In these activities, it is important to remember that the young teens have     34    attention spans. A variety of activities should be organized     35     participants can remain active as long as they want and then go on to     36     else without feeling guilty and without letting the other participants     37    . 

34.[A] similar [B] long [C] different [D] short

35.[A] if only [B] now that [C] so that [D] even if

36.[A] everything [B] anything [C] nothing [D] something

37.[A] off [B] down [C] out [D] alone

34. D

35. C

36. D

37. B

34. D

[解题思路] 空格处的形容词修饰attention spans。span意为“(某事物)自始至终的持续时间或期间”,如:over a span of six years(六年期间)。attention span意为“注意力的持续时间”。根据常识可知青少年一般比较活跃,注意力持续时间较短。另外,句②提到“应组织多种多样的活动,使参与者保持活跃(remain active as long as they want)”,由此也可知青少年对一件事情的注意力持续时间较短。所以选项[D]为正确选项。

 

35. C

[解题思路] 空格前是A variety of activities should be organized,空格后是participants can remain active as long as they want,由选项可知,空格处所填短语是表现这两个句子间的逻辑关系的。显然,“组织多种多样的活动”和“参与者可以保持兴趣”之间是手段与目的关系,此处需要一个可以表目的的连词。四个选项中,只有选项[C] so that表目的,引导目的状语从句。

 

36. D

[解题思路] 空格前的动词短语go on to sth意为“(完成某件事后)接着做……;进而做……”,如:Now that we’ve wrapped up that project, we can go on to another.(既然我们已经顺利完成了那个项目,我们可以进行其他项目了。)空格所在部分表明组织各种各样活动的目的——参与者积极参加完一项活动后,可以再去参加其他活动而不感到内疚。由此可知,应选择一个表示肯定意义的不定代词。四个选项均为不定代词,选项[D] something与else搭配,意为“其他事物”,在句中表示“其他某种活动”,为正确选项。

 

37. B

[解题思路] 空格所在部分without letting the other participants ________ 和without feeling guilty为并列结构,说明参与者转而参加其他活动时,除了不让自己感到愧疚(feeling guilty)外,还不能让别的参与者________。四个短语动词中,选项[B] (let sb) down最符合文意。短语动词let sb down意为“让某人失望”,如:She said she would help, but let them down at the last minute.(她说过要帮忙,可最后却让他们失望了。)
