Question

Here are two letters to George and his answers.

Dear George, I’m fourteen and I’m much shorter for my age. What’s worse, I’m very fat. I want to lose weight to be 55 kg and to be taller and then I can go to the school basketball team and enjoy myself. Can you help me? Bob

Dear Bob, Don’t worry if you’re shorter than your friends. Teenagers（青少年）grow at different times. It doesn’t matter how heavy you are. You are still the same person. Plan your meals with your mum, and she can help you lose weight. Also, try to take more exercise. George

Dear George, I’m learning French but I don’t get good marks. I don’t know why. Sometimes I want to give up. But I know I shouldn’t because languages are going to be very important. What should I do? Alice

Dear Alice, You are right. You should never give up, and I’m sure that you’ve made more progress than you think. You can talk to your teacher and ask her what you should do to get a better grade. Talk to your friends who are good at French. Find something that helps you. George

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要是鲍勃和爱丽丝给乔治写信请求乔治的帮助以及乔治分别给他们的回信。

1.C归纳理解题。根据四封信的内容可知，乔治应该不是老师，因为鲍勃向他询问如何减肥的问题；乔治也不是医生，因为爱丽丝向他咨询法语学习的问题；乔治也不是鲍勃和爱丽丝的朋友，朋友间的情况应该比较熟悉。结合选项可知，乔治是一个能给别人建议的人。故应选C。

2.C细节理解题。根据第一封信“I want to lose weight to be 55 kg.”的描述可知，鲍勃现在的体重应该超过55公斤。结合选项可知应选C。

3.B推理判断题。根据第三封信“I’m learning French but I don’t get good marks. I don’t know why.“的描述可知，Alice正在学法语，但他取得不了好成绩。由此可知她在担心她的成绩。故应选B。

4.A细节理解题。根据第二封信“Plan your meals with your mum, and she can help you lose weight. Also, try to take more exercise.“的描述可知，要和妈妈计划一下你的饭，她能帮你减肥，你也努力多做锻炼。结合选项可知应选A。

5.B细节理解题。根据第四封信“You can talkto your teacher and ask her what you should do to get a better grade.“的描述可知，乔治建议爱丽丝可以和老师谈谈，询问他应该如何取得更好的成绩。故应选B。
