yourschooldoes.Itwillexpectyoutolearntounderstandtherealworldafter

youleaveschool."可知，當(dāng)青少年離開學(xué)校后，現(xiàn)實(shí)世界會(huì)告訴他們它到底是什么樣子

的。故選B項(xiàng)。］

9.Whatdoestheunderlinedword"earn"meaninChinese?

A.掙錢B.拯救

C.花費(fèi)D.浪費(fèi)

A［詞義猜測題。畫線詞所在句意為：他只關(guān)心你能幫他多少錢。根據(jù)上文可

知，畫線詞所在句中的“He”指代的是上文中的“Yourboss”，結(jié)合上文內(nèi)容和生活常識

可知，你的老板不會(huì)給你更多的關(guān)心和幫助，他只關(guān)心你幫他掙了多少錢。由此可推斷出

“earn”意為“掙錢”。故選A項(xiàng)。］

Instead,itmakesyoulookmoronic（低能的）.”和“Agrown-upteenagershouldknow

howtobesmart."可知，抽煙對青少年來說是不好的行為，當(dāng)你是一個(gè)十幾歲的在校學(xué)生

時(shí)，不應(yīng)該抽煙。故選C項(xiàng)。］

11.Whatcanweinferfromthepassage?

A.Thewritermightbeateacherwhohasmuchexperience.

B.Noteenagerscanreallyunderstandtherealworld.

C.Almostallteenagerswon，tbeabletogetusedtothefuturelife.

shouldbeallowedtolearninschool,butnot.Theyareimportanttoteenagers,

althoughnotallofthemhavetodowiththeirsubjects.??可知,有些規(guī)定應(yīng)該允許

青少年在校學(xué)習(xí)，它們對青少年很重要，盡管不是所有的都和他們學(xué)習(xí)的科目有關(guān)，但不幸

的是，在校期間這些規(guī)定并沒有被學(xué)習(xí)。接下來文章列舉了五點(diǎn)青少年應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)的規(guī)則，這

些規(guī)則都是青少年離開學(xué)校后會(huì)學(xué)到的。由此可推斷出，青少年離開學(xué)校后還有很多東西要

學(xué)。故選D項(xiàng)。］
