B.barely

C.definitely

D.rarely

答案

参考答案:B

解析: 文章相关部分是shy students need the security with a supportive adult (103) visible in the background,空格处将填入一个副词修饰visible,其含义是腼腆的学生需要一定的安全感,这种安全感来自一位成人在背后……能看见的地方提供支持。根据文意可推知,青少年需要成人的支持,但不需要成人过多的参与,因为他们需要独立地去完成事情。选项中particularly和definitely是程度副词,在visible前可表强调,但“特别看得见”和“肯定看得见”不合文意。rarely为频率副词,加进去表示“很少看得见”,因此也不合适。成人既在场,又不显眼,barely visible(几乎看不见)最符合文意。

问答题

(1)The word "addiction" usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modem-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive(难以自制的)shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.

(2)Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simple enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.

(3)The question is, why do they have this addiction There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely, and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.

(4)Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can ______. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don’t have. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison.

Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one Accordingly, these shopaholics should turn to a certain organization for help so that they can stop compulsive shopping.
