Question

Moving to a new neighborhood，town，state，or even country can be a pretty scary experience.All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won’t know the kids at your new school.

The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried.This is perfectly normal but don’t let these emotions overrun your thoughts！You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.

Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult.However，as you begin the moving process，keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house，school，and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent！If you’re moving to a new state or even a different country and won’t see your friends for a long nme，don’t despair.Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters.Also，thanks to the Internet，it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies.With your parent’s permission，you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new experiences.Include your thoughts，tales of your new adventures，even pictures of new friends，your new house，and new town.Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.

Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week.This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.

While moving is tough on kids of any age，high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens.“I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience，especially if you are into your junior high or senior year.Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives.Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases，and when they are torn from that there’s often resentment (怨氣)．” However，Turner adds that while moving isn’t easy，there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.

【解析】

語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。對青少年來說，搬家會令他們感到緊張和憂慮，因為這意味著要離開熟悉的環(huán)境、特別是熟悉的朋友們。對此，本文給出了一些建議來幫助青少年盡快適應(yīng)新的環(huán)境。

1.解析：　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.”可知，其中的“You”實際上指的就是學(xué)生，即本文的目標(biāo)讀者。

答案：　D

2.2】解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，該段主要是講述如果你搬到一個新地方，很長時間看不到朋友，不要絕望，可以通過信件、網(wǎng)絡(luò)等方式與老朋友保持聯(lián)系。

答案：　A

3.3】解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句“This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.”可知，“導(dǎo)向計劃”是給新學(xué)生提供幫助。

答案：　C

4.4】解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段Karen Tuner所說的話可知，搬家對青少年來說尤其困難，因為此時他們在生活中已經(jīng)建立了深厚的友誼，因此不愿離開朋友，也就是說，青少年更容易依戀他們的朋友。

答案：　B

5.5】解析：　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句提到“there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.”可推測出，如果短文繼續(xù)寫下去，作者討論的應(yīng)該是父母和學(xué)校怎樣來幫助孩子們。
