Question

【题目】 Name-calling, teasing, pushing and fighting—whether you have experienced it or not, the chances are that these are the things that appear in your mind when you hear the word “bullying”. Yet, many of us know little about the serious, lasting harms bullying could cause.

If you’ve watched 13 Reasons Why, you’ll understand the impacts that bullying can have. The second season of the popular US teenage drama was released on May 18. It tells the story of Hannah Baker, a high school student who takes her own life after she’s picked on by fellow students, while others stand by and do nothing to help her.

One of the important messages audiences could get from the show is to treat people with kindness and respect. “It teaches us that every single thing we say and do has an impact on others,” news platform Odyssey noted.

Some may think 13 Reasons Why exaggerates (夸大) the seriousness of school bullying, but according to the US National Center for Educational Statistics, more than 20 percent of US students were bullied in 2016, and only 36% of this group reported it.

NBA player Gerald Green opened up about being called “alien hands” during his teenage years due to his big hands. “Being bullied was embarrassing,” he said. “I still remember shying away from crowds and walking around with my hands in my pockets to evade the attention from my peers.” To get away with the teasing, he found his motivation by playing basketball and making a career out of it. But not everyone is so lucky to discover a release.

According to statistics released by the US government, if someone prevents a bully, there’s a 57% chance that the bullying will stop within 10 seconds. So if you ever witness bullying, consider stepping up and supporting the victim. As US actor Brandon Flynn, who stars in 13 Reasons Why, said, “Just because you’re not the one getting bullied, it doesn’t mean it’s not your problem.”

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章通过借助一部流行的美国青年电视剧中的例子、美国国家教育统计中心的统计数据以及NBA的杰拉德·格林的例子，让大家感受到学校暴力事件的严重性，并呼吁大家遇到暴力事件要及时制止。

【1】推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的“if someone prevents a bully, there’s a 57% chance that the bullying will stop within 10 seconds.（如果有人阻止暴力，有57%的可能性，这场暴力事件在10秒钟内会停止）”及“So if you ever witness bullying, consider stepping up and supporting the victim.（如果你目睹了一场暴力事件，考虑站出来帮助一下受害者）”可知，在这段中，作者呼吁大家看到暴力事件时采取行动。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“but according to the US National Center for Educational Statistics, more than 20 percent of US students were bullied in 2016, and only 36% of this group reported it.（但是根据美国国家教育统计中心的统计数据，20%多的学生在2016年受到过暴力事件，但是其中只有36%的学生报告了其所遭遇的暴力事件）”可知，在遭受暴力的群体中，很多人没有寻求帮助。故选D。

【3】词义猜测题。划线单词所在句子的句意为“我一直记得躲避大群的同学，走路时把手插进口袋躲避同龄人的注意力”。其中的“shy away from crowds”与“evade the attention from my peers”是同义词，都是躲避大家，不引起他们注意力的意思。A. Attract吸引；B. Focus集中注意力；C. Avoid避免，回避；D. Keep保持。故选C。

【4】细节理解题。由第二段中的“If you’ve watched 13 Reasons Why, you’ll understand the impacts that bullying can have.（如果你看了十三个原因，你就会理解暴力的影响。）”以及这一段中讲述的十三个原因第二季中的高中生被刁难后自杀的故事，我们可以知道这是一部关于学校暴力的影视剧。故选C。

猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式：生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词（代词或者名词）。从近三年考查形势看，三种考查方式同等重要。本文中考查的是生词猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词前后找到其释义句或释义词。例如本文划线句子中的and表示前后是并列关系，那么其中的“shy away from crowds”与“evade the attention from my peers”就是同义词，都是躲避大家，不引起他们注意力的意思。故选C。本题猜出意思即可解出答案。有的题目根据释义句猜测出划线单词意思后，还需要将选项代入划线单词处看主谓宾搭配是否合理。
