Read the magazine article about teenagers’ negative thoughts on their physical appearance.
Don’t judge a book by its cover ①
"Don’t judge a book by its cover," the old saying goes ② . Unfortunately, as a teenager, that(that指代前面的“judge a book by its cover”。) is often exactly what you do to yourself(what引导表语从句,并在从句中作do的宾语。) .
Dark thoughts ③ about your physical appearance can hang over ④ you all the time like a rain cloud.([修辞手法]此处采用了明喻的写作手法,将负面想法比作雨云,语言形象生动。) Do I look fat in these jeans ⑤ ?Do others think I am too short?Is everyone laughing at my new hairstyle ⑥ behind my back ⑦ ?These
thoughts can have a negative effect on ⑧ people of any shape or size(介词短语作后置定语,修饰people。), both male and female ⑨ , and it is important to guard against ⑩ the causes behind them.(it为形式主语, 动词不定式短语to guard… them作真正的主语。)
Standards of beauty ⑪in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance(what引导的宾语从句,作介词on的宾语。) . Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars (who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词teens。)are fighting a losing battle ⑫ —these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to ⑬ (“主语+be+adj.(+for sb.)+动词不定式”句型). They will only end up ⑭ feeling worse about themselves.
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance(定语从句,先行词为the way, 省略了关系词that。).If you have friends who are good-looking ⑮ or have a great fashion sense ⑯ , it can feel like (feel like后接从句时,like相当于as if,表示“感觉好像……”。)you are living in their shadow ⑰ . For children of the digital age(介词短语作后置定语,修饰children。) ⑱ , social media makes this problem even worse.(“make+宾语+宾补”结构,表示“使……”,evenworse在此作宾补。)Your friends may post a never-ending ⑲ series ⑳ of photos online to show off ㉑ their beautiful dresses or strong bodies,and it (it作形式主语。)becomes easier for you to compare yourself to ㉒ them.(动词不定式短语作真正的主语。) This (this指代前面的compare yourself to them。)has proved to have a negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.
These external ㉓ influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them(动词不定式短语作后置定语,修饰ways。).First of all,be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly ㉔.They are out of reach ㉕ for 99% of us, so it is better to just forget about them.
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique.(动词不定式结构作表语。) Keep in mind that ㉖ your family and friends love you just the way you are(that 引导的宾语从句,“you are”为省略了关系词that的定语从句,修饰the way。).Talk about your feelings with someone you trust.(省略了关系词who的定语从句,修饰someone。) Hearing how much they value you(动词-ing短语作主语。) can help you feel comfortable in your own skin. Focusing on ㉗ your strengths ㉘ also helps(单个动词-ing短语作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。) you build your confidence ㉙.Everyone has their own talents ㉚ —you may be good at painting or playing the piano ㉛, so take pride in ㉜ things you do well (两个定语从句均省略了在从句中作宾语的关系词。)instead of worrying about things you cannot change.
Finally, it (形式主语)is a good idea to try to direct your attention away from ㉝ negative thoughts.(动词不定式短语为真正的主语。)To achieve this,you should do something you enjoy.(均为省略关系词的定语从句,分别修饰something 和a book。) Read a book you like, or take part in a social activity, like playing a ballgame with your friends. These things can help you take your mind off ㉞ matters that worry you (that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词matters, that在从句中作主语。)and make you feel good about yourself.(“make+宾语+宾补”结构,省略to的动词不定式在此作宾补,此结构表示“使某人做某事”。)
You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside ㉟,not on the inside ㊱ .(what引导的宾语从句,作介词by的宾语。)However,like a book,your contents ㊲ are much more important than your cover.If (if引导的条件状语从句)you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality ㊳ , your value
([注意]阅读中遇到双破折号,可以将双破折号理解为小括号,跳过双破折号中间的内容,从而找出句子主干,然后再看破折号中间的内容,加强对句子的理解。)to others, your achievements ㊴ —you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.(主句)
不要以貌取人
古语说得好:“不要以貌取人。”可惜的是,作为青少年,你却恰恰经常以貌取己。关于你外表的负面想法可能会像雨云一样一直笼罩着你。我穿这条牛仔裤是不是显胖?别人会不会觉得我太矮?大家是不是背地里都在嘲笑我的新发型? 无论男女,不管什么样的体形或身高,人们都会受到这些想法的负面影响,而防备这些想法背后的成因就成了一件重要的事情。
媒体的审美标准会对你如何看待自己的外表产生很大影响。那些试图模仿他们最喜爱的明星形象的青少年们正在打一场无望取胜的仗,因为这些标准对于大多数人来说是根本不可能达到的。他们到头来只会觉得自己更糟。
朋友也会影响你对自己外表的看法。如果你有朋友长得好看,或者很有时尚感,你可能会觉得自己在他们的光环下显得逊色。对于数字时代的孩子们来说,社交媒体会让这个问题变得更加棘手。你的朋友可能会无休止地在网上发布一系列照片,炫耀他们漂亮的连衣裙或强壮的体格,你也更容易陷入和他们的比较之中。事实证明,这会对你如何评价自己的外表产生负面影响。
这些外部影响始终存在,不过我们当然也有办法应对它们。首先要审慎,不要盲从流行的审美标准。这些标准,我们之中99%的人都是达不到的,所以最好不要理会它们。
还有一个建议是你要提醒自己你是独一无二的。你要记住,你的家人和朋友都喜爱你本来的样子。和你信任的人谈谈自己的感受。听听他们有多么在乎你,将有助于你更好地接受自己的形象。专注于自己的强项也能帮你建立自信。每个人都有自己的天赋——你可能擅长画画或弹钢琴,所以要为自己擅长的事情感到自豪,而不要为你不能改变的事情而烦恼。
最后,尽力转移你在消极想法上的注意力是一个不错的主意。要想做到这一点,你应该做一些你乐在其中的事。读一本你喜欢的书,或者参加一项社交活动,比如和朋友们一起打球。这些事情能帮你暂时忘却那些让你烦心的事,让你对自己的感觉好一些。
自我评价时,你可能常常注重外在,而不是内在。然而,就像一本书,内容要比封面重要得多。如果你能学会看到自己的优点——你的个性、你对他人的价值、你的成就——你很快就会开始爱上自己本来的样子。

Usually, healthy diets and a healthy lifestyle fill you with fear because you imagine a simple green salad for lunch and countless hours of doing sports. 1 Here are some advantages of healthy eating.
* You'll feel alive and have more energy.
Healthy eating isn't just about keeping your body healthy, but also about allowing your body to turn what you eat into energy. 2 They can keep you full for longer, and turn you into an energetic person ready to take on the world, or at least go dancing once in a while!
* 3
When you start eating healthy food, your body learns to act. This keeps you away from seasonal colds, and even if you catch the flu by accident, it won't cause as much harm, and you'll overcome it more easily.
*A happier mood(心情) becomes your everyday mood.
4 Sugar levels can raise or lower your mood, but proper blood sugar keeps you balanced. If you don't take in enough nutrition, you will feel unhappy, so healthier food choices will make sure that your body and brain run well.
* The skin will regrow faster, and you'll look younger.
Unluckily, your skin really does show what you eat, drink, or smoke. Being the largest part of your body, your skin is possibly most influenced by your poor food choices. 5
A.You will never be ill.
B.Illnesses and colds are a thing of the past.
C.The longer you keep your body healthy, the longer you will live.
D.But a healthy diet will make you look younger than you really are.
E.Proper nutrition means that your body has enough energy to go every day.
F.Adding vegetables and wholefoods to your meals will increase your energy levels.
G.But you will change your opinions by learning what good proper meals and exercise do to you.

Focusing on ㉗ your strengths ㉘ also helps(单个动词-ing短语作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。) you build your confidence ㉙.Everyone has their own talents ㉚ —you may be good at painting or playing the piano ㉛, so take pride in ㉜ things you do well (两个定语从句均省略了在从句中作宾语的关系词。)instead of worrying about things you cannot change.

不要以貌取人
古语说得好:“不要以貌取人。”可惜的是,作为青少年,你却恰恰经常以貌取己。关于你外表的负面想法可能会像雨云一样一直笼罩着你。我穿这条牛仔裤是不是显胖?别人会不会觉得我太矮?大家是不是背地里都在嘲笑我的新发型? 无论男女,不管什么样的体形或身高,人们都会受到这些想法的负面影响,而防备这些想法背后的成因就成了一件重要的事情。
媒体的审美标准会对你如何看待自己的外表产生很大影响。那些试图模仿他们最喜爱的明星形象的青少年们正在打一场无望取胜的仗,因为这些标准对于大多数人来说是根本不可能达到的。他们到头来只会觉得自己更糟。
朋友也会影响你对自己外表的看法。如果你有朋友长得好看,或者很有时尚感,你可能会觉得自己在他们的光环下显得逊色。对于数字时代的孩子们来说,社交媒体会让这个问题变得更加棘手。你的朋友可能会无休止地在网上发布一系列照片,炫耀他们漂亮的连衣裙或强壮的体格,你也更容易陷入和他们的比较之中。事实证明,这会对你如何评价自己的外表产生负面影响。
这些外部影响始终存在,不过我们当然也有办法应对它们。首先要审慎,不要盲从流行的审美标准。这些标准,我们之中99%的人都是达不到的,所以最好不要理会它们。
还有一个建议是你要提醒自己你是独一无二的。你要记住,你的家人和朋友都喜爱你本来的样子。和你信任的人谈谈自己的感受。听听他们有多么在乎你,将有助于你更好地接受自己的形象。专注于自己的强项也能帮你建立自信。每个人都有自己的天赋——你可能擅长画画或弹钢琴,所以要为自己擅长的事情感到自豪,而不要为你不能改变的事情而烦恼。
最后,尽力转移你在消极想法上的注意力是一个不错的主意。要想做到这一点,你应该做一些你乐在其中的事。读一本你喜欢的书,或者参加一项社交活动,比如和朋友们一起打球。这些事情能帮你暂时忘却那些让你烦心的事,让你对自己的感觉好一些。
自我评价时,你可能常常注重外在,而不是内在。然而,就像一本书,内容要比封面重要得多。如果你能学会看到自己的优点——你的个性、你对他人的价值、你的成就——你很快就会开始爱上自己本来的样子。

一.课文语法填空
“Don't judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes. Unfortunately, as a teenager, that is often exactly 1 you do to yourself. Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical 2 (appear). These standards are extreme and simply 3 (possible) for most of the population to live up to. If you have friends who 4 (be) good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow. The external influences are always present, 5 there are certainly ways to deal with them. Firstly, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards 6 (blind). Secondly, recognize that you are unique and talk about your feelings with someone you trust. 7 (hear) how much they value you can help you feel comfortable in your own skin. Finally, 8 is a good idea to try to direct your attention away from negative thoughts. 9 (achieve) this, you should do something you enjoy. You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much 10 (important) than your cover.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
1.【答案】what
【解析】考查表语从句。设空处无提示词,位于系动词is后,故推测设空处引导表语从句,从句中缺少宾语,此处指“……的事情”,所以应用连接代词what。句意:不幸的是,作为一个十几岁的孩子,那往往正是你对自己做的事情。
2.【答案】appearance
【解析】考查名词。设空处作think of的宾语,且前有your和形容词physical修饰,应用名词。故填appearance。句意:媒体上的审美标准会很大程度地影响你对自己外表的看法。
3.【答案】impossible
【解析】考查形容词。设空处作表语,根据语境和extreme可知,大部分人达到媒体上的审美标准是不可能的,应用possible的反义词。故填impossible。
4.【答案】are
【解析】考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,who引导定语从句,设空处为从句的谓语动词,由上下文语境及后面的have可知此处应用一般现在时,先行词为friends,所以此处谓语动词应用复数形式。故填are。
5.【答案】but
【解析】考查连词。根据语境可知,上下文在意思上构成转折。故填but。
6.【答案】blindly
【解析】考查副词。设空处修饰动词follow,应用副词作状语。故填blindly。
7.【答案】Hearing
【解析】考查动名词。分析句子成分可知,设空处作主语,强调事情本身,是一种经验,应用动名词,注意首字母大写。故填Hearing。
8.【答案】it
【解析】考查代词。由空后的内容可推知此处为“it is+n.+to do sth.”句型,设空处作形式主语,后面的动词不定式短语作真正的主语。故填it。
9.【答案】To achieve
【解析】考查动词不定式。根据语境可知,设空处表示目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语,注意首字母大写。故填To achieve。
10.【答案】more important
【解析】考查形容词的比较级。根据语境和空后的than可知此处表示比较,设空处应用形容词的比较级。故填more important。

8.Often, they'll end up (fill) the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds.
9.I'll never forget that moment all my classmates stood up and sang the birthday song to me.
1.【答案】contents
【解析】考查名词的数。句意:他们通过逐行阅读书前面的目录开始学习。此处应用名词作宾语,content意为“(书的)目录”时用复数形式。故填contents。
2.【答案】achievement
【解析】考查名词。句意:在过去的几年里,中国在航天技术方面取得了惊人的成就。设空处作宾语,根据不定冠词an和形容词amazing可知,此处应用可数名词的单数形式。故填achievement。
3.【答案】against
【解析】考查固定短语。句意:科学家报告说,有一些证据表明,吃大蒜可以预防癌症。guard against意为“防范,防止”。故填against。
4.【答案】digital
【解析】考查形容词。设空处修饰名词records,应用形容词。故填digital。句意:如今,大多数生物多样性的记录通常以照片、视频和其他数字记录的形式出现。

6.【答案】has seen
【解析】考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的两百年里,这座石桥见证了这个村庄的巨大变化。根据时间状语in the past two hundred years可知,谓语动词应用现在完成时,主语表单数意义。故填has seen。
7.【答案】to get
【解析】考查动词不定式。句意:他似乎很难相处,但实际上并不是。此处为固定句型“主语+be+adj.+to do”。形容词hard说明不定式的特性,主语He是不定式的逻辑宾语,动词不定式用主动形式表示被动意义。故填to get。
8.【答案】filling
【解析】考查动名词。固定搭配end up doing...意为“以做……而告终”。故填filling。句意:通常,他们最后会用小石头填满这片区域,并使用化学品来控制杂草。
9.【答案】when
【解析】考查定语从句。句意:我永远不会忘记我所有的同学都站起来给我唱生日歌的那一刻。先行词为that moment,关系词在定语从句中作时间状语,所以用关系副词when。
三.选词填空(其中有一项多余)

1.【答案】tasty
【解析】考查形容词。此处作定语,修饰名词短语slimming help,应用形容词tasty,意为“美味的”。故填tasty。
2.【答案】especially

4.【答案】to become
【解析】考查动词不定式。句意:吃坚果的人不大可能变得肥胖。be unlikely to do sth.意为“不大可能做某事”。故填to become。
5.【答案】carried
【解析】考查过去分词。句意:研究人员进行的一项长期研究观察了近十九万人的生活方式长达二十多年。分析可知,设空处作后置定语,动词短语carry out与被修饰词study之间为被动关系,所以应用过去分词。故填carried。

9.【答案】A
【解析】考查冠词。researcher是可数名词,此处表示泛指,所以其前应用不定冠词,researcher的发音以辅音音素开头。故填A。
10.【答案】which/that
【解析】考查定语从句。句意:一位研究人员表示,用坚果代替不太健康的食物可能有助于减缓随着我们变老而常见的体重增加,并可能降低变胖的可能性。分析句子可知,设空处无提示词,空后部分缺少主语,故推测设空处引导定语从句,先行词为the weight gain,关系词在定语从句中作主语,且指物,所以用关系代词which或that。Ⅳ.七选五
