39. What does the underlined word “self-esteem” mean in paragraph 3?

What may the writer talk about in the next paragraph? A. The tips for setting boundaries. B. The different types of boundaries. C. The influence of setting boundaries. D.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要阐述了青少年学会设定界限的重要性、界限的含义以及设定界限的方式。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Boundaries are limits that teens set to protect themselves in some way from being hurt or bullied. As an expression of self-esteem, boundaries let people know who they are, what they value, and how they want to be treated.”可知，界限是青少年为保护自己免受伤害或欺凌而设定的限制，能让他人知道自己是谁、重视什么以及希望被如何对待。选项D中贝蒂让她的朋友知道她希望被礼貌对待，符合设定界限的做法，故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK and what is not OK with them, and it is necessary for teen friendships as well. Learning how to set boundaries is an important part of growing up. It’s also necessary to develop relationships that are respectful, supportive, and healthy.”可知，设定界限有助于青少年与他人沟通自己的接受范围，对青少年友谊至关重要，也是成长的重要部分，有利于建立健康、尊重和支持性的关系，即建立健康的人际关系，故选D。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Boundaries are limits that teens set to protect themselves in some way from being hurt or bullied. As an expression of self-esteem, boundaries let people know who they are, what they value, and how they want to be treated.”可知，界限能让他人知道自己是谁、重视什么以及希望被如何对待，这体现了对自己能力和价值的一种自信，所以“self-esteem”意为“对自己能力和价值的自信”，故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。文章结尾提到“Please have a look at the following ways.”，暗示接下来会讲述设定界限的方法，故选A。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后的A~E选项，选出可以填入41~45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Tai chi, an ancient Chinese martial art, has become widely known.

Even when their guts (直觉) are telling them that someone is crossing a line with them, it’s difficult for them to express that the situation is making them uncomfortable. For this reason, teens need to learn how to set boundaries (界限) with others. Although boundaries are different for everyone, they help teens set limits with others in order to protect themselves. Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK and what is not OK with them, and it is necessary for teen friendships as well. Explanation of Boundaries Boundaries are limits that teens set to protect themselves in some way from being hurt or bullied. As an expression of self-esteem, boundaries let people know who they are, what they value, and how they want to be treated. In addition, boundaries help to create space between teens and other people when they need them. Importance of Boundaries Learning how to set boundaries is an important part of growing up. It’s also necessary to develop relationships that are respectful, supportive, and healthy. However, many teens have trouble setting boundaries with their friends. When it happens, it puts them at risk for everything from unhealthy friendships to bullying. Setting boundaries with other people not only helps keep teens safe but also helps protect their mental health. If teens meet bad people in their lives, such as unkind friends or adults that make them feel uncomfortable, they need to set boundaries with those people, too. Being in an unhealthy relationship can cause bad results. Ways of Setting Boundaries In fact, teens will run into a number of different situations throughout their lives that challenge their values and beliefs. Knowing how to set boundaries can help them stay safe and be true to who they are. Please have a look at the following ways. 37. Which one is a good example of setting boundaries according to the passage? A. George talked about his hobby with his best friend. B. Jerry refused to communicate with his parents and friends. C. Kelly asked her parents for help when she was in trouble. D. Betty let her friend know how she wanted to be treated politely. 38. What is the advantage of setting boundaries? A. Getting respect from others. B. Reducing space with others. C. Knowing the value of friends. D. Building up healthy relationships. 39. What does the underlined word “self-esteem” mean in paragraph 3? A. little interest in one’s own value B. doubt about one’s pride and worth C. confidence in one’s own abilities and worth D. feelings of being unworthy of love or respect 40. What may the writer talk about in the next paragraph? A. The tips for setting boundaries. B. The different types of boundaries. C. The influence of setting boundaries. D.
